I think Sawyer is a good designer, possibly even a great one but I think we just have a fundamental difference of opinion on some things, balance and magic/wizards specifically. I'd like to see what he can do with another setting where I have less strong feelings about certain particulars like sci-fi or modern day something or other. I'm still looking forward to PoE even though I may end up playing on easy or cheating just to get the combat over with but that's not poor design as much as it's just not my preference. All my concerns may even turn out to be nothing by the time the game releases but either way I wish Sawyer and Obsidian nothing but success and will once again likely be first in line to back whatever they have planned next

Take care Nep

Welcome back LC!

Regarding the more reserved reviews, I think it's more likely they are trying to get out in front of the controversy this time around. They don't want to be overly negative just in case there is no DA2/ME3 torches and pitchforks but at the same time they want to hedge their bets just in case the anti-Bioware brigade does come out in full force Or maybe not. We'll find out next week EDIT- that was my 1000th post and it only took me 9 years. I kinda wish I had been sober and the post had been more profound.

Hot chocolate with a toasted jumbo marshmallow and Baileys for me and the missus Mine has a shot of Jameson in it as well

I thought we were just posting random stuff and conspiracy theories my bad

"His grin was a defense against tears, of course, as with most chronic American smilers."

I'm pretty sure I've changed it before even though I don't remember it as ever being anything else. But considering I took that picture like 4 years ago at a chalk art festival and I've been hanging out around here for... holy crap... 9 years! ... Where was I? Ahh yes, I'm pretty sure I've changed it about 4 or 5 times now

Last day of work before a two week vacation. Not doing anything next week but the week after I'm going to head back to good ole southern AZ for some real life Wasteland action. We have an electric (boogie woogie woogie) fireplace and we love it. It has a heating element that we never use but it does all sorts of neat flames and can even make a crackling fire sound EDIT: Also trying to plan a trip to see the wife's side of the family around New Years but they are spread out over the Baltic states and Ukraine and Russia. Problem is we don't have much time to get visas and her family in Russia doesn't want to come into the EU because I guess they are having a really ****ty exchange rate at the moment. And nobody wants to go to Ukraine. This trip may have to wait until next year

Boneless???? Bruce, I am disappoint

Made 3 batches of chicken wings Sweet chili and garlic Italian Sriracha

Well, one thing is for sure Obsidian games attract the most interesting people

I took all of next week off for this* Me too, man. Me too. *I had a bunch of days I had to use or lose by the end of the year and I was already taking Friday off

Congrats Nep!

Right, we might as well just vote for parties instead of individuals since it seems like that's what most people do anyway

Poor Mrs Claus

I'd probably stick with it if it didn't have the limited actions but I'd rather just grind it out and go through the story one time than wait 20 minutes to get 1 action back or pay money for something I'm not crazy about. I'm not interesting in stretching it out.

LOTRO Rolled up a new Beorning class/race and it's interesting but not sure I want to play through the whole 100 levels again because I'm a completionist and this game is seriously grindy

Grand Budapest Hotel I really enjoyed its humor but my wife slightly less so
