I had an interesting discussion a couple of days ago. I was chatting with a relative and the conversation turned to video games. We discussed Fallout 3, Halo, Oblivion, and various other games. We compared playing styles and talked about what we liked and didn't like in games.

So, what's interesting about that?

Well, I'm 42 and the relative was my wife's uncle who is in his 60s. A conversation about the merits of FO3's VATS system would not be out of place between a couple of young adults. But, two men with gray in their beards? Not as unusual as you might think.

I've said a lot of bad things about the Playstation 3. I questioned its abilities. I bemoaned its excessively high price. I postulated it wasn't worth getting when a Wii + an Xbox 360 (the so-called Wii60) was a better deal with better games.

I'm sorry, Sony.

I own a PS3 now (giving me the PSWii combo) and it's freaking awesome. This Fall was to be the "build a new gaming PC". This new rig would play Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins and lots of other great games. But...something funny happened on the way to Newegg.com. Instead of a new PC, I ended up with a new HDTV and a PS3. I think I came out on top on this deal. Especially now Bioware has confirmed Dragon Age: Origins will come to consoles. The last coffin nail in my PC gaming days has been driven in. I'm officially a console fan-boy.

Let the hate-mail begin...

The following was not written by me, it is a copy of a GameFAQs forum post. It details how to change the player character model to one of the NPCs in the game. Further elaboration can be found on  Lucasforums:

It's pretty easy:

Basically I just learned what the users at the official forum were doing:

http://jade.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=551760&forum=108

and tried it out for myself. We're getting pretty far along.

Also, in case u don't want to read the description on youtube, I actually did NOT replace the other characters to choose at the start. All of them are there, and now these extra characters are available for use.

X-Men Legends II Complete Save File

(PC Version. Sorry no console saves available at this time.)

This is an XML2 savegame that features everything complete: main story, all Danger Room scenarios, unlocked Deadpool, Iron Man and Professor X, etc. You can use this to start a new game +.

Before downloading, start XML2 and load up the game in the #1 save slot and re-save it somewhere else (if you want to keep it). Quit the game.

Download file

Unzip the contents to your save directory, which is typically:

My Documents\Activision\X-Men Legends 2\Save

Start XML2 again and load up the saved game. You can then quit to the main menu and start a new game at any difficulty level (including Hard) and you'll have all costumes, characters, etc.
