I don't really see anything here that I haven't already dealt with in all my posts thus far. At this point I'm going to avoid writing another long post that would just rehash things I've already said multiple times. Are you actually willing to engage with the topic and consider our point of view? Because I feel that I've made a very good case here that is being largely ignored and dismissed with a simplistic "but Tolkien!" argument that would have me play-whack-a-mole. I didn't see in your post anything that would make me excited of possibilities of orcs in PoE, but also I didn't see anything that I full heartily oppose, which is why I didn't engaged in conversation with you as I didn't see that there would be anything for me or community in that conversation. But Macrae's view on topic seemed to me be bit simplistic, which is why I asked they to specify some of their points in the issue. And I would point that reason why I and probably some others want to see dwarfs and elves in the game is because of archetypes that Tolkien created for them, but Tolkien's archetype for orcs is such that I personally wouldn't want to see it in the Eora, and same goes for most other orc/ish archetypes that I know. I haven't also seen in this conversation any good example of addition of culture for orcs that wouldn't make them appalling addition for me, mainly because most examples give would make orcs as a race become also a culture, which is thing that I wouldn't want to see in the game. Although I had to admit that I have skimmed most of the conversation so I probably have missed some details.

How those cultures would suit perfectly for orcs? And do you see that orcs in PoE should follow classic fantasy ideology where race = culture? And if so why you see that PoE should do such exception with orcs? And if orcs are added in game should they follow suit of Tolkien, D&D, Warhammer, Warcraft or maybe some other archetype for orcs as there aren't orcish archetypes that persist through different fantasy settings as there is for elves and dwarfs (even though there is variety in these also, but Tolkien-ism comes nearly always through as it is said to be case with PoE also) ?

Polyamory (relationships with multiple partners at same time) is legal in most of the countries in world if people in such relationship don't try to make their relationship official, being illegal only in those countries that forbid sex outside of marriage and don't recognize polygamous marriages, although most countries that recognize polygamous marriages actually only recognize polygynous (one man and more than one women) marriages. Uganda is one of those countries that has legal status for polygynous marriages. Polygynous marriages have legal status in more countries than same-sex marriages. Polygynous living arrangements are against law (usually anti-bigamy laws) in fewer countries than same-sex partnership living arrangements, although in Western countries this is vice versa. Polyandry (one woman and more than one man) and group marriage (more than one member of each/both genders), don't have legal recognition in any country in world, but in some areas polyandry is practiced because it is part of tradition.

How the hell does that thing work to begin with? It's like putting a bunch of pigeons in a car and they making it lift if they were all flying at the same time.

Where Nazis have brought down legitimate government, with protests that they spearheaded?

Now you're just nit picking. If Obsidian included orcs, they'd obviously give them ethnic groups. They'd just need an origin civilization so that they wouldn't just jump fully formed into already existing nations without a context for it. If the intermingled nature of Eora's cultures is because of population movements, orcs just need a point of origin. You misunderstood my point, which was that there isn't currently any major cultures that is dominated by any one race, but only some cultures have dominant ethnicities in all/some of its races, but all over all major cultures are mix of all or most of the races. So adding major culture in game that is dominated by one race is against this world building ideology. Making orcs belonging in primitive culture that hasn't mixed with other races is just too generic fantasy cliché that I think that Eora would do much better without it.

Thyrtan and Calbandra are ethnic groups inside of human race, not 'full' races themselves. And they aren't dominant ethic groups in any culture, but dominant human ethic groups in said cultures. So they don't work as example why there should be culture where orcs as race are dominant. But I could see that in expansion/new game could lead us in new continent where there could be some new culture that has people from some race and ethnicities (like for example orcs, with several ethnicities and new ethnicities for other races) in their ranks that aren't seen anywhere else in Eora, although that would make it, but offering it as playable would probably need story with new protagonist instead of continuing story of PoE's protagonist.

