An interesting and long overdue, IMO, development in the UK http://finance.yahoo.com/news/gay-marriage-wins-key-uk-194646965.html The UK House of Commons voted 400 in favor to 175 against. The issue being David Cameron's own party, the Conservatives, seemed primarily against this progressive move. But anyway it looks like Gay marriage will be now legally allowed. Whats your view on this? I am a liberal and absolutely believe that Gay couples should have the same rights as straight couples. Love and commitment shouldn't just be the domain of straight people so why not allow Gay couples to get married? What is the view of Gay Marriage in your own country, in South Africa we have allowed Civil Unions of same sex couples for years so its not a big deal. Well done David Cameron for pushing through this difficult legal change to UK laws.

It never ceases to amaze me just how much effort and attention to detail people put in to Mods There are some seriously impressive adult mods out there, you should check out the Hydra Lair Mod for some adult fun http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12556 And the Summon Succubus twins spell http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12756

I found them to be excellent and very scary. You fight different types of aliens and you have this constant surreal and dreamlike vision of a certain person you are looking for as you explore this creepy ship. Definitely worth playing

That's what I'm trying to do. But it's taking forever to translate them to English. Thats my issue, my Polish isn't all its cracked up to be

This is a relevant thread because I haven't played Skyrim yet and plan to do so soon. I have been building a list of Mods that I have will using, both normal and adult. I like the Mods that add extra creatures and dragons.

Excellent, so it doesn't necessarily mean its the end of the Witcher

Video coverage, after 1:20 mark Thx, but does he mean its the conclusion of the theme around the Wild Hunt or the whole Witcher series? I can't make out the words he says after the word "conclusion"?

This looks excellent, its going to be bigger than Skyrim. Nice one. But where does it say this will be the last Witcher?

Okay issue solved, on the same thread I posted the modder Scient had a hotfix that did the same thing I was trying to do manually. You run it from the CMD prompt and the issue has been solved. I can now continue with Torment

Would this mean that any level of social contract indicates a police state? Note that tyranny requires oppression, and oppression is the exercise of power in a cruel and unjust manner. As such, for something to be tyrannical the people must consider it tyrannical. Do citizens of any democracy feel that requiring driving licenses is an example of oppressive behaviour by the government, defined as an exercise of the government's power in a cruel, and unjust manner? How does someone argue with such irrefutable logic? And to answer the question "no", no reasonable person should consider that oppressive in any form. Good and convincing post

Nice, there must be some satisfaction in that victory

That is interesting, I still maintain that this acquisition is actually about Microsoft's long term survival in the changing user hardware market. Your article articulates yet another threat to Microsoft's domination of the OS market. So what MS is doing makes perfect strategic sense to me.

no I have already made a copy of Torment.exe. when I was just looking at this issue last night

Don't get me wrong I consider Australia a "police state", your laws are far more restrictive than other Western countries. Thats one of the main reasons I haven't considered immigrating there. I know you have an excellent quality of life and good social services but I am not prepared to submit myself to what I consider are your unreasonable laws. Your example in the post just vindicates my opinion, I mean how can you force someone to vote?

But none of these points, IMO, constitute a Police State..seriously. These are normal rules in any civilized, structured Democracy. You need all the points to ensure a country can function. If you don't have these types of rules then your country will end up like places in Africa, and trust me that is much worse

Gorth it sounds like you know what you are talking about, I'll try this later after work and let you know what the outcome is

Something occurred to me last night, a huge point that the gun lobby keeps making that is banning semi-automatic weapons and having more restrictive checks before trying to get a gun won't help " as criminals don't follow the law anyway" South Africa, IMO, is a much more violent country than the USA. We have about 50 murders a day and other high levels of crime. Yet despite our violent culture we have never had a shooting like Sandy Hook or Columbine. Why is that? It got me thinking We have many people prepared to commit crime and take a life but those criminals are driven by desire to enrich themselves and break the law as they have a material objective, but they aren't going to go into a school and shoot kids. They are criminals but they aren't mentally unbalanced. The people that are mentally unstable, and we also have loads of them, don't have access to guns and can't get them. In South Africa its almost impossible to get semi-automatic weapons. So what is the corollary to this? By banning semi-automatic weapons in the USA you won't stop criminals getting these guns but you will make it almost impossible for the average or mentally insane person to get these weapons. And those are the people committing these horrific shootings, not your average citizen I know, I know I'm a genius. I am surprised one has considered my wise words before?

Yeah, good point, And depending on the encounter some serious soul searching could be required

Don't forget convincing your companions to have sordid sexual encounters with the main character, thats a form of corruption?

