Well, I don't know how they look "in game" but a dragon the size of the ones in the trailer and concept art wouldn't be able to support it's own weight in normal gravity. There is a good reason why blue whales live in the ocean. You have to be able to suspend disbelief on more than just the story in fantasy RPGs. Or books... or movies

eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate. Think Master of Orion 2, Alpha Centauri, any Civ or even TW game -
There is an old saying "Don't ever let the perfect become the enemy of the good". Of all the Republicans he is the most libertarian of the lot. And any Republican is preferable to any democrat. At least of any democrat likely to be nominated.

These tests have about as much merit as your average 'purity test'. They're limited by the box the designer(s) of the test think in, and I've yet to see one that isn't done in the context of the indoctrinated perceptions of mass media and bought propaganda. Generally it's a polarized box, and thus generally serves to polarize. For anyone with a working brain the majority of the questions are not black and white issues, nor yes/no/maybes. Nor does a 'maybe' make you a 'centrist'. The issues they touch on more often than not have a great deal more complexity than the question encompasses, and/or they simply rely on a false perception that's perpetrated in the mass media that makes the question foundationless, irrational, or unreasonable in an informed and truly thinking mind. Well, these really are for entertainment purposes only. If anyone needs a quiz to tell them who they should vote for they really should do the world a favor and stay home on election day.

On isidewith.com I got: 90% Libertarians 88% Constitution Party 86% Conservative Party 80% Republicans 39% Democrats 24% Green Party 10% Socialist I wonder what question I aligned with the socialists on? I must have clicked that one wrong.

Let's Play: The Pools Saga (SSI Gold Box classics)
Guard Dog replied to Endrosz's topic in Computer and Console
Well, as far as roleplaying goes these were the only games around back in the day, It wasn't like there was a lot to compare them to, -
On www.isidewith.com I got: 89% Democrat 87% Green 68% Socialist 59% Libertarian 25% Constitution 21% Conservative 18% Republican I suppose I really shouldn't vote Republican ever. You live in California. You might as well spit on a wildfire as vote for a Republican for all the good it will do there.

Having done it both ways I found the DA:A story makes more sense with a new character. I guess the PC was supposed to be the one to do the deed at the end of DA:O according to their canon. It seems to me there are more conversational element if the DA:A Warden is a new character.
-
Whoa... you can't remap the keys in DA:I? How much keyboard interaction does it need. DA:O was largely mouse controlled.

Trying to post a link to that great line at the end of Lost Boys... link doesn't work right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q_Na5Ou5Rs

KOTOR 2 would have been a lot better if it had been finished and all the content cut for time were added in.

My favorite was Dungeon Hack. I loved that game. But if you were not playing a Cleric it was more than a little tough to beat. -
Nope. The word "libertarian" actually originates with a socialist when he was describing himself. To quote Abraham Lincoln "How many legs does a dog have if you call it's tail a leg? Four, calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one."
-
Yeah, I found him less objectionable than most of them.

Slipped on the ice on the front porch this morning. Busted my butt on the ground and I think pulled a muscle in my back. I was going to get some work done today. Not looking likely now.

So far except Shady & Leferd all the Americans who have taken it have rung the libertarian or ant-government bell on at least one part of the test. It will be interesting to see if that trend continues. Maybe there is hope for us yet!
-
Fixed it for you. Nuff said!
-
Libertarian-Socialist. Now THATS a contradiction!
-
Isn't Socialist and Anti-Government a contradiction?
-
How did a libertarian get a 0 on liberalism? Well, as Gorgon put it, there are a lot of questions where yes or no make poor answers. There is a lot of "It depends" in those questions. I like this survey better:http://www.isidewith.com/ if you click "choose another stance" they give you all the "it depends" options and does a fair job of tallying them. The only problem is it is very US centric so the folks in Europe might not find it that interesting.

You are a: Objectivist Libertarian Total-Isolationist Cosmopolitan Moderate Collectivism score: -100% Authoritarianism score: -67% Internationalism score: -100% Tribalism score: -17% Liberalism score: 0% Now that's a mouthful.

Forget it Dark_Ansem, you're in over your head with Volo. He will always have a comeback and it will always be better than what you posted. Even I don't argue with that one... anymore at least. FACT
