Fishing
As a fan of the Dragon Breath series I gotta say that fishing is a yay for me. Besides I need something to do while drunk.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS!
Awesome. I am assuming it will be a decent upgrade in terms of the engine, given the official expansions always did a pretty great job with improving the graphics. I'm not quite sure what you mean by fixing the combat, the game is perfect in that regard. The RTS bit could had used a bit of polishing, even with the mods I don't feel that strategy actually plays much of a role.

Existence does not require a purpose.
Purpose, Mr. Anderson! It is purpose that created us, it is purpose that connects us, purpose that pulls us, that guides us, drives us, binds us. It is purpose that defines us. Purpose!!! You couldn't resist, could you?

Debate/Discussion as a Combat System (Mages/Intellectual PC)
I really dislike that kind of exposition; is too cheap and lazy for my taste, like they didn't know how to portray the bad guy through his actions so now they need him to be explicit and explain his evil plan word for word like you're "special". It's lazy at its best patronizing at its worst, best we find out by ourselves what we want to do rather than be swayed by pretty arguments. I mean how hard can it be to write some scenes where both points of view are expressed through acts rather than words.

Piracy
The logistics was probably them waiting for the right bid. Score one for piracy over greed.

The important thing is to keep at it and have an objective view of what you do and what is yours.

Project Eternity Bagelhead Stretch Goal
What is there not to get? Bagelheading, why bagelheading is desirable, why anyone would want to look like they have an O-Ring fused on their head. That sort of thing. It's Japan, hell if I know.

Short Story - Silence w/ Flying Through The Air
The writing style seems a little too direct, you should work on establishing a better rhythm and tone. Other than that, its successful at painting a picture without being explicit(kudos for that BTW). But I kind of got lost at the middle when it became "faster", it often happens to me when action is present on a passive medium.

I never knew laws were so bizzare in Indonesia.
It's a good idea to know the law when you are in a different country. Either way I hope that the consulate takes this up, he should be tried by his home country's courts. Cultural relativism and all that jazz.

Existence does not require a purpose.
What is the purpose of this thread? Why does it exist? When you force yourselves or others to believe that this thread has a purpose an infinite regress of posts occurs. Stop it

What makes a villain you love to hate?
I get what your say but your view is more applicable to a real life scenario than an actual story, because its the conflict that drives the villain and therefore the story. But within the confines of a simple three stages story structure its the villain that initiates the conflict. PS:T is a great example of a story without a main villain, although you could argue that the nameless one was the villain since his actions initiated the conflict and he is also the main antagonist. They are destructive because destruction is a force of change, on stories when the status quo is the evil then the protagonist becomes the force of change ergo the destructive one. Motivations aside though, I think that is that the problem is writers that confuse relatable with apologetic, I prefer my villains to be consistent in their personalities. P.S: I think I would like a pacifist antagonist if I get the chance to play as an evil overlord.

What makes a villain you love to hate?
I think you got that backwards there alphyna, is the protagonist that is bound to the villain because it is the villain that creates the conflicts and drives the story forward. Personally I don't much care for the views of antagonists, they are often destructive of the character if done improperly. E.G. Saren from ME: who starts as a bona fide bad guy, hates humanity and is a bad ass Specter for the galactic council. Mid way in the game we learn about the Reapers and how scared he is of them, plus the fact that he may be indoctrinated. By the end he's a more of an emotional mess than a sixteen years old girl, is indoctrinated and shoots himself as if it was some sort of redemption. So, from bad guy to scared bad guy to broken down husk of what used to be something lethal.

BioWare Founders Retiring!
I think there's a consensus that Desmond never left the facility, has been permanently attached to the animus and his story is just a fabricated lie. And if that's not canon it should be. Seriously how does the guy with the coolest ancestors end up being that.

BioWare Founders Retiring!
Ok let me try to simplify my thoughts, BW is good at making CRPGs which they don't do anymore in favor of action/hybrids that aren't quite good but still get a pass because of the novelty of the experience. But at their core they are still a CRPG developer therefore they can't make ME have the same level of mechanics as GoW, and as they kept expanding into newer more diverse projects oversight fell down and they exploded.
