Different steels are nice touch which is missing from many rpg game systems or they have quite minor role.

Right way to do 180 degree turn with bike

That sound like system that will remove some annoying inventario searching that IE games have so much. Was it so that you could only access stash in save zones like cities and camp sites?

Right off the top of my head there's Battlefield 3. To add few: Witcher 1 & 2 were made to PC. Witcher 2 was ported to XO about year after its PC release. (Atari) SimCity is purely PC game.(EA) The Sims 3 was released on PC and then ported on other devices.(EA) The Sims Medieval is only for PC and mobile platforms(EA) Spore is only for pc(EA) Dragon Age Orgins had different version on pc and consoles (EA Bioware) The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom, pc only(Ubisoft) Anno 2070, pc only(Ubisoft) Total War Battles : Shogun, pc only (Sega) Civilization V, pc only ( 2K Games) Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, PC only (THQ) Might & Magic Heroes VI, pc only (Ubisoft) And there is more, but these are some biggest names that are easily shown that they aren't ported from console version, most cases because there is no console version.

Gimli's Bearded Axe out of Damascus steel. Smith has also other nice videos where he makes weapons from different fantasy films and series, but I think this is probably best as he show how Damascus steel is made.

How about second hand car sellers? Pretty sure they make a killing. And they are reason why every car manufacturer uses different spare parts and why they cost so much. You usually can buy "new" used car cheaper than fix your old one.

It is Win8 (basically) plus the more pared down gaming OS. I could easily see it getting to 3GB since they've stuffed just about as many features into the on3 as baseline windows has- Kinect, IE, video handlers, internet handlers, network handlers, updaters, hardware drivers- and Win7+ really requires 4GB RAM on PC. And it will have to dynamically handle RAM and other resource allocations across the two OS. It really isn't the pared down specialist gaming system that consoles used to be. Surface would a good parallel- 32GB storage? More than half isn't available even immediately after purchase... My Windows 8 runs under 1 GB of ram, if I close all foreground applications, meaning that antivirus, firewall, sgl servers, file search, email services, etc. thing are still running that you don't have in Xbox One. And for example Windows Phone 8 uses same kernel and runs on phones that have only 512 MB of ram without any problems.

Per wiki, Henry VIII died in 1547 while codpieces stayed in use until the 1590's. Yup, but I can't find any armor from Elizabethan era that has one? So were those armors that had one old ones from Henry VIII reign or did that fashion live outside of England?

3GB is too much only for the OSs, so if that is correct number I think that they allocate some memory constanly for apps and videos that run on windows kernel side. Which would make sense as they want that somewhat instant switching between those operating systems and running apps like skype or internet explorer at the same time with the games. One's OS architehtute as far I know is following: bottom there is hyper-v and top of that runs two virtual machines which other has xbox game os and other windows kernel and some metro like gui. Xbox game os is the one which run games and sevices that they need and windows kernel side runs apps, videos, downloads etc. and services that those need. This gives them ability to switch between these two os very fast as they only need to change which virtual machine is shown in the monitor.

Question, do anybody know if sexualised codpieces were used in new armors after Henry VIII reign or did that fashion died with its inventor?

Concept art from movie Thor. Costume as whole has it problems, but breast plate looks like that its designer is at least given some though for its main purpose (protection), any thoughts?

I am not sure about this, but for fantasy leather armour it has some merits

"When every female character is “sexy” by default, do you find that it lessens the effect/allure of the characters whose sexual appeal devs actually try to emphasize for narrative reasons?" -some internet person

Someone in 1958 decided that they can take it back to use, although only in the flag.

Yes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Air_Force http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training_Air_Wing,_Finnish_Air_Force More specific information about it can be find here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Early_20th_century_Europe

In my opinion Desura fits quite nicely for digital distribution, some people wanted in this thread http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/61022-how-exactly-will-linux-support-be-implemented/ tarball installer for physical copy.

That flag is not finnish SS division flag, but finnish air force flag that is older than natzi flag, party or ideology.

Is this supposed to be armor? You were almost 3/3 until this showed. In my opinion she wears only adventure gear, so no armour. Although pants look bit too tight, but overall look is quite nice, with dramatic fluttery cape, simple short sword and grim look. And I put it picture here because I would like my adventures look dramatic and nice even without armour and there was not thread for such things and I decided that I will not create one for just one picture, especially when there was already suggestion that we talk about clothing styles that will be in PE in this thread and nobody seemed to mind about that. And I didn't put any explanations in pictures because I thought that everyone here has eyes and intelligence to see what pictures represent by just looking them, but now I see error in my logic and I apologize that.

I thought someone from the dev team had jumped into that update thread (with that godlike concept art in it) and confirmed that estocs were a weapon they're putting into the game. Alas... I have failed to locate such a post. T_T Josh confirmed it in this thread http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/62316-armour-weapon-designs-a-plea-part-iii/?p=1310830

Jousting armours also have stronger protection in shield side than lance side, as it was the side where jousters aim.

If I have understood correctly, then all major cultures in PE are multiracial by nature, so racism should not be necessarily directed towards race of character but ethnic heritage of the character and physical traits of the character. For example orlans have been victimized and marginalized because of their size and because they aren't orginal members of any of the major cultures (I have understood correctly) and godlike people born different looking, which is why some cultures discriminate against them and some cultures worship them. In my understanding Drywood is cultural mixing pot because of major cultures colonialistic expansion to the area and native cultures that you can find in there, so there is lot of oportunitys for ethnic based racism and bigotry without going typical fantasy route, where elves and dwarfs have old grudge against each other, humans are self centered and despise other races are minor and are looked down by other races. So for example all Vailians, elves, dwarfes, humans, godlikes, aumauas and orlans, look down native inhabitants of the Drywood and probably in some extent other major cultures.
