Tyranny isn't WoD related according to Paradox and PoE is Obsidian's property not Paradox also leads from PoE have been working only for short time different project, which they moved after PoE was finished. Where Tyranny has been in oven for sometime already gathering from fact that they plan to release Tyranny during this year which usually means that they have developed it already for quite long time. Also Paradox has not had really time to get anyone to make anything WoD related in such shape that it could be announced. Only WoD products (meaning computer and console games) that we can really except hear this year are ones that they started before Paradox's acquisition or where they seek public funding (as it isn't usually that good idea to announce thing if you can't show anything to public for long time after announcement).

From how they introduced Brian in live stream I gathered that he is the lead.

I am pretty sure that they don't use PoE setting, as one it is world where Evil has won (and PoE/Eora is setting where everything is nuanced) and two they didn't use PoE in their trailer anyway which indicates they don't want people link these two games to belong in same setting. So it seems to be new IP with new setting.

40-hour game is enough if content quality is higher IMO, but I would guess that for many the fear is that they will not actually see content quality improving even though game time is cut shorter.

They say that game is coming out this year, so it is quite clear that they have developed it along side with PoE and I would say that it is unlikely that they have had time to port PoE tech to unity 5 even for this game.

I would call theme Evil. As it sets in world where evil has won.

From trailer one could gather that game uses Unity + PoE's technologies. and is isometric.

Florida seems to be was Trump&Clinton show. Poor Rubio, even home state don't like EDIT: Also first numbers from North Carolina predict clear Trump&Clinton win (Clinton won) EDIT2: Clinton seems to go up from poll predictions, if it holds to end Sanders is virtually out. EDIT3: First numbers from Ohio predict massive victory for Clinton. For GOP side numbers predict Kasich, but Trump is close (Clinton & Kasich won) EDIT4: First numbers from Missouri also predict big win for Clinton&Trump. EDIT5: Also Illinois seems to go for Trump&Clinton axle

Onion seems to represent only most vital and interesting information about every candidate and doing better job than mainstream media, which is bit scary.

This election seems to have everything and we are still in primaries

Hope died when Paradox said that they can confirm that it isn't WoD related on their Facebook page.

Matt Rorie comes back to Obsidain

It is evil genius 2 obviously

Its not available in my country? Elerond please post links people can access....not everyone lives in Europe You need to blame Americans for this iniquity, as it is on official Saturday Night Live channel, meaning that it is NBC that has decided that people in South Africa can't watch it.

SNL sketch about Clinton's adaptability

However, he's a communist, even if he doesn't realize it, so he get's it wrong even when he's on to something. Here's the correct way to do it: She is smoking hot ....Vampire cult sign me up Vampires suck. I would that is whole point in vampirism

You can't use the same definition for atheist in a world where gods are a matter of faith (ours) and in a world where gods are a matter of facts (Eora). Pallegina's belief that kith can (and should) create their own principles and aspirations is as close as an atheist as one can be in such a setting. Of course you can use same definition. There is no point to change definition of word like atheist for fantasy world just so that you can have somebody that is called atheist there. If people can't be atheist in fantasy world because of nature of gods there then there is no point to claim that characters are atheists. Pallegina is quite far from atheist in said setting, as she blames gods for her misery, which itself make her very non-atheistic person. If we want companion that don't really care at all about gods then Devil of Caroc is probably closest and Kana second, because they don't really have passions or motivations that are linked to gods. But undeniably of existence of gods in PoE's setting makes existence of atheistic character near impossibility. Only Iovara style reason to deny Gods godhood or not knowing about existence of gods can make character really be an atheist or non-theist in such setting. Otherwise it is just character's stance towards authority of gods. Characters can be ones that believe self reliance over asking help/permission from gods or they may be ones that don't do anything without blessing from gods or most likely something from the middle. But everybody is free to define words like they want, but if you go against common definitions it is usually better to mention such thing in one's post so that others know what definition one is using.

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio aren't authoritarian? And they would respect limits of the office? Are you sure about that?

Sometimes there are moments that bring glimmer of light in this darkness

That isn't automatically true. You also need narrative arc and mechanics need to be made in such way that playing game again don't become uninteresting work where player hunts those reactivity nodes. For example Walking Dead and other Telltale Games' highly reactive adventure games aren't interesting to play again because their narrative arc mainly same regardless of what you do and seeing results that are caused by different choices have hard time to keep player's interest up. And things aren't helped by fact that their mechanics aren't something that interest player without story and they have high change to become blockers for players who aren't immersed by the story.

I would say that Pallegina is quite far from atheist as is those druidic orders in Twin Elms. Pallegina for example resents gods, especially Hylea who she seem to blame lots of misery in her life. (So she may not worship gods but she accepts their existence and don't even argue against their place in world) Druidic orders in Twin Elms not just accept existence of gods, but they disagree with them how world should be run. So categorizing them as people who don't believe existence of gods is bit too much. Raedric would not work that well if he was character that didn't accept existence of gods. Or his story line should be much different.

When we divide character to 6 attributes that describe them then possibility for system that can simulates real world in any meaningful degree is lost. But it is always possibly come up simulative rationales that explain what said attributes can give character abilities/bonuses that rule systems says that they do. Priority in PoE's attribute system's design was not make system simulative, but to enable as many builds as possible. Although they didn't succeed in some cases that well. Like for example they failed to make constitution attractive attribute overall and for some classes some attributes are just too important. But maybe they get closer to their in second try if they make PoE2

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ben-beachy/the-wto-just-ruled-agains_b_9307884.html USA used WTO to block India from building massive solar farm because India gave governmental subsidizes to manufactures that used Indian labor and produced their goods in India. EDIT: This is of course interesting thing for US to do as they offer similar governmental subsidizes for renewable energy manufactures that use local manufactures in US.
