Wow, I just win with you hey Hiro. You didn't need to set the record straight as I explained I was wrong and I realized you were serious about the discussion of homophobia in Uganda.

Thankfully the menacing dog was not interested in our cargo, Wowzers...that must have been nerve-wracking Imagine if they had found all that crystal you were keeping for the evitable road trip partying that comes later

Ah okay. So you basically jump to conclusions. And if you're not sure, you immediately think I'm trolling? Nice little judgemental admission you made there. And homophobia in Uganda? WTF? Where did that come from? I mean, wow. just wow. And where have I been dismissive of homophobia in Uganda? I never have. But nice trying to suggest I was. Looking at the Uganda thread, I was calling you out on you downplaying corrective rape in South Africa. You said it wasn't common. I responded and linked an article which suggests it does seem to be common and after a page or two of going back and forth, you finally admitted and said, "Corrective rape happens in South Africa, the article is correct". I know you're nationalistic about South Africa and always want to jump on the bandwagon on how progressive South Africa is but when someone posts something that's terrible in your country, you shouldn't be all 'oh that's not common' and downplay it. That's just an insult to all those women who are effected by it. And it wasn't me that brought up corrective rape in the thread. I was responding to your downplaying of the issue to another poster. So when I asked questions in this thread like wouldn't it be better to ask women on how women are portrayed in games, you immediately think I'm trolling? Which is why it took so many posts with your dodging and weaving and avoiding the question for you to finally answer the question. Perhaps it's best to not immediately think people are trolling and just answer questions when they are very simple questions. Only one person (Orogun01) answered the question about Obsidian taking pointers from Bioware and going down the route that Bioware has done and I can certainly understand Orogun01's concerns for Obsidian not to do Bioware style rpgs. But then it's just easy for some to troll my posts like AGX-17 has done, eh. My friend you are very defensive. I said "I thought " you were being dismissive about the rise of homophobia in Uganda. That means I was wrong But no I didn't think you were trolling in this thread which was why I responded. But the reality is people outside of me do think you troll sometimes which is why they don't always respond in the way you expect. This is the perception that exists for some and answers your questions where you asked "why can't people answer a simple question " Don't shoot the messenger for giving you a possible explanation to your question

Good post Op My Pro's Its a new fantasy game so we will see some changes to the standard usage of your classic D&D ruleset. Obsidian are very skilled at creating games in known fantasy worlds and because its a new IP they will have more latitude at being innovative in how the new fantasy world is designed All the new monsters, new lands to explore and all the lore to understand The narrative, how can we not be excited about the story and what PoE will be about. I love the thought of being part of some epic journey I am looking forward to interacting with my party members and learning there stories My Cons No Romance No Romance No Romance No Romance No Romance

It's a troll rating, for the quality of your troll post. You're getting better, 7/10 might get trolled again. In that case. 0/10 for your troll post. Considering I was asking a serious question. And another poster who doesn't answer simple questions. No idea why people find it so hard to answer simple questions. Bioware sells games with their type/style of rpg. They're quite successful at it. To be honest there is something about your posting style where I also don't think you are being serious at times. Its not all the time but there have been examples where I thought you were trolling, like the rise of homophobia in Uganda and I thought you were being dismissive of the issue. And I'm not sure exactly what it is so I can't say "its how you ask questions" but you do create the perception of trolling. Anyway going forward I am going to assume you are always serious so you and I won't have this misunderstanding again

That's an interesting perspective and worth noting. We sometimes discuss how Russia wants to annex East Ukraine, but maybe the economic consequences of them doing that are something that actually is the reason they don't?

our recollection is that regardless o' how well you treat her, isabella will betray your trust in chapter 2. she takes advantage o' some chaos to abscond with some kinda book, yes? so yeah, becoming more untrustworthy is a kinda growth. sure, you can get her to do a kinda redemption thing, but that nonsense were pretty darn silly too. HA! Good Fun! She did betray me but through the Desire demon and so did the someone else ( I can't remember who) but I forgave her and she became a committed member of the party and a valuable addition in combat

I agree with you and the post above, when I first started going to strip clubs I fell for the whole " I'm actually putting myself through university "story. And I tried to help several girls who didn't really need help but thought they could create a deeper connection with me if they positioned there situation in a certain way Nowadays when I go to strip clubs I treat the girls well and with respect, pay them what they ask for and make sure I don't get into discussions that are too deep. But the reality is many strippers do come from a dysfunctional background but I definitely don't judge them

