- White march = dungeon crawl?
Since presumably it's an optional side quest to the main campaign, they can probably get away with it being fairly linear.- Charleston church massacre
I don't know for certain, but I'd like to think so. Statistically it varies quite a bit based on where you live. This study was pretty interesting, for example.- Charleston church massacre
Just about every week I hear another news story about bigotry and think, "it must be in the south". I find I'm rarely incorrect. Cultural inertia, I suppose.- The Funny Things thread

Neil Gaimon's American Gods gets full series order on Starz. So... hurray! Finally. I'm curious to see who they cast as Shadow.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Romance with andromedan tentacled hermephrodite not yet confirmed....- What are pets for?
Pets are there so that the designers can say that pets were included. That's about it.- Western spies forced to pullout : Snowden to blame
That's like shooting yourself in the foot and so discovering that your gun still doesn't have enough hitting power because your foot didn't come off. The primary benefit of Snowden's activities went directly to states with low standards for personal liberty. He's an intelligent fool.- What's on the idiot box Part 4 (or something)
Did anybody catch the premiere of Whispers? It's a sci-fi series on ABC about children being contacted by a mysterious invisible entity; possibly an alien. I wasn't sure about it at first, but I think it has some potential.- WOT post count towards "Regular" post count?
I think we should have a separate WTF count to cover WOT posts...- Chris Avallone left Obsidian
Well a change can be good for the creative juices, and this will leave a slot open for new blood in Obsidian. Hopefully it'll work out well for everybody concerned.- The Funny Things thread
Is it snipe hunting season already?- Hero-U Kickstarter
If they follow the usual trend of getting a funding bump at the end, they'll probably make it.- The Kickstarter Thread

Not sure. I don't know that specific issue. Was it happening in 1.05? If so, it may still be in there. Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, on my play through I was well past that point when 1.05 was released, so I don't know. But I haven't seen it listed in the fixes. It was mentioned here and here, among others.- 23 replies

Great. I'll just ask this again, since I never got an answer the previous times: is the bug with the Ondra's Gift lighthouse door fixed? The one where it blocks your progress to the second floor? Thank you.- 23 replies

- Obsidian should make a Sci-Fi RPG
Gary Gygax described role-playing as a group, cooperative experience. Single player CRPGs are at best a sub par, perhaps even mediocre simulation of that interaction. Most of what has been debated is the relative effectiveness of that simulation. "When AI approximates Machine Intelligence, then many online and computer-run RPGs will move toward actual RPG activity. Nonetheless, that will not replace the experience of 'being there,' any more than seeing a theatrical motion picture can replace the stage play." -- Gygax.- Fallout 4 is coming!

- Obsidian should make a Sci-Fi RPG
The modern education system creates a type of class-based approach just from the fact that it takes 4-7 years to get really good at a subject. That type of dependency should be enough to differentiate sci-fi characters, while still allowing some crossover skills that don't require lengthy training to reach a suitable level of proficiency. After that it's mostly a matter of getting rid of the word 'class', and replacing it with, say, 'career'.- Obsidian should make a Sci-Fi RPG
It might be interesting to use an Avatar-like approach; start with a diverse team of body pilots with various sci-fi like skills, then stealthily interact with the universe through remotely-controlled bodies. This would allow you to operate in a diverse range of locales as well as allowing you to pass yourself off a natives. As the game goes along, you can acquire new technology that allows you to build and equip better avatars. The goal becomes not to avoid getting killed, but to succeed in your missions even in the face of avatar losses. As long as just one avatar survives to achieve the mission purpose, then you succeed. - White march = dungeon crawl?
