  1. The backer characters have gold hued name plates, the ones you need to talk to are plain. A little difficult to tell them apart, but you get used to it. Btw, can anyone tell me at what point in the game I can do White March?
  2. Why does it make a difference which character your PC is? Unless you're playing solo. Edit: I made a wizard, and almost immediately met another wizard, who is almost exactly the same as the PC. I thought the game was doing that on purpose.
  3. That is upside down.
  4. Toward the middle of the game, I finally got into the stride, just going through checking off quests. The key is to have it in rotation, but not play it every day, it can't sustain that.
  5. So it The Surge just combat, or is there other RPG stuff? I was hoping it was more like Mars: War Logs.
  6. The ones who don't agree with you you mean.
  7. They shouldn't have put former Ubisoft people on Deus Ex. Needs to be someone who understands emergent gameplay, instead of trying to force you into predefined channels.
  8. You mean our distant descendants.
  9. It's prudence, not fear. We see what's happening in Europe. A country's first responsibility is always its own citizens.
  10. It's potential of terrorist infiltration. True Pakistan and Afghanistan would be high on the list, but I'm sure it has to do with diplomatic and political considerations. Egypt was only hostile to Obama on account of his support for Muslim Brotherhood. Turkey is formally a NATO ally, although a false one IMO. Iraq's currently at war and doesn't control a lot of its own territory, so there's that. Edit: Reading the executive order, it seems like it has to do with what kind of information on the visa applicants the country is able to provide. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/us/politics/refugee-muslim-executive-order-trump.html?_r=1
  11. Speaking of alternative facts, welcome to post-modernism, Bruce: http://www.hoover.org/research/fake-news-postmodernism-another-name
  12. They're also close US allies, who we can't afford to quarrel with. So only fatal attacks count? There were just recently a couple of attacks by Somalis.
  13. Is that an about face though? Will need a translation from the original Spanish as well, heh. I don't think it's an about face, it's just that continually saying it publicly does nothing but rub salt in the wound. Just quietly take it out of their foreign aid and increase entry fees, or something like that. Don't insist that they have to agree to it, because they never will. Edit: Mexico flaunts our laws and disrespects our sovereignty, but we still have to be the adult in the room. https://www.city-journal.org/html/mexico’s-undiplomatic-diplomats-12891.html Needless to say, things have only gotten much worse since then under Obama. Nieto called us "the other Mexico".
  14. https://twitter.com/kausmickey/status/825158430432178176?ref_src=twsrc^tfw Edit: http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2017/01/27/mexico-trump-pena-nieto-agree-not-publicly-discuss-wall-payment/ Smart move, this was humiliating to Mexico.
  15. I'm sure there is plenty of legalese that could get them out of the Union. But that doesn't mean the new trade and water agreements between the new country of California and the rest of the US would be amicable. They would be, otherwise both would only be hurting themselves. Same with Britain and the EU. Edit: This shows Republican power in the Senate is pretty tenuous: http://hotair.com/archives/2017/01/27/cbs-senate-republicans-convinced-trump-that-pryor-is-a-no-go-for-scotus/ Too many weak sisters.
  16. It would if the law was passed allowing it, hence my idea of a national referendum.
  17. From my point of view, it's the source of all of US's political problems, or most of them anyway. It was fine when it was Republican, or even a swing state, but now it's an evil, lawless Democrat empire. WOD you cant use such hyperbole.......you must be using certain just to tease the guys who live in California For example how is California evil or lawless ? Neither of those words can be used to reasonably describe any state in the USA http://www.breitbart.com/california/2015/07/09/7-ways-jerry-brown-and-california-democrats-embraced-illegal-aliens/ Also in the last Senate election in California, there wasn't even a Republican running. Both candidates were Democrats. And Dems are the evil party. Edit: Also this: http://victorhanson.com/wordpress/california-at-twilight/ Admittedly he can be a little apocalyptic.

  19. Personally I think that we should not tap into our native oil reserves until we absolutely must (because why run them down when we don't have to, I'd rather pay more and have strategic advantage later than use them now and find ourselves short when we really need them). The oil is virtually infinite, it's just a question of getting it out of the ground.
  20. Why wouldn't they just stay in California? They're wanted there, the benefits are great, and the Governor pretty much already surrendered the state to them.
  21. According to polls 30% of Californians favor secession. Granted you need pretty good organization to get that many valid signatures, and they don't seem to have one, so we'll see. The perils of meritocracy: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/17/opinion/the-rise-and-fall-of-european-meritocracy.html?_r=2 Shorter version : Even if you're a citizen of the world, the world still doesn't give a crap about you.
  22. Once again, like with the hacked emails, Russians are doing us a favor. Normally you'd run a deficit with one country but compensate for it by having a surplus with another. Problem is we run deficits with everyone. We could easily produce all the oil we need domestically, but that would require a fee on imported oil to make domestic production profitable. That is not politically possible. Edit: Doesn't matter that we're a service economy. You always pay for goods and services you consume with the goods and services you produce. We don't do that, so we have to borrow the difference. That works fine so long as you can borrow indefinitely and continue to pay the interest on the ever increasing debt.
  23. Seemed so bad it's bad to me. Admittedly ME1 had a few good moments in a sea of tedious mediocrity. ME2 I could barely get through the demo it was so boring (Although if I could kick Joker through the airlock instead of being forced to rescue him, it'd be an instant buy).
  24. It's a loss to the economy for sure. It has some benefits, mostly lower prices, but that is because we're borrowing instead of earning. So it's just a question of how long the scam continues.
  25. It's just that you reached the level of wisdom to see things as they truly are. ME has always been schlock. Congratulations!
