Wathef Uck, mysterious barbarian sidekick from the southern jungles. He's into some crazy stuff, man.

Trump to meet with game industry Thursday over gun violence This is what I like to term a "Circus Level Event", or CLE (pronounced "silly").

I love the shadows in that footage. It adds a lot more depth to the scene.

I'm old. I enjoy the deep heat neck & shoulder therapy in the showers... Well at least on the weekends.

I didn't think females existed in Dwarf species, I thought males mated with other males to carry on kin and such has been the message of the dwarves. I must say, this is a historically inaccurate rumor undoubtedly originating with the elves. The fact is Dwarves are hermaphrodites that lay jewel-shaped golden eggs and protect them by surrounding the nest with gold coins as a distraction.

Yes, this was also true of Hiravias. By the time he became available my party was more or less set, so I didn't include him until a later replay. When I did so, he immediately became one of my favorites.

Any such changes will likely come with future expansions, possibly following feedback from the audience. If it adds to the role-playing elements then great. Otherwise... meh.

One of these days we'll see a sequel where the baby you create will grow up to become the protagonist. Or perhaps the grandparent of the protagomist. I.e. a dynasty tale.

A positive I see from this approach is that we won't have to spend half the game waiting for two ships to close the distance. Just get it over with and move to the good stuff; boarding actions or sailing onward. The developers have kept it simple enough to speed up the game, but detailed enough to provide some tactical decision making and make social interactions (crew recruitment, &c.) more worthwhile. It seems fine to me, but I'll have to wait to play it before knowing for certain.

This is Ydwin. She's into long walks in the park, poisoning the pigeons therein, and dissecting worm-riddled corpses over a fine Chianti.

But are there two-headed dwarves? "Let's have an argument!" "Not today, left."

I'm sure somebody will mod it. No matter.

It's a business decision on their part, and they may have good reasons for not going the crowdfunding path.
