Its not as simple as that, the abstain vote came from countries that don't necessarily owe the USA anything. Like Germany, its not about obsequiousness Also the situation is complicated, the solution isn't just about ""okay Israel you are bad guys and the Palestinians are victims " so I imagine these types of votes need consideration

Details of Gameplay Each playthrough of the game will last between 4-6 in-game weeks, with content for each game day. This time was chosen to reflect the amount of time a German soldier was expected to stay on the front before being sent back into reserves. At the end of that time there will be multiple endings available, completely dependent on how you play the game, and then you will be sent back to the main menu, where you can play a "new game" with your stats, skills, and experiences completely reset, or you can play "new game +" with the same stats, skills, and experiences, making the game progressively harder on each playthrough. Planned Main Gameplay Elements: Dialogue with fellow soldiers Daily routine (i.e. guard duty, mail, equipment maintenance, deliveries) Battles with the French Dynamic, random events that play out differently depending on the player's previous actions and affect stats for Fritz and NPCs. Planned Atmospheric Elements: Soldiers with personality and stats Branching dialogue options Interactive character development that takes the stats and relationships of NPCs into account Skill development based on learning from NPCs Fritz's thoughts change and flash on the screen with events and stats Inventory (can be used by the player, or as gifts or bribes) Stats for illness, trauma, hunger, loneliness Letters to and from home, with care packages that affect stats All of the above dynamically integrated and dependent on the situation and the player's actions. Multiple endings Base Goal The game will be playable on PC and Linux. We will be creating 10 major NPCs (with fully fleshed-out storylines of their own and complex interaction with Fritz), and you will get the opportunity to interact with 3 of them per playthrough. There will also be 25 minor NPCs (who interact minimally with Fritz), of which there will be about 10 per playthrough. For combat, the player will either be shooting in a desperate charge across the battlefield or in close combat in the trench. The player can control the character in cardinal directions (WASD) and stand, crouch, or lie down. The shooting mechanic will be basic---aim with a crosshair and fire---but accuracy will be a challenge, as Fritz's aim and speed will be influenced by his stats and health. The game will feature at least three different interactive settings: the trench, the battlefield, and the hospital. There will be at least 21 different endings. Funding goal: $15,000 This game looks very intriguing, I don't think I have ever heard of a game that represents the German infantrymen in WW1?

Yeah I thought it was really strange to get so many likes so quickly considering the fact I generally don't get likes but then I saw they were mostly from you, now I just have to get to a point where you mean it

I'll be honest with you but there are several things with your post I don't like, I find it condescending and borderline sexist. I'll go into detail below. The reality is I don't think you meant to be offensive but that's how its coming across Why describe her as half-Asian, and then say you are not sure about her ethnicity ? Just say a female commentator like you would describe any male gaming reviewer Is it unusual for female gamers to play Mass Effect? What's unusual about that What is the definition of stripper makeup? Is this something that female gaming reviewers often wear? Do female gaming reviewers often wear revealing and tight clothes? What is your definition of doing everything " terribly right"... If there is a female gaming reviewer that is wearing tight clothes and makeup does this automatically mean we should dismiss her perspective? Does this mean we don't take what they say seriously because they happen to be really attractive? Do we only take female gaming reviewers seriously if they don't dare display there sexuality or are confident as females and what they choose to wear?

I think this combat video looks excellent and exciting, I'm not sure what you guys are complaining about?

I do enjoy the theatre so that's also a good suggestion if we can get the right booking

I really enjoy visiting markets and partaking of all the good food and the general market vibe. So I'll keep those suggestions in mind

Did they not flop with Watch Dogs, especially with that whole E3 graphics fiasco. Plus I still can't forgive them for what they are planing to do with PoP franchise. If Watch_Dogs is the worst game you play this year then you had a damn great gaming year. That is all I am going to say about that. As for the topic.... there is plenty of room for both games to have crafting and strongholds and both games to still be good. They aren't competing with each other to begin with and I think people need to understand and be honest about that. The hardcore RPG fan is also probably going to buy both regardless of which one they think is "better" over all. Don't forget the wolf in the room either... Witcher 3 which has no stronghold but will be a serious contender for RPG of the year. I agree with this sentiment completely, good post And I also think that the Witcher 3 is going to be epic

Those are some excellent suggestions, thanks Monte. Advice from people living in London is what I was hoping for because you have real and updated insight. I forgot about the whole market culture in London so I'll add those to my list

I haven't ever been to Scotland and I would love to. But its unlikely I'll go this trip as there is so many things in London, and the surrounding area I plan to do

Those are good suggestions, thanks Indira. There are several English pubs that I plan to go to. " shout out your social justice at Speaker's Corner" ..

