I could have sworn this was discussed some bit of time back but the only thing I could find in a search is my post about the PnP game, which still looks appealing btw.

I remember seeing lackluster and poor reviews of it a long time ago. No idea if they spruced it up any better.

It's okay, but I think we're a bit spoiled by Neverwinter. They tried making combat more interactive by the implementation of combos and guarding indicators. you have three basic attacks, left, right and overhead. Indicators on the target show how much he's guarding each of those three points so you can alter your attacks accordingly. My biggest complaint though is the quest list. There's no indication what level a quest is so you can easily find yourself at level 5 facing a mob of level 10 baddies. Not a healthy situation, I assure you. I'll keep it installed for the times when Neverwinter's down for maintenance but that's about it.

Oh, it does ask if you're 18+ and it's quickly obvious why when you get to town and see all the female characters running around with no clothes on. Yes, the designers included nipples on their bare breasts. Huh, I expect LGM will now be downloading shortly....

I remember that it was a Mature game though I didn't think it would have bare breasted women very plentiful. I was thinking it was more grit and gore with the occasional T&A. The Hyborian Age is known for large tribal warfare and stunted tech/magic. The women and men of the movies often wore very little. Maybe the books have more boobage?

Yeah, Robert E Howard definitely liked the boobage. The death scenes when you die are kinda nice. Blood spurting with arrows sticking out all over....

I just so happened to watch Conan the Destroyer last week. About to watch the newest Conan The Barbarian even though it got bad reviews. I'm a sucker for the kind of world Howard imagined. Grace Jones still holds up after all this time... as one of the manliest women ever.

The new Conan wasn't bad. It's just hard for folks not to envisage The Governator whenever they hear the name.

Everyone should watch the Conan movies again and see how much better almost anyone could do.

You should read my rant about the new Conan on Pimptania again.

I just read both of your Conan reviews. You were dead on Conan the Destroyer which makes me fear the truth that your remake review holds. You just spared me pain and I thank you.

Glad I caught you before you watched that travesty! Although, if you watch the movie from the EVIL DAUGHTER's perspective, it's an excellent Hero's Journey. Until Conan's flaky bitch kills her. Because Conan would never hurt a woman, himself.

That's a lie sir! Conan has killed plenty of sorceresses. Not to mention allowing a woman to be sold into slavery because she was bitchy and had made him promise not to ever rescue her again. And quit steering LGM away from carefully laid traps!
