  1. I bought Of Orcs and Men, it was marked down to $20. So it seemed like a good purchase
  2. I hear you, thats my view at the moment. I actually prefer single player games anyway with a bit of MP thrown in. But I will be keeping this game and the Neverwinter Nights MMO on my radar.
  3. Muslims Al-Qaeda fight against alcoholism Enforcing Sharia Law on the streets of London. They must be stopped! International community demand immediate military intervention into UK! P.S. NATO must launch military intervention into Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and United Arab Emirates too. These medieval monarchies exterminate opposition, reject democracy, violate human rights and use Sharia laws. It's not too difficult job, because NATO have military bases there. Sorry but you can't possibly compare countries like the UAE, Qatar or even Saudi to countries like the former Afghanistan under the Taliban. I travel to those countries for work and even though they are conservative people and foreigners can and do have a quality of life. Women in many of those countries get educated and can work. There is acceptance and tolerance on many levels. But in countries that the likes of Al-Qaeda have influence they want to implement an orthodox form of Sharia law that is both barbaric and archaic. So yes we must prevent them from being able to operate in countries like Mali, Somalia and Afghanistan
  4. This is exactly what I did, enabling the AI made the combat more difficult and frustrating for me. I also preferred NWN2 more than NWN1.
  5. That type of content encapsulates the Planescape theme perfectly, but it has jack **** to do with torment. If you're making a spiritual successor then call it that, but don't tell me you're making the next Torment and then say "well it actually takes place in a different setting, doesn't have the same characters, won't have any actual links at all really to the last game, but since we're now calling Torment a 'thematic franchise' we feel it's accurate for us to call this the next Torment!" I don't agree with you but I suppose this depends on what defines a Torment game for you. All the points I mentioned are what characterizes a Torment game for me, if a developer choses to build the story on those themes then I don't mind if the game is called Forgotten Realms: Torment, Dragon Age: Torment or Numenera: Torment. The world used just needs to be suitable for this type of narrative They can create new characters and themes that you will get to love and cherish
  6. To be honest this concern has been addressed by Brian Fargo in the interview. He explains that the new Torment will follow similar grandiose themes to Planescape like the meaning of life, extra-planetary entities, the ability to traverse the planes and allow the character to visit bizarre and outlandish destinations. I am playing Planescape at the moment and this type of content encapsulates the Torment theme perfectly So no need to worry
  7. Guys take a look at this introduction video to Elder Scrolls Online. What do you think? I think it looks amazing. But I am easily pleased so I wouldn't mind other more insightful opinions
  8. What about a figurine of Isabela in her Pirate bikini? That would be popular
  9. I wasn't suggesting ideological similarities, rather organizational similarities. Okay. I also missed the connection. I thought you meant they were both terrorist groups, which I agree with.
  10. You can't seriously be suggesting that you don't think that Al-Qaeda is real as a known and established terrorist organization ? Of course he can be. Haven't you seen any of his posts before? If it's not a Russian nationalist post, it's a troll post slinging insults at the "West" and its people. He made a thread to just to say that Americans are fat, ugly, immoral and the most corrupt people with the most fascist system of government on the face of the Earth, come on. I hear you, personally I get annoyed by his comments. He never engages in actual debate but prefers to quote links to other websites. The most ironic consideration is that Russia is more corrupt than almost any established Western country. So maybe he should look at the obvious systemic problems within his own country instead of this constant diatribe against the West
  11. Even now we can't have proof of Al-Qaeda presence in Mali (Actually we can't find they in any part of Earth). http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/politics/2012/10/ansar-dine-spokesman-dismisses-terrorist-label.html ...< /p> In other words Ansar Dine is not Al-Qaeda, but western media continue mumbling about Al-Qaeda without proofs. That's because many westerners have made duped into believing in the boogie man. Only those who haven't enough background in world history/events and haven't done enough homework believe they exist outside of the propaganda machine or as an 'intelligence community' asset, or the unintelligent. Al-Qaeda = boogiemen. Anyone that considers just how powerful this organization that spans the globe supposedly is should begin to question just how that is even remotely possible. Most don't question though, not much of anything. I don't think anyone with even a semblance of insight into Al-Qaeda and there organizational structure is unaware of there real influence. It doesn't matter what you call the fighters in Mali who the French are fighting. Islamists,. Jihadists, Al-Qaeda..whatever its irrelevant to the reality of the situation. They want to impose an orthodox and archaic form of Sharia law in the region. And they need to stopped. They will be stopped as very few people and countries in the region want them to succeed.
  12. I'm a sucker for beautiful and interesting party members. So for me Viconia, Fall-From-Grace, Isabella, Morrigan,Qara and Annah would be a must Then guys like Minsc, Shale and Alistair I enjoy to balance the game.
  13. Oh my hat, I really hope this means its coming to the PC. From your link its probable but I can't find a definitive "yes" response from Rockstar yet
  14. This seems to be just a strategic move to break away from the European holding company. It makes sense as the USA division was profitable
  15. My cat is 19, but she isn't doing too well. Still miss her sister who vanished nearly 10 years ago :/ And sitll feel that nagging guild that I should not have let her out, should have searched more etc Holy smoke, that must be the oldest cat I have ever heard about. That means its 92 years in human terms according to my handy cat age calculator http://cats.about.com/cs/healthissues/a/agechart.htm
  16. If they were subjected to some contemporary pop music, it's understandable. You funny
  17. To be honest from an outsiders perspective it sounds like your mom doesn't really respect your ability to make the right decision, there is no doubt that she loves you and cares but maybe you what you need to do is calmly tell that her general lack of confidence in you is both demeaning and inhibiting you from making the right decisions in life. You need to make your own choices and if they are mistakes then they are your mistakes and you will deal with the consequences. But right now comments ikes "I've heard that before" are the last thing that you need to hear as you are clearly sensitive to this type of feedback
  18. Please quote the guy instead of the article title. He's referencing budget and manpower, not the graphical output itself. Are you always such a nagging pest? Whoa, watch the attitude Morgie. Don't you know your performance reviews are coming up? If you don't follow proper linking procedure, don't expect that bonus check! Clever and apt comment
  19. I'm going to donate to this project, it will only be $25 but I'm sure every cent counts
  20. Holy Smoke, yet another RPG that seems to have huge potential. We are really spoilt lately, its great. That lady developer gets the message across nicely. I couldn't place her accent, East European?
  21. That doesn't sound a bit heavy handed to you? Perhaps a bit pandering. I like a game to have a message as much as the next guy, but targeting Fox News as evil seems like low hanging fruit. Akin to jokes about airline peanuts at this point. I hear what you saying but I find it interesting, the developers are obviously targeting everything that many people consider are decadent and false in our society anyway. If demonic forces were real you can understand those places would be there natural targets. So banks and night clubs and then institutions that influence peoples opinions would be in there cross-hairs, like news channels. These would then allow them to subvert people to there iniquitous way of thinking. So the idea makes sense to me.
  22. Small enough to fairly reliably ID myself, if I post it here. :D Probably natural to have second thoughts at this point, but it's a job, not a prison sentence, so I can always just leave, if it goes completely to hell. I'll see what happens. As long as you'll still have access to the Obsidian forums the whole experience should be manageable
