Gun control - murderer control?
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.

Gun control - murderer control?
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.

What makes Good Characters?
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.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
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.

Thief 4
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.

Thief 4
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.

What makes Good Characters?
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.

What flavors of voice do you guys want to see in dialogue options?
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.
