Please give us an optional third person camera.
That was not the reason for it, Bethesda fallouts did not use shooting mechanics like "you point, you hit" it was more if your stats say you will miss, you will miss even if you are 1inch away from the enemy. NewVegas added actual aiming and using sights, so they are capable of doing it properly even when using ****ty engine I don't think that was true outside of vats. I seem to recall skills affecting damage but not whether you could hit your target or not. Or perhaps that was just in New Vegas. In any case, the aiming mechanics for third person shouldn't be the same as for first person. Allowing for the two should impact the design significantly.

I would imagine allowing both FPV and TPV iisn't just a cosmetic change and it would generally screw up the shooting mechanics, for at least one of the perspectives. The Bethesda Fallout games, for instance, had terrible shooting, and I can only assume the ability to use both perspectives was part of it.

Not even in the top 5! With guys like Pierce, Harding, Hoover, Johnson, & Nixon blocking the way that is a tough summit to reach. I'd imagine the patriot act would trump all, given your libertarian inclinations.

Basically the US doesn't seem to want to make up its mind. Are you guys a nation a or a federation of nations? If you picked one things would be simpler.

For real? Never heard that one. Still I can see abandoning historical symbols because they have been appropriated by folks I'd rather not be associated with That one wasn't appropriated, though. It always symbolized what it symbolizes today. If you have ever read a single word I have written here on that subject you would realize how wrong that notion is. IS NOT EQUAL TO The one on the left fought in a war he didn't start under that flag. Which by the way was not the flag of the country that started the war over their "peculiar institution". The one on the right wants to start a war because he never bothered to read a history book about the flags they wave around. Or maybe they did. That would be even worse. Of course a guy wearing the uniform on the left started the thing on the right so there is that. As far as whether they have been appropriated I'll let Robert E Lee speak for himself on the subject of what should be done with his flag: "I think it wisest not to keep open the sores of war, but to follow the example of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, and to commit to oblivion the feelings it engendered." He wrote that in a letter in 1865. Sounds like good advice for someone who wanted to honor historical figures. Follow their wishes. It was originally the flag of the army fighting a war for the right to own slaves. It was later, during that same war, used as a component of the flag flown by the confederate states, in a design explicitly created to represent the confederacy and its belief in slavery and white supremacy.

Hey guys, I just want to point out that Guard Dog clearly stated that DNA evidence was a gay thing. It no longer is, but it was. Gay thing. Forgive, like GD says above, but never forget.

Trump isn't stirring the pot or delivering ultimatums. He's going on about whatever his attention was drawn to, deliberately or accidentally, before a new squirrel goes by for him to stare at. He is specifically a fool.

Fraankly, I'd put this whole heritage thing squarely on American culture. The thing where you lot feel the need to specify, for example, that you are a quarter german, 1/8 african, 4/19 martian, 7/5 teletubby, and 2/3 lebanese sounds really stupid to me. More importantly it's also kinda subreptitiously racist and openly nazi in spirit.

SUCH POSTMODERN NEO-MARXISM REEEEEEEEEE OK, hypothetical question. I just posted an article that categorically states Donald Trump accepted a huge back channel bribe from Saudi Arabia to not make a big deal over that reporter. But the article was from Mother Jones. Do you believe it? Or that Hillary Clinton not only ordered the hit on Vince Foster, she actually shot him herself then put the pistol in his dead hand. But the source is The Blaze. Do you believe it? The question isn't for me, but regardless of the obviously dubious sources, the first article seems a lot more believable than the second. "What, Saudi Arabia paid the US money to make something go away? Why, how preposterous!" Is a thought that never crossed anyone's mind,

Wait, I just discovered Kavanaugh claimed a devil's triangle is a drinking game. I'm confused, is openly lying a requirement to join the Supreme Court or is it an exclusionary factor?

It all the depends on whether the senate flips when the midterms come around. It's not too likely, but it's currently looking like Trump is doing his best to make it as likely as possible.

While it's not exactly the same, the president firing the guy who can fire the special investigator that is investigating the president, because he refuses to do said firing is, pretty much, how Nixon got impeached. Cool sentence.

Following the Watergate script seems insanely stupid but, given that this is Trump, it's not that surprising. Besides, Trump has been consequence free so far, so why would that change now.

News has already come around that Rosenstein was summoned to the WH, but that he refuses to resign. May be speculation, I don't know.