No her clothing was fine ....perfect actually Personally, i haven't met a single stripper or even a prostitute in real life with such uh, loose clothing or hedonistic attitudes. But on the other hand, i haven't been to any third-world country yet, so who knows. Come to South Africa and I'll take you to places where that's exactly what the ladies wear #socialjustice You getting cheeky again young man I am not going to deny a women a job as a stripper if that's what she wants or pass judgement on her because of how she wants to make money. I believe in gender equality and people being able to choose there own professions. That's true social justice

I'm havin a hard time following your logic here. If you kept her out of the party, how can you comment on the writer's achievements? Isabella occupied the Rogue position in party during the first act for several major quests. Every banter involved sex in some way and there was never any indication that there was more to her than being a slampig. Yeah, this confirms that you clearly didn't understand her character or didn't bother to read her dialogue options

Wow you guys are really dismissive of Isabella, I'm sorry you misunderstood her character that badly

Gorgon, I said this in the past and all the pro-Putin members on this forum dismissed it but Putin didn't want to escalate the conflict because of the punitive economic steps taken against Russia. Wars are just too expensive to fight for a country like Russia and I don't blame them for backing down. They had the capability to invade Ukraine and I doubt the West would have intervened militarily but the sanctions would have got more extreme Sanctions do work and can be implemented to avoid military conflict

It's a troll rating, for the quality of your troll post. You're getting better, 7/10 might get trolled again. What double standard? Can you precisely point out where I A) said I didn't like Isabella, and specifically stated it was because of her sexuality and B) praised a man for having had sex with too many women to count such that he has acquired all known STDs and only has months to live due to the syphilitic abscess in his brain? Because if you could, it would go a long way toward making your post approach the borderline keeping it well within the realm of invalid ad hominem. And don't make up some fallacy like "Isabella only has sex with men to use them to further her own grand ambitions, showing how foolish men are and how brilliant women are for taking advantage of all the resources at their disposal" because it's very blatantly stated that Isabella just ****s attractive people because she wants to. She's a hedonist, not some kind of entrepreneur building a mercantile empire spanning the seas, one blown load at a time. <===Isabella would almost certainly laugh at that one. Her own friends in the game make jokes about the same subject. The game's writers of her make jokes about the same subject in her dialogue (the itching.) Or are you saying she couldn't possibly have any venerial disease after copulating with uncountable numbers of people she doesn't know (on a whim, at that,) in a world where condoms don't exist? I have to be honest but nothing you are saying makes me think less of her even if it was all true. And as I said the STD aren't an issue because they can be cured

http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/25/world/europe/ukraine-crisis/index.html Wow this is interesting, the Russian parliament revoked the right to use troops in Ukraine This is good news and reduces the risk of the conflict spreading

True dat

Would you consider yourself a verbose person?

My bad, it seems I did misunderstand your criticism. But I don't think STD would be an issue as they have magic which I'm sure can cure that type of ailment?

I've never played any FF games, what would you recommend for the PC. I like an interesting fantasy RPG setting

No, no, it's always. We started wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Gulf, Panama, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya... Oh wait... But in the end it was for their own good, right? I knew it !!! I always suspected that Serbia was behind all those conflicts, working surreptitiously to manipulate the USA in doing its nefarious and diabolical bidding. People talk about the Illuminati but I say nay, we should be really concerned with the Serbinati, they are real and powerful and there influence permeates all aspects of our society...and you have confirmed it !!!

Cats hunt - its what they do. They're obligate carnivores and as they can't produce etinol, taurine, and arachidonic acid IIRC and they have to get it from the flesh, organs and/or bones or prey. Or cat food. But while you can take the animal hunting out of the cat food, you can't take the animal hunting instinct out of the cat. But murder is murder, and what about the long term psychological consequences when Kitty realizes all the lives that he/she has ended? Just because Kitty is an animal this needs to be considered...don't you think? So you're suggesting that cats abstain from hunting... ...and thus go blind and die because they can't synthesize proteins they need from eating plants? And what about plant murder? Why is that bird okay to save, but not the grass. WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE GRASS? Yeah we should consider the feelings of grass, good point I am quite sure Bruce was joking. I certainly hope so! I am joking but obviously not about Pet Psychics and Pet Psychologists, they really exist and people utilize there services

You missed the beginning, Austria-Hungary invaded(annexed) Bosnia. What do you think Franz Ferdinand was doing in Sarajevo, where Princip offed him. Sarex why do you Serbs always want to start world wars?

Okay but I thought you didn't particularly enjoy discussing these issues?
