  1. Just finished Divinity 2 expansion - Flames of Vengeance. No sure what made me go through it as that part of the new game edition is a mess. I'll never understand what drove the developers to remove everything that showed promise in the original campaign.
  2. Eventually it will - it always does, when millions of voices demand to be heard. That's a very optimistic outlook. Countries like Saudi Arabia show that wealth and modernization of society does not necessarily lead to a rise in democratic tendencies.
  3. Of course you can melee Deathclaws. It just takes few perks and a sensible weapon. In fallout 1&2 it required a power armor but now that it is meaningless it easier than ever. I watched a friend of mine melee a deathclaw to death in FO1 with a knife and the leather jacket. Which one? The respawning ones near gun runners would kill player in 2 criticals and attacked up to 3 times per turn so that would take plenty reloads for sever criticals to occur. If you mean the quest releated one in hub then he was wounded at start IIRC.
  4. Do you have any idea what "pax romana" involved? Today societies are a lot lighter on institutional enslavement, crucifixion and massacres. If it's safe anywhere to voice negative opinions of Japan then it's in China. Given their history there seems little love lost between those countries. Said protesters are much less likely to suffer legal repercussions for attacking Japanese than the woman in question for making fun of them.

  6. As for the DLC. I was hoping for something more interesting. You'll notice that funcroc post was edited. But I agree that the DLC doesn't sound all that intresting. Survival rarely provides tension in a free-travel add on and the capture part practically screams equipment loss at start.
  7. Still no word as to who develops?
  8. Best: Betrayal at Krondor Worst: Divinity 2
  9. Diablo 3 to grace consoles? IMO sounds more like a sipn off than a straight port.
  10. Simple - he wants New Vegas. He admits it himself that for all the territory he captured the legion still lacks a capital. Apparently building one (like a proper tyrant) is out of a question. In the end even tho he belives NCR is doomed he will fight it for New Vegas for the same reason NCR entred the area - greed. Except Caesar says nearly none of that. All he believes is that it is inevitable for NCR to fall and legion to triumph due to superior morality. There never seems to be any further planning on his part. For legion to be ideologically opposed to NCR it would need to have an ideology. All that legion is presented in game is a martial society with absolute rule. And if the in-game situation is a form of analogy to ancient battles between Greece and Rome then it's a very poor one. To buy it you would need to believe that Greek influence irrevocably poisoned roman civilization but need to wait 1500 years for it to fall. The biggest problem with the legion is that it builds no civilization at all. In essence they are a nomadic army carving an empire that will have absolutely no basis for existence save for the savagery of it's warriors. Civilization is far more than armies, but we see no laws or institutions in the legion. Nor is there any evident building of infrastructure. Ancient roman legions spent good deal of time building roads - do you honestly see Legate Lanius inspecting someone
  11. Good question. Supposedly he want to create a moral civilization. The irony that he conquers out of greed - the one thing he despises in NCR ,seem completely lost on him.
  12. lol I wonder what's the funny part? Did I miss some obvious solution (very hard / hardcore) ? I didn't put any points on speech or barter. Ceasar was dead (I chose "do Ceasar still give you orders from beyond the grave") and battle couldn't be avoided. I'm buffeded with med-x, slasher, psycho and wear light armor (whole game in light armor to make sneaking optimal). Boss does power attack and I fall down (getting up takes long time and this was the only encounter where I'd hit the dirt). At this point there's at least 3-5 adds (tough legionares). Boss moves much faster then my Agi 5 character. And has huge amount of health. What level were you and did you make a stealth oriented character? Final bosses are immune to sneak and without higher level weapons they can hardly be hurt at all.
  13. Sadly developing the technology to exploit such result is not nearly so straightforward. It is doubtful we will see practical application of this research in our lifetimes. I think I know this answer. It didnt melt everything because it is contained within a magnetic field, much like the prototype fusion reactor do. I doubt that's necessary. Such results are extremely short lived.
  14. Isn't there a WoD MMO in production?
  15. Those are games shipped. Bioware numbers may be tracking games sold.
  16. To me the legion feels more like evil opposition you are allowed to join rather than a real faction. But that may be because I expected a great personality from Caesar and was seriously disappointed.
  17. =11Now that
  18. There's plenty of younger gamers and casual gamers to make up for the loss though. Financially, you can't condemn Bioware for courting the kiddies and the soccer moms. That's where the money is. While that may be the case as Nintendo found out with Wii - it still is beneficial to maintain a group of dedicated fans, if only for their predictability. Whether Bioware build a new following that will complain in a decade how ME2 was their high point is impossible to tell.
  19. not in my book it wasn't. That AND you may be shocked to learn that there are people who really liked BG2 but have no interest in DA2. At least not as an RPG game. Whatever good will Bioware had among older gamers may be slowly coming to an end.
  20. I must have that bug then, because I've killed him twice in daylight while he just stands near the rock going 'heh heh' to himself. I shoot him once and he attacks, I kill him, take his note, done. Having ED-E with you seems to break this quest.
  21. Given game mechanics they could barley scratch them. It gets even worse with legion supposedly defeating them with machetes. Yes, and given game mechanics, water heals gunshots. Game mechanics are not the setting's reality. Indeed and using common sense that outcome is even more absurd. Unless you are willing to believe that 2000 years of weapon and armor development can be completely discounted.

  23. After a week or so your companion should automatically return to some pre-determined location. You'll get a message when it happens.
  24. You can try "player.moveto rex" assuming he still is in a valid area.
