Sweet, I enjoyed that game. Hot vampire Toreado women are always a good idea

Its interesting but I never think what we talk about is depressing or heavy but I am unaware of how to distinguish between heavy and normal debate so people need to tell me in RL or I ask them " do you want to discuss politics " but I understand I have a blindness to this Anyway this is a very good thread..very cute

Sure you right...it is harmless , but its more the principle. I have an issue with associating with people who really think its okay to say " a good raping will sort her out " ...you see on the Codex that type of rhetoric is tolerated and that sometimes leads to people thinking that type of comment is acceptable outside the Codex.

Shame the poor Texans ...why is that? I think Texans are hardcore and cool but they wouldn't survive without the rest of the USA ..yes that means even you " liberal weed smoking people from Colorado " ...they need you, they just dont realize it I always find it interesting when I have met some Texans they seem to think Texas is not really part of the USA or it should go on its own. And coincidentally all the hunters I have met in South Africa have all been from Texas...but they were real men. They used longbows and knew how to track and survive in the wilderness..I admire that because I am a city person and know very little about the real wilderness

It made me smile that he specified "US Dollars". Homie don't want no TrillionyBilliony Zimbabwe dollars. Yeah, this kind of stuff irritates me. Theres no molehill that cant be made into a mountain. smh. I will tell you something else since its relevant. You get people who say " hunting is cruel...how can you do it " but unless you are vegan I consider it utterly hypocritically to judge hunting Have you ever been to an abattoir? Have you ever seen the fear and misery of animals as they are led to the slaughter or how battery chickens live ? So if a person objects to hunting based on the cruelty aspect then you need to stop eating all meat. Also in South Africa hunting is part of necessary culling...we need to hunt during the year to control the animal population. And if wealthy foreigners are prepared to pay good money to hunt this is even better

Interesting. If I read the Wikipedia entry correctly, that law was meant to regulate trade across state boundaries, and has in practice been expanded to punish the trade and import of protected species parts from other countries - but not the killing itself, which is the business of that other country. So I guess that agency wants to know if he took home a trophy... I also think the USA doesnt like getting this type of criticism..." rich white capitalist comes to Africa to kill our national resources " but trust me the whole thing is completely exaggerated and really misplaced concern as it does nothing to address the real problem

But there are tools that help you to merge stuff / create merge patches. Therefore, at least technically, you can run more than 255 mods. I'm too lazy/stupid to figure it out. Quite frankly I don't care a lot about Skyrim that I will learn new stuff for it or maybe I really haven't found a group of mods that I thought would really enhance the experience further. You're one weird SJW. Ah my friend you are making the same assumption about SJW that many people make...you are assuming we have all the same views and have this monolithic view around principles or objections Why wouldn't I find women like that appealing in a game ? I care about RL issues like homophobia, racism and sexism. I reject the idea that me finding an image of a women attractive or an interesting part of game somehow a contradiction to my core beliefs ...and trust me I am very comfortable with my view on this matter

That sounds like your typical dutch selection of Mods...nothing really inspirational hey ?

But people do tend to care more about the animals than other people. I remember reading several articles on this and will see if I can dig up links if anyone cares. I believe the order of precedence of ****s given is as follows 1. Human babies 2. Animal babies 3. Adult animals 4. Adult humans 5. Gwyneth Paltrow Also, I personally have no issues with hunting for food either but trophy hunting isn't something I can get behind Yes please try to find them, I have pondered this question and believe that the reason it appears that people care more about animals is that animals are defenseless and are part of the ecosystem and in the case of rhinos there really are a finite number of them. Also we care about rhinos and we care about impoverished people so I see no conflict But I'm interested what is your objection to trophy hunting?

Yeah that is no surprise, I don't doubt that game rangers living in Zimbabwe are genuinely upset but all the rhetoric from the Zim government is just anti-Western diatribe, false anger and as you said probably an attempt to get money from the USA But now you have all the hardcore anti-hunting groups lambasting and vilifying this dentist ...yet where were they when there was the mass death of all the other Zim animals due to government policy?

There is another side to this whole killing of Cecil In the interest of full disclosure I have no issue with legal hunting as I eat meat and venison which comes from hunting. But firstly Palmer claims he didn't know as he mentioned but now the Zimbabwe authorities have arrested the two trackers and are making a BIG deal about it, like really big. They are saying they want to implement some law to jail them for 10 years and are "appalled at the utter disregard this American has for the wildlife and sovereign wildlife of Zimbabwe" so this is going around some media circles as an attack on the USA But in South Africa we have been dealing with the extermination of our Rhino's for years ...and yet this is often seen as a " white issue " as it seems like " white people care more about rhino than indigent black people " and more importantly the actions of the Zimbabwean government over the last 13 years have led to game parks closing or being put under extreme financial pressure which has led to 80 % of the total population of animals in Zimbabwe that were on game parks dying http://time.com/3976344/cecil-lion-zimbabwe-walter-palmer/ So my point is the Zimbabwe government are the people really responsible for the mass death of its wildlife

