It's not about being factually correct it's about being morally right.

Hahaha, Ok. I just seemed to remember you had a fondness for Bourbon, not the specifics of the brands

You may also encounter a book that references Zahua depending on your choices during The White March.

Also, very good video on addiction mechanics, which are put deliberately into games, to make people spending more and more and more. Also including excerpts of the Let’s go Whaling presentation, which was on some developer conference and was about the various kinds of manipulative exploitations, which get’s the money from your pockets the easiest way (including social bullying...) maybe it will show you some reasons, while these companies should be considered as evil corporations as well, even if they are not on the level of Monsanto and Nestlè... Even if you do not like Jim Sterling, this one is worth watching...

OK, that's all I've got

My kind of girl

I was upset there for a moment... until I saw it was Jim Beam.

Age of Conan was good until you left the starter island

Dog walking out of a fire gutted house, great photo if just for the way everyone's eyes are on him.

I really liked the multi-classing system and the character reactivity. The setting held together well, with realistic rationales for the faction behaviors. The graphics and effects are gorgeous. The biggest step back for me was the disconnect between the main plot and the remainder of the setting. In the first game there was at least some connection, with the society suffering from the very issue you were trying to resolve. In the second they seem discordant, creating motivation problems.

Then you, sir, are not my friend!

Trump thinks we had airports in 1775, gets Revolutionary War details confused with War of 1812? It was supposedly a scripted speech, how did no-one catch at least the airport one? ...Trump's constant stream of gaffes might make him a pretty funny guy if he both had zero power and didn't also happen to be a revolting human being...but then we probably wouldn't care if that were the case.

This is how I almost failed my run with a stupid mistake but got lucky

I grew up with a grill made from a trash can so I'm not all that picky with my grills. I went big my first and last time getting a serious business grill and was disappointed. My wife is the more discerning one and she picked out a Traeger which I'd say is more of an appliance than a true grill. I mean, you have to plug it in to use it and it doesn't take wood or charcoal either. It takes these tiny little wood pellets that you load into like a side compartment and then it's all buttons and dials so it's also really hands off.

I'm not a shrink, but I could easily imagine Trump on the podium at the Nuremberg Rally in 1933, enjoying the adulation of the masses, he would fit the profile like a hand in a glove. I dismissed his initial lies as the typical election lies that all politicians give the voters. Not sure anybody really believe election promises (although I'll make allowances for the Fox News audience, but I don't exactly hold them in high regard, unless you read/watch it for the giggles). What made me start thinking this guy has a serious problem with truth and the real world was the lies and exaggerations around his inauguration and the crowd sizes. Hence my comment above about his envy of totalitarian rulers, which can just order a sizeable crowd out on the streets. Edited for weird Friday afternoon spelling techniques applied

Still, it looks like you may be the first to complete it. You've proven your concept in a mirror game, right? Tactician/priest or do I have that wrong? edit: just saw your video below, so I see you are a mage/priest. I'm still looking to prove my concept with ranger/chanter, and may definitely still fail to do that. I have part of FS and all of SSS to go, not in an actual Ultimate, but in a test game. I'm also starting to look at a chanter/priest, played much like I am playing my chanter/ranger except for that way I have priest spells and combos for any fights if/when I run into a wall with the my current character. I was hoping that the Eothas challenge wouldn't be overly difficult, if one makes a character that can win the necessary fights without resting. It sounds like that may not be the case.

Got a new grill yesterday and today we had a crazy unexpected hailstorm just after I started cooking.

I think my run is doomed I've got like 21 day left (59 days past). I'm in SSS now (after the bridge interraction) and I haven't been to FS and Beast of Winter. The main problem is that Belranga is too far away (I killed Nemnok before the fire dragon - that was a mistake and waste of time). My calculations say that I need 23-24 days Don't now if I should start another run or try to finish this one. My kills: Nemnok, Fire Dragon, Watershapers Guild Dragon, Giant Wurm, Concelhaut. And also did 5 fights in SSS (Vela almost died on spiders, which is Seeker's challange, cause of a mistake but I got lucky).

Meh ... Steam still sucks just as bad, and they got developers by the cojones so any shake up could just as easily turn out positive. I mean GOG is stepping up just as a start ... who knows what is next, the optimist in me is like yeah **** finger to Steam, all positive.

