Judge Hades

Yep. Oblivion made the game Idiot-Friendly.

Exactly. Those who just speed through the game are probably the same people who couldn't find Caius, from the Morrowind game, in Balmora. They just couldn't be bothered to read the directions to his house so they sped right through everything.

That is where I bought mine.

I like to take my time and immerse myself in the game and see it through the eyes of my character.

Nearly all X Boxes are the same unless damaged in some way or modified.

He has in the past. I have never had single digit frame rate with Jade Empire.

Gee, when did Bloodlines or Quake become turn based? You know, you guys simply do not get it because instead of seeing it through the eyes of your character you are seeing it through the eyes of the player. I am through with this argument.

It give you a basis to work from. In a full blown fire fight and intense combat situation when a person's life is at stake will go out an d about thinking that this is some sort of puzzle. It isn't. You have two options. Fight or flight. That is it. In most cases a person will not be thinking all that clearly either so trying to put a puzzle in the middle of combat is stupid in a poor design gimmick.

Lare, get into a situation in which your life is threatened and you will see.

Um... Rabbit? What rabbit? Ah... LOOK! A butterfly! *runs and hides*

Obviously I need to explain that when I mean real combat I mean that the person is going against a real opponent that is trying to kill him or her.

I am probably in the 15,000 mark if WoT was counted.

Good for you.

That should just tell you that very few game developers have actually been in real combat situations.

Well, they are both protocol droids. Maybe HK could convince C3 to "update" his programming and place assassin protocols in C3PO's core.

Necromancing - Gnarles Barkley.

That is because the tobacco executives today are just to emo.

Which indeed is unfortunate.

If someone was trying to kill you would you call it combat or go "Oh, this must be a puzzle. Now, how do I dodge that bullet? Ah, a limerick should do the trick!"

Most people don't want consequences in their games, though it is unfortunate.

The truth lies!

Speaking of Francesco, version 3.1 of his mod has been released.

If something is attacking you, regardless if you can kill it or not, it is a combat situation.

I explored everything.
