    For the editor the things I linked are what amounts to a manual. For the base game, they really do a bad job telling you all you need to know. They tell you a bit, but it wasn't even until the final segment of the game that I figured out how to use overwatch. "gentle pat on the head " Okay thanks for the information around the manual. Personally I think its something they need to release. I don't mind spending time on a game but not spending time learning how the gameplay works

    1.) Please no. A Megadungeon should be a mega-dungeon, not a playground for loot-fanatics and XP-messies. 2.) Epic lot yes, but please don't give it away like candy. That destroys the value of finding something awesome, also it probably destroys any background the "loot" has. Also D3s portal NO, GOD, PLEASE NO! NO! NOOOOO! 3.) I can live with that. 4.) You don't have to look up anything, you have to simply think. It's been ages since I've had to solve any remotely interesting puzzle. 5.) NO. Sorry Gfted1 but I also disagree with almost all your suggestions. In fact I would say you are joking as you saying things in direct contradiction to what everyone else is suggesting ( but it is funny )

    Stupid question but doesn't this game have a decent manual, I come from school of thought that says complex games should have manuals

    That's a completely reasonable and valid reason to leave Obsidian. I would believe that before I believe he was fired and left under a dark cloud

    Hah. Not always true, but certainly the fierce ones only get fiercer. Heh, I used to know a girl at University who would totally vamp it up and act as the aggressive sex kitten type. She said it actually cut down on the guys that hit on her and worked as a defense. She always claimed that the average guy in a club or pub get intimidated by a girl like that, don't know how to handle it, and end up backing down and leaving them alone. I like that strategy That would put me off but not because I would be intimidated.

    Sure that's one way but for many people they prefer the luxury and convenience of going to few websites and reading at there leisure what people whose job it is to review games have to say. If you look at websites like Gamasutra and Forbes they carry a load of credibility around what they think about certain games

    Plenty listen to them, which is the sad and funny thing. People don't need them, can't really think of anything they've uniquely provided other than social justice outrage (woo RPS) or just funny drama. Okay so how would someone who doesn't have access to forums like these get an opinion on a new game that has been released without reading a gaming journalists review?

    Wow that's not a comment I would expect from you Jarmo, exploring complex dungeons is a cornerstone of almost fantasy RPG like D&D If you don't like multi-levelled dungeons what do you enjoy exploring?

    Can you provide some links that support this post?

    @ Alan I don't disagree with what you are saying but my comments weren't directed at you. There have been several comments that suggest gaming journalists are not relevant anymore as a source of information around there opinions on games. You can see this view from Bendu's comment onwards from some people He said "Game journos. Nobody needs them anymore. They are so '90s." His view around the importance of gaming journalists can't be more clearly expressed than this type of comment. That's where I'm getting the opinion " that people don't listen to gaming journalists"

    XBox One is *supposedly* going to be more aggressive in handing out Xbox Live bans to players who are frequently abusive or insulting to other players. That can't come soon enough, anything to reduce the rampant bigotry and unacceptable rudeness I support. Maybe people will actually start thinking before they comment and assuming there will be no consequences?

    Okay I disagree with what some of you guys are saying about the influence gaming journalists have around there opinion about games. Personally I always go to sites like Eurogamer, GameBanshee and Gamespot to get opinions of various journalists. I also read the user reviews and check forums like Steam for general perspectives which I find most interesting. If I am doing this I can guarantee you thousands of other people are also doing this. No offense but I think you guys are being jaded, myopic and dismissive if you think that no one listens to gaming journalists

    I think its time to move beyond the mistake that Harry made wearing that inappropriate costume. He has apologized profusely and has done more than enough for his country subsequently to show he is a patriot and someone that people should and can respect

    I've been reading up about these measures that the UK wants to implement and its actually not such a big deal as you as an adult can contact your ISP and instruct them to remove any filtering, so Porn problem solved But I am more concerned with the fact that the recommended filtering software is HomeSafe and they are owned by Huawei. Huawei is a Chinese Internet technology company similar to Cisco. They make routers, switches and other Internet related equipment. Huawei has been recently implicated in passing sensitive USA information back to China as many companies in the USA use them products. We use them in South Africa as they are offer good value for money and do the job The UK should really only consider using software and devices that are designed in the UK or the EU to do this type of filtering to ensure a level of internal security around where this data may end up

    I don't think this view is accurate. If gaming journalists were irrelevant why would Publishers ensure that certain gaming review websites and there gaming correspondents have early access to games and interviews? The reality is that there are still many people that place credibility in what gaming journalists say and what they think so they still play an important function

    I agree, also there is a train of thought that says that Child Porn is actually used by many pedophiles to suppress there abhorrent sexual appetites. So in fact by making it even harder to get, and already its illegal and hard to see, you may inadvertently make the issue worse as pedophiles will act on there urges

    These eyes looks quite normal for me I'm seeing a light reflection from the eyes that the camera is picking up. Similar to "red eye", but its not as red here but still noticeably "shiny" to me. Yeah her eyes are definitely reflecting the light in a vampire like manner

    Listening to 'da yoof' at work I gather they practically swim in the stuff via mobiles. Little bastards. EDIT: Full disclosure - I wrote this next noticed the attractive women thread on this forum... Yeah, I mean we would NEVER look at pictures of attractive women, its the kids doing all this licentious behaviour

    I watched numerous interviews on this the last couple of weeks and the addressing child pornography is part of it. But why would you block porn anyway, is there a real issue in the UK with kids watching it? Have they done surveys and what age are they talking about that these kids are watching porn from?
  20. BruceVC
    Yeah you guys have a real issue with paedophiles and child porn so this should help especially since the real hard core child molesters use peer to peer networking and this won't help at all. Wait that means these steps will have a negligible impact around the issue they are trying to address so another well meant but ineffective government policy

    I am really looking forward to the mega dungeon, I would like each level to have its own identity and then as you go lower unique creatures and races that have there own culture. Like exploring the Underdark in D&D. And there should be certain powerful monsters that you won't be able to defeat initially until you are at the right level

    Oh no that's not good, you know she is going to start judging your lifestyle and where you going with your life. But remember she is doing this as she is concerned and thinks her advice will help you so don't get upset

    I also enjoyed DA 2, it was entertaining but not fantastic. And of course it had Isabela
  24. BruceVC
    Shame that's cute

    Its easy to say that when you aren't the target of bigotry or abuse. "Just ignore it " isn't a viable solution to dealing with most cases of bigotry Actually on the internet it is, you just log off. How is that ignoring? That is actively running away from. QFT
