What skills and languages would you recommend? Interface design would be at the top of my list as that is your customer's (players) portal into your game. What else and why?

No More like ancient Babylon...how much of that exists? The Hanging Gardens for example are long gone Didn't Babylon leave some archeological evidence that it existed? If so, even there are only stories about the Gardens, I would place them in the "probably real" category. If there is no tangible evidence of Babylon's existance, then the Gardens go into my "probably myth" category along with Atlantis. YMMVI have always wondered what the gardens must have looked like ? They definitely were real at some time in historyThere is tangible evidence they existed? Not as far as I know but they mentioned in ancient texts and manuscripts?Then I maintain they only probably existed. Ancient texts, mauscripts, pottery, and scrolls are subject to the human that wrote them's interpretations, beliefs, and intent.

I attempted a recharge and failed by 1. Never got a chance to bury the Luckstone. It's happened twice. The luckstone recharge works like any other card. The luckstone you are recharging does not get a chance to add 1 to your roll. The only time you get the option to bury your luckstone is when you fail a check by 1 with the luckstone in hand. When that happens you get the opportunity to bury the luckstone to suceed in your check.

Volo there is no need for personal attacks against any member, I have been saying that for ages You can have a debate with someone without being personal, I can promise you it can be done Good point, Bruce. I apologize to anyone I may have offended with my recent posts. I apologize directly to Volo and KP if you found my posts to be childish or taken as personal attacks. I do make hypocritical statements at times. That's because I am a flawed human. Peace guys.

Meshugger, I have no idea why people like him. I was merely answering a question you asked. That was what my retort was about. Your argument is missing an important part of the whole picture, namely why people are drawn to him to begin with. I disagree Meshugger. My point wasn't why people like him, but why people should not like him. Is that argument necessarily fallacious if I don't include why people like him? I don't think so. Additionally, I would not attempt to read peoples minds to be able to tell you why they like him because that would be witchcraft and I think they still burn witches in California

My comment should not be construed as anything other than a repudiation of Robert Kagan's eliteist snobbery in that op-ed Bruce linkedWe should know by now almost all of Bruce's arguments are as full of **** as a toilet after eating taco bell. Geez KP. What's with the personal venom? It's time for you to either grow up, or take your ball and go home. I see no need for persoal attacks here where it is easy to be a coward and hide behind the anonimity of the web. It is time to put away your childish behavior and become an adult. If that's gonna shock you then you should probably stay off the internet or unclench. Babies playing on the web won't chase me away. Doo dah, doo dah. The can cry in their beer all night long or all the live long day. -- sung to the toon of camptown racers!

You have lost any respect I had for you. Sad little boy. I called no one any names nor made any personal attacks, if you actually READ what I wrote. I admonished KP to please not call people names, but the rest was all general and aimed at the sad little boys like you, evidently. Call me a Hippogriff if you must, but Hiphopcrisy is some of the best music playing

Guys, guys, guys! The ego's are starting to run a bit hot in here. Everyone please take a step back and realize you are not going to convince anyone of much of anything, because we are all just throwing our ego's around. Normally I find spirited discussions and stinging jabs to be a fun past time. But when it elevates out of control, it is no longer fun. I'm not going to visit this WoT thread for a few days. If you are still all running super hot, then I can always find my fun on other forums. This particular site enticed me because of the level of intelligence of it's members. So please guys, take a breath or a cold shower and lets get back to intelligent comments without all the egos. OK?

"Trust in handle immigration": Clinton 50% - Trump 44% Tehehehe. What exactly do you mean? How? Where to begin? How 'bout with the Mexico wall. I don't care how high you build a wall, people will get over it. The shear expense of building it could bankrupt our society while Trumps buddies collect millions from the contracts to build it. Next, Trump has FAILED at every business he has tried. He is still worth approximately what he inherited from Daddy. Such a record of failure gives me every reason to believe he will destroy the US economy. If you watch his interviews, he appears to me to be a very ignorant, or perhaps insane, man. That's already enough to scare the 'whatever' out of me. I watched an interview with him where the interviewer asked him what he thought about being endorsed by David Duke (Grand Dragon Emeritus of the KKK). Trump kept responding that he didn't know the man and has never done business with him. What difference does that make? If Trump is a closet Ayrian, that could destroy the USA. And having the "football" in his possession scares me to no end. He could, without authorization from anyone, launch a nuclear attack against any country, even Arizona (small chuckle). He would need to get us to def con 5 first, but that doesn't take much.

