Small features that would be nice to have
Yeah I think we are well past the point of big changes

5-dimensional political test
So... what I'm seeing here is there are a lot of folks here who really don't like freedom. Not really. They like a government who tells them what to do and how to do it. To each their own I guess. I can't really see it myself but to each their own.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
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

Not encouraged
eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate. Think Master of Orion 2, Alpha Centauri, any Civ or even TW game

USA Mid-Term Election Results
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.

5-dimensional political test
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.

Let's Play: The Pools Saga (SSI Gold Box classics)
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,

5-dimensional political test
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.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
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.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Whoa... you can't remap the keys in DA:I? How much keyboard interaction does it need. DA:O was largely mouse controlled.

Which game hook brought you to Project Eternity and interests you the most?
I just wanted to see what the Obsidian guys could do with making their own intellectual property. I suspect it's going to be great. Plus I like IE games. It just works really well on a PC. so much better than a bastardized console interface.

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

Ahhh, THAC0. That brings back memories.

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.

5-dimensional political test
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."

What you did today
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.

5-dimensional political test
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?

5-dimensional political test
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.
