You can set turns up to help mitigate rulebreaking, making people unable to affect the board until it is their turn. It is mostly a trust scenario as every game has their own set of rules and you just have to assume people are playing fair. You can catch them if they are cheating, as their little hand is always visible on the board. No picking up a card or giving themselves extra stuff, because we all can see it happen.

As for the mods themselves, you just have to look at the games particular rulebook and play from there, much like you would on a real tabletop game.

If someone is an idiot and flips the table, it can easily be undone and everything reverted back to the previous state.

The only issue with table flips is it reloads the entire mod, which for some people is a pain in the ass.

If you're using voice communication through the game, it will cut out while loading too. (So do it through steam)

Dishonored on PC, its my 2012 in 2014 Game of the Year :lol: , loving the stealth mechanics and the non-linear pathing the game offers.

The abilities and upgradeable weapons also add alot more depth to the choices i make.

Keep hearing how if youre looking for a stealth game like the new Thief, you should skip it and play Dishonored instead, now i havent played the new Thief, so i cant say, but im hoping for a Dishonored 2 someday.

How does that work? Can you go back and forth between the two maps or something?
You are supposed to be able to, but you have to find the travel point. I just got it installed and working so I haven't tested that out, yet. I can confirm that the Fallout 3 content is working 99.9% just fine in the Fallout NV engine with all the adjustments. Makes sniper rifles a LOT more useful...

I still need to play more of it just got to play about 2-3 hours and i was doing a stealth play and was boring. My main problem was i had to use the see through wall constantly in order to know where my enemies are. I don't hate it but i found the stealth system a bit lackluster specially since they give a bunch of ways to kill people but killing is bad and get's you the bad ending.

I'm sure i will enjoy it more if i say screw the ending and just play trying to be sneaky but killing everyone if i fail on a mission.

I try to be sneaky, but usually fudge it up and just pull out the pistol and go dirty harry. After i beat it once, would like to play again being as stealthy as possible, blink helps a ton.

Sneaking can be very fun when you get into it on Dishonored, as can a no kill run. I will say though that you don't need to be 100% sneaky to get the good ending though, nor do you have to do a no kill. Luckily, IMO, some of the missions are very easy to complete without much chaos, such as the party mission.

Still love the game to bits, and I personally feel the "bad" ending is actually more appropriate for the world and mythos.

So I always thought Warhawk for the PS1 was an isometric shooter - kind of like Desert Strike. Despite having the PS1 disc (was given to me 15 years ago if not longer) and never playing it, decided to grab it on the PSN sale so I'd have access on a couple systems.

Um, this game is not an isometric, or even a horizontal, shooter. The FMV was a nice 1995 touch at least. Now I need to get my $2.40 worth out of this.
