Tale

Considering one major complaint I hear a lot about Bethesda games is that the story and dialogue isn't up to par, I hardly see how adding a strong writer is a negative thing. Could it be because you fail to realize that George working for Zenimax might interfere with him working on the 2nd Neverwinter Nights expansion?

I don't know about enemies, but you can do it to your teammates.

Tact is overrated.

Snake doesn't get C4. Though he can steal it from someone who does. You can hold people up. If you pat them down while doing it, they lose all of their equipment and you can take it.

Why would you get VAC banned? That's not what VAC is for.

This is a large part it. Lucas doesn't appear to have thought it too well over, but that's what he is presenting in the movies, especially III, V, and VI. Attachment can lead to "negative" emotions, such as fear or anger, which can lead to the Dark Side. Certainly, the policy of forbidding attachment entirely doesn't seem rationally or ideally sound, but that's the idea posited by Lucas for the Jedi. It may seem like a bit of overkill, but despite how the threat may seem manageable to us, Lucas wants it to be very real and dangerous for them. Probably the hardest part of understanding fiction when you start really looking into it is realizing that the same rules we see from the real world don't necessarilly apply. These characters don't really have a psychology. Now, I'm not saying it's normal, in Star Wars, for people to not feel love. But, that's it's more manageable for Jedi, presumably due to stronger discipline. It may seem overly controlling to you, and in the real world you'd likely be right, but within context of what the universe has shown, the rules are there for a very good reason. Fear of losing people you love is the very thing that Palpatine exploits to turn others to the Dark Side. And it ruined the galaxy.

I've still got my e-mail receipt for Aquaria. Neverwinter Nights 2 and Thief 3, no. But they might still have it registered to an account. And hopefully still have my CD-key on file. One thing I really like about Steam is not having limits. Stardock also doesn't do limits. Nor do Telltale. I know Direct 2 Drive has (or had), at least, a limit to how many times you can download. EA Link reportedly has limits for how long you have access to your download. So, my Steam digital downloads are safe. As are my Sam & Max episodes.

Yeah, but that's petrol. Which is inferior to gasoline.

At first I thought it was Bastila being talked about. Then wait, no. It's Mira! Wait, wrong thread. I give up.

I recently got singed (as opposed to burned) by digital distribution. I lost Aquaria, Thief 3, and Neverwinter Nights 2 when I accidentally formatted the wrong drive. Even sent the drive to my uncle for data recover and he simply can't find the data (I also lost the NWN2 module I was working on). When my new computer gets built, I'll have to check around to find out if I can maybe salvage those. I can't recall what limits D2D has on redownloading and need to see if bit-blot will send me a new download link.

It can also teleport nuclear weapons.

Edit: I have no clue what's going on in this conversation now.

Yeah, nobody here has ever seen Mary Tyler Moore. I certainly haven't. Never even heard of it. What's that? I was more of a **** Van Dyke fan. Oh look, he tripped over the ottoman again!

I didn't mind Mira. How she responded to advances was terrific. But I never had room in my party for her. She would have been a 4th, easily. Her character was definitely more interesting than Visas, who was actually my 3rd. However, back when I actually played through the game I never knew how to make your companions Jedi other than Handmaiden and always got the impression from the game that blaster characters are useless. They end up fighting in melee 9/10th the time, anyway. Might as well make it someone who does particularly good damage there. Edit: Not 4th. Maybe 5th. 4th is totally HK-47.

Played Snake twice yesterday. I suck at it. It seems like the second you knock someone unconscious, their entire team materializes on the spot to mow you down. I also got to be the Mk II two or three times.

Yes, where is Imperial Commando, the sequel to Republic Commando?

Now that I think of it, I don't think she ever came on to any of my characters. But, that also includes my attempt at seducing Bastila into a lesbian relationship. It may have been my violent anti-furry tendencies that scared Juhani off.

Or if you were fighting for your life in a post apocalyptic future against zombie hordes!

I just want to take this opportunity to say that PhDs are HOT.

Of course there was no PS3 version at the store. PS3 has no games.

You could say the same of Farcry. Who actually bought that engine?

Blast. Can we at least get one hair twirling, teeheer?

Of course it matters. They're still humanoid and, including Juhani's case, mammalian. The parts probably line up. AHHHH! *runs*