The scope is what worries me, Cyberpunk with all of its classes and their inividual approaches dwarf the fairly one dimensional approach of Deus Ex, now how can they implement that: A Solo may play in a similar fashion to Jensen, but a Netrunner, an Executive, a Rock Star all have so many approaches that mandate different content as to make an almost dizzying variety. I foresee that they are either going to have to artificially funnel the player in some manner or make content that lacks the detail they usually bestow on their settings. If they can make all of the classes feel genuinely as different in approach as the tabletop game however, and make a narrative as detailed and personal as is present in the Witcher, then I think the game will probably set a new benchmark. It seems like a Herculean task however. Have faith young grasshopper, have faith " hope springs eternal in the human breast " and all that

I'm holding out hope that its a case of them listening to feedback from previous games. Lots of people complained about the first Witcher combat system being too "RPGey". Because CDP made the mistake of porting it to consoles the second game became more "actiony" and subsequently from that we get the gameplay flaws of the third one.Although I'm sure there were some technical or management issues because I read the design documents and I like their concept for the combat system that is nothing like what they implemented. Cyberpunk is being kept under wraps so I don't know what to think but i'm hoping that because it is an new IP that they have more freedom to work with. Although if they just rip off Deus Ex:HR with better graphics and animations i'm cool with that too. Orog you and Nonek are insighful guys but you are missing the obvious solution...they just need to remove all monsters from the game...therefore no more frustration

Nah, the difference in attitudes is more from one side of the hater/ fanboy continuum. If you went to the codex pre about 2007 you might get the impression that many hated Fallout 2 and BG2, but many also liked them. In general the same people still like them, the haters just hate them less. Which is understandable really, if you hated F2 because it was too silly or whatever you'd certainly have a far better target for your hate in F3, now, and that has quite logically shifted attitude to F2 as being at least less bad than F3. Of the new recent RPGs the vast majority of them have been well received (in general) by the codex: DivOS, Lords of Xulima, Serpent.., somewhat more equivocal for WL2. The only game that has taken a big hit is PoE and games that aren't really aimed at the codex at all like DAI, and many of the criticisms levelled at those two at the codex have been had elsewhere including here as well. For me I can accept that the Codex does have very informed and committed gamers, of course that in itself creates an issue as there a vibe of elitism but my main issue is the lack of moderation. The last time I went there to read a link there was a discussion about GG and there were a few people who were openly talking about rape as a solution to deal with feminists or something equally as offensive. And I'm sorry but I have major issues with any website that allows such flagrant sexism or other comments of bigotry It is simply not acceptable to me so the Codex will be missing out on my erudite views and informed opinions as I refuse to frequent its forums

Holy Smoke dude...that is the most Mods I have ever heard anyone using ...do you use adult mods Do body mods that have nudity count? There are a lot of good armor mods that have dependencies on those. Yes that would be considered Adult mods ...its funny how some people think adult mods are "weird " or " depraved " and I have never understood that view So take F:NV, here you have a guy crossing this post-apocalyptic world inhabited by mutants and Death Claws where he basically kills and loots from anyone he encounters. And finally he gets to New Vegas which is this bastion of civilization ....the reality of living in such a world would be quite depressing to most people so from a RP perspective my character always goes large which translates to visiting the brothel and letting off steam. And of course I expect full nudity and all the various activities that some of these adult mod offers ...its normal to me especially considering the reality of the world the protagonist lives in

Funny picture But Orog is obviously using hyperbole to make his point that you need to use Mods to make Skyrim enjoyable and or playable Eh, I don't know. 1) SkyUI 2) Unofficial patch 3) The one that puts roads on the map 4) - 255) Nothin' but Hentai I am playing The Banner Saga. Yes I agree, I'm not saying you need hundreds of mods to make Skyrim, Orog is saying that I believe ...I would typically use 20-30 and about 10 adult mods but most are just more about cosmetic changes and enhancing whats already there

Playing a role or character makes you a schizophrenic? Interesting stance, given the forums we're on... Barti do you think you are schizophrenic ? Gromnir is definitely not schizo

Generally I tend to think that the people on here give you an unnecessarily hard time, but I'm beginning to understand why they find you exasperating. I took from your comment that he was an embarrassment while fighting for social justice causes, not stuff that he did years ago. Okay ....dude...please. I'm kinda joking and kinda not, so I don't like Miles for the reasons I mentioned, thats true But I don't believe in a real anti-GG side, I don't prescribe to that. So I was joking when I said " dissent is tolerated " because I don't have any clue what the anti-GG thinks or what rules they follow So I was therefore joking when I said he was your role model Now after that am I still exasperating? If you prefer I can stop joking completely

What exactly did Mr Cheong do that could be considered an "embarrassment"? You really need to ask? http://theralphretort.com/the-stunning-hypocrisy-of-ian-miles-cheong/ Just to set the foundation.....you can't claim to care about SJ causes but you have the checkered past he has ....sorry I understand you feel the need to defend him....but I suggest you find other role models

Yes perfectly understandable....we need commitment, fortitude and resolve in the anti-GG movement .,.,...dissent isn't tolerated Why do you think its so effective and permeates so much of society Miles was an embarrassment..its good he is gone
