I must admit a sick pleasure in watching all the suppositions of what happens at this point, and the motivations/reasons for it I did mean the "maybe there's a good reason" part, even though I managed to bury it under 4 meters of sarcasm.

I'm not impressed by the monk trailer. Too Hollywood.

Why not mix the ashes with the cement to make it indestructible?

But look at it! It's just standing there begging to be destroyed, just look at that self-righteous urn being all high and mighty on its stand. :DDDD

My experience is nowadays no one makes their game as good as possible on the first "try" without some fan feedback. There are so many variables though, I mean what you like I might dislike and vice versa, what indicates your dollar is worth more than mine? Than again the majority of your target audience does not even visit this forum or others like it so how do you give them what they want. Let's take fallout 3 for example I hated that piece of garbage, does beth regret not listening to me? Hell no their laughing their ass off and countin the $$$$$$$$$ Well, take HL 2 for example. Some people liked it the way it was. Others said it was boring. So Valve put more details into it to keep your brain busy (Alyx chatting, puzzles, environmental puzzles while you are fighting ant lions, sitting in a house that's stormed from 3-4 directions, etc). Those who liked it will like it even more, those who found it boring won't find it boring anymore, and those who still find it boring...well, their loss. But the game still got better.

What are you gonna do about the dog? Sheesh, it's just the holiest ****ing relic of the god that takes care of your ****ty immortal soul after you get eviscerated by your party leader. And remember, high fantasy, medieval mindset.

No, it's like this:"OMG you desecrated our most holy relic!!!uno11!" "Yeah, coz I'm too lazy to carry it to our fortress for safekeeping. We need to destroy it so the Blight doesn't get it. And if they don't use it, then why should our army?" "Oh, okay". Okay okay. You don't persuade them that their religion is wrong, instead you convince them that the urn has to be destroyed so the Blight doesn't get it. As I remarked above, makes no sense to me either. But maybe there will be a good reason why you can't just take that damn thing with you. Oh wait, the Blight can. And use it too, like it's not a hostile god's holiest artifact.

According to one of the earlier articles you can persuade them to see things your way if your influence is high enough. Good idea Maria, a playthrough where I fanatically destroy everything that has "temple", "artifact" or "long lost" in it's name. xD

But it's the greatest artifact of their church! Anyone with some common sense would send a small army to retrieve it, no?Especially if several scholars go missing in that area. Morrigan believes in power. The dog believes in you.

I'm a bit worried about that urn thing: it has been lost for decades/centuries/a long time. And when it's needed some "random" noblewoman tells you to find it, and you just do? Yeah ok, someone has been researching it's possible location all his life etc etc, but don't tell me all those years no one else ever put that effort into finding the Holy Grail of the Chantry. Or is the urn kept in that temple just for fun and giggles?

This thread got me thinking. 8 million people bought FO 3, most(?) of them [deleted] and shouting best gaem evar!!, and..where are those people? I mean, wouldn't they want to post suggestions and stuff for New Vegas? Are they posting on the Beth forum, or what? Why not on the developer's forum? [Edited by SteveThaiBinh for taste.]

Favorite class taken out vs cool looking monk. Not being able to see a cool paladin in Dio 3 graphics vs cool looking monk. Shield using enemies are invulnerable from the front vs primary shield using class taken out. I don't like this trade. But the monk looks really cool.

I'm torn between asking why so many people treat the absence of M/M romance like a country missing a constitution, and the knowledge that I'd be annoyed too if M/F wouldn't be an option.
