There is no healing magic in PE's world, meaning that your party get their health back only by resting. Death is permanent and currently there is no way to bring members of your party back to life, although in normal and lower difficult settings party members don't die but are only maimed, which means that they get heavy penalties to their stats and skills until you rest. Current plan is dropped all "cool down" abilities from game, instead of those there is per rest abilities, per battle abilities and abilities that use resouces like wounds (Monk's abilities) or Focus (cipher's abilities), that are renewed by different mechanics like getting damage (monk's wounds) or doing damage (cipher's focus). Unlimited inventory referes to stash, which is limited use invetario, where which player can access on save zones like cities and camp areas. No kill xp, is because of that game use objective xp system where you get xp by solving encounter, which can be by killing monsters in that encounter, sneak past them by using secret path, by diplomancy or some other way, and nevertheless which option you choose you get xp from that encounter. And depending on which option you chose you may or may not get bonus rewards like loot from corpses. Current plans are to limit resting in camp areas and save zones. Which may or may not be good idea.

Gameplay. It was promise of IE style of gameplay that made me to gave it gazzillion (several hundred) dollars , so that is part that I am most excited to see. Although I also am quite excited to see what kind world, characters and story they will make.

Last I checked war in Syria is still ongoing. Putin was one of the visible people, but he was not sole instigator or even first (although he was vocal and has lot of influence), in worlds political circles that persuade US and some other countries not to intervene with force in it after chemical weapon attack by making Syria to promise that they destroy their chemical weapons. One of the most major operator in this deal and carrying it out was and is OPCW, which recived the prize for doing that.

Aren't taxes tied in income, so you need pay them even after dead if you still have income and usually it is also so that all your income and proberty belongs to your heirs (of course usually there isn't living deads to be considered).

Malala Yousafzai or maybe it would better say that her father is currently multi millionare, so they aren't in any dire need of money either. Malala was good canditate for peace prize, because she speaks for education, diplomacy and peaceful solutions and even after she was shot by Taliban she still speaks that it's better to negotiate with them than try to overthrow them with violence. And she is also girl and muslim and her ordeal is publicly known, which are all resons why she would have been quite inspiring recipient. But I think that Nobel comitee didn't give her price because she is quite young to carry burdens that comes with the prize and reciving the price could have made her even higher priority target for fundementalist fanatics that shot her in the first place. Some could also argue that her life time achivements are still quite slow and other nominees are actually done more for world peace, but some would also argue that this is aslo true when one looks some previous recipients. I personally think that OPCW is one of those organizations that acctually do such work that I don't see that Nobel prize is wasted on them, but I can't say that they where this year's best nominee, but world is much better place because of its work.

Very probably, because it is lower end machines. Although 10.6 inch monitor is quite small, which probably will hinder playing experience, as game is mainly targeted on bigger screens. And you probably need mouse or touch pad (which I think is in keyboard add-on for Surface machines), to play it, as in my understanding Obsidian don't have any plans to support touch screens.

Ciphers seems to be quite intresting class. Close combat magic users with ability to use enemies against each other. And I love their backgrounds story and reactivity pontential what it gives, as most people don't actually know enough about ciphers which probably mean that they will have positive or negative prejudices against them, which can lead to much different reactions when comparing to other classes.

When we speak immersion it should also be noted that there is several types of immersion, which make it hard to tell what kind games and functions are immersive Wikipedia quote

But video don't show that did he hit actually anything and or even what and how far he shoots. But it shows that his barrel moves which means that at least all bullets didn't hit in target if it wasn't very close.

skip 10 minutes and be amazed Should I be amazed of rapid fire with Dragunov or full auto with some light mg looking gun in about 11 minutes? And why I should be amazed?

I disagree that he hit only 1 in 5 at that distance. But whatever. Clearly they shoot it with intent and a good measure of control and precision, people don't just get suppressed with sound. If someone appeared in that Navy Seal guy's vision in those jungle I'm pretty sure he'd hit him. In jungle or forrest you most time shoot under 20 m, as you don't actually see any futher if you don't happen to be some sort of clearing. With that sort of distance you don't actually need aim that much to hit human size target, of course enemy combatants are usually behind trees, rocks, etc. that make hitting them harder, which is reason why you want to suppress them until you are in cover too, because longer you stand in open it's more likely that you are dead. Standing and shooting or walking/running and shooting happens usually only first few seconds of encounter with enemy or if you are trying to storm in building or advance to better position, because standing in fire fight puts you in unfavourable position as you are quite easy to hit.

