Humans could still circumvent the multiclass be dual classing. That was the main point I was trying to make. Fair enough, but I think the archetypes are still too restrictive, given that the archetypes are just formed by stories that people weave. I think it becomes a circle, where AD&D has no gnomish mages because they don't exist. Yet they can't exist because AD&D has no gnomish mages, so you'd have to bend the rules (at which point I would consider AD&D to no longer be truly used anymore).

When the minority wants help defending itself, or even just lets it be known that the a gesture is offensive, the I have zero problem with other people defending them. I hate the crusaders that think the minorities need defending when the minority itself doesn't care about the issue at hand.

What's the point of ignoring the rest of my post to comment on just that? I added it because I'm well aware of what Messier brings to the table, given that I've seen him do it for his entire career.

My roommate really enjoyed Oz.

I'm joking <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It wasn't just you.

If you wanted to restrict the colour to the appropriate class, it'd make more sense to just say "Consular Only" in the item description for a green crystal. In any case I think it's silly. Colour is colour. There's no indication that colour conveyed any sort of difference in the movies, or any thing of the like.

Sounds like Radiant's gonna need a heavily dynamic distribution functions to determine the appropriate actions. Multiplied by I would imagine quite a large number of in game characters that will utilize it. Constantly updating the statistical methods of decision making for many, many characters....sounds expensive.

Bwhahahahhahahhaa Thanks RolePlayer

http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000180051299/ I won't being to rant on what I feel about the ratings system as it is, but I guess if you can download a mod and make pr0n out of a game, it'll get Adults Only.

How is the radiant AI system supposed to work?

Obiwan is dead and Luke is missing a hand. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah yes, I forgot about the hand. And as for dead...meh, so is a lot of ppl.

Hehehe point taken Craig MacTavish was insane...dude played without a helmet up into the mid-90s

A new update has been posted at IGN. It mentions a February 7th, 2006 release date, and has a 2 minute trailer. It's a neat trailer, and I can't help but be reminded how much I love the John Williams Score.

Do you not have an Internet connection? With Half-Life 2, the Internet Connection is only required the enable the game. You can set it to "play offline" mode.

Obi-Wan and Luke don't have any scars :D

A thread that is a horrifying testament to the wierd sexual fantasies people have towards video game characters

Hehehe

But then you'll get the babies that disagree with some sort of interpretation, about how Luke used a green saber but was probably more Guardian than anything else. And you'd also get lightsiders using Red Crystals just because it gives them more strength.

Nah. I don't lose my lunch when I play Jedi Academy or when I watch Star Wars movies. I doubt it'd be dismemberment to the point of Monty Python blood. But even still I didn't lose my lunch when watching Kill Bill. Nor do I even lose my lunch when playing games like Resident Evil or Clive: Barker's undying. I don't lose my lunch when watching Jason go nuts in Friday the 13th movies. But I digress.

I'm blaming both. But jerks prey on the sensitivities of others, and they aren't going to stop, because they are psychologically reinforced, via classical operant conditioning, to continue doing it, given they get pleasure from bugging the piss out of others. It gets the point where you can't say anything without pissing someone off. And once you cater to the "victim," then other "victims" that weren't catered to get upset and press for their own voices to be heard. Admittedly, I speak as a white male, so I haven't experienced large scale oppression. I do however feel sympathy to the institutional prejudices that exist in North America, and I can understand the merits of various affirmative action plans, as well as understand specifically what they are trying to accomplish. I'm not asking for the sensitive to mask their sensitivities. I'm asking for them to not be stupid with their sensitivites. The biggest group that pisses me off are those that "champion" the sensitivities of others. For instance there was a hockey dispute where Don Cherry said "The only people that use visors are Europeans and the French." However, many MANY people, that do not qualify as Europeans nor French [Canadian] cried out to "protect" some people that didn't even need protecting. Ironically, upon further analysis, it turned out that Don Cherry was correct...the majority of people that wear visors were in fact European players and French players. I hate it when other people, in their self-righteous journey, come out to protect someone (or some people) that don't need, nor want, protecting. I even remember when my neighbour was complaining about our busride home, which required about a 5 minute walk home for me (and about a 1 minute walk home for her). However, her "support" for her complaint was "Think about Allan, he has to walk so far" when in fact I didn't mind the walk. Crap like that pissed me off too! Anyways, enough ranting for now.

Errr, where did he deviate from it? I guess he made the movie analogy, but it was an analogy to video games. According to who? Even the links to the US Department of Justice indicated crime was dropping. Unfortunately they only go to 2003, so where can I find information that says otherwise?

I don't think they should give bonuses. They're just a colour. It's not like you really need MORE bonuses in a game like KOTOR anyways.

I'm not sure how the dismemberment would work, as you don't have direct control over where your character attacks. It would probably make the overly sensitive and protective mommies (and religious fanatical activists) cry out about how this game will turn little Billy into a monster!

However, I feel that the "jerks" prey on people's sensitivities. If you're not so sensitive, the jerks don't bother you :D

The biggest effect would probably be loading times, since that's when a lot of information would need to get swapped in and out of memory. Even then, the game shouldn't necessarily run badly (assuming a good CPU and Video Card), unless it actually exceeds the amount of available memory while within a particular level and you have to go into virtual memory. And even then, it's possible to streamline the memory by making sure that the most important and frequently used calls remain in memory (or better yet cache, although cache isn't very big) so as to minimize the extent that you have to dive into virtual memory.
