  1. Go easy on them, humor is a coping mechanism and nowadays these attacks are far too common. A little humor might be appropriate if only for the cartoonist's sake. On another note and since we have already breached the political I expect this event to become the platform for immigration reformation debate. Western Europe has a problem with immigration and with some groups that want it to happen en masse, while opponents become more radical thanks to events like this.
  2. Considering that every time that a shooting spree happens the left intermediately bring the anti-gun arguments is only fair that the right gets to promote guns when terror acts occur. Both stances are equally reprehensible though. BTW, Hassat guns didn't help because they didn't have them.
  3. I'm getting the feeling that nowadays we just buy BW games just to keep the trainwreck going, since most of what we do is complain about them for the rest of the year. But hey, there's that new IP coming up and if they say that it has no romances i'm buying it.
  4. I would add that there is no real progression between becoming the Herald of Andraste and the Inquisitor. No added gameplay features, the story up to that point, the game and every character within it already treats you as the de facto ruler. So you go from ruling the Inquisition to the game catching up the fact that you rule Inquisition ever since the first hour of the game. It is a massive bit of ludonarrative dissonance that overshadows a series of other minor gaps between the game and its story. Every BW game is a bit of a roller coaster for me, where there are high points and low points. Throughout most of their games they have been able to identify their strengths and focus on those, DA:I has those weaknesses spread out over what are hours of mediocrity and the virtues are only enough to coast your attention. It is like getting a corpse to act on a play by attaching electrodes to it, a deadpan performance with the occasional jolt that keeps attention; sadly, the play is 100+ hours long.
  5. I'm sure the Mossad was behind it. Not sure if serious...But considering that in France since the Gaza news broke out, public opinion of Israel has dropped down. Still, I will ask you for what makes you say that, has there been some proposal or bill or the rise in Right Wing parties that did something recently related to Israel?
  6. Is it weir that I think that girl looks like Vivian.
  7. There is everything wrong with the romances as they are for the most part cringy. Also, BW shouldn't be involved in open world games and they shouldn't in fact let you choose your own team. Those are missed opportunities for some character development, so DA:I; jack of all trades master of none, recycled assets from Origin and as usual the best girl doesn't have romance scene. (It's Harding if you're wondering) Doesn't seem like you understand the purpose of Romance in RPG Orog? They are there to add greater immersive interaction with party members and make the whole RPG journey more memorable...don't be a hater Well, trauma is certainly memorable. Really though, an open world game wasn't going to have as much character depth as a linear game. Plus the romance where a complete 180 from what some characters were portrayed as and it was done without any development. So you go from stern moral paragon woman to blubbering romance novel fangirl without any padding in between, and that was the best romance IMO. Rest were ****e.
  8. Speaking of which, I found out that story about Washington and the cherry tree was a lie. He probably blamed it on a slave or something.
  9. Loki's been retconned into a kid, so expect to see him replaced by a cheap child actor. Actually, he's on his teens but [spoiler alert] his old self also exists and he will eventually be turned into him(or was, its been a while since I gave a damn about comics). How is this journalism btw?
  10. There actually no lore issues with female Thor in the Marvel Universe. Mjolnir has the specific legend of "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." Semantic argument over the lack of gender neutral pronouns in the English language aside, the intent was, and always has been, that whoever was deemed worthy by the enchantment could hold the hammer and be Thor. Hence Beta Ray Bill. Is Thor a title? I thought it was the guy's name. Thor Odinson is the son of Odin. Named Thor. The Hammer Mjolnir has an enchantment that only the people worthy of it can pick it up. And in so doing, they are granted the power of Thor. Back when the title started, Odin had punished Thor by making him human and exiling him to earth (where he had the alias of Dr. Don Blake) and if he proved himself worthy he could unlock his Thor powers. Which he did, regaining powers and memory, but the enchantment to Mjolnir remains. So its a desert topping and a floorwax. I mean its a name and a title. Thor Odinson is Thor whether he has his hammer or not, but anyone who has his hammer and can pick it up ("worthy") is also Thor. So Beta Ray Bill was Thor until Thor took his hammer back and Odin had a similar hammer made for Bill that gave him Thorish powers. Which brings us to our mystery woman who picked up the hammer and has become Thor in the current title after Thor Odinson became unworthy and unable to pick it up again. The only other person besides Thor to go by Thor while wielding Mjolnir was Eric Masterson, and it was because Thor was bound inside his body, and when Thor was split from him and banished, he just kept up the illusion that he was still Thor, only revealing he wasnt to Captain America. Beta Ray Bill was still Beta Ray Bill, Steve Rogers was still Steve Rogers. Having Thor's powers doesn't make you Thor. It doesn't necessarily make you Thor - except when it does. BRB had all the powers of Thor and could have easily went by Thor if he wanted to. The realist in me thinks that it was because Thor is a known brand which if gender bent would cause outcry (as it did) and bring attention to the comic. Marvel has been relying on shock tactics for a while know regarding changes with their character, just like with the "Superior" Spider Man. Yet the conspiracy lunatic in me thinks that it is an attempt by the Jewish media to undermine the symbol of white nordic masculinity while they turn women more violent and men into wusses by putting Thor on the hands of SJWs. The passing of Thor hammer is a sign of the end of men...or I could be overreacting but my conspiracy sense is tingling.

