Planning "reasons" I can't attend the work Christmas party, figure it'd be best to have this worked out ahead of time.

Been following that, pretty amusing drama - I especially love Cook's acting all wounded over this. Heh, game 'journalism'.

I'd think they would, they're living in it.

They're fun to laugh at and provoke - buttons for them are pretty easy to read, after all - and tend to have pretty thin skins as well so it's not as if fanboys have no benefit.

The music on the radio stations is also pretty good in Sleeping Dogs.

Leviathan Wakes was a good space opera type novel, the two plots do weave together neatly, ending is so-so. I really hate the captain, Holden, rather amusing how naive he is but at least someone points that out to him. Will have to get the sequel. Finishing off "Fear to Tread", Ka'Bandha vs Sanguinius was a rather brief and hurried fight. Overall average HH quality (I feel somewhat disappointed in myself that I own 21 of these books...).

Meh to that. I must commend the spawning of aliens though, squad all hunkered up advancing to the ship and then...3 floaters materialize right in front of the drop off point (got mashed by overwatch, but still was funny). Have a tricky UFO clearance with those MC'ing Sectoids now.

Well to be fair you do run him through later. Interesting twist there. As for your PC being a parent, eh, I can't see much use of that unless in the story your progeny or you becomes some sort of leader or key figure.

Well took down Teramorphous a couple of times, loot was meh to be honest, but was a fun fight. Seems grenades make him submerge.

Was wondering how many Internet Sardaukar would show up here. I'm not a big fan of spiders, do get a bit weirded out by them a fair bit. But hopefully people can mod them out if they like, or just not bother as, others have said, they're boring opposition. I'd like an RPG where I don't have to fight weird mutated versions of arachnids or insects from our current reality

Well, at least doing that you won't let baseball put you to sleep Today has been a great day with clients apparently ignoring my efforts to help resolve their issues.

Yep. Not even sure why people are expecting it to be different for characters that matter that much, but oh well the Great Crusade will never end and all that.

Nah, no one could be that weird, Monte.

Because this is a serious and pressing issue in this modern era of gaming, one must not marginalize a key demographic that has been criminally underserved in gaming over the years.

Well, there's an overreaction. I can imagine Obsidian people reading this thread and either laughing or getting a headache.

Well, there could be some race the Reapers made into soulless metal husks as part of some first experiment.

I feel worse that that is pretty much my daily routine.

It's over the post limit (500 posts), no ? Kill it!

Don't think you're that far off with your assessment.

Ah, so you're along the lines of 'relationships' Avellone was mentioning being interested in exploring, a lot more interesting than NPCs being a) your buddy b) love interest, heh. Seems bizarre how dogged the interest in this is, with this Steven Segal-esque topic in the forum. Maybe we should just make a thread saying "Interpersonal relationships" where we can all....essentially say "Obsidian shouldn't screw up!" together.

Hah, funny, but no I wanted a proper argument for them.

It's like the Daily Mail on here, sometimes.

Heh, pretty much. Although I suspect if there's much smug passive-aggressiveness as a result, more likely from Merin's lot than the other. I forget after all these threads, but what are the reasons people want NPCs to love them again ?

Sounds like they might put a couple in, just for completeness sake but his real excitement is at exploring other types of relationships. Then I guess these people can get their emotional fulfillment from it (and be smug about it, I suppose). Sadly, it is not enough to put a bullet in this topic.
