Its a little more complex than that, I like to take the exact same party with me. I enjoy the feeling of familiarity and interaction And because at the end of BG2:TOB there was that summary of what happened to all the characters playing something like SoD would lack that sense of excitement So in fact I would be annoyed if my original party members were dropped or not included But I would definitely play a BG3

Hang on. So you bought the game and now you're not going to play it because the ending has already been determined? No I haven't bought it yet Also I dont mean I know how SoD ends I mean I know how the final game ends in BG2 ...it probably sounds like a weird criticism but I just dont like prequels or chapters of a story that come out after the original saga

When are you going to play it? as I said, I'd be interested to know if you're going to do a run through the base game and then into SoD. As well as what companions you had in the base game and how you found the transition. eg. Depending on what companions you have, they disappear into thin air after the first dungeon in SoD. BG2 : TOB was the greatest RPG I have ever played but the issue I have with SoD is I dont like playing games where I know how its going to end So if SoD was set after BG2 then I would play it because the end is undetermined

I dont think there is such a thing as a " SJW Game " ....what exacty would that entail. Imagine someone developing a game where the main hero is a Dwarf, transgender, Muslim with extreme Communist leanings and the objective is to rescue Anita from the clutches of this insidious organisation called the Bigotry Boys (BB) I haven't played this game yet ....you guys have put me off it

Thats what I thought....you cant name any

What's been happening in Venezuela the last few decades is quite complex, and certainly what's been going on to hurt Venezuela is a bit more than Chavez's policies.There's been little in the western media about the nation other than to demonize Chavez. One should ask themselves why Chavez (or anyone for that matter ever) is demonized. That said, Chavez wasn't perfect (ie: he was a socialist and I'm no fan of socialism) but he did have his nation's best interests at heart much more than almost any current western leader does. That counts for more than a little in a world where most nations' leaders (and most major candidates who ever run to be leader) are at the end of puppet strings of globalist bankers, et al. Oh, I liked Chavez. I probably would have voted for him back in the day had I been Venezuelan. After seeing the Oliver Stone documentary on all the Chavista leaders being elected across South America in protest against US influence I really thought he was a good guy, and he very well may have been. But the policies he put in place have lead to a complete economic collapse in Venezuela, and its looking like hyperinflation. My turn to the right has only happened recently, but seeing Venezuela fall so far is one of the reasons I did so. Had Chavez been the head of state with a more right leaning head of government handing domestic issues I think he definitely would have been remembered fondly. Oerwinde the issue with leaders like Chavez is he relied on the high Oil price for a decade or so to drive social transformation programs and his own interpretation of socialism But it was an illusion, a facade. Its the same reality that Putin faces....any country must diversify its economy. You can cannot just rely on commodity exports

LOL. I'm not in a huff at all. Sounds like you are. Also, as I said which you obviously missed, I wouldn't list a whole heap of games not relevant to BG because you know, that would be irrelevant. And not responding to me? So it's okay for you to respond to me when I'm responding to others but when I do it to you... you're saying I'm all in a huff. Hiro forget any previous comments, cant you just name a couple of SJW games? There must be so many now

Correct. Now here is the problem. As the Secretary of State every e-mail she sends in the performance of her duties becomes the property of the United States Government the instant she hits "send". Every correspondence involving the business of the United States is subject to oversight by the Congress and appropriate law enforcement agencies, as well as FOI requests once the appropriate time has passed. But the e-mails on her private server that she has ADMITTED she used for the business of the United States are beyond the reach of the agencies of the government that they BELONG to. And when she was directed to produce those messages, she deleted them. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/27/politics/hillary-clinton-personal-email-server/ Do you see the problem here Bruce? The reason she used a private e-mail server to do the business of the United States was so she could do so in secret. What do you suppose she was trying to hide? She is not stupid. She knows who her e-mails belong to. Good Lord it was explained to me on my first day of work at my job that every e-mail I send, every study I write, every notebook page I put my pen to immediately becomes the property of the State of TN. If the lowest ranking engineer from the TDEC understands this don't you think the Secretary of State of the United States does? So, what us she trying to hide? Because there can be no other logical explanation. Now, the classified information thing I told you to forget a moment ago... add that back in. Now where are we? Okay I see your concern, its not unreasonable

Clearly Vals measurement of a good leader is someone who drives the economy of country into the ground .....makes sense

Well there are numerous reasons for having your own email server, for example if you wanted to use a gmail or yahoo account and not use the resources of a company you work for you could use a private server or you can setup your own private domain with your own SMTP address...and you would want to do this because it could be personal emails not government emails you sending What are your reasons ? You are evading or misunderstanding my question. Why do you think Hillary Clinton used a private e-mail account to conduct State Department business? She has admitted she has done this much. Why do YOU think she would do that? Well she may have just been familiar with using her private address, yes in principle she should use her government email to discuss anything related to the department but if someone gets an email from Hilary Clinton from her private email why wouldn't they respond normally ? So it could have been a bad habit A person could also use a private email if they want less accountability around what they want to say or any instructions or discussions they may have and they dont want an official email trail or monitoring. Obviously any email sent from an official US email server would be under scrutiny

No the two examples are not suppose to be similar but the principle is similar So despite my criticism of Trump much of the really negative things he has says I can't say " he knew this was going to happen " ...its the same as I can say about Clinton " you cannot say she intentionally broke the law "

Geez, can you move the goal posts any further? So If I list a whole list of SJW games released in 2016 not related to BG, that somehow proves my point? Not that I would do that because it's irrelevant to BG. Just like all the games you listed aren't relevant to BG. I would love to see your list of SJW games?

