  1. About that statistic, how many of those fights were justified in self defense or in the defense of others?
  2. They are getting rid of their script language in favor of C++ so that may sort some issues, although I still think that it's going to take them 20 iterations to figure out how ladders work.
  3. Don't use that NRA malarkey logic. No one is saying guns kill people. It's a matter of regulating public safety. If Adam Lanza's mom would never have owned a military weapons cache, or if she'd at least kept it properly locked away, that would have been another obstacle or two between him and committing mass murder. So because some citizens may be insane you need to ban guns; the same argument could be made of police forces and I can actually put the example of the cop who wanted to cook and eat children (may have been women I don't recall) as supporting evidence.
  4. Somehow I got really hung up on the Muslim bit, it is seriously becoming harder to take a moderate stance on the subject when it seems that the majority are zealots. On the subject; anyone can look up violent crime statistics on countries with a ban on guns and on those without and draw their own conclusions as to whether guns contribute to crime or prevent it.
  5. I was just happy with my choices. But we all know I love slutty brunettes. That wear leather, dark makeup and listen to industrial while snapping their whips.
  6. Makes sense; you often have to make judgement on the veracity of what people tell you, most of the time it's inane and doesn't really matter but on a life or death situation it becomes indispensable to distinguish between false and true hence you're more involved.
  7. I'm Norway; didn't we had someone in the forums who was from Norway?
  8. So we have lawyers,scientists, coders and aspiring (or professional) writers on this forum. Any 3D artists?
  9. I'm pretty sure they made every character in the world of DA2 bisexual so that they'd have all bases covered and nobody could complain (except the people with functioning brain cells who figured out that it's astronomically unlikely that Hawke would be a vortex that attracts bisexuals in a mevievalesque RPG, in total ignorance of the fact that the only people who could get away with homosexual behavior were kings and people close in noble rank to kings.) I'm actually curious as to what it is about Bioware games that so strongly attracts the LGBT community such that it is, for all intents and purposes, their primary audience. Sure their promo material is all White Male Shaved Head 5 O'Clock Shadow SPESS MUHREEN protagonist, but we all know 90%+ of their fanbase is not white male tree-trunk necked bulging-vein steroid abusers/lovers of that particular character archetype. Was it the Squidgirls from Mass Effect? I still feel like Japan pulled that off better. How about gays exist? They do, but real beings do not switch their sexual preferences just to please the " All Omnipotent Player". I can't empathize with something that's obviously there for my convenience and I can't think of them as real. In the end is an issue of writing, I can believe that some companions due to their background would be more likely to be sexually liberated. Although considering that a good percent of companion stories are going to revolve around the fact that you're romancing them I can see why they would make everyone Bi.
  10. I'm sorry, but don't you work for that company with all the romance simulators? It seems to me that you should be the romance authority on this forum.
  11. I hate when CRPGs put a limit on how many characters you can have on your party but makes you fight hordes of enemies. What the hell is the rest of the party doing; parking the wagons? Why do the bad guys get to have a bigger party?
  12. You know, the great thing about having low standards is that you get to hook up with a bunch of hot chicks.
  13. It was published (not localized) by Monolith Studios and the lead designer has a western name. My guess is that they tried to mimic JRPGs, there were a few people trying to break into the niche markets on the west with titles like those. I remember playing the dreadful Sudeki.
  14. Big country, hard to get around and planes are expensive.
  15. JRPGs have better game mechanics that WRPGs.
  16. A pure stealth game wasn't going to attract that much of a crowd, my guess that they struggled trying to make the game marketable.
  17. I haven't played the previous games; I think I only played the original for about 5 seconds before I decided it wasn't for me. The game does offer a lot of options to customize your own experience, it literary lets create your custom difficulty which was a big bonus. The only real critique is about the levels being too small and as a result the exploration being too linear. OTOH you can't really have graphical fidelity and deep exploration. It's a solid game I just don't think is for everyone and it's definitively not for fans of the originals.
  18. Do you care to offer a more scandalous one?
  19. A good character is above all interesting; I don't think Patrick Bateman has any of the attributes mentioned in the video and yet it is a great central character. You don't have to relate to him you just need to be curious about what's on his mind, and little by little you start getting a sense of him and the world he inhabits and you get him. That's suspension of disbelief, making an average normal person understand a psychopath, even if they don't like or agree with him. If your character is interesting, people will want to know more about him/her otherwise it's just going through the same motions as the rest.
  20. I think some of the best player dialogue options I've seen where in VTM:B; it didn't have any of the usual flavors, it was in fact quite constricting but it still managed to give life to my character. I think good writing supersedes the number of options, I rather have 3 well defined archetypes than 5 just thrown there for the sake of variety.
  21. I apologize for my blasphemous opinions that keep drawing too many facts.
  22. Then you should say something dirty like: " I min-max my character in CoD" I just think that we're out of complaints, I mean there aren't that many WRPGs. Also, Ultima in no way deserved 9 sequels and were only made because Lord British is loaded.
