Malcador

Used the SHIV in the alien base, worked well as a probe of sorts.

Well, then, too bad for you then Part of a reason I want to look for a new job though, current one if I do something, well people just are less pissed off rather than feeling better about the product, so to speak.

I'd be too busy watching pigs flying by.

Shame forums don't have the equivalent of loop invariant code motion

I'm being craven how, I don't think I was trying to hide anything. Also wasn't posting about you there, but for Merin's posts it's pretty damn clear when he's trying to be backhanded and snide, not that I'm offended by such things, but if you match that to his outrage over those pretty tame posts it is amusing. As Monte Carlo suggested in one of those posts, you people need to HTFU.

He probably has you on ignore, though.

Still too expensive.

Eh, the other side seem to be a lot more craven in their insults. Like you, with the "curiosity" that all anti-romance people are from RPGCodex and all the things that comes with that, remarks about not being able to read, etc. It's a forum dynamic, just that one side are tender kids it seems - ignoring people using a forum tool requires a special form of weakness, heh. So when's Merin becoming a moderator, again ?

Eh, you get used to it.

Well, obviously. Maybe we should just assume they'll do romances for you people to enjoy but not make the core of the plot revolve around it, and then we can all shut up about this bloody topic. Heh.

I liked the one of the cat licking the window

Saw a client email today telling our sales guy "I'll suck your **** if you send us the proposal..". Amazing people we deal with. Planning a weekends of studying and reading, although that'll fall through and I'll end up gaming and getting the urge to stab people over the Internet.

Eh, that quote's not as conclusive as I'd liked. Does sort of label romances as the low hanging fruit of the whole companion relation idea - which is true in a way, people liking you to the point they'd be willing to jump your bones is pretty easy to make. Also, nice to see Merin's still being passive aggressive as always (but he's a coward so is ignoring this )

Meh, I beg to differ, but it does at least make a good pen to keep you lot in, heh.

Well if the only thing you want to post about is romances and relationships between PCs and NPCs, not much more to it then. Then again this forum is, at this stage, rather meaningless. Thinking of 18 months of retreaded conversations and ideas is also depressing, heh.

Maybe just not talk at all ? That'd be an improvement, or at least make tracking things a little easier in this place.

Did have to laugh when they showed that.

Really hope Obsidian just announces they're adding in romances for you people then this can all go to bed.

Another aimless day, but it's bookstore day so not that awful.

Pretty weak insult at all. Such weird terminology these days.

Damn everyone wins. The forums DO produce good ideas.

Hope is but the first step on the road to disappointment.

Well those are two games I'd never expect them to draw things from.

I just wanted to give you a reason that has not been named already. There are plenty more hidden in this thread already, but since i have to repeat them over and over I try to vary it a bit. Short version: You can either participate in the brainstorming for making the game better by thinking about cultural diversity (in regards to beauty) and a realistic, interesting, non-standard depiction of women in games or you can do, what a few posters like NerdBoner and Jasede have done for pages now: Try to bring this down to a discussion about political correctness, accusing others of whiteknighting and, in short, spam this thread. I'd like to see you included in the discussion, though. Your choice Oh great, more moderator wannabes. That reason has been brought up already, I'm not exactly a fanboy of the company, but I do at least trust them to not mess up basic things as "making decent characters".

Not much meat behind telling them to continue a trend though, they're not fools, after all. EDIT : sorry for the double post.
