Drop your heretic thoughts on CRPGs and RPG systems here
TrashMan replied to IndiraLightfoot's topic in Computer and Console
Character is defined trough interactions and reactions. HOW you say something. WHEN you say it. To WHOM you say it. How you react to other people saying things. Those define a character. Dialogue is the bone on which to build. If your only interaction with others is trough a sword, you cannot define a character at all. Just stats don't cut it. No, that's the reality of the situation. Infinite content nor infinite will to generate it for you doesn't exist. Resources are always limited - regardless if it's money, time, or just the DM's good will to go along with your crap. -
Not a fan myself really. I think the game should try to guide/teach us away from pack-ratting and looting everything in sight. It makes little sense from a realistic standpoint - and from realistic character behavior - to go collect every broken down sword and everything that isn't nailed down (with NPCs naturally NOT reacting to you robbing them of everything). Going back and forth to collect trash to sell for 1 copper SHOULDN'T be fun. Some players insist on doing the most boring and mundane and pointless and un-logical stuff and then complain that it's tedious and that the developers should "fix" that and make their "playstyle" ... "viable". I see this backwards. There is nothing to fix except the players head.

Well, if its' a 40K RPG, then you can't really play as a Space Marine. Too OP. You'd probably play as an inquisitor (or his agent), traveling from planet to planet, unraveling mysteries. Seeing an actual Space Marine should be rare and a moment of utter awe.

Fantasy calendars? Who cares. You can always assume the calendar is "translated" to something you can easily understand, just as language is. After all, it's a fantasy setting. Why are they speaking english? For "realism" sake, they should create a complete language (several of them)) and everyone should speak in it. That way if you want to talk to NPC you'll have to first learn it yourself. There is smart realism to strive for, and then there is retarded realism. A smart person knows the difference and seeks for realism in places where it matter and doesn't hinder the player (too much). -

1) What? Dialogue is not an element of a CRPG? Is your character mute or something? 2) Limitations. You can't have true freedom in a CRPG. Heck, you can't even have it in a PnP one, since most DM's can't or won't generate endless content as you constantly avoid their plot hooks.. -
Re-taking of territory is a military plan. Evicting Serbs was not part of it. To take territory the army has to advance. If you think it is, prove it. Find some document, a signed order, a video - anything. Every single piece of "evidence" was already submitted to the courts. And we know the conclusion already. BS again. The one who instigated the conflict was Milosević and the leadership of Serbia. No one in Yugoslavia was happy with it other then Serbia, and it wanted to make damn sure no one left. And the voting was legal. The SFRJ was a Federation - meaning Croats had the right to leave it if they so wanted. A right Serbia was desperately trying to deny them, by spreading propaganda and lies, arming nationalists and pouring oil into the fire. And I see you still refuse to answer - tell me how did the JNA protect "it's people" in Vukovar? How did it protect them in Dubrovnik? I repeat: The same BS justification Putin is using (I have to protect the Russians in Ukraine form evil, natzi nationalist) is what Milosević and Serbia tried to use back then.

