Agreed. Survival mechanics work in the Fallout setting since its one of the series' constant themes. This doesn't apply here.

Lanfear was a German poster who was active in the Black Isle boards during the development of BG2. She was absolutely in love with Coran. Well, Dave Gaider wrote a story arc involving a love triangle involving Coran, Safana, and Lanfear. The quest line essentially ended up with Coran getting murdered. When the real Lanfear found out, she threw a big hissy fit and left the boards dramatically. Personally I though it was hilarious -both the inside joke quest and the ensuing board drama.

I would hesitate in petitioning Obsidian to include people, places, memorials etc., as lots of backers pledged good money for these rewards. That being said, Obsidian can add whatever and whoever they want as Easter Eggs or memorials. Visceris in particular comes to mind.

Is it bad that I would love to see something similar to what they did with Lanfear? I think it's safe to say that Sensuki has both a better sense of humor and thicker skin than Lanfear ever did. That lady was nuts.

...seems a little bit different from how I remember it. Can't put my finger on why though...

They don't appear when you are in the leveling up process, but they are applied on the character sheet.

Picking up Xenonauts!

That looks like a promising mod.

Well, they did try with Jesse Cox play through a few weeks back. Granted he only has 700,000 YouTube subscribers compared to TB's 1.8 million...

Lot of the talent who created the classic BioWare games are no longer freezing their arses off in Edmonton. This would include the major brain trusts such as the Doctors, James Ohlen, Scott Greig, Trent Oster, Casey Hudson, and many others. #BioWareInNameOnly.

Do I sense a challenge for someone to post their playthrough on twitch or youtube under stated conditions after the game releases?

Have to give credit to your Grizzlies. Ended a red hot Golden State 16 game winning streak and beat the Spurs in triple overtime at San Antonio. Impressive. Conley and Gasol have definitely stepped it up this year.

Adam Brennecke's tweet: @adam_brennecke: We have a new Beta patch landing today for #PillarsOfEternity! As always, has lots of great fixes and new things to check out.

Reassuring to know I'm not the only one.

The Memphis - Golden State matchup should be good. Hopefully Bogut is able to come back from the game. ... The Kings though. To the wide shock of the NBA and media community, Sacramento fired Mike Malone, who is universally thought of as a very good coach, and had this team compete beyond expectation. So it seems Vivek Ranadive and his management team wants to implement the philosophical principles they've tested out for their D-League team the Reno Big Horns. This is a lab experiment in which they: 1) Average 140pts a game 2) Shoot 50 threes a game 3) Run a full time Full Court Press 4) Constantly leave behind a cherry picker - in essence playing a 4 on 5 defense I don't know if I'm hoping whether they succeed or fail.

Ok. I'll take the bait. - Indonesia is a thousand+ island archipelago consisting of hundreds of languages and dozens of ethnic groups and religions of which Islam is the dominant religion. - This one, particular region (Aceh) is/was under dispute and the usage of heavy handed tactics by both the central government and rebel factions have led to a very precarious situation which was ripe for exploitation by fundamentalist elements. You can't use Aceh as a valid representative for the rest of Indonesia, which happens to be the fourth largest country (by population) in the world. There's a ton of things wrong with Indonesia; corrupt government, wide stratification between rich and poor, terrible infrastructure, etc.,..but Indonesians are generally very moderate and a significant percentage of that are muslim in name only. I know this from first hand experience having lived there for five years. And believe me, I definitely stood out in the crowd.

Left or even centered would be better. Making the UI positioning customizable would be ideal.

Yeah, there's no way I could play Papers, Please! with a touch-screen. The controls are frustrating enough when you're playing on PC... It's actually a lot better and more intuitive on the iPad.

Papers, Please on the iPad. Absolutely perfect medium for this game. Glory to Arztotzka!

Paradox games usually have word of mouth and internet videos as their main line of PR. Yep. Their videos tend to be unorthodox, but are usually really well done.

Former CIA officials (including Directors George Tenet, Porter Goss, and Michael Hayden) wrote a rebuttal: http://www.wsj.com/articles/cia-interrogations-saved-lives-1418142644 They also launched a website: http://www.ciasavedlives.com/ I've been cavalier with opinions regarding Enhanced Interrogation Techniques/Torture but am generally very much against its use. There's much to criticize about the CIA and their...colorful...history, but I am a proponent of the CIA and their importance to national security and I agree that this was a shoddy and highly partisan attack against the agency.

I am sensing that this thread is perilously close to falling off the precipitous ledge onto spoiler valley.

So we're a quarter of the way through the season and the West is insanely good. Dallas, the current #7 seed is on pace for 58 wins, and they're only 3 1/2 games behind Golden State for the top seed. And nobody, but NOBODY wants to win the top seed only to have to play OKC in the first round.

VB? Wasn't the concept for that basically recycled for NV and the DLCs? Well, whatever Van Buren is going to be, it ain't gonna be a Fallout (in name only?). The bridge to Bethesda is still in smoldering ashes due to that noted hamster arsonist, Faran Brygo.
