Meanwhile Bulgaria sends 1000 soldiers on its border with Turkey to increase border security

It technically could, but then you can just carpet bomb the whole region and re-colonize it.... (I mean, the only worse scenarios than what we have right now, would be that Radical Islamic groups would form a form of new eastern empire covering the ME region from Iran to Syria, to Egypt's border and covering the whole Arabic peninsula and excluding the current Israel, plus there would be another one covering the whole Northern African coast except Egypt and reaching down to Niger and Sudan's southern borders... and this could cripple heavily the worlds economy, but to be honest I think that new dictators would like the money offered by oil and gas companies from China, Russia and all around the world, but they need to build the new state on some idea) Lets be honest, they need to go through something similar in scope of World War 2 in their region to get to the mass populace that constant warring is not really a good idea, especially on the basis of religion and ideology.

Have fun with accepting everyone without control.

@Bruce, You forget that each reaction from the Western countries is a response to deteriorating conditions caused by previous interventions.... If you would still have Saddam, Gaddafi, etc in rule, there would be no ISIS problem, the oil would still be flowing as those people, while dictators, were not stupid... I mean, there are double standards it seems... we opened economy and started to trade with Commie China, Theocratic and intolerant Sauds, etc. and those we simply condemn in words if at all. There was nothing wrong with those dictatorships, and our meddling in ME just made things worse and indirectly led to this crisis. (and it all started with creation of Israel on the map, and later meddling in affairs in Iran and Afghanistan during the Cold War era) If there is one thing that we should learn from the past, then that is, stop meddling in ME internal affairs... Now we reached situation where Russians are going for a "check" and deploying their forces in Syria. Will the Western airforce strike at Russians? Do you want more than a proxy war? Or maybe as some US officials rumor, they will actually start co-operating with Russians and Assad to fight ISIS, even though Moscow led alliance of Russian, Iran, Syria so far is a difficult for US to swallow and partner with... What will happen with Kurds, if ISIS will be removed? Will they start using the weapon and new land gains in Iraq to fight with Turks for a part of Turkish land inhabited by Kurds? What will happen then? After all Turkey is in NATO... We are constantly battling problems which we created there in the first place... Sometimes the best course of action is the one to stand on the side and wait for development...

Again, leave them to themselves... their societies need to evolve on their own and they first need to have majority of population backing the same idea. As it is, there are too many diversified groups that have different agendas, even opposing each other. There is no Arab spring... that's a term created by the wishful media in our countries, who wanted to label the events over there to the EU spring of nations from 18-19th century that moved many nations into the republican type of government, with elections etc. In none of the middle-east countries you have governments that follow that suit... Egypt - military heads having the actual power, Turkey, also military guys making sure that the governments remain secular, etc. None of the societies there actually desires such a form of a government in terms of majority of people... You have some groups that want that, but they are not majorities. The culture there still cultivates strong leaders and religion, with shariah being the fundament of law. Igniting the region by arming it, and creating more militarized societies is exactly the opposite of what could lead to the changes in favor of more democratic societies with more emphasis on human rights and equality of genders. Let them fail a few times on their own, and let them evolve on their own... Europe done that on its own, so they can do it to, they might need more time as the idea of democracy is completely alien to them (they are not a greek-roman region of culture) and they were fighting it for the last 3000 years, starting with Greek-Persian wars. I have no idea, why people think that such a change can be done within few years, let alone even 1 generation. This change needs to be procedural evolution, and needs to span through probably 3-4 generations, but our current "leaders" do not want such slow processes, as they want control over natural resources of that region "NOW". Our societies are also to consumer heavy and with too much mentality of "I want it now" to understand the cultural need in that region. Again, the "Arab spring" had nothing similar (aside of revolt) to the "spring of nations" that shaped most if not all Western societies. In majority, the people behind the uprising forces were various islamic movements (some of them very radical)... even the Egypt "voted" for islamic party initially, and eventually it forced Egyptian military to step in and remove the "elected" authorities from power. To sum up... to not meddle in the internal affairs of ME countries, and surely not via making more and more civilian populace more militarized to fight your proxy wars for control over resources.

The Kurds are NOT a success story... just wait till this conflict is over and it will bite US in the ass when their NATO ally, Turkey, will have big problems with trained and armed Kurds... Apparently South African colonists are as ignorant to the history of the region as the US ones.

Sorry to destroy your world view, but not everyone can date and have sex with that super hot latina/blond/asian/slavic w/e girl, even when they have money, hence the demand for such "toys"

Meanwhile, Coratia closed 7 out of 8 border passes between them and Serbia to limit the influx of refugees.

