  1. 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.
  2. Whoa... you can't remap the keys in DA:I? How much keyboard interaction does it need. DA:O was largely mouse controlled.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. KOTOR 2 would have been a lot better if it had been finished and all the content cut for time were added in.
  6. Ahhh, THAC0. That brings back memories.
  7. 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.
  8. 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."
  9. Yeah, I found him less objectionable than most of them.
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. Fixed it for you. Nuff said!
  13. Libertarian-Socialist. Now THATS a contradiction!
  14. Isn't Socialist and Anti-Government a contradiction?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. Now THATS funny!
  19. Just when you think things can't sink lower, they do
  20. I found my Morrowind problem. I'm using a wireless mouse & number keypad for the controls. They both work fine on Oblivion & Skyrim. Morrowind does not like them. I plugged in a wired USB mouse and the problem is gone.
  21. Well, here's a new twist... fist fights over Michael Brown merchandise. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/11/26/Michael-Brown-s-Mother-Step-Father-Under-Investigation-For-Violent-Confrontation-Over-Justice-For-Mike-Brown-Merchandise
  22. Oh I've said there will be another civil war in the US. All the ingredients are there. I don't know how the lines will break out or how far in the future it is... but it's coming. Not for a long time I think, but it's coming. If Stiglitz is right, and he's been doing political economy for a long time, the top 1% (irrespective of party allegiance since they effectively control both) have been squeezing the system for all its worth for the past 30+ years. The middle class has lost the most, but everyone has lost something barring those at the very top who've increased their income many times over. As a rule, things take a drastic turn for the worse at the point where it doesn't make any difference whether a person will die due to starvation or to being shot. On one hand, the US is far off from that point due to cheap food and the availability of basic sustenance with any paying job, on the other, the 21st century individual has higher basic demands than a 19th century worker. "Clothes on your back, bread on the table and a roof over your head" don't really cut it anymore. One thing is for sure, as long as neo-liberal dogma is controlling the distribution of wealth policy and allowing for uncontested accumulation of capital at the top - the part of the cake available to the rest gets smaller and smaller. This is where I could post a wall of text explaining how in the US economy zero sum economics just does not apply. But no one would read it, it's OT anyway, and I just don't have the energy.
  23. Jeez oby who am I supposed to be afraid of here? A few weeks ago you said the jews were running everything. Then it's the guy who lives in the penthouse of the pyramid. The cartoon you posted makes it look like the sleestack from Land of the Lost are the ones to worry about. Heck when I was growing up they told me I had to be afraid of the Russians. I'm confused... who should I be worried about again?
  24. This whole thing is just asinine. Gorgon tells me that Namutree has done an injustice to me and mine. He didn't really but I trust Gorgon so I refuse to believe Malcador when he tells me Namutree is innocent. I get so mad I go and burn down Drowsy Emperor's house. Even though he's my neighbor and I know he has nothing to do with it. Gorgon then goes out and tells all the other's my anger is understandable. Who's really at fault here? If it's Gorgon what does that say about me because I'm stupid enough to a) be manipulated in that way & b) take it out on someone I know is innocent. The truth is I'm the only one at fault in this scenario.
  25. Nah, just poking at DE
