Holy Smoke, I don't know who Darquel is but I saw his\her post count and its an impressive number. Clearly a veteran of the forums

I get it, I also don't know the difference between the 2 games as I don't own a console. But the real point is " who cares about those 2 games, if they aren't on PC they dead to me " !!!!

Would bang, probably wouldn't call back. She is hot but I found it painful watching with her utter lack of understanding of politics or her perception of all the terrible things Obama has done.

Even if he did give evidence, what would be the point - you wouldn't believe it anyway. Malc I'm hurt that you would suggest such a thing, you know me... I do change my mind and agree with people. Produce the evidence and I'll review it and then get back to you http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/18/ukranian-tv-beaten-up-far-right-parliament_n_4988366.html http://nsnbc.me/2014/03/19/kiev-inspects-russia-for-alleged-military-buildup-while-escalating-violence-crimea-snipers-kill-2/ (read the part about Alexander Mamaj) http://rt.com/news/ukraine-kharkov-radicals-attack-982/ Took me a full five minutes to dig that up. How's that blindfold working out for you? I think it's pretty cool how, now that it's no longer possible to dispute the fact that nazis are part of the Ukrainian gov't, it simply doesn't matter as long as they don't go on genocidal rampages. Reminder: the actual, real deal, German nazis didn't go on ethnic hatred-fueled rampages either... until they did. Kristallnacht didn't happen until '38, but ol' Adolf was appointed Chancellor in '33. Ah, but I guess history, much like constitutional law, isn't our forte, right guys? Enjoy your doublethink! Hi 2133 I reject anything from RT due to its profound bias, I also reject the link about the TV chief getting attacked because its not in English and you can't possibly expect me to comment on something I don't understand That just leaves your final link, before I comment who is http://nsnbc.me/ anyway? I have never heard of them...are they credible? I am worried about where you get information from 2133, I don't want you to be influenced and manipulated by websites that have a some sort of anti-western agenda Hmm. So, basically, you reject anything that isn't delivered by Beeb. Okay bro. But, see, the problem is that that sort of hand waving works for everyone—I can just as easily dismiss everything everyone else has posted ITT as "profoundly biased" and driven by "some sort of anti-Russian agenda". And the accusation would be true in both cases! Beautiful, don't you think? I don't expect you to believe anything I post. But I do expect you to read the links and do your own research. You know, as opposed to just coming up with flimsy reasons to convince yourself that they aren't valid so you can feel better. But don't kid yourself, there are no good guys in this; only bad guys and "our" bad guys. Fair enough, I agree that if we just say " this website is bias" then we won't get anywhere to understanding different perspectives All I ask is that you don't post links from RT, thats not being unreasonable ? I did read the other link so I am not just dismissing all contrary opinions

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/03/19/project-eternity-release-date/ Some of you have probably read this but here is an interesting update on RPS around the Paradox partnership

I did not sign up and back this project for more publisher bullsh*t! If this is the way it's going to go Obsidian, you can take my signed copy right out behind the studio and toss it in the dumpster. I am GDS&T of publishers and their... crap. I have to deal with the atrocities of licensed commercial software all day long at work. I will not come home and deal with product activation and always-on bs and giving me crap about making mods. Seriously... I won't be back to kickstart anything you do, ever again. Don't make go pull Southpark off my wishlist. It sounds like you don't like Publishers, maybe you should be just be honest and admit this. I am finding your nebulous post a little hard to believe ....

Are you even listening to your self? OK, so you dismissed two of the links with "credible" excuses, and when you couldn't find a fault with the third one, you dismiss it just because. Damn dude, you really are brainwashed. I am merely questioning the source, how come the international news channels don't have this information. Send me a link that is similar to what 2133 posted but is from CNN, Sky, BBC or Al-Jazeera. They generally check and corroborate there information

I like you Keyrock, you are funny and friendly

Linux games are coming to GOG, thats the connection.

Shame Nonek, I feel bad for you now. Why do you say " Bioware doesn't care for you "...the fact that they have active forums and take fan feedback seriously, like Romance, tells me they most definitely do care But you right its unlikely you will receive presents from Bioware but don't mistake that for a lack of genuine affection. But don't you think there is such a thing as gratuitous and unnecessary criticism..so in other words not all criticism is good?