- check the news and the wiki. That is the official number. - Not proof of ethnic cleansing. Exodus =/= ethnic cleansing. Unless you have actual proof of the CA actively forcing people out of their homes using force or executing them, on a large scale and in organized and planned fashion? This is the same BS justification Puting is using. "I'm only protecting my people/interestest". Some context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_War_of_Independence Immediately after the Slovenian parliamentary election, 1990 and the Croatian parliamentary election, 1990 in April and May 1990, the JNA announced that the Josip Broz Tito-era doctrine of "general people's defense", in which each republic maintained a Territorial defense force (Croatian: Teritorijalna obrana) (TO), would henceforth be replaced by a centrally directed system of defense. The republics would lose their role in defense matters and their TOs would be disarmed and subordinated to JNA headquarters in Belgrade, but the new Slovenian government acted quickly to retain control over the TO.[70]On May 14, 1990, the weapons of the TO of Croatia, in regions with Croatian majorities, were taken away by the Army,[71] preventing the possibility of Croatia having its own weapons like it was done in Slovenia.[72] .[73]Borisav Jović, Serbia's representative on the Federal Presidency and a close ally of Slobodan Milošević, claimed that this action came at the behest of Serbia.[74] On 22 December 1990, the Parliament of Croatia ratified the new constitution[84] which was read as taking away some of the rights that Serbs had been granted by the previous Socialist constitution, and fueled extremism among the Serbs of Croatia.[85] However, the constitution did define Croatia as "the national state of the Croatian nation and a state of members of other nations and minorities who are its citizens: Serbs ... who are guaranteed equality with citizens of Croatian nationality ..."[76] Even though the two people combined comprised 38.8% of the population of Yugoslavia, 70% of all JNA officers and non-commissioned officers were either Serbs or Montenegrins.[99] In 1991, the JNA was instructed by Slobodan Milošević and Borisav Jović, through the federal defense secretary Kadijević, to "completely eliminate Croats and Slovenes from the army."[100] Among other incidents, local Serbs from the southern hinterlands of Croatia, mostly around the city of Knin, blocked roads to tourist destinations in Dalmatia. This incident is known as the "Log revolution".[78][79] Years later, during Martić's trial, Babić would claim that he was tricked by Martić into agreeing to the Log Revolution, and that it and the entire war in Croatia was Martić's responsibility, and had been orchestrated by Belgrade.[80] The statement was corroborated by Martić in an interview published in 1991.[81] Babić confirmed that by July 1991 Milošević had taken over control of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA).[82] The Croatian government responded to the blockade of roads by sending special police teams in helicopters to the scene, but they were intercepted by SFR Yugoslav Air Force fighter jets and forced to turn back to Zagreb. The Serbs felled pine trees or used bulldozers to block roads to seal off towns like Knin and Benkovac near the Adriatic coast. On 18 August 1990, the Serbian newspaper Večernje novosti said that almost "two million Serbs were ready to go to Croatia to fight".[78] Throughout this period, the federal army, the JNA, and the local Territorial Defense Forces continued to be led by Federal authorities controlled by Milošević. Helsinki Watch reported that Serb Krajina authorities executed Serbs who were willing to reach an accommodation with Croat officials.[24] ************ Croatia declared independence and dissolved its association with Yugoslavia on 25 June 1991 In July, in an attempt to salvage what remained of Yugoslavia, the JNA forces were involved in operations against predominantly Croat areas. In July the Serb-led Territorial Defence Forces started their advance on Dalmatian coastal areas in Operation Coast-91.[127] By early August, large areas of Banovina were overrun by Serb forces.[128] One month after Croatia declared its independence, the Yugoslav army and other Serb forces held something less than one-third of the Croatian territory,[128] mostly in areas with a predominantly ethnic Serb population.[131][132] The JNA military strategy partly consisted of extensive shelling, at times irrespective of the presence of civilians.[133] As the war progressed, the cities of Dubrovnik, Gospić, Šibenik, Zadar, Karlovac, Sisak, Slavonski Brod, Osijek, Vinkovci, and Vukovar all came under attack by Yugoslav forces.[134][135][136][137] The United Nations (UN) imposed a weapons embargo; this did not affect JNA-backed Serb forces significantly, as they had the JNA arsenal at their disposal, but it caused serious trouble for the newly formed Croatian army. The Croatian government started smuggling weapons over its borders.[138][139] In September, Serbian troops completely surrounded the city of Vukovar. Croatian troops, including the 204th Vukovar Brigade, entrenched themselves within the city and held their ground against elite armored and mechanized brigades of the JNA, as well as Serb paramilitary units.[147][148] Vukovar was almost completely devastated; 15,000 houses were destroyed.[149] Some ethnic Croatian civilians had taken shelter inside the city. Other members of the civilian population fled the area en masse. Death toll estimates for Vukovar as a result of the siege range from 1,798 to 5,000.[95] A further 22,000 were exiled from Vukovar immediately after the town was captured.[149][150] On 5 October, President Tuđman made a speech in which he called upon the whole population to mobilize and defend against "Greater Serbian imperialism" pursued by the Serb-led JNA, Serbian paramilitary formations, and rebel Serb forces.[104] On October 7 the Yugoslav air force attacked the main government building in Zagreb, an incident referred to as the bombing of Banski dvori.[153][154] The Vukovar massacre took place in November;[163][164] the survivors were transported to prison camps such as Ovčara and Velepromet, with the majority ending up in Sremska Mitrovica prison camp.[165] The sustained siege of Vukovar attracted heavy international media attention. Many international journalists were in or near Vukovar, as was UN peace mediator Cyrus Vance, who had been Secretary of State to former US President Carter.[166] Also in eastern Slavonia, the Lovas massacre occurred in October[94][167] and the Erdut massacre in November 1991, before and after the fall of Vukovar.[168] At the same time, the Škabrnja massacre occurred in the northern Dalmatian hinterland; it was largely overshadowed by the events at Vukovar.[169] On 14 November, the Navy blockade of Dalmatian ports was challenged by civilian ships. The confrontation culminated in the Battle of the Dalmatian channels, when Croatian coastal and island based artillery damaged, sank, or captured a number of Yugoslav navy vessels, including Mukos PČ 176, later rechristened PB 62 Šolta.[170] After the battle, the Yugoslav naval operations were effectively limited to the southern Adriatic.[171] The Siege of Dubrovnik (Croatian: Opsada Dubrovnika, Serbian: Blokada Dubrovnika) was a military engagement fought between the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) and Croatian forces defending the city of Dubrovnik and its surroundings during the Croatian War of Independence. The JNA started its advance on 1 October 1991 and by late October had captured virtually all of the territory between the Pelješac and Prevlaka peninsulas on the coast of the Adriatic Sea—except for Dubrovnik itself. The JNA attacks and bombardment of Dubrovnik, including the Old Town—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—culminated on 6 December 1991. The bombardment provoked a strong international condemnation of the JNA and became a public relations disaster for Serbia and Montenegro, contributing to their diplomatic and economic isolation and the international recognition of the independence of Croatia. In May 1992, the JNA pulled back from Dubrovnik to Bosnia and Herzegovina, less than 1 kilometre (0.62 miles) from the coast in some places, and east of the city to hand over its equipment to the newly formed Army of the Republika Srpska (VRS). During this time, the Croatian Army (HV) attacked from the west and pushed back the JNA/VRS from the areas west of Dubrovnik, both in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and by the end of May linked up with the HV unit defending the city. Fighting between the HV and the Yugoslav troops east of Dubrovnik gradually died down. Combat near Dubrovnik was followed by the withdrawal of JNA from Konavle, between 30 September and 20 October 1992. ********** So yeah.. the glorious Serbian army was doing a great job of protecting it's people by shelling the living s**** out of cities

