See, there shouldn't even be a comparison with action games. Elder Scrolls had a tradition of stat based gameplay before Oblivion. If Morrowind actually had parry and dodge animations for when your attack missed (like in Drakensang or Neverwinter Nights), nobody would ever have complained that they didn't hit anything at close range or their weapon passing through the enemy and we could still have had stat-based first-person combat. Or at least, they could have introduced a full third-person version with Age of Conan mechanics. Then again, I play as mage anyway.

Son, why you metagaming?

He picked a mage on his first playthrough, one of the more involved classes to play, then didn't even bother training his skills and buying/making new spells... then jumped into the main quest and got killed around ten times by Snowy Gravius. Kinda painful to watch.

Well, they're picking many enemies of small size, so it's almost the same.

Ah yes, the man (apparently) (in)famous for his disastrous Daggerfall and Morrowind Let's-Plays.

You can fix ED-E without using Repair skill, by collecting and applying the necessary junk parts.

If they make an adventure/RPG spin-off similar to the Shannara game from Legend Entertainment, I'm already happy. For instance, playing as an Aes Sedai and picking up companions along the way. The setting is so vast, they don't need to follow the material from the books at all.

It's a toss-up between Cass and Veronica for me. Boone's a block of wood, and his combat abilities were mostly impressive due to a bug that raised his guns skill up the wazoo, IIRC. After I gave Cass Joshua Graham's pistol, she kills entire groups of enemies in 5 seconds. Must be that weapon's insane DPS.

Dragon Age?

Twi'leks look especially fugly, worse than the ones in KOTOR and Jedi Academy, even. Also, is the bald goth chick voiced by whoever voiced Jack from ME2?

Jawa is romancable?

Nah, the difference is there's an ocean in between. The fact that Americans built a wall to keep their southern neighbours out, should tell enough how they would deal with muslims.

*scratches head* I'll need to take a holiday to Finlandia.

Biggest joke is that most muslim countries don't put up with this crap themselves. Not to mention that the fundamentalist ****s that force women to walk around like blanket stores, are holocaust deniers in the first place.

Saw Captain America not too long ago. I liked it much better than other recent superhero movies. The main character portrayed Rogers pretty well, and Bucky was pretty convincing as well. Battle scenes and special effects were nothing special. Only thing I didn't like was the "lol evil" attitude of Red Skull. Maybe that's how he was in the Silver Age, I don't know, but I expected him to be a criminal mastermind and meticulous planner like Dr Doom, like he is in the modern comics. Instead he came off like a superhuman version of Heinrich Himmler. I'm looking forward to the Avengers movie now.

A neutron enters a bar. The bartender: "For you, no charge" A neutrino enters a bar. The bartender: "We're not open yet."

It's either a calculation error (confer Fermi lab 2007) or Mass Effect just got real.

Just bitter, especially considering how well Deux Ex is doing at the moment. The game deserved more.

What a disgrace.

I don't think Bethesda has even as much expressed the desire to produce another Fallout game. Anyway, there've been a few hints about Chicago as well.

I came out of the Divide with more loot than a Spanish schooner, but it's all pretty much useless since the game is essentially over. I only have the battle of Hoover Dam left.

But will there be also samurai armor?