Hi All I am currently playing Planescape and have hit a bug in Curst when I try to enter the silo and the game crashes. This is an issue that is known about and there is a solution, see the link below. I even posted a question on this thread http://www.gog.com/forum/planescape_torment/stuck_in_a_certain_disc_4_grain_silo The solution involves using a Hex editor and the Torment.exe file, see below http://www.shsforums.net/topic/37824-please-report-crashes-here/page-9?p=534474 Now here is my issue, I have downloaded a Hex Editor and opened the Torment.exe file but have no idea how to actually find the 1920x 1080 resolution in the file. Do I search on Hex values in the Torment.exe file? To make it clearer someone with the same issue as me in the same thread posted the following below. But I can't get right what he did, how do I find the strings he mentioned in the Hex? And then once I have found the Hex what values do I replace them with? I know there are people on these forums with advanced and prodigious intellects so hopefully someone can assist "I've got a Hex editor and I'm trying to apply this fix, but I can't figure it out (I have no knowledge of Hex at all, really). I've opened Torment.exe, searched and found the strings you listed, but I'm a bit confused as to what I'm editing and what I should be editing it to. The resolution I'm using is 1920x1080, and I've gone and found out what those are in Hex (0x780 and 0x438 respectively) but I'm a little stuck from there. No idea how to get from those to the XX XX XX etc. format. Would I be correct in doing this: 1920x1080 - Replace 80 02 with 80 07 and replace E0 01 with 38 04 ?? EDIT: Looks like I was, no longer crashing when leaving Mebbeth's Hut." Thanks for the fix! Edited by JamesofN, 14 February 2012 - 08:34 AM.

Morgoth I am waiting in anticipation for you to post a link saying when GTA V will be released on PC, then you will REALLY be my hero !!!

Well originam myths aboyt elfs are complatly difftren then elf that we will gonna se in PE. Dwarws also has almost no features of mythical dwarwes. Mythical dwarws were very small, elfs has more features of faires then humans. If the devs decide that dragons are gonna be friendly pets of humans becouse it fitt in their world your argumentation like "Meke them like in myth or don't" is simply pointless. I like dragons is skyrim (withs some mods that make them stroger) but i don't want that type of dragons in Eternety. the fist type of dragons more simmiliar more to orgininal D&D dragons becouse if you read cerfully you whoud seen that i sad "Neurtal to humqans and loners, avoiding humans" in skyrim they where agresive and looking for humans so complatly diffrent .. and of course where weak. My secound thout about dragons is hidden empire and i simple don't understand sentence "ur***/otherkin race" mayby my engish is not good enouth so please use other word to describe your opinion. Why i am for anciend hidden empire ? Becouse it more original then "EXp bags" or "common mosters scenarios" and becouse i think that in some ruins that we se in artworks (see endless paths) we se some andcien ruins of older civilization and my hidden empire concept fitts. Secodry i like "Slayers" dragons, also origninal. Besides "In Eastern myth and pre-Buddhist religion they're the highest of Gods" also fittis to hidden empire scenario for exampe simple farmers see a dragon on the sky and disapears and starting to think that he is a god but in reality he just enterd a invisible dragon town suspended in the air. Besides if you knew more about medival history in wester europe, dragons where more to common with Devil it's self, Dragon was a devil or his servant puppet and also comes from hell ... so what ? We donna input dragons as devils ? To the topic Another humanoid dragon You make some good points @ Agx Sorry my friend but he has you there when he mentions that if we want dragons to be typical of mythology it wouldn't make sense in the context of a fantasy setting like PE. So lets discuss different and relative ways Dragons can appear in PE I like the whole Dragon civilization concept. What about a idea where dragons once ruled vast parts of the PE world, humans and other races were there slaves but then thousands of years ago the Dragons were overthrown and the races freed themselves so they could decide there own destiny. This could lead to dragon gods who still exist but scheme of returning to ruling the lands, very powerful dragons who are descendent's of the original dragon rulers and dragon cults who long for a time where the dragons can return to power. But either way the dragons would have there own society and civilization

There have been some informative responses around why you guys don't like MMOs. They make sense, I haven't played a MMO for about 2 years so I am definitely not an avid fan, but I do enjoy them. I do like the whole Foundry aspect of NWN Online. It will be cool to create dungeons and populate them with creatures and traps

Ah you bring back memories, I remember that feeling of almost helplessness in the beginning of F:NV with no effective equipment and having to face the big, bad post-apocalyptic world. Thats one of the reasons I love the game so much. Its the fact that during the game you constantly feel its a battle for survival

This may be old but I am not sure why more people aren't commenting on this impending MMO. It looks like it will offer a real D&D experience, also Perfect World is releasing the Foundry which will allow players to create there own modules and adventures in the game for other people. I am obviously missing something that explains the lackluster excitement from these forums?