- Most of it. And the part that actually knows and does it's research. - In Croatia during the war? Yes. In RSK? no. I was in Dalmatia at that time. - 4000? I said a bit over 2000 and Ia didn't lie. If you think so, prove it. and you still haven't provided even a single piece of evidence of Serbia convicting anyone. - every proof I provided you answered? No, you didn't. Not even close.Nor have you provided any proof of ethnic cleansing. ****** And it's even sadder (and funnier), that in your defense/denial of JNA troops in Croatia, you mention that it's OK as long as Croatia didn't declare independance. Like that changes anything. Because troops shooting people and bombing towns is OK, as long as that is part of an oppressive federation? It's bloody OK to murder Croatian citizens to "protect" Sebian citizens because it was SFRJ? You talk a lot about what was going on in Croatia for someone who was never there during a war, and was subjected to propaganda and media filtering. As I said, I was here. You can talk to me untill the end of days that there was no JNA in Croatia because Serbian news said that, or because uncle Radoje or whomever told you that. But I know very well what (and whom) I've seen. So I repeat: "In 1990, an armed insurrection was started by Croatian Serb militias, supported by the Serbian government and paramilitary groups, who seized control of Serb-populated areas of Croatia. The JNA began to intervene in favour of the rebellion, and conflict broke out in the eastern Croatian region of Slavonia in May 1991. In August, the JNA launched a full-scale attack against Croatian-held territory in eastern Slavonia, including Vukovar."

I'm not saying every granny was armed with a gun. But the people in RSK were - in general - armed to the teeth and very nationalistic and feverious. You weren't there so you wouldn't know, now would you? The exodus of the Serbs is no Ethnic cleansing. It does not fit the definition. there was no force employed from the CA, there was no grand plan. Rage as much as you want, but the world agrees with me. During this whole debate I provided 10 times more links than you. And the wiki link was a few pages back. I say again - the wiki and the world view agree with me. Indeed. That's because you haven't. I addressed Milosevics statement. You showed no video evidence. I didn't deny Vukovar. YNA was not in Croatia after it declare independence, you showed no proof to indicate otherwise. You didn't address anything, and least of all his statement. Everyone except from you and your media pretty much agrees the JNA was in Croatia (including your president). And I sure as hell won't bother to prove known and factual stuff that you can easily look into yourself.