I honestly fail to see how Confucius would be relevant to anybody in the western world, and I'm one of those people who read not only him, but also a sizeable chunk of the commentary and related works written by his most prominent students. I must agree that Confucius is no longer relevant to Western Societies, but is he still relevant to Eastern Societies? The only book store in walking distance when I was growing up was one that carried only books on Philosophy. I started reading Descartes When I was 8 and have read most of the published writings of everyone listed with the exception of St. Thomas Aquinas. I also feel that Nietzsche. Whether you appreciate him or not, he definitely contributed a lot to Western societies. I object to including the Bible as necessary to understand Western authors and Western Society. It is, imo, pure fiction. I have read most of it because Christianity is so prevalent here. I am not at all sure that Jesus actually existed. I think he was a fictional character constructed to teach the "new" Christian values in the New Testament. That said, I do believe in the Gods, all of them. There is no one true God. How could there possibly be just one? What about life on Planet 10 in the Eighth dimension? Surely they worship their own Gods. Yes my example is facetious but it makes the point. We don't know if there are other planets with intelligent life on them, but if there are I doubt they would be Christians. Robert L. Forward even postulated the possibility of intelligent life on a Neutron Star in his first novel, The Dragon's Egg. For clarification, I am a Buddhist. I have studied religions of all sorts, including Mysticism and Shintoism as well as many others. The only one that makes sense to me is Buddhism, but I don't think it is really a religion. It is much more a path that one walks. For reference (I don't want to be thought of as being ancient LOL) I am 16. You're still young, but do read Thomas Aquinas, it will give you the necessary understanding on why the Bible is an important part of Western culture. I also recommend to read about Faust. I have read about Faust and about Dante's nine circles of Hell as well as other similar books.I have read parts of Aquinas, but would counter that the bible is only relevant if you are reading Aquinas or other Christian authors. I think the Bible is only necessary if you wish to read more about Christianity which has long been the prevalent Western religion. Yes I am young, but I am more well read than most people regardless of their age. In addition to reading the authors I talked about above, I have read Bertrand Russell, Ayn Rand, Robert Pirsig, Carlos Castaneda, Hunter S. Thompson, and Douglas Hofstadter to name a few. I read my first philosophy book (Kierkegaard's Either Or) at the age of 8. I do not believe I needed to know the bible to understand any of those authors with the exception of the ones writing about Christian beliefs. People often judge me because of my age, but I am more mature than most 25 year olds, and fairly intelligent as well You're halfway there. To build up understanding requires times and wisdom, which comes with age no matter how you do it. Simply put, what i am talking about is the perspective to connect the dots. I recommend travelling to Europe and witness the classical arts and architecture in first hand and try to make friends with the locals, then you will notice how intervowen the stories and ethos in the Bible are to everyday society and interaction. Only young people care about their age and how mature they percieve to be to others (well, except for Bruce), you'll understand later. It's not an insult, i would be more worried if you weren't. That being said, you have an inquiring mind and a seeker of knowledge. Don't ever stop doing that. I politely disagree. Perhaps you needed age and wisdom to be able to connect the dots, I already connect them quite well thank you.Have you been a Christian your entire life? Or have you experienced other religions? Have you traveled to Europe? Give an example of how the archetecture is interwoven with the bible ethos. In your opinion, the stories and ethos of the bible are more interwoven in Europe than here? Perhaps, sans England. In my opinion, most Christians here have not read the bible. They can quote the parts that have been feed to them, along with the interpretation that was fed to them, but very few have read the bible. Where were you born? Where do you ive? Just respond with "Europe" or "US" please. I don't want to be responsible for any phishing. I was born in Europe and live in the US. You should disagree, otherwise you would have the soul of an old git, which is quite detriment to a life of a teenager. I am raised Lutheran but I live an agnostic life, however i acknowledge the importance of religion is in a culture, as there are none and there hasn't ever been any great civilization without a founding religion. I am from northern Europe and i have travelled most of Europe (except for those areas where it expected to bribe the cops), some of Middle East and i have been the US twice (been in more than 20 states) and Canada. I can give the stories and i have heard or art i have seen in Vienna or a remote village in the mountains of Slovenia, but i find it more important that you experience that yourself in order to form your own opinion on if things, as i can assure you that it's quite a bore to lay down the metrics on cultural familiarity and build a thesis from it and having to read it. Exploring it yourself is much more rewarding. You'll get it in due time. I did not realize that all civilizations are based on a founding religion. I will look into that. I was born in Paris but my family moved to the US when I was 3. I only have scattered bits and pieces of memory of Paris. My goal is to get my PhD in Quantum Mechanics from Cal Tech and then get a job with the ESA, exploring ways to improve communication and travel times for deep space exploration. I would apply at NASA, but they are a space agency in name only these days. They are still working on unmanned exploration of our solar system, but naught else.

You won't be missed. Silly Namutree.You won't be rid of me, Europe has had the internet since at least 2010 LOL. I don't mind you being here on the forum. Just please do as you said you would and leave the country after Trump wins. Why would you want people to leave the USA if Trump wins? Its like you daring people to "do what they say " ? I would imagine its better to reconcile the various political differences these elections have created? A lot of people fear that if Trump is elected that the USA will collapse, and that could get real ugly real fast. Unfortunately I am not in control of where I live for the next two years. I doubt my Probation Officer would let me leave the country when she won;t even let me leave the county I live in without written permission from her.

You won't be missed. Silly Namutree.You won't be rid of me, Europe has had the internet since at least 2010 LOL.

All I can say is that if Trump wins the Presidency, I will move back to Europe years earlier than I had planned too. The man is a loony!

Thanks, I finally read the entire post. See my edited version! LOL

I don't have the boxed game and I cannot find anything in the rules or tutorial that tells me when a card is common, uncommon, rare, epic, or legendary. Help. Never mind! I am an idiot!

I hope the holes are plugged before release of the multiplayer mode. I find that different game companies consider different things to be cheating. I generally avoid them all, however, it would help me, and the other players, if Obsdian would publish a list of the various actions they consider cheating. Let me give one example of differences between games/companies. Most games/companies consider having muliple characters cheating. Book of Hero's not only allows it, they encourage it. They allow up to 5 characters per email login, and as many email logins as you wish. I met players there with 25 or more characters. One runs a guild with only his characters in it. LOL

Me too. Love it.

Wow Rayex! That took some work! I love the spreadsheet. Great accumulation of info and well presented. Awesome job! I am an excel freak! LOL. Thanks much!

Thanks kgk4569. However, I prefer to play the intended game and view exploiting bugs as a form of cheating. Yeah, even in a single player game. But that is just my opinion and my preference. My question becomes, when they implement multiplayer mode, isn't the exploiting of bugs really a form of cheating? And the fact that you got your boons through a bug, exacerbate the problem? I am just asking everyones opinions here. I've already stated mine
