Neeshka was meant to be a romance, but when ye olde publisher time cut came it went on the chopping block along with a bunch of other things.

So no Gorean sexual mores or half-human/half-ungulate retarded prostitutes. Good to know. Please, feel free to explain how misogynistic writing is appealing to people who are not misogynists. Go on. I'm waiting. I point you to the below link NOTE: anyone with triggers regarding rape et. al. should probably not go to the below link, let alone read the books described therein. You have been warned. http://hradzka.livejournal.com/194753.html Also, would you consider LKH's writings mysogynistic?

Ahhh, good ol' evo psych. The above is a concrete example of why evo psych needs to be taken out back and shot. The reality of the matter is that gender unequal mores are probably a combination of the strength differential, the energy invested in child birth, and the average temperament differential between males and females caused by brain stucture differences and testosterone/estrogen differences(anyone who says there isn't one is either willfully blind, lying, or really, really ignorant).

I know who he was talking about. My replay was exactly mean to indicate that i'ts really not creepy. And callign her crazy stalker bitch? A bit overly emotional, no? Really.. some people seem to live just so they can hate. To them there is no shades of grey, no different interpretations, no patience...I guess if a mother watches her child sleep it's CREEPY. If you lover watches you lovingly it's CREEPY. You should go look up the version of Twilight from Edward's point of view that Smeyers was going to write until the first chapters were leaked and everyone went WTFBBQ over it. Elanee had that level of obsessiveness. And I'm not saying that I hated the character, far from it. That they would put such a character in the game was actually pretty awesome. I merely recognize her for the crazy stalker elf bitch that she is.

TL2, BL2, Black Mesa, and Katawa Shoujo. Also FFIX on a PS1 emulator using the original discs I picked up for 2 bucks at the library book sale this year. Oh, and ME3. Which I'm royally pissed at because either the EC or Leviathan dlcs removed

Let's see, just reread the Monster Hunter International series, which starts off with this And am currently reading Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. A fan-fic arguably much better than the books. It is best described as sticking a 20 year old Richard Feynman in an 11 year old Harry Potter and watching the ensuing hilarity

Uh, NO. There were people watching the exits of the consulate before anybody else showed up and the first large group on scene was a bunch of guys with AKs and RPGs. The Libya "protests" were entirely manufactured by AQ and the local imams to provide cover for the attack. As for the Egypt protests, those had much, much more to do with the Blind Sheik than a bad arabic dub of a stupid trailer. Now, all the follow up protests were about the rumors of the trailer being spread by your local islamic fanatics, but not Libya and Egypt. Also, it's not comedy central who quashed the Mohammed episodes, but Viacom, their parent company.

I dunno, That's eerily similar to a bunch of relationships I've seen. Admittedly the fetching is generally not animal parts, but still. Wh? I don't remeeber any such character in WNW2... Um, if you go back and look at her actions and dialogue, it's pretty damn clear that Elanee is a crazy stalker elf bitch. Maybe not quite the level of that lady astronaut who drove cross-country in a diaper, but pretty damn close.

Looking at NWN2, had Neeshka's storyline not been cut they would have had a quite good romance triangle going between the male PC, Neeshka, and the crazy stalker elf bitch. So saying that Obsidian can't do decent romances is crap. For that matter, HotU's weren't bad either. So again, the idea that Obsidian is incapable of romances is unwarranted. That being said, they never branded that as a core competency As for romances in PE, I'd make it one of the last stretch goals. Not a primary consideration by any means, but quite nice just the same especially since IRL small groups of people who can be sexually attracted to one another that go through stressful events tend to form relationships between some members of the group.

One would assume that the cost for being good at stealth would be being less able at other non-combat abilities. Like basket weaving.(To Obsidian: I strongly suggest basket weaving as a skill. Just for ****s and giggles you should be able to create a giant basket-weaving trade empire) Somehow when they speak of stealth I don't think they're referring to hiding in combat for tactical advantage. I imagine such an ability, if it was present, would be a use of combat resources.
