No of course your right. Trying to have a character in your mind when your playing a game like this is all about trying to compartmentalize the bits that dont work with your vision of the character. And in many cases (at least for my character) there is something that is close enough to what you want to achieve. The less bits that are completely at odds with your character the better (and having to pick up this gangbanger certainly is one of those). I'd say the problem is that BioWare created an undefined predefined character. The appeal of a predefined character like JC Denton or Geralt is that you don't have to have the same generic and bland personality and options that dominate more open-ended RPGs. Two of the most interesting scenes in the Witcher for me was when Geralt goes drinking with his dwarf friend and they talk about romance, and when Geralt expresses his frustration and feelings of helplessness that he's a monster hunter in a world where the worst monsters aren't lurking in crypts and swamps waiting to be slaughtered. Both of them rely on the developers sitting down and saying 'this is how Geralt is,' which is something BioWare will not do. Instead we end up with a predefined character whose only traits are a vaguely

Muscular women are hot. They're easier so you have to do more of them to get similar results. They're not as impressive as regular push-ups, and your knees can get burned as there's nothing covering them. It's only bad for your back if you let your spine sag. Proper positioning and it's not different from a regular push-up.

It reminds me of prince of persia in that regard. However, I've reached the end and am going map to map picking up the riddler's trophies and I noticed that my grizzled, torn up Batman looks fresh and new in the cinematic leading to the Batcave.

Doesn't Nestle own about five hundred different brands now? They're like the AOL/TimeWarner of foods.

Okay. I got that one. I guess now Maria really doesn't have a leg to stand on. Howso?

My mother bought me the leather bound The Complete Frank Miller Batman when I was a wee snot. I thought Miller was the best thing that had ever happened to comics. Here I am, the tail end of 2009, and he hasn't created anything good for a decade. Frank Miller, what happed to you?

I'm trying to figure out if you're being serious or not. I'm leaning on the side of not.

The majority of BioWare characters don't suck. The characters might not get as much time as I'd like (NWN OC or ME) but the characters themselves don't suck.

Yes x 10. I know they have dedicated webmasters. I know they have skilled programmers. But I wouldn't know this by just looking at the website.

That reminds me. I need to play some WoW.

I'm guessing there must be something more to this story. One librarian misunderstanding the rules is one then, but then she went to a bunch of other libraries and they also said no? I best she comes off as scary/crazy in person. Also, Walsingham. A dress maker's shears are made to cut cloth. They tend to be heavy duty and it's important to keep them sharp. Most dressmakers I know wouldn't use them to cut paper. Krezack obviously need to be disarmed.

The original Neverwinter Nights on AOL was an MMO. When BioWare built the Neverwinter Nights game, it had both a single player and a multi-player component, but it

Of course, the character would fit way better into Fallout universe... its like female Sulik who does drugs. How does she not fit into the ME universe? Yes, but I’ve spent my time on political forums. First, it’s eight years of BUSH HATES FREEDOM and now it’ll be four years of OBAMA HATES FREEDOM.

At this point, I believe half the characters are paragons and half renegade. Miranda, Jacob, and Tali - Paragons Subject Zero, Thane, and Grunt - Renegade. Then again, Mr. Lee described Thane as paragon so... I bet many of the people who dislike SZ would find her a great character if she appeared in Fallout: New Vegas.

This is an exercise thread. By definition, some guy has to tell another guy how what he's doing is wrong.

In casual conversation, communism and socialism mean anything that's not laissez-faire capitalism among private interests. Edit: To date, $915.1 billion dollars have been allocated to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This hasn't raised anyone's income tax because most of the money exists in the form of national debt. Right China, Japan, and Persian Gulf oil exporters are the three top foreign holders of U.S. debt. Anyone who says that the war hasn't raised their taxes and so is fine is being fairly short sighted.

I'll point out that no one has said this. One guy said that he was canceling his pre-order but still intended to get this. A few have said the graphics might not be a nice compared to other 2010 releases. Personally, I don

Dragon Age ws delayed from Feb to Nov, and it's hard to deny how much better it looks, as well as the 50 odd more quests they were able to ship the game with. Delaying it twice for 8 months each time... I wish the developers would actually talk to us.

Batman: Arkham Asylum I disagree it's metagaming; metagaming is when information the character does not have influences the character's action. For instance, in ME1, I might pick paragon options during a conversation because I know that I can

I think the confirmed squad mates so far are: 1.Tali 2.Jacob 3.Miranda 4.Thane 5.Grunt 6.Subject Zero 7.Salarian Scientist (?) 8.Geth (?) 9. ??? 10. ??? Jerret Lee said on the Subject Zero thread: 'Yep, there are 10 potential squad mates to recruit from around the galaxy to take on your mission. The more you take, and the more loyal you make them, the better your odds of survival.' Strange, she looks 'romancable' in the video.

She's bald and therefore awesome. That said, a female character who's in your face, crude, and aggressive, isn't pretty or sexy in the conventional sense, and who's been around the block. I

It's a good book in a good trilogy, but when you come to the end you'll realize the second book is 80% superfluous.

Yes. The gay slang dictionary just has slang that's popular in the gay culture; it's not gay exclusive.

Mass Effect. I'm going through the various systems collecting stuff and killing people because they start firing as soon as I'm in sight. I've had a few difficult fights. Mostly against mercenaries with immunity who quickly shoot down Liara and Tali. I don
