No, it was clearly presented as a hypothetical example.

He wasn't legitimately asking if two men can have sex, so answering as if he had been asking that question was a weird response, hope that helps.

Replies that I counted as 'disagree': "I don't think so, bub." "No thanks." And the one that you responded to saying that the majority of people agreed with you. As God is my witness, you will one day learn to read.

FACT CHECK ONE IN FAVOUR ONE AGAINST "InsaneCommander" post="2115750" timestamp="1542637642"] Ok, but at least let the npcs make an attempt: AND THERE WAS A VIDEO HERE ONE ABSTAIN, A CLEAR EXCUSE FOR A JOKE DON'T YOU EVEN TRY TO CLAIM THIS AS A VOTE IN FAVOUR "kirottu" What if all the female aliens had big boobs and tails? Then it would be just criminal if we didn't get to romance them. TWO ABSTAIN "Enoch"Bad form to write a thread title as a declaration (or exclamation!) when it's really a request. THREE ABSTAIN "Triple - A Foxy Lad" Id just replay ME2 tbh - or one of the KOTORs. Maybe even nier automata? Or however u spell that game. Horizon zero dawn possibly? no romances? Cant approve of a big flashy space opera with no necking. But thats me. Dont have any great objection to what u detail but u could prob find comparable out there. Also am unsure if obs are the best candidates to make such. Theres prob some jrpg out there like u describe but im behind the times there bruv. I WILL CHARITABLY COUNT THIS AS AN ABSTAIN, FOUR ABSTAIN "algroth" To be fair, there's a good chance the Cainarsky is all of these things. FIVE ABSTAIN "majestic" An RPG set in the League of 20000 planets or even only The Cluster would be so awesome. Man... now I want a Lexx game. SIX ABSTAIN "injurai" Pretty sure it will be a Vampire romance puzzle game. SEVEN ABSTAIN "bugarup" They multiply by biting." EIGHT ABSTAIN "evilcat" TPP sure why not, some action elements, ok why not. Could be space. Could be vampires in space. But cant agree on romance ban, games need some love. And what is the point of having alliens if you cant have third grade contanct with them, huh? ONE AMBIVALENT, COULD AT BEST BE SAID TO BE MERELY OK WITH MOST OF THE ELEMENTS, WHILE DISAGREEING WITH ONE OF THEM "InsaneCommander" But what if they are really alien? Not humanoid, with tentacles, oily skin... etc. Star trek characters have got pregnant without even noticing it. And I'm talking about a male character. NINE ABSTAIN WAIT ON COUNTBACK IT'S THE SAME GUY AS BEFORE OK IT'S STILL ONLY EIGHT "Chilloutman" If Japan tought us anything, its that tentacles are not an obstacle but advantage... NINE ABSTAIN, ALSO, GROSS "InsaneCommander" Maybe the Xenomorph or the Predator would be romance options too. STILL ABSTAINING BUT IT'S THE SAME GUY SO COUNT DOESN'T CHANGE OK I'M GONNA JUST SKIP THROUGH THE TENTACLE CHAT TWO AGAINST, ALSO ALPHA PROTOCOL RULES "Boeroer" A MEME DISAGREEING WITH THE ASSERTION THAT YOU SPEAK FOR EVERYONE ANOTHER VOTE CHARITABLY COUNTED AS 'ABSTAIN' FOR TEN "Triple - A Foxy Lad" ye and horizon zero dawn was by new vegas' very own john gonzalez. aint played it myself yet bcs no ps4. oh well. OH IT'S THE SAME PERSON AND ALSO AN ABSTAIN AND ALSO YEAH HZD RULES THREE VOTES AGAINST FACT CHECK COMPLETE, AT TIME OF CLAIMING THAT MOST PEOPLE AGREED WITH YOU, MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T REALLY OFFER A FIRM OPINION, BUT MORE PEOPLE OUTRIGHT DISAGREED THAN AGREED. ALSO I NEUTERED SOME QUOTE BOXES BECAUSE THE FORUMS DIDN'T LIKE HAVING THAT MANY

