  1. I don't even understand why Bioware would want to generate that kind of publicity. I can see a sexy alien at least would help sales.
  2. A broken record has nothing on you.
  3. These families are probably already involved with Child Protective Services, or whatever it's called in the UK, so I don't see what the big deal is. The government has an obligation to protect children from bad parents. If adults want to mess up their own lives, that's a different story.
  4. Funny, the ESRB description says exactly why it's rated M, and people still argue about why it's rated M.
  5. Exactly, real brothels are all about sexual exploitation, abuse and often outright slavery. The fact that Bioware make light of the subject just shows how juvenile they are.
  6. There's about a $10 difference due to the license fee. But I also noticed PC games generally tend to be discounted quicker and deeper than console games, may be due to price pressure from piracy, not sure.
  7. That was the point, he did what his position as king required him to do, whether he liked it or not. And that was the climax, so it was supposed to be jarring. And no, I don't think he was
  8. Hate to break it to you guys, but Oblivion did that already.
  9. I think the quad core recommendation is Intel marketing. I distinctly remember a developer on the DAO forum saying recently there's no significant improvement beyond 2 cores. Plus you can always run on low settings.
  10. I read the whole thing, but that was in history class. The only things I can remember is you're supposed to chase down the enemy when they retreat and war is politics by other means.
  11. That was just poor combat balancing/design, although it would've been OK for lower difficulty settings.
  12. That's OK, there won't be any real games next generation, just online free to plays.
  13. As much as I believe in the free market, free market will not prevent people from pissing into the common water supply.
  14. Why don't they just automatically give you the "You Win!" screen in CE?
  15. That's true of most modern main stream games, you just don't see many games crafted with love, or made because someone really wanted to make them, instead of just trying to cash in.
  16. No, what is that? I'm pretty sure it's the games, it seems to work fine otherwise. Edit: Never mind, I looked it up.
  17. I thought Shivering Isles overrelied on repetitive dungeons even more than the OC. I enjoyed exploring the open world in Oblivion and a lot of the quests were pretty fun. I don't get what people hate so much about the main story, it's no worse than most RPG's. Also Knights of the Nine is a bit better quality than most other Oblivion content. Edit: Here are the sidequests from Oblivion I posted a while back, I marked the ones I can remember being good with *, these don't include the main story or the guild quests (from here http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/file/927345/46026).
  18. You're thinking of the robots in terms of a deterministic computer. I think Asimov's idea was that in order to be self-aware they'd have to be based on chaos theory or something like that.
  19. Isn't that China's fault for not allowing free access to the press? Isn't if fair to be biased against someone who tries to conceal information? Also trying to take sides in ethnic riots doesn't make much sense to me, both sides are bound to do some horrific things. It's pretty clear though that the Uighurs are an oppressed minority in China, and China tries to settle ethnic Chinese in their areas to gain greater control. This is also how it worked with ethnic Russians in the Soviet Union.
  20. Hence the three laws of robotics, plus they're not any more unstable than humans, so what are you going to do?
  21. I've been crashing both Vista and W7 with Mysteries of Westgate, MoW also seems to be corrupting Vista, but not W7 yet as far as I can tell. I just installed new ATI Catalyst drivers on W7, so I'll see if that helps. Empire: TW has also been constantly crashing on Vista, but I'm not going to try it on W7 until I finish MoW, I don't need any more problems right now.
  22. As I recall, their positronic brains have to be unstable in order to work, much like the people on this forum.
  23. Those elements worked well in KOTOR, because it's obviously fantasy anyway. They really were incongruous in ME, which tried for a more realistic feel but couldn't make up its mind.
  24. More portraits and descriptions: http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php?topic=924.0