Yeah I thought as much, you won't be able to find evidence of fascist attacks against Russian speaking Ukrainians because its not true. I'm not attacking you personally Fighter, I'm just highlighting how ridiculous part of the justification from Russia is around the annexing of Crimea. Lets just be honest, Russia wants a buffer zone between it and EU\NATO friendly countries and Crimea is part of that. This situation has NOTHING to do with a threat from fascists and persecution of Russian speaking Ukrainians

Do you have a credible reference that those Neo-Nazis are on a rampage throughout Ukraine? That they are implementing "self defense" brigades that are targeting ethnic Russians? Preparing to commit genocide or ethnic cleansing? Because so far, Crimea is the problem. And Tatars fear further problems. Furthermore, if Russia really wanted to protect Russians, it would not invade and occupy Ukraine, pressing the berserk button of a nation long oppressed by Russia. Also just to reiterate this point, even up to yesterday during Putin's speech the Russian stance has been about " needing to protect the Russian speaking Ukrainians from fascists and attacks and persecution" Okay we get that, Russian speaking communities in the Crimea and Ukraine are besieged by aggressive Neo-Nazi's. Now can we get some evidance....just one or two sources outside of RT.

You remember that Chuck Norris video.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/04/chuck-norris-obama-reelection-1000-years-of-darkness-mitt-romney_n_1854309.html

Malc I don't want you to worry, the influence of Neo-Nazi's in Ukraine is no problem and is overblown. Its just Russian propaganda, these are the facts

... n.... no? Where did I ever say that? I... I said the exact opposite of that. Is Obama rounding citizens up and having them executed in concentration camps? Is he locking foreign tourists up because he suspects them of being gay? Is he refusing food, water, and basic quality of life materials to his citizens? Is he personally overseeing every horrendous crime in America? You're responding to Calax as if their post had been directed towards you. Sure, but it does get a little frustrating when we keep hearing what a terrible president Obama is and how he has destroyed the fabric of American society and how " there is a thousand years of darkness coming " when he was re-elected I'm not saying Calax is saying this at all , its just the general sentiment from some people on these forums Well I don't know about the destroyed fabric of society or the thousand years of darkness but I do have little positive to say about his Presidency. As you know my two biggest concerns as far as the federal government goes are fiscal responsibility (little argument he has done poorly there) and personal liberty (in other words adhering to the Constitution) and he has taken the worst transgressions of the Bush Administration and doubled down on them. I, for one, can't wait for 2017 so we can see the back of him for good and all.. My only hope is the Dems lose both houses of Congress this year so he will be safely neutralized for the rest of his term. Now I know I post a lot of things with tongue firmly in cheek but the truth is I have nothing against the man personally but he does not value freedom and liberty as I do and his vision of what the US should be is not mine. Thats a reasonable perspective GB and you always take the time to explain your dislike of Obama which even though I may not agree with I do respect your view

They are going to take a cut from every copy sold which means less money for Obsidian, which means they need to sell more games. Unless they made a contract whit a fixed amount of money, which I doubt. But there would be distribution costs if Obsidian did it themselves, in fact I would argue it would more expensive as Paradox has the relationships with various distribution partners and its easier for them to negotiate discounts

Damn, I really thought they were gonna self publish. Well this puts even more pressure on the game to succeed. Why do you think self publishing is better? I would think a development company like Obsidian doesn't want to get involved in the distribution of PoE or the marketing around the distribution. This just adds logistical work to the project, let Obsidian focus on the actual development of the game?

