There was a guy once at WonderCon who tried to argue with my friends wife that the only reason she read comic books was to feel like she was strong. That conversation went well. Cornishr, I have absolutely, 100% no idea what you mean by "whatever the California media like to say about it". Absolutely none. Unless you're just using big fancy words to just say "I don't like women as being shown as equal to men in real life or my fictional TV shows". Women play video games. To say that anyone - let alone a female - should not be able to play as a traditionally male role in fiction is... that's beyond amusing. If you are so prejudice that you cannot bear to see females doin' stuff in a fictional world.... I also find it mindboggling that you constantly imply that Obsidian is somehow a part of the Great Female Conspiracy by not showing a male warrior. But wait, they have. Oh no, wait, that's not the specific fictional race that you wanted. Honestly, man, what kind of role model do you think you are being to your daughter, if you discourage her from doing certain things (especially in a game) if they are "too manly"? I feel sad for you if you feel so threatened that women play video games.

As said before, pretty sure you can make one in the Adventurer's Hall. Oh, and nice restraint not calling everyone on the forums stupider than dirt this time. I'll make one if i must, just hoping they do one for us. Having never existed until this game, i can't believe there won't be an Aumaua available, that'd be just weird. If she's a chick (or female/whatever term i'm supposed to be using nowadays), i'll take her anyway, but i still feel we are missing a seriously badass fighter. You know secretly you want one too ). I'm just hoping they don't throw a curve ball and have an Aumaua Chanter or something. You surely must have at least one big bar steward in a party, it's a prerequisite in my eyes. And i was absolutely furious at that time after finding out we've lost out on more wilderness because some people on here don't want more levels. I still can't get my head around that and i never will. Vote for a bigger game or smaller game, and some people voted for a smaller! I wasn't myself that morning and i was throwing a tantrum. I'm not proud of it but i'm claiming severe provocation. Anyway, i still don't think there is anything wrong with a male preferring to use predominantly male characters just like i wouldn't be offended by a girl wanting to play with mostly female characters. I think that is perfectly normal human behaviour, whatever the Californian media like to say about it. It doesn't mean i hate women because i want a big tough male fighter to lead my line. I have a beautiful daughter; i'd be happy for her to be in my party as a druid or a mage, but i'm sorry, i just don't see her as a barbarian with a two handed axe. Mind you, my friend's wife could do a convincing job with a battleaxe... 1) "If she's a chick or female or whatever...." < dude. You seriously need to think about how you write things. 2) And you're saying that deep down I care if a gender stereotype is upheld? No. No, I don't. 3) Some people voted to keep the game small because of feature creep that could occur. 4) You were provoked by... what? That you didn't get your way? 5) Nobody is saying there is anything wrong with that. 6) You don't have any problem with women, except you constantly refer to "the media" and "whatever we call them now" and you say you don't see your daughter playing a traditionally male role... in a video game. And then you follow up by calling your friend's wife a slur.

You blame Steam for the lack of physical items in an increasingly digital world?

Respectable, modest names.

Backer, SHOW THYSELF.

Badler is a man's man, a man about town.

7 days!

Nice!

I... I don't think you are able to really make that call....

Peabody & Sherman was horrible. It was like a throwback to old 1993 animated films when they didn't know how to make these movies yet. It was a set piece film, but it was animated so who cares?

Steam and GoG are platforms. That's like saying Nintendo is publishing Arkham City because it is on the Wii U. The PC is the platform, Steam and GoG are definitely distributors though probably seldom complete publishers. But since gog patches the old games to let them run on newer operating systems I would say it definitely does more than distribution. "publisher" is a really strechable concept, you'll have a hard time showing that steam and gog don't publish games. Valve and CDProjekt publish games. Steam and GoG are software created by those two companies.

I probably don't open my signed collector's edition box, as I also get four digital copies of the game. I'm assuming most collectors did this.

You mean documentaries that were so expensive that they didn't have left enough money to do the actually game in one set? ;-) Well: 1) They set aside half the budget for the documentary. That money had no relation to them running out of money. Mismanagement of those remaining funds was the issue there. 2) What I mean is that DFA has quite literally shown us every step. 3) Transparency has nothing to do with budget.

Just beat The Banner Saga.

I think making a thread speculating on if/when a company will go under or "sell out" is in bad form.

Any experience is experience.

Sharp, you know Obsidian plans to sell this game. We even had a huge argument about it in another thread. That's why I'm having such a hard time believing that you are actually this naive. You just want to start a fight.

In all honesty, I hate nostalgia rewards. There is 100% no reason for it. It's such a waste of the environment.

I don't think so, as that was one of the higher level reward tiers.

That's going to be an interesting Litmust test. One I want to see and be involved in. The challenge excites me.

To be perfectly fair, Obsidian makes games. Period.

I don't think anyone expected this, expectations or no.