No, I think he hit plenty. If that video isn't good enough for you here is a Navy Seal video. Professional soldiers do shoot machineguns standing. (1:50, 2:34, etc) You can shoot from standing postion with machine gun, but you hit maybe 2 from 10 shots in 1 m diameter target from 50m, and from 100m and futher you probably don't even hit target once. In first video they seemed to practice support fire for advancement, where most important thing is to get lots of bullets to air so that enemy has something else to do than shoot your squad (meaning staying in cover). And I can say that women can give support fire with PKM (which was used in first video) in same as men, as it don't reguire that much strength and you do it only until your squad is in cover.

And as you can see from waving barrel and dust traces, bullets go everywhere but target.

You can't shoot machinegun from standing position so that you can hit reliably to anything, because it kick back is so strong that nobody can control it, especially on full auto. And when you shoot it from mount as one should always do actually need much less strength than assault rifle to shoot.

Really? I didn't know this was possible. Yup, you get better level sculpting powers when you get 5000 and 7000 followers. Which is reason why it think it should be easier to get in bronze age, so that you get better houses faster.

I think that they start sculpting level too low. Because when you get all sculpting god powers that they have in beta sculpting becomes much faster and easier as you can move ten levels of terrain at same time. What I most dislike currently is digging, because it need dozens of clicks to get through several levels of terrain which is just annoying as you need dig up those resource chests. Another thing that is bit frustrating is how fast your followers die when they are exploring if you don't have totem up, which of course is emphasized by all the bugs that currently obsess totem system (like pathfinding bugs, totem disappearing when you go in multiplayer, story mode or restart the game). But overall I have enjoyed my time with beta. Hopeful this weeks content patch make it possible to get bronze age without dozens multiplayer matches (multiplayer is fun but currently there is too few players, especially as you can only play with your friends in steam) and fixes some of those pathfinding bugs.

Hey look, we are all aware that gamers are sick to the back teeth of PC bull****. That does not preclude a reasoned debate on the matter. I agree and I want to raise another point. Lets say for argument sake people that are pushing feminist ideas or equality have permeated the gaming scene with there ideals of fairness. What negative impact has this had to your personal gaming experience? For starters it ruined many fantasy settings with the stupid insistence on gender equality where it made completely no sense. Okay can you give some examples please I didn't realize that fantasy was the domain of male characters only? Try any pseudo-medieval setting. You cannot have such society undergo the cliché war/plague/famine story and still pretend that modern notions of freedom/equality was an option. Of course you can, that is why it is called fantasy and not historic, pseudo historic or alternatice historic. Fantasy universum give their writers ability to explore different kinds of societies than we have or have had in out world or mix idelogies and cultural models from our societies to make new societies. So it is one of core tendencies of fantasy writing to bring modern view points in settings that otherwise feel historic, because it gives you more freedom to do what you want in your world and it helps readers to identify with your characters.

Concerning Dead Space 3 and cancellation of Dead Space 4 http://uk.gamespot.com/news/ea-denies-dead-space-series-cancellation-6404823 So I wouldn't go to say anything sure about their sale targets. https://twitter.com/Monkey_Pants/status/308954581465980930

5 million sold games should mean that game brings at least 100 million dollars for publisher ($20 per sold copy). I am bit sceptic that every game that EA produces cost hundred million dollars to make and advertise.

If you want to be more accurate then viewing point that game uses is bird's eye view and backgrounds are rendered in isometric (or some other axonometric) projection, so that everyting in screen looks like it stays in same distance from you when view screen moves. Similar to IE games.

I read them if they are good, I read one if I like it I read others and if in some point of play through it starts to feel more like chore than something that I enjoy to do then I usually stop reading them.

Don't be so chauvinistic. If in Christian Europe female warriors can't be (and women's armor can't be also) it's not mean what in entire world cant be such things. But that first picture which you post was part of Hindu goddess sculpture from 18th or 19th century and no human have ever weared it and it was not desinged to be armour only actually present goddess breasts in piece of art. I though you would like to know actual purpose of that breast plate as you were so keen to point out unfairness of saying that eastern armor looks like wizards armor. And saying that Indians used brass armors in combat in 18th or 19th centuries is quite unfair claim.