My recollections may be faulty Shattered Steel: 0 MDK 2: 0 Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood: 0 Baldur's Gate: 2 (cheated the end both times) Tales of the Sword Coast: 2 Baldur's Gate 2: 4 (Wild Mage, Druid, Barbarian..and...halfling thief) Throne of Bhaal: 1 Neverwinter Nights: 2 (once with vanilla, once with a character I took through all the expansions and original game) Shadows of Undrentide: 1 Hordes of the Underdark: 1 Knights of the Old Republic: 4 (possibly more) The Old Republic: 0 Jade Empire: 9 (one for each body type, plus two more at least) Mass Effect: 7 (4 main characters, main-main character played through at least three times) Mass Effect 2: 2 (beat twice with two of my main imported characters) Mass Effect 3: 1 Mass Effect Galaxy: 0 Dragon Age Origins: 7 (1 for each origin, did the noble twice (once male, once female) Dragon Age 2: 4 (Hawke with each class, one replay where I didn't take Bethany to the underdark (which I did for my first game). Wowzers Amentep based on your actual exposure to RPG that offer Romance I think a promotion in the promancer army is necessary, how would you feel about being a captain? It would be irresponsible to ignore someone with such experience to Romance in RPG

Its probably more to do with the fact that you Ozzies don't have decent Internet penetration in the Outback or your citizens are busy fighting all those dangerous and poisonous snakes, spiders and other lethal creatures that inhabit your fair land ...said the guy from South Africa. Hello? Black Mambas, anyone?? That's some scary **** right there. It's almost as dangerous as Wisconsin. I've seen what happens when you're maimed by a cow. You ever see that? Horrible. You're walking along and suddenly-- Bam! Cow! Nightmares and therapy follow. Long nights curled into the fetal position, crying... Valid point , also we have large numbers of Hippos in our country. And Hippos have been responsible for killing more humans than any other mammal in Africa. So between the South African man-eating cow and the Hippo I also live in a country populated by dangerous wildlife !!! http://goafrica.about.com/od/africasafariguide/tp/dangerousanimals.htm

Rofl. Perhaps you two should relax. I couldnt care less which OS anyone uses, or their skill level, or what market share Linux enjoys. I though we were having a simple conversation on why a user would choose Windows over Linux to game on and it is my opinion that ease of use is that reason. Nothing more, nothing less. Coming off as aggressive tools is bad form. I work in the software industry, and I use to work for Microsoft, and its funny how certain Linux and Unix fans are almost militant around there support for any platform outside of Windows. They seem to overlook the fact that for the majority of people the thought of installing Linux is a lot of hard work and they will battle to get decent support, warranties and some of there games and gaming hardware isn't even supported on Linux. Its fine if you personally know Linux and can effectively do your own troubleshooting but this isn't the case for most people The main difference between Linux or Windows for customers is the ease of interoperability and Windows wins that easily. This shouldn't even be a point of contention. I am not suggesting that some people on these forums don't prefer Linux, I believe that. But if I was developer and I had a limited budget I would have to be seriously convinced to create a game that also supports Linux because it makes more financial sense to create games for the Windows market, I also don't see any gaming benefit from a Linux game around factors like graphic settings and the required hardware

They sure do. I'd say they cause more damage than all others combined. They discredit the government and coalition that is now in power. In that - they are the most precious asset of pro-russian propaganda. It's like a wet dream of all politicans - having your political opponent allied to a bunch of people who march in SS uniforms and proclaim ethnic cleansing or similar political suicides. Imagine a GOP politican, who will advocate reinstitution of the slavery but whom could not be expunged from GOP. Just a several seconds of googling brought me this jewel: http://youtu.be/1c6eYId4fPE ...a bunch of Svoboda party members violently forces general director of 1-st Ukranian TV channel to resign on basis of being non-ukrainian(which is not true) and accusation of allowing artists from Russia on his channels and broadcasting yesterday Putin's speech. It's like if you are standing for strict gun control and suddenly some member of your pro-gun opponents go on a killing spree with assault rifles in both hands. I think this whole argument that the new Ukrainian government is influenced by Neo-Nazi's and right-wingers is grossly exaggerated. Russia is just using this as a another justification around the Crimean annexation. Where are all the credible examples of how pro-Russians in Ukraine have been killed and marginalized by these fascists?. I haven't seen any serious discussion on any international news channel, except on RT, that highlights the perceived threat around these so-called right wing groups @ Cultist You are being manipulated by the Russian propaganda machine, it suprises me as I always considered you a free thinker ..

I was thinking a similar thing around the spell selection, but the way I see it is you really only have 4 basic elements and when you think about spells, especially offensive spells, you can create for a new IP you will always have similarities to what we are familiar with due to our exposure to D&D.
