Guess the huge piggy bank must've given them away.

The only complaint I have is the way the heavy armor & weapons look. Looks like it came from World of warcraft of Fable, not very medieval at all. If the French walked around in metal like that and carried around such weapons, they wouldn't even have made it to Agincourt in time in 1415 to get their butts kicked.

Honestly, after watching it I can't see what the whole fuzz is about. Hard to judge any of that without context. It's the culmination of a romance plot, obviously it's going to stink when one hasn't experienced the whole development. Romeo & Juliet at the balcony is also corny when one only focuses on that one scene. Seemed to me the delivery of that Morrigan was deliberate - maybe she's supposed to be the powerful, but socially awkward sorceress. *shrug* Also, seems the dragon lady is voiced by Captain Janeway.

Imo weapon damage should only be dependent on the condition of the weapon, hence on repair skill. When you're out of the Vault, you normally have a pistol in 100% condition so it's normal you can do a fair amount of damage on petty enemies like Raiders. That's actually how I thought it was until now. *shrug* I can't think of any viable explanation for weapon damage increasing with skill for ballistic weapons.. at least for melee/unarmed one can say that damage increases with skill because as skill increases one gets to know where to hit where it hurts the most.. IIRC Morrowind's weapon damage was determined by a roll, the 'to hit' depended mostly on attributes like strength & agility and less on skill - Oblivion turned this around and fixed the weapon damage.

Fake British accents FTW. I like all BioWare games. But then, I'm but a lowly casual gamer.

I like to keep it simple:

I don't mind Dragonforce, but the problem with them is that all their songs sound the same. It's always like their albums consist of one long song split into segments. There are a lot of power metal bands more talented than them who don't get any attention at all. For instance, Dragonland or Olympos Mons.

Excellent adventure game with survival/horror elements. I liked the nightmarish chase scenes in this game. Just like in a nightmare, one moves literally at a snail's pace. Also, similar to nightmares enemies always break through doors just as one is about to finish shoving a closet in front of it. This game should not be played in the dark, unless one has a bucket of clonazepam at hand.

Rock & metal. The same could be said for Lost Horizon.

Star Trek: Bridge Commander was a pretty good game IIRC. Never finished it, though.

System requirements announced: 20 GB HDD? What's this, AutoCAD 2009?

French chick is angry because you slept with the Book chick, she just acknowledges that she can't stop you from doing it. Apart from killing either of you, of course, but it seems that's a no-no. Huh. These BioWare romances really are over my head. I am going to pick myself the "Marriage of Figaro"/City Elf background to avoid all that.

There's a newer video of the dragon fight on IGN: Link Lettucia?

Those last songs you've posted seem more fitting for Dragon Age.

Here's the real story: Link

I don't get this. Are the women clairvoyant?

It's hard to find your way around them rooftops when you're being chased by 10+ SWAT agents & shot by a helicopter. I always ran into a dead end at one point leading to a reload - finally stopped playing at the beginning of chapter 8, couldn't get past the enemies in the beginning. One of the more frustrating games of the recent years - I probably died more than a hundred times just trying to jump on a passing train. Good fun!

Actually, he solved most problems with the old-fashioned brawl:

A Star Trek RPG similar to Mass Effect could easily be made. There's enough races that could be used as antagonists threatening the known galaxy -- the Borg, Tholian Assembly, Breen but most interesting would be Species 8472. The player character could be some 'veteran' or 'newbie' Starfleet officer sent off in a ship travelling around several planets looking for allies & clues on how to fight the 'evil'. Just PLEASE not another gundam Picard fanservice fest. Captain Picard.

Problem is probably your laptop having onboard graphics..

Beats me. There is an entry in the Codex that states that all genetic diseases were a thing of the past due to genetic manipulation in the womb. Maybe Joker's parents were a bit conservative.

Considering his brittle bone disease, I guess what he needed was the occasional slap on the shoulder.

Seemed like all NPCs, even the Krogan, had a sad sob-story. Taking this into regard, it's surprising there were so few romance options.
