  1. It's better than Fallout. It isn't a slave to the setting. My melee vixen, Honeychile, is bashing brains out with blunt objects and it's more fun than shooting stuff atm. My party are all religious extremists and perverts in bondage gear. It's pure Mad Max. Love the gnarly feel and design.
  2. Tinkering with it this afternoon was fun, it's packed with Win. With regards to skills, how many points do you assign on average to each skill with new characters?
  3. Yes, thanks for taking the time to write that, Marceror.
  4. ^ DEJENERATIVE GAEMER ALERT!!!
  5. Am going to BBQ a marinaded leg of lamb in my special home-brewed Jack Daniel's and paprika sauce. Am suffering from man-flu so might add some chilli peppers.
  6. I'm not sure how the adventurer's hall works, but I'll also play with some custom characters. Personally, I think using it as a money sink is OK as long as there's enough money in the first place!
  7. Cheers guys. I'm going 'A' team (like the idea of a Faceman) I think. Except I don't think I'll be needing a helicopter pilot.
  8. I'm going to roll up a new party, but being unfamiliar with the system what would make for a good crew?
  9. Ha ha ha that image is getting Facebooked to all my favourite feministas.
  10. I'm a writer. I learn very little from praise in reviews. Dammit, I know what I do well myself already. I learn far more from constructive criticism. In fact brutally constructive criticism. The idea that I need my scrotum tickled in order for me to learn is nonsense. You're a teacher - you interact with young people in a learning environment. Praise and encouragement are clearly important pieces of your teacher's tool kit. This is different. Obsidian aren't students. The aren't neophyte developers pushing out their first rogue-like, digital bambis taking their first faltering steps. They are professional games developers and online community veterans. Basically, in their world, they are Sergeant Rock. They don't need our praise. They need a focussed, logical and cogent critique of what isn't working. I don't often provide that, mainly because I lack the analytical skills and IT experience folks like Sensuki has. And like others in this forum, we've all had our ups and downs (Sens is from the Codex, a place I occasionally want to expunge from the internet with fire and sword). Nonetheless, Shevek, your point is not found. This isn't eighth grade.
  11. Ha ha ha where did he say that? I thought the entire design philosophy ran contrary to this.
  12. TV Tropes is your friend. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SouthernGothic
  13. 1. Your videos aren't even remotely negative. In fact, by internet gaming community standards they are carved from shimmering blocks of integrity and fairness. 2. So fair play to you. 3. Sawyer's fans are a strange bunch. They seem to worship the man. If they are sending you PMs I suggest you publish them on this thread so we can all laugh at them. 4. Apples and oranges. Comparing an immensely popular fantasy-soap with a slice of gloomy Southern Gothic tells us only that apples and oranges taste differently. 5. Carry on.
  14. I'm listening to a lot of Biffy Clyro atm, as Scottish a band as you can get. Their new album is great.
  15. Dammit. I really wanted them to bugger off.
  16. Because we've not had any more Meg Turney for a while...
  17. Not this time. The lid of Pandora's box has been blown off with Semtex. The Jocks will get ludicrously generous terms to stay in, home rule funded with English money. And Scots MPs will still vote on English matters but not vice versa. This anomaly has had it's day, and the Scottish conduct of the referendum, predicated on anti-English bile, has soured the Union. So the fun and games begin - the main political parties have totally changed the constitutional settlement in these islands without reference to Parliament. It's a disgrace. Imagine if Texas wanted to secede from the United States. In order to keep it inside, the President offers it unprecedented Federal funding and multiple exemptions from Federal law. And he doesn't ask Congress. This is what is happening in the UK right now.
  18. Actually, Jaded, the fun and games are just beginning if they vote 'no.'
  19. Cheddar man was pwned by his Italian forebear, Parmesan dude.
  20. Apart from The French.
  21. No they don't. They are vile, snappy creatures, clearly related to weasels and rats.
  22. Hey, racism paint-by-numbers! Keepin' it classy, Oby!
  23. It's not Scottish independence we're talking about here, it's English Liberation. From whiny, entitled, parasitic celts.