Well, as long as it's not a problem for the US it's cool, the thinking is going I assume, heh. Guys come on, you can't possibly blame the USA for training people who later become there enemies. As far as Islamic extremism is concerned it is this fractured and nebulous movement that often fights within itself. Its not like Islamic extremism is this monolithic group of people who all have the same motives So in other words you cannot predict if some people who are trained by the USA later turn against them, thats just a reality of this type of conflict Look at the training of the Mujaheddin by the CIA in Afghanistan ....look how that turned out Its got nothing to do with ignorance It actually has a lot to do with ignorance.... Ignorance to the cultural development in that region in the last 4 thousands of years. If they would know and understand that, they would never used non-ruling parties as tools in their proxy wars... even when using the ruling parties, they should first know what is holding them at their power... because as we see Sauds officially being friends to US while at the same time there are a lot of people in that family supporting islamic extremists... And looking that Sauds are basically a modern theocracy, it is not a surprise to anyone who has a basic grasp at the reality there. Again, meddling in none of your affairs just makes things worse... and why? to secure natural resources and poke at Russia/Soviet Union.

Meanwhile another proof that US ignorance is one of the factors that created these problems: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/one-isis-top-commanders-star-165700972.html

I love'em these unique spells... if only dragons would give some just as unique hoards...

More dwarfen goodness

They'll be free from misogyny and the patriarchy. Isn't that all that they wanted? Apparently not. Otherwise this would be celebrated, i wonder why.... Let's be honest. A lot of women still use the "sex card" as their Ace in any relationship, be that actual sex or simply sex appeal and good looks.

Can't find the exact source now, but it seems that Lebanon, which was housing near 1,5 Syrian refugees, stopped their support for refugees, and is slowly forcing them out of the country through economical means. Tent camps are illegal now, which forces the refugees to find housing. The housing in questions is often no more than 20 square meters of barely used solid constructions like a garage or some similar, for outrageous prices of 500-700 USD per month... This in turn makes more people to look towards EU as their final destination. Nothing new from Turkey and how refugees are treated there, so can't say about their possible future, but I would not be surprised if those people would get the same treatment as the ones in Lebanon. At the same time the Arabic peninsula states do not even want to hear about refugees coming to their countries. It also seems that whatever the drama at the borders of EU is, the vast majority of refugees wants to reach Germany as their final destination. There have been reports in countries like Poland, that even the families that were given housing etc, decided to just "vanish" and move to Germany. Germany in response tries to forcefully apply relocation of those refugees to the countries where they initially registered as war refugees, hence transit countries like Hungary, decided to simply close borders and not accept refugees from outside EU and are very skeptical to the mandatory quotas. Eventually this will become more of a problem for Germany, Sweden, France, UK, as those are the "rich" EU countries with high social welfare, and those are the final destination countries for the "refugees" (we have no idea how many are actually refugees and how many are actually from Syria)

In my game this spot bugged out. Can't even uncover the hidden spot and the "note" vanished from my inventory...

They are ok. On higher difficulties higher level enemies require you to use quite a few spells. Removing those low level ones fro per encounter to per rest would just encourage rest spamming and backtracking to inns/stronghold.

Still better than prostitution and cheaper than kidless marriage... If someone fancy such things, let them have it. However there might be a point in future where AI will be so sophisticated when we will have to draw a line. Is it still just a toy or is it a concious slave?

The key sentence being: "The minister conceded that he had no firm information on terrorist infiltration of refugees, but said his "gut feeling" told him it was happening." Colour me unimpressed. If ISIS terrorists wanted to get into Europe, they'd simply come by plane, and not in a 9/11 way. There's a enough of them with valid European passports. there is a difference between few hundreds across all EU, and possibly 2-5k grouped in a couple of countries like, Germany, UK, Sweden, France.

Germany did not close border, but reintroduced border control, with the main focus on their border with Austria (other borders get controls too, like the one with Poland and Czech). TBH it was obvious that sooner or later it will happen, it is just too funny that it was less than a week after the declaration that Germany can take any amount of war refugees...

Is this the game everyone was so hot about? :D this IMO is the biggest disappointment of 2015... I will surely not buy it.... and I loved previous one.

yeah, i thought at first that there is some new type of ogre, but it was already in, the ogre chanter stuff, just forgot its model with bearskin :D

are they? DAMN i need to get into the game again then

Hey, Does anyone know if there is a site, where there would be digital novels from Forgotten Realms? I'd like to build a digital collection of such books if such exist...

It's not her body, her soul was forcefully transferred into it. technically it is HER body.... she is not wearing the armor. it is her new physical existence... she cannot just get it off, and put it on shelves, can she?

the only thing she is missing is her body to be with armor that has 0% recovery penalty... it is HER BODY after all...
