One thing that gets me is the whole declaration of "Off World Activation!" Of course it is off world. Why do they need to declare it every single time the gate activates?
I just think it is kind of sick that Xard is laughing at a kid's death. He must think the commercials showing starving children in Africa downright hilarious.
What? Wanting to be able to make one's own character in a CRPG is being superficial? Gee... I guess I have been superficial these last 25 years playing role playing games! Lets go tell WotC they are doing it wrong. They should go force everyone play Elminster or something.
It is a question of being able to create your own character, to be able to have a measure of control and ownership that draws you into the game. That is why I like Fallout over PST. I will probably be choosing ME over this game.
