This isn't PoE3, though. You might as well go on Grounded's forums and say you want it to be PoE3. Avowed is not PoE3, it is something else, even if set in the same IP. Also, that Avowed is being made doesn't mean Obsidian won't make PoE3 at some point. I certainly hope they make it.

So what is a good list of mods to use with Brave New World, if one was going to start a new playthrough today?

Sure if you wanna be a quitter. Thinking about it, for the longest time though I thought I should be cremated when I die. But now I wanna get buried just so I can get have a nice tombstone somewhere with "But my backlog." as an epitaph.

Well, that would be the point, really. Having Obsidian design an open world fantasy RPG that doesn't jettison every other system and all semblance of game design, for the sake of the open world. Getting combat akin to Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, for instance, would be a good start. Also, I thought Skyrim was already the shallow version of Skyrim.

The truth is that the English have been, historically, very focused, very effective genocidal imperialistic maniacs. They were also particularly good at the whole dividing and conquering thing. So the whole "we're posh, prudish, sensitive buggers who stammer a lot and star in romantic comedies" is just a big sham. I imagine 18th and 19th century English people driving colonization were probably more like Jeremy Irons playing a villain than like Hugh Grant playing some kind of knob.

"The greatest trick the English ever pulled was convince the world they didn't exist."

If the exhaust fumes don't get you first.

Very low population density.

That doesn't make any sense? Assuming Biden is the shirt, is Trump the pants or the feces? If the candidates are all pieces of clothing, is the libertarian point that hypothetical diarrhea guy should have gotten a new hat instead? But if the point is that Trump is the feces, perhaps the argument should be that the holy constitutional pants are too restrictive and old and probably should be updated and improved in order to allow for better protection and cleaning, instead of working against the lower appendages it's supposed to help protect.

Kind of., but not really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatball Also Swedish meatballs are kind of terrible. Italian ones are much better.

Paella is ok, but Portuguese rice dishes are clearly better. Generally Spanish food is good, especially if compared no Northern European cuisine. But Portuguese, Italian and French are all better.

You would do well to change your font color.

Portugal was under the Spanish crown for only 80 years. So not exactly ages. Dire Spanish mismanagement led us to kick the Spaniards to the curb rather quickly. Unfortunately, we just got a bunch of chinless wonders to take power, instead, so things didn't exactly improve. Still, we did manage to have better food than the Spanish.

I'd argue it's impossible as I don't think there is a single game with good combat that uses the two perspectives interchangeably.

Well, yeah, kind of, but it'd be best to use good games as points of comparison.

I'd rather have more resources invested into first person, than dilute the experience by catering to two different viewpoints. Better physics with full body awareness would be great, for instance. Proper support for non 16:9 resolutions with comprehensive FOV options would be great too.

Well, not much to see here, yet. Still, I've been waiting for Obsidian to dip their toes in fantasy first person RPG waters for a long time, so this is exciting. If this is open world, it's nice to be looking forward to one of those for the first time in over a decade. On the other hand, if they went and made an Ultima Underworld type game, I'd be very happy too. Anyway, give us more info!

The only time there werel rumours of a US president not leaving office was fear mongering right wing "articles" about Obama circulating through social media some years ago. They were never taken even slightly seriously by anyone. This time around the only reason that is a talking point is because Trump is patently not all there and a not an intelligent man, while he has been refusing to say yes or no when asked whether he will accept the result of the election if he loses. He had an interview on Fox News just yesterday where the question was asked: Not to say that Trump will refuse to leave. The man has the spinal fortitude of a quadriplegic neothelid and always backs down at the slightest real pressure.

People post interesting things in twitter threads which suck. As such here is a pretty good explanation of libertarianism: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1284565269277360128.html TLDR version: Just go read it if you are interested you lazy person.

30 years ago was the 80s. AKA, part of the late 1900s. I think your old age is showing.

So my kid has had a barely used XBOX ONE for a year and it's the crappiest piece of hardware that I have ever bought. So the advantage of consoles over PC used to be ease of use. Plug and play, put in a game and you are playing. That has certainly been thrown out the window, at least for the XBOX ONE. Endless updates, an absolutely horrible interface, apps, apps, apps. login to a Microsoft account, login to developer specific accounts, limited hard drive space, long loading times. And then you have to pay a monthly fee, just to play games online or even just to speak to other people. It's essentially all the disadvantages of a console and all the disadvantages of a PC rolled into one device, and you have to pay monthly for the extra incovenience.

It's actually somewhat notable the way she lists out a bunch of racist dog-whistles without ever actually mentioning the race of the targets. I guess if one is really naive, it's possible to assume she is just disparaging poor people but, of course, that isn't exactly a positive take on its own either.

"Trump is not a moron. He is however *an enumeration of moronic qualities and/or actions*"

II assume 40% as well, but I don't really know.

I pay about 25% of my income in taxes. About 40% of that goes to healthcare apparently. VAT here is 25%. The point, however, that you seem to be missing is that even when taking taxes into account, people in the developed world pay much less for healthcare than the US.
