    A chum of mine training at Sandhurst once told me what the Womens Royal Army Corp (WRAC) is abbreviated to by the average squaddie, and the Sarkeesian's would absolutely declare a jihad if they found out. Very distasteful.

    For some reason the cautionary tale of the head of Vecna keeps springing to mind, if replacable limbs are implemented this might be a nice little easter egg.

    Random statements on comparative biology thread?

    In an old campaign of mine there was a league of assassins named the "Black Hand," one can imagine the master of a similar organisation fondling such a sceptre as a rod of office or somesuch.

    Bit of a wasted opportunity in my eyes, the young gentleman interviewer needed notes, research on his subject and an agenda to follow. No disrespect intended of course, well except for the interviewers praising of the demeaning roles that women (and men) are saddled with in Biowares games.

    Ah well still no point to buying the title then, thank you anyway.

    So hate to ask, but does the auction house closure in Diablo 3 mean that it'll have an offline mode now, or is it still persisting with that feature?
  8. Nonek
    The one area I can see increased feedback as working is in features that should have been implemented originally, such as stashes or homebases for games where massive amounts of loot and quest items are available, but most of these problems are aired quite openly and solved with alacrity.

    I would personally agree with C2B, this shouldn't play a part in design decisions, I want to play the game that Obsidian made not their customers. After all if the scheme is opt out then they will not be collecting reliable information, and just because a majority likes certain features that does not mean they are the correct ones, thus the cancerous proliferation of romances and such degenerate content.

    I wouldn't personally single out Locklear, he was quite an endearing character in the game, the visuals and design on almost every character were sub par to say the least.

    Betrayal at Krondor, I had forgotten how fine was Mr Halford's prose for the game, in some ways more enjoyable than Mr Feist's novels. The riddle chests are most pleasantly puzzling conundrums, and the broad range of totally mundane cultural weapons and armour a refreshing change.

    One Albert.

    Wouldn't mind something like the Eye of Rhynn or the Hand of Kwll from the Corum books, one supposes however that these mutilations would need to be garnered in scripted sequences (to prevent repititive loss of the same extremity,) perhaps stupid or risky decisions in the text based encounters? Whatever the case I unfortunately would not wish injuries to be dealt with as easily as in Dragon Age, injuries were pathetically trivial in that game, at least for my tastes i'm afraid to say.

    Became somewhat overexcited perusing the attractive rodent thread.

    We ought to have a horse and covered wagon, a black covered wagon with a red stripe along the side. The horse ought to be a large talking black Vaillian stallion, with an unusual mane, a dread fear of Dragons snatching him up from the earth and the resulting flight, and a sense of derision for jesters and such. He will haul around his fellow adventurers, sometimes known as the primary conglomerate.

    A Blade Runner rpg, an existential tour de force, focusing not on the titular retirement specialists but a single replicant: Where-in we can choose to accept our programming, our roles and their limitations. Or choose to not go quiet into that goodnight, to scream for life in the face of our creators and struggle against impossibility. To fight not for victory, but simply because the struggle is right and our participation is worthwhile.

    Legacy of Tim Cain: Soul Raver.

    Will Eternity really have such gratuitous chest shots, if so I may have to inform the Sarkeesian Death Commando's of this blatant demonstration of misogyny and the patriarchy!
  19. Nonek
    I agree, this was totally the wrong tone for an anniversary celebration, from my own experience it should be far more silent, uncomfortable and awkward.

    I think to be honest that Firefly as a product is quite a hard sell, many of its themes are existential and ocassionally nihilistic, it's an ensemble piece with some rather traditionally unlikable characters (though I find Jayne to be a refreshing change of personality,) and there is no clear moral message being promoted like in most popular sci-fi, such as Star Wars or Trek. That said I find it far more to my taste for these elements being included, but one can see the general public finding it a touch off putting.
  21. Nonek
    Yes indeed, along with a little Ghosts and Goblins, in the form of armour equalling health. One warning there are no save points on levels, so death means try again from the beginning.

    Ah thank you, only just whetted my appetite on the television series and film, but Book's background certainly explains the references in "War Stories." The medicines miss Sara was carrying and her routine medical check up on Arial seemed too much of a Chekhov's gun to not be indicative of something, along with her obvious attraction to Mr Reynold's not being acted upon as is shown in "Heart of Gold," and her decision thereafter to leave the ship.

    Volgarr the Viking. Purchased for $9 off of GOG, so around £6.25, extremely unforgiving game but very enjoyable and well worth the money.
  24. Nonek
    Always pondered whether Book was an overseer, sent by the government faction who helped Simon free his sister, to chart their progress and make reports on how she performed in the field. Anybody else think Ms Sara was dying?

    I simply felt no need to re-iterate my various complaints about DA2 Decado, which were spelled out in the first of these threads, link ahoy: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/64006-dragon-age-inquisition/page-6?do=findComment&comment=1344974 As you can see, they're rather scathing, but even so I must admit that I did get my moneys worth from the product. I will freely admit that I can be overly analytical at times however, a failing I am somewhat proud of for my sins.