can't speak for others, but we got three criticism. 1) let the other guys flex having been a gym guy since high school and involved in national level o' sports competition. am not a small guy. even so, we do not feel the need to wear a wife beater tank to impress people. we don't even own a wife beater tank. do such makes us instant wonder bout why such folks is feeling the need to overcompensate. let russia and france and north korea do their military parades. is cute and sad to watch 'em flex. the US don't need to try and impress. 2) seems to be missing the spirit o' the typical 4th o' july celebration in spite o' all the flags on display, 4th o' july has always been, for us, a family celebration. am not certain we can fully express just how militant anti-american is a few in our family. nevertheless, in spite o' political differences, our family put such aside on the 4th o' july... mostly put aside. is one o' the few days o' the year when the military folks in our family and the wannabee revolutionaries may get together for a pickup game o' basketball or maybe softball and then enjoy food and fireworks late into the eve. is an unspoken détente observed. bring in tanks and other military stuff don't necessarily mesh with the family atmosphere we hope continues. 3) trump being trump am not able to recollect in our lifetime a President appropriating the 4th o' july for political agenda. 1987, reagan did a speech from jefferson memorial on july 3rd, and he were criticized for doing so. perhaps were karma that the day were frightful hot and the assembled politicians, having removed their jackets, were nevertheless sweating something fierce as they endured a sweltering +20 minute speech. am recalling how at the time we thought it were criminal to have the colorguard, standing immediate behind the President, remain motionless and endure the heat in their full uniform for duration o' the event. nevertheless, 'cause trump wants to inject himself into an event which has been apolitical for as long as we may remember, we are now having military hardware added as props. his speech is functional a campaign rally for trump, but 'cause it is part o' the existing 4th o' july celebration, he is gonna bill the american people for the added expense o' altered security and tanks, planes and lord only knows what else. but what could go wrong? 4th is on a thursday and many people taking off friday. add in relative low gas prices and am expecting dc beltway will be a mess. hot, extreme humid humid and wet conditions for dc. major changes to what has been an established event for years necessitating unforseen security and public transportation alterations. plus there is anticipation o' considerable protests occurring simultaneous with trump's celebration o' trump. so again, what could go wrong? the park service people ultimate running the show is professionals and we expect they will able to handle the unusual nonsense added to 2019's 4th celebration. even so, we didn't see the need to 'fix' something which weren't broken. has been an apolitical event celebrating family and patriotism for as long as we recollect. am not seeing how tanks make better. trump wants tanks at a trump rally? let him pay. heck, he still owes dc millions for his part o' the 2017 inauguration event. HA! Good Fun!

@Powerotti anything x/monk can kill doru with essence interruptor. You need effigy husk(preventing healing), laughingstock cap (- 10 def), revku cape, cpt upright belt (immu push/pull) and all ranged acc gear you can get. Maybe Grog for a pet too. Enduring dance is enough to spam dichotomus soul and they will keep him busy and debuff him just by presence(they have same items as you). But it's an hour taken out of life

The fight on video is basically totally played by AI. Auto attacks are result of reduced recovery bonus stack. The FF ability can be used only when not afflicted by forbiden curse (so every 2,8sec) and AI fills the space with other activities. Silly usage of Sworn Rival is also fault of the AI, that can't be improved. It cast SR on everyone, and block resouces, or cast it in time intervals. If AI could cast it only when previously afflicted enemy is killed, it woud be optimal solution. Flames of devotion is used only for 10% lash, every 20something seconds. FF deals more damage anyway. I tried Doru, but it's not possible to kill him solo in any resonable time period. Too low damage, too low acc for weakening him with his fortitude, and he heals himself. But with some team assist you can easily facetank him forever. Every "normal" fight i've tried is doable solo, but sometimes i had to use my own brain and meange some things manually, not just turn AI on and watch. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vLa40wnhebMr0EgnhtPkeZaq45YAixzI/view?usp=sharing As for vithracks fight, you have to kill first luminaire as fast as possible, then use instruments of pain or flagellant's path and FF (interupts on hit), when he starts summoning weapons, to prevent it. Then kill him too. Rest of the fight is like walk in the park. If they'll be able to summon weapons you are screwed.

Larian specified that they'll be using a camera like in the Original Sin series: it can be either top down or third person.

Double posting... because the quote function is just being obnoxious, sorry guys. I got an email a few months ago on a yahoo mail address that I have, with an old password of mine in the subject line. Somebody claiming to have hacked my pc, huh, you recognize this password, right? rather smug sounding. We have had control of your pc and web cam for a while and filmed you and what you were doing while watching porn sites. Pay $1800 to this bit coin recipient (some info) or we'll share the videos with all your friends Yeah, laughing, because one, the password hadn't been used for 6-7 years and second, I don't really waste time on porn sites, so I knew right away it was all made up. Probably based on some probability stuff that x percent of the population does what they claim and somebody might feel it applied to them specifically. Email lasted for about 60 seconds while I pondered if it was worth handing out to the police, but I decided that would be a waste of both my time and their time (they would most likely just tell me to delete it and forget it). The scary bit is, I can see how someone could fall for a scammer like that in a moment of panic. Also worrying that some old website/webstore somewhere lost it's user data somehow (which is why I use disposable email addresses and passwords these days for stuff that is requiring an address to sign up).

Yeah, I highly doubt that they'd do anything other than isometric but if they did then that'd kill any interest I currently have.

With a public holiday today this was a weekend full of indulgence. Or, in other words, unhealthy food for the win: Well and some take-out ribs from out local Italian place. Might sound weird, but they make them like pizza by throwing the ribs into the oven and burn them to a cinder. Well, kind of. 300+ degrees for a few minutes make them blackend on the outside and super juicy inside. Then they get a bit of sauce on top (a hot one in this case). Compared to the usual way of doing them with extended low temperature they stay a good deal chewier, and obviously there's no smoky flavor but it's full of pure Maillard bliss. Honestly, biting into these is as close to a tastegasm as you can come.

Agree with pretty much all that's already been said. I would add that multiclassing is probably my most favorite change. And yeah, ship combat is not my thing (though the ship as my home base is great).