I can't agree more but I don't know how effective discussions in London around SJ issues will be with strangers? I don't really have the time to be very convincing

Sup All On Friday I'm leaving for London for a week for a birthday holiday. My family has a flat in Chelsea and I'll be staying there for a week. I haven't been to the UK for a holiday in about 12 years so I'm obviously super excited. I am looking for ideas for things to see and do. I'm planning on doing all normal tourist things like the new War Museum, Madame Tussauds, Tower of London etc. But any other suggestions for a good day trip would be appreciated Thanks

I guess the common argument is that Hamas claims to represent the aspirations of the Palestinians yet there strategies lead to loss of Palestinians lives, so from my perspective there political agenda is more important that the lives of the people they claim to represent? Which is why I cannot take them that seriously

There are certain RPG I have never played before and Jade Empire is one of them. I want to play it and soon because people talk about it fairly regularly. Do you recommend it?

Yes RPG maker does count, as far as I'm concerned any coding or modding experience matters when it comes to a persons personal exposure to this type of work Thanks for sharing your Mod history, I would consider you someone who is definitely experienced and I look forward to your perspective when it comes to PoE and whether it is feasible to create Mods Oh without a doubt BG2 is also my favourite RPG of all time, Throne of Bhaal was my most entertaining RPG ever but I consider that part of BG2

I have never created a romance mod before, but I do have some experience modding. I have also read a lot of literature and do some writing as a hobby. Combining my mod abilities and my writing skills shouldn't be too challenging. That said; I'm not an expert on the unity engine. It could be a while before a mod made by me comes out for poe. That's very interesting, what games have you created Mods for? The reason I ask is I don't really know any Modders personally who create Mods for games I play and I'm interested in how long a Mod takes and how much work is involved? I know this is a very broad question as it obviously depends on the type of Mod. But if you don't mind maybe you can share the logistics and timelines around a Mod you have been involved in? I love using Mods and I have huge respect for people who are prepared to spend there personal time enhancing a game for the benefit of others.

Stumbling across this zambambo thread, it's not a matter of spelling so much as tone (like a pro wrestler,) and punctuation (ending every other sentence with more than one period.) Unfortunately (that's a lie, being younger puts me that much closer to cybernetic immortality,) I'm too young to have been around for the golden age to which you are referring. RPing is one thing, ending half your sentence fragments with three or more periods is just incessant. As I have mentioned to you before its not as incessant as people who feel the need to correct peoples grammar and spelling on a gaming website

I am back sooner than I expected. I also want to apologize for posting something a little depressing on a happy thread. Earlier while I was reading the thread something occurred and in a moment of foolishness I let my problem be the thread's problem. My bad; I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I like you, I'm glad you are still active on the forums, yaaaaaaaaaaay Anyone who can sit through several of our Romance debates and still be civil and offer constructive comments has the type of equanimity that is nothing short of impressive and is the type of personality we really want on these forums

@ Namutree I meant to ask you this earlier, I see you mentioned you are a Modder? I may have misunderstood you Have you created Romance Mods before ?

This kind of excitement is infectious

You being a naughty boy now, you said you weren't going to do this?

This has also been a point of contention and annoyance for me. We know all Romance is optional but people act they are being forced to partake. And trust me I have heard the counterpoint to this, its "but we don't want resources committed to Romance when they can be spent on other things in the game, so I still don't want Romance even if its optional " Oh welcome to the forums If you want to be entertained wait till Hiro and Lephys start debating later on, its unlike anything you have ever seen before

Nice. I watched as far as character creation, then as soon as the game proper began I turned it off immediately. I definitely liked what I saw out of character creation, though. That's interesting, you also don't want to ruin the surprise....but it was hard to stop watching?

Only if that arc happens to be: looking for love in allll the wrong places. Since, you know, there are no romances in PoE. But that's my point, what if Obsidian just said that so when we do find out there is Romance its a completely unexpected surprise ?
