I think many BD fans will agree w/ me that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> just didn't get much recognition this year from sales, reviewers, & 2004 gaming awards when compared to other games. IGN didn't even MENTION a runner-up for their PC RPG Of The Year, which they gave out to Vampire: Bloodlines. That's fine, but they not even mention a runner-up! I know 2004 was dead w/ PC RPG's, but c'mon --- BD or some other RPG didn't get a mention for runner-up? If anything, to me, it looked like PC RPG would be b/t Vampire: Bloodlines and <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />. IGN even gave <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> a 8.0 in their review, which is a good score. IGN Readers' Awards are coming up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> is on the list for games to vote for on IGN Readers' PC RPG GOTY Award. So, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> fans/gamers, if that's your pick for IGN Readers' RPG PC RPG GOTY for 2004, let your vote be heard there at this link: http://pc.ign.com/articles/574/574238p1.htmlIt seems the way <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> has been treated this year in sales (not as huge as some games), reviews ( <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> received good reviews), and awards (IGN didn't even mention <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> as a runner-up for PC GOTY RPG!), there is another category it could also have a pretty good chance in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> wasn't even listed as a game that could be in this category, for IGN Readers' Best Game No One Played 2004 so, you'd have to E-mail IGN w/ subject: "No One Played" and write in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> in the E-mail's body. You'd send your vote to this E-mail address here: pc_mail@ign.comReaders' Vote: Best Game No One Played 2004
How would you know, anyway?
By IGN Staff
December 20, 2004 - Every year a ton of games get released. It's no coincidence that half of these games just never end up getting the kind of commercial reception that they might like. After all, there's not an endless supply of money out there to buy these games, even if the gamers out there are pretty rabid about their entertainment. Sadly, this means that some great games end up slipping through the cracks. Whether it's because the premises weren't as interesting as others, they didn't have a 2 after their titles, or they just didn't get the exposure that they should have before their releases, they didn't get the consumer recognition that they deserved.
This is a bit of a conundrum. Because this particular vote is for best game no one played, this means most of you haven't played the selections. So we're depending on those of you that actually got off of your lazy asses to play some games that didn't get the promotion that the might have deserved. Get into this vote and fight for the honor of your particular game.
Vote for the Best Game No One Played in 2004!
If your favorite title isn't listed in the poll, no worries; just simply email your choice to us with the word No One Played in the subject line and we'll be sure to include it when we count the votes. EDIT: Um, yeah -- I goofed and put it on the wrong board. Can someone move this to the Beyond Divinity (English) boards?

Don't worry, Jurak. I'm in the USA and enjoying a looooooooooong vacation: visiting libraries, surviving malls and trying to understand the language there ;, - Texas is beautiful, people are very friendly (if not Security guards, not believing I'm merely searching for my Italian sun glasses). And my favourite sports is counting pedestrians on the road - a species in danger of growing extinct <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> - another amusing thing is finding out what "German food" is there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> I never knew that pancakes could be tortured this way... not to mention German ice cream <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> If any Texan reads this, I'm not meaning to insult, I'm just a German savage amusing myself by finding out in how many ways I can bust the usage of a credit card (why does NO traveller guide help out there?) Heavens, I'm used to hunt, kill and pay cash.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> Kiya Oh, yeah, and I bought a few PC games - currently trying to get out of the village in Konung 2 as a healer. Womble? I bought NWN with both addons to replay this in English. And, as a lot of people liked KOTOR, I even bought that, so, I'd be very busy upon return. Have a great kiyaless time all of you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

I guess Kiya will be back some day. I don't worry about her.

Outstanding Achievement in Music
Beyond Divinity
Developer: Larian Studios
Publishers: Hip Interactive (North America), Digital Jesters (UK)
Kirill Pokrovsky demonstrated his talent and sensitivity by creating a score for Beyond Divinity that may well be its defining strength. The individual tracks not only succeed in capturing and conveying a variety of moods to suit the game's range of situations, but also come together to form a unified and eminently enjoyable whole that played a critically important role in Larian's intriguing tale of a character soul forged to a Death Knight

What the heck? BD gets NO respect in 2004, as it still was one of the few PC RPG's release that year -- and it isn't lsited as a nominee. Link: http://www.interactive.org/awards/IAA-8/finalist.asp34. Role Playing Game of the Year Developer Publisher
Neverwinter Nights: Kingmaker BioWare BioWare
Vampires: Bloodline Troika Activision BD isn't even MENTIONED for AIAS awards! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
