  1. I really doubt becoming a suicide bomber is considered a career choice in those societies. And opportunities to become doctors and lawyers are not that common even in western democracies.
  2. Now that could get problematic. I don't revisit inventory often but some of my friends do it all the time.
  3. They've updated their FAQ. It says the game supports 16:9, 16:10, and 4:3. Yes. Native, non-native and letterbox respectively.
  4. It was handed out for free as a part of some promotion.
  5. I guess this was to be expected since they didn't streamline them enough in Oblivion/Fallout3. But how can they hope to maintain alchemy/enchanting without them? Majority of magic effects in Oblivion resulted in increase/lowerinf of stats. Doesn’t seem like they could work similarly with perks. This probably means the end of SPECIAL for Fallout.
  6. Apparently the game will support only 16:9 aspect ratio. Other resolutions will get black bars. Anyone else find it hilarious that after all the emphasis CDP placed on graphics and supporting the PC platform they messed up something so simple?
  7. So it's not all social perceptions. And through medieval period it was punished by burning at the stake. Not the best example to make an argument. Biological diffrences if willing. For unwilling cases a combination of social/personal factors and peer presurre.
  8. I'd say that a system that doesn't need a separate overlay for judging proper cover location would be an improvement. Not to mention actually do the hiding faze automatically in response to being shot at. Civ 5 TB combat is a poor example as it quickly resulted in players winning wars with 30 to 1 unit loss ratio. TB systems in general tend to be deeply flawed and confusing to newer players. If you really want to hate the ja2 remake just wait for the presentation of the strategic layer. You can already see vehicles on the tactical map that would make a major strategic resource in ja2. Something tells make that
  9. For a beta that doesn't look half bad. But that
  10. Shouldn't that also mention non-combat skills? Somebody posted a screenshot showing intimidation on a character sheet.
  11. Geohot settles with Sony The terms are of course confidential but it seems that hackers donating to the defense fund were hoping for a different outcome. EDIT:Seems the terms didn't stay secret for long. Most seem to be generic "you shall not hack anything Sony ever again" agreements. No sign of a big paycheck conspiracy theorists were imagining.
  12. The days of such complexity are long gone. Have you actually seen modern gamers trying to play thief? It's not pretty. I'm currently playing Darksiders. It's generally ok for a mindless game but tries too hard to be too many things at once.
  13. No it's not. That modern games have abused the term to pretend action games have more depth doesn't mean that the essence of what is an RPG experience can be discounted completely. RPGs were never about levels and XP points but about the way metric were used to describe world and character that shaped your experience. If your reflexes and manual dexterity played as big a role as those metrics the game was called action-rpgs if they were far more important it was simply an action game. Analogically tactical-rpgs and strategy games were determined by the weight of your tactical and strategic decisions. Whatever will RPG mean when devs finally rebrand it is more difficult to ascertain but considering the current trend "there are numbers in it" will likely suffice.
  14. Could you give source for this? Would love to see fort battles remodeled and some improvements to unit behavior but it does seem a little late.
  15. Too bad they didn't mention pancreas cancer. I'd love to find out how many people here are looking forward to experiencing some of the worst pain known to modern medicine. Marijuana may be a bad example. It is after all most commonly smoked.
  16. If you can tell it's a woman then it's not really realistic.
  17. There's huge numbers of enemies to be sure but I never found it grindy in a mmorpg way. It's just the gameplay style. I do think it would be a difficult play for anyone who is used to DA or ME or even Oblivion. Plus there is the party combat from a first-person viewpoint which I think would be really offputting to a gamer who didn't grow up with the style when it was common. my first crpg was fallout in 1997 (at which time it became my favorite game and spawned my love of the crpg). I see that M&M 6 came out in 1998, the same year as baldurs gate, so it cant be THAT archaic right? It can. Some dungeons in game may actually need days to clear providing you won't hit respawn time by the time your done. Add to that the seriously unbalanced spells - if you miss the right magic path you can screw yourself permanetly. In short - there is a reason why M&M and Wizardry series died out. Besides there are better candidates for seeing older WRPG more in line with standards Fallout/BG would later establish - you can check the likes of Dark Sun, Realms of Arkania or even Betrayal duology. They are a little older tho and it can be felt on the graphic/UI front.
  18. Now that is intresting as apparently no base was given to the cells before they started forming the eye. Let's just hope that it won't end up like the "regrowing teeth with stem cells" idea.
  19. I'm not removing any agency from women merely questioning the outlook that they partook in combat. That you need a separate list to name a handful over the course of a 1000 years and multiple cultures should make it clear enough how exceptional occurrence it was for a woman to have a commanding role in warfare. We can easily surmise that participation in actual fighting was equally rare.
  20. I'm sorry but what makes you think that this is a major issue for female gamers? AFAIK there have been attempts to change some questionable character models in MMO games but devs relented supposedly after protests form women themselves. And dose arguing this issue from the perspective of reality or practicability really makes sense? Most of the problematic character design assume the existence of female warriors in the first place. That alone is already questionable enough to break immersion in the all-too-common pseudo-medieval settings.
  21. Anonymous attacks Sony over PS3 hacking lawsuits Not sure how it helps the case of people they are supposedly defending.

    Libya

    Similar case could be made for Castro and Cuba. There doesn't seem to be much improvement following handing down of power.