  12. Now that's a great idea for a mod; an Iron Bull mount.
  13. Pretty much, word of mouth and insight is how I get my news since a while back. Maybe there are some other forums that discuss games more avidly than this one, on general (and if you have a strong stomach) I would recommend one of the chans (infinity preferred not that half one) since they act as a good filter for a lot of stuff and can even come up with some good content. They don't follow games as avidly and sometimes they just do it out of spite (most times) Other than that, I would say just watching for upcoming games. Ever since AAA has dried out the market there aren't that many games to get hyped for.
  14. Well if they didn't give you enough you wouldn't have been able to complete the game, but considering that I ended with 100+ power I could have easily traded that for some influence or gold or some schematics. I could never get enough of those.
  15. She doesn't have the breast for it, also I'm predicting outrage due to the fact that she isn't Asian.
  16. Look I'm not arguing against the ideology, just against letting it dictate the rules and the content that is created. There shouldn't be any kind of politicking involved in game development.
  17. After 2 years of mammary related game scandals I'm just glad that they have something else to talk about. Seems that they won't be happy until they're miserable, tolerance is one thing but passivity when confronted with someone that wants to harm you. Now that's how the Dodo got extinct. Even if you're trying to skirt around the issue, the issue with journalism is that they are corrupt ideologues and the ideology is feminism. No benefit to ignoring that.
  18. Indeed, there does seem to be a lot more focus on persons and personalities than on facts and issues that facts raise. If someone's done something that is legally actionable the solution isn't posting it on the internet, but getting the information into the hands of the proper authorities. If its not legally actionable than its just character assasination (denounce the person to denounce their point rather than addressing the point itself). IMO. Well, I guess since the SJWs are a cult of personalities that drive the narrative you would first have to character assassinate them in order to disrupt their movement. Besides, as long as GG keeps them busy they probably won't be complaining about boobs in games, or if they do GG will likely counter them. It's ****ed up but it seems that balance has been restored to the force.
  19. If what you mean is that they stop enjoying sex because of their work, then I would ask you why does that matter. A lot of people stop enjoying their passions once it becomes their job. If you are talking about the stigma associated with sex work and porn then that's on moralists and their smear campaigns. Like I said before; there are a lot of different people in the world, nothing that you've said has convinced me that sex work is inherently bad just that some people are bad at it. Just like some people quit being doctors because they can't deal with the pressure of saving a life, or when people quit being cops because they are afraid they might lose their lives. Some people are better equipped to deal with it than others. As for the people saying that this isn't related: We are doing this Volo's niece sake, have a heart people.
  20. I won't go into too many details but lets just consider one point, how do you think anyone would feel about having sex for money.....yes you may enjoy it but what would the emotional and psychological impact be? Bruce... Firstly, people are different and run the gamut from those that would never be able to go through it to those that find it empowering. Psychological impact is what moralists who have little clue about sex workers and think of it as closely associated to the crime world and negative in general. The only reason why prostitution is abused by criminals is because it is illegal; although as someone pointed to me before on another thread decriminalization doesn't necessarily stop that, but it helps regulate it and police abuses. Secondly, prostitution isn't the only job with a psychological impact and when you compare it with other heavier jobs it seems very tame. Yet no one seems to want to criminalize those jobs or eliminate them. Even when not all of them are necessary or useful, they still exist and for many it is the only way to put food on the table. Thirdly, how do you reconcile "Her body her choice" with "Prostitution and Porn should be illegal"? Come on guys, you can't seriously be arguing with me about this and suggesting that a sex workers job isn't both demeaning and degrading? I think they should legalize all sex work, the girls need protection in the eyes of the law So we should ban jobs that have to deal with sewage, excrement, bugs or anything that its demeaning and degrading? Or are they allowed as long as we keep women away from them and in cushy white collar jobs? You people that are for equality can't seem to stop showing their double standard when equality becomes harmful for your protected minorities.

  22. Probably because it the tenth goddamn time you've seen that landscape while chasing a marker that just mysteriously appears at places.
  23. Don't worry, BW has joined bethesda in the old adage "Mods will fix it." From what I understand, modding DAI will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. At least Bethesda provides a toolset. My friend you don't understand the modding community. There are people already working on DAI_Tools, most recenlty there have been texture replacement mods done using them. It is still early but if they keep working on them I don't see why someone shouldn't be able to mod all NPC exclusive armors for PC use. They were probably made using the same base body so it should just be a matter of making them available, no rigging required (hopefully). Still, I don't know if this community will reach the same level as Origins less alone the Bethesda games...guess we'll see.