Yes. Same sex can have sex. Have you heard of gay couples, gay marriages, gay relationships? You may wany to ask that question to the LGBT community but I doubt you will because you know that you will be embaressed. I am not going to tell you how 2 men or women have sex but use your imagination and you may get a glimpse of the reality. Point being that yes, they do, it's just a little different (not to quote Jeanette from VTMR: Bloodlines hehe). This is a super weird response that completely misses the point of the text you're replying to, GJ on being incapable of reading. EDIT: PS Alpha Protocol is the best, fight me.

There were a bunch of events leading up to Obsidian's financial woes of which MS cancelling Stormlands or whatever that one was called was only one. And there is a huge difference between 'I want to make this game and can't get funding from publishers so will see if crowd sourcing works' and 'I don't want to work with publishers'.

That was approximately zero percent of the basis for KS. First, KS existed as a platform for quite a while before video game Kickstarters started to be a thing. Second, the first high profile video game KS, Doublefine Adventure/Broken Age, was more about making a kind of game that they weren't able to get publishers to fund. We know they weren't averse to working with publishers, because they still did that a whole lot. Thirdly, Obsidian Entertainment's initial Kickstarter had absolutely nothing to do with a desire not to work with or get bought by publishers, and everything to do with the fact that they were going to have to fold if they didn't have something happen.

Yep, the only one, there's no worried people in this thread at all.

It gave them a basis for not shutting down in the immediate short term, which was absolutely going to be the result if PoE hadn't been successfully Kickstarted.

I was suggesting that was Obsidian's motive for making the Kickstarter and Fig campaign, not necessarily ours for backing it.

I think it was more to prevent going bankrupt and no longer having a company, than to prevent being purchased and still having a company. Also, first Pillars Kickstarter had 73,986 backers, Pillars 2 Fig campaign had 33,614 backers. Approximately $2.25M of the funds raised for Pillars 2 was in 'Fig funds', which I think is money from people who invested in the game, but I'm not 100% sure.

I already made my decision in the console war, and it was PS4. And also Switch. So, everything except an XBone. So if Obsidian did release an Xbone only game, I'd... well let's be real, if the game looked good enough I'd buy an Xbone. But I wouldn't be happy about it.

Well then, sounds like you already voted with your wallet, which is part of why they are where they are now.

Customers did leave them. POE2 was commercially disappointing. A shame, since I loved it, but we have to face the facts that our niche fandom was barely keeping Obsidian afloat, so while they may be 'losing customers', they've already lost plenty and that's why this business deal is probably necessary.

Yeah, nobody hates a franchise like a fan of that franchise. (New Star Wars rules BTW.)

I suspect that if they had that amount of customers, they wouldn't have been in the financial situation where this was a necessary move.

I can only conclude you've misread my post.

People acting like Obsidian Entertainment accepting a business deal that means they don't have to constantly have the fear of bankruptcy and unemployment over their head is a big betrayal need to get a grip and get some perspective.

Yeah but instead, the Archer IP.

You have lost reputation with Eder: Major.

The Beta is buggy and unbalanced? What is this, amateur hour? It's like it's some unfinished not ready for release version or something...

Yeah combat seems to be infrequent but meaningful so far, up to about level 5.

Yeah imo this is the best Larian game. Story is actually interesting, which helps.

I've been playing this solo as an undead elf (because I needed a corpse eater for plot reasons and an undead for... well also plot reasons but I didn't want to hire Sebille or Fane because I like Ifan, Lohse and Beast more) and also been playing co-op with one of my friends as Lohse (he's playing as an elf) and thoroughly enjoying both experiences. Also undead make the best lockpickers.

That wasn't really unique to gender roles though, was it? It wasn't like every other peculiarity of the world you're in, they acknowledge your character's knowledge.