Yeah that would be a little controversial if the FBI chief resigned ....imagine if he just vanished, that would be even worse

Yeah, the whole article is worthless spin. Unnamed, anonymous US officials say "no evidence that Hillary wilfully broke the law" is not the same as "no evidence that Hillary broke the law, at all". Pro Clinton people will say there won't be charges right up until the point the issue is actually decided publicly, that's just the nature of being pro Clinton. "Willfully broke the law" sounds like lawyer-speak. You can probably twist and turn it depending on the level of accountability involved. Well the article cannot be considered " worthless spin " if the FBI decides she has no charges to face, in fact to suggest the legal outcome of this whole incident is just spin is a pointless comment because the whole outcome was " would she be charged " But also guys of course there is a difference between someone who knows they breaking the law and someone who may not be aware that there behavior is illegal ? It reminds me of the numerous times I have said things like " Trump is responsible for the level of violence and protests at his rallies ".....but I cannot say with certainty that Trump actually expected this outcome and many of you guys feel he should not feel responsible at all So back to Hilary, I dont believe she thought she was doing anything illegal, I'm not sure if any of the FBI findings will become available for public scrutiny so this entire debate is very subjective as it really depends on how you view her So then if we have no way to see the real evidence then surly we need to trust the FBI has investigated this case and made a fair finding 1. I'll wait for the report to be concluded and an official announcement from FBI. 2. As i have pointed out before, it doesn't matter when an elected official or someone holding public office does something willfully or not. They are accountable either way and that's when the lawyers step in. And if the lawyer steps in and the legal process finds them innocent....do we now accept that? So who is the final arbiter when it comes to apparent wrong doings by any politicians ?

Why what am I missing? And I haven't read the books but its suppose to be an RPG so does it really matter if I dont stick to the original Witcher themes?

Yes I agree...the cards were just a bad design idea But now the whole Romance arcs in W3 are more realistic and believable and take time to develop ...I do sorry for Geralt on some levels. He find Yen his true love (?) and she promptly sends him on this hectic quest...what about the " lovvvvvvvvvve " Yen? In my game I have just met up with Triss...she rocks, she is very awesome. If I was Geralt I would settle down with her

We've done that already here: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/63035-family-issues/?hl=%2Bfamily+%2Bissues lol, fair enough. Back to topic though, the Trump phenomenon is a simple reaction to demographic and economic changes that has occured the last 40 years (globalism vs. nationalism) in the US and western world at large and it will not disappear by labeling him on an "ism" and call it a day, as those accusations are superfluous compared to the problems arised. You raise some interesting points So lets say I agree with you...what exactly is Trump going to do to to address this " demographic and economic changes that has occured the last 40 years " Please give specific examples of what you expect to see

Volo....please lets go over this again, Trump is very sexist Must I post the whole Megyn Kelly video again?

You also live in a place where "ethnic" violent crime is unusual. Where you live most crime has an economic motive. It's a little bit of a different story when a insular ethnic group begins comitting violent crimes and the police are ordered to back off and let it happen. The order is not in those many words but the outcome is the same. The problem here is that when criminal behavior is not punished and steps are not taken to prevent it from law enforcement which is supposed to be dispassionate it will be done by the "people" who cannot be dispassionate. Then the ugly things like blaming all immigrants for the crimes of a few start to happen. I haven't looked into it much, but are these Sons of Odin types really even forming in communities that have a lot of immigrants or Muslims? I mean, neo-nazi groups tend to form in places that are predominantly white and poor. Are they a neo-nazi group? They claim they aren't. The only proof I saw in that article that they are is that some of it's members are KKK and Neo-nazis. And so, that makes it somewhat better? They are a hate group. Period. Trump's words are xenophobic and sexist. He is a narcissist pig who cares more about building his brand than responsible governance or debate. He is the least qualified presumptive major party nominee for the office of the President and his very candidacy is bringing out the worst in America to come out of the woodwork --inspiring hate groups that explicitly target minorities with real and tangible threats. I agree with this and as I keep mentioning he isn't great for how the US is perceived by people overseas ( and yes I know most of you guys in the US say you dont care what foreigners think but its a global world and these things do matter on some levels and around certain geopolitical realities )

Inclusiveness... iirc Bioware also offered a Goat in 'The Peal' Yeah, I remember those collectible cards. I haven't completed a Witcher game since the first one. Wonder why? I must still get into Gwent in W3

So...we do realize that game developers aren't exactly buying into the whole political correctness movement, right? The Witcher 3 didn't exactly sacrifice all the boob action from the first game, and it sold extremely well. You still get to kill all sorts of different types of people in shooters, etc. 2) devs are from east Europe, we here don't bait into that SJW concept here much, its just catering to US marked where it exploded lately You funny I still think you view this whole " SJW influence " in an unnecessarily negative way

Sorry to hear that TN I hope everything works out

Thats a long video but I think I will watch it, thanks for the link But just to be clear can you explain what you mean by "anarcho-capitalist "..what exactly does this ? He believes that the state should be replaced with voluntary private corporations serving the free market, Which just sounds like nonsense to me. You would essentially have competing private police forces all enforcing their own laws, competing private judiciaries. It would be like if large population centres operated like the old American West. Oh wait a minute...who are referring to when you say anarcho-capitalist " Do you mean me or Stefan Molyneux?
