  1. The thing about textbooks is that the content is largely the same. Occasionally chapters are rearranged, but the only thing that differs is the questions in the book (though they're often very similar). And when I say the content is largely the same, I mean completely unchanged paragraphs. Take Math and Physics textbooks and get a different edition, and the actually content is the same. The questions have changed so used copies will no longer have relevant questions. Many professors advise students of this and/or (probably illegally) post the entire question in the assignments.
  2. That definitely explains the Divine Right of Kings.
  3. Of course it wasn't that blatant, but it was a frightening shift towards bible-based law. Just have to read between the lines
  4. The developers have already been paid, it's the publishers who are complaining. If the developers have some sort of royalty arrangement it would still affect them. I don't know if that is an issue though.
  5. Let's just be clear here: The definition you have doesn't coincide with the previously already established one going back god nknows how long. FedEx isn't exclusive to "stand alone menial assignment which means very little in the context of the rest of the game." If you don't want people to misunderstand you, I suggest you learn the nomenclature of your hobby so that you can properly convey the point you wish to describe. You are not going to be changing the definition of a FedEx quest anytime soon.
  6. I see the peace loving Rauf supporting the decision of the President that doesn't encourage violence between the two countries. In fact, I don't really see anything in there that contradicts any "peace loving" perspective you're trying to discredit.
  7. I think I skipped those anyways hahahaha. On the plus side I found a lot of them were easy to do while doing other stuff so it wasn't a huge time commitment.
  8. Yeah the extra quests in DA job boards are purely just filler quests and didn't add a whole lot. Almost like content for content's sake. At least it's optional.
  9. That even beats the old POR 2: RoMD that wiped your hard drive upon uninstallation. Huh, I disagree. The POR one was virtually unavoidable. Unless you have crap cooling or OC your card you shouldn't have any issues with Starcraft 2. Most games your pressing your videocard as hard as you can during the normal gameplay.
  10. I am liking Masq
  11. You should go edit your old post because we'll read it first! XDF
  12. Name some then. I wonder what's your definition for the FedEx quest, as KotOR seem to be full of 'em. Maybe I'm wrong here, but FedEx is the "collect 20 shining bear asses" kind of quest, while your example is a Fetch quest. I'd refer to that as a "collection" quest. FedEx is about delivering an item (or MacGuffin if you will) somewhere. You may be given the item directly, or you have to go out and get it. A "collection" quest is basically a split FedEx quest.
  13. Yeah KOTOR has a lot in common with NWN too. Having said that, I like KOTOR more than NWN and ME (I liked all 3 though)
  14. Name some then. I have a feeling there isn't a point because you'd just rationalize that it's not. Since you already have done just this. In spite not playing the game in years Kashyyyk has a handful of them. Go get the blade. Go down and find my friends down below in the underlands (or whatever). Go retrieve the evidence to prove that some wookiee is evil. Etc. Aside from controls, KOTOR and Mass Effect are remarkably similar games too.
  15. Hahaha nice.
  16. Yeah but you don't think that KOTOR has Fedex quests
  17. My bet: It's lets players get an idea of how their character will play later on (by giving them more abilities) before wiping the slate and starting the actual game off. I doubt this "exaggerated" scene lasts more than a few minutes.
  18. No.. the sarcasm is the last statement.. the points I brought up were stated on blues. I'd bet money that he is wrong then. Outsourced? Right.
  19. What am I not seeing? I can sorta hear some singing but I can't make it out.
  20. I figured he meant he was being sarcastic about the entire post.
  21. I wonder if it would help if it was "flaired" up a bit. That is, while our turns our still played out individually, have extra ambient "attacks" that don't actually do anything simply for fluff? KOTOR "sorta" did this by having extra shots on top of the one that "counted" but maybe the idea could be refined a bit more?
  22. I'm too busy taking full advantage of my superior education to pay much attention.
