… the screenshots.

To celebrate the successful deliverance of my album to the duplicator, Jess and I got drunk and finished Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance. The ending came as a surprise. We were fighting through a big tower and being careful to carry only the most valuable items per pound so we could cash them in later and all of a sudden we were at the last boss whose name we had heard mentioned for the first time only a few minutes before. The plot seems like it’s being improvised. There’s no central antagonist to fight against, just a cast of evil entreprenuers. That said, it was a good 30 hours plus of two player co-op hack & slash excitement. I think we’ll tackle something else next like Return of the King or Halo, but I see Dark Alliance 2 in our near future.

On another note, I’m three hours into Knights of the Old Republic and playing a lot of palaak. Why doesn’t breaking and entering or stealing count towards your dark side? I’ve jimmy-ed a dozen doors and stolen from countless footlockers and I’m still above reproach.