In my understanding Obsidian tries to make it so with PoE that race != culture, but that you can find members of every race from all, at least major, of the cultures in the game, which means that orcs as race from singular culture wouldn't fit very well in the game. And Hun inspired orcs aren't very original idea as Warhammer's orcs are quite heavily inspired by huns.

I took from me 57 hours according to raptr (software that logs your game running times addition to many other functions) to get 100% in AC4, and I wasn't very focus oriented in way that I played that game. You play a lot faster than I do. I'm at 27% completion after 20 hours played. At that rate, it will take me a little under 80 hours to 100% the game. If I remember correctly your progress become much more faster more you play, because you get your ship upgraded, get better gear for your character, story missions become less numerous and you open all fast travel locations which make collecting things much faster.

I don't think that is ever been biggest moving object made by man (ships dominate that category quite single handedly), but biggest shovel and maybe biggest land vehicle maybe tittles that it has owned. Images are cool regardless.

They might not have those values set where they want them yet. I mean... ONE Athletics to charge a guy holding a hostage at blade-point before he can react?! Really? Apparently the Athletics scale is binary: 0 is you have to stop and pant for a few minutes after every step you take. 1 is Bionic Man. I think that 1 athletics is about max that characters in demo build can have in that point of game, as there is no skill point dealing at character creation, meaning that characters have only their class bonuses for skill checks.

In my understanding talent system isn't yet fully ready and I would guess that they don't limit number of weapon sets in demo build because it make easier test and show things in it's limited scope.

When they are all female, how does it make sense to call them female in the first place? Sounds more like a biological definition in this case. In particular, if you can't be a male, then reproduction without males is not scary in the first place. The angst is all about being left out of the fun They are hybridization species between striped whiptail and western whiptail, which both have males, but hybridization of these species cause for some reason that no healthy males are born and as all whiptail lizards can use parthenogenesis to reproduce it has made possible that female members of this species can still reproduce by themselves, which has lead existence of all-female population, even though there is technically possibility for males.

I actually do think that reproduction without men is way scarier than the usual zombie acpocalypse everyone is always so scared about.. New Mexico whiptail (also known as with nick name lesbian lizards), all female lizard species that reproduces trough parthenogenesis

what does happen when matter and antimatter meet? i don't know whithout looking it up on some physics website, but it can't be healthy Rapid change from (anti-)matter to other forms of energy, mostly to electromagnetic radiation, so that there is no more of substance with lower quantity.

It is nice that you think that sexual dimorphism in high fantasy setting is same for all races as it is for human population in our world, especially when it don't stop women to be explorers, fighters, etc. even in our world let alone in world where there is magic that changes all power dynamics between sexes wholly.

What game's frame rate has to do with your monitor's refresh rate?

When speaking about twitch/'youtube gaming' personalities it should be remembered that they are first and fore most entertainers, who found some gimmick (like high level gameplay, gameplay commentary, reacting happenings in game with entertaining way, or some other act that entertains people) that gets people watch them day after day, giving them ability to do it as their job. Finding your audience in entertainment business isn't always most easiest thing to do, so when you find gimmick that works you usually keep doing it until it don't work anymore. So I wouldn't go judge people that get all/most of their lively hood by playing/commenting/criticizing games aren't gamers enough to call themselves gamers, even if you don't like gimmick that they use to entertain their audience.

It can be if you don't do anything that make you breath heavily, as then cold air can easily burn your lungs, which is very unpleasant thing to experience. And winds in those temperatures are quite chilling.

On hot summers - yes. Summer last year we had 41 degrees followed by weeks of humid 38 degrees and no wind. What I did today: more classic strongman exercises. 42Kg dumbbell power cleans and pressing with shoulder only and no leaning. Fun exercise. I though that last summer was hottest summer in recorded history of Austria, so I would not take it best example of normal temperatures.

It is normal in Austria to have temperature to go over 30 degree of Celsius at night?

In that part he explained that he will equip sword for the barbarian to replace lost axe because he don't want hit enemies with fist and axe.

He said in the video that "probably should switched battle axes for maximal carnage,'muhhahhaaha', he is gone, but now the battle axes are out for the next fight".
