The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
I just sentenced a town to be burned to the ground, people and all. I can be merciful, when I feel it it can benefit me down the road, but these people surrendered 2 years prior and pledged an oath of loyalty to Kyros, and now they turn around and aid the oathbreakers? An example had to be made. They all had to die. Let the smoldering pile of rubble and corpses be a reminder to everyone within the valley as to what happens when you cross me Kyros.

NFL 2016 Season
The Boys win a thriller in Pittsburgh to grab their 8th straight win. Dak and Dez were great; Zeke was spectacular, racking up 209 total yards and 3 TDs. It's pretty hard to argue against Dallas being the best team in the NFC right now. At 8-1 we sit atop the NFC and only Seattle seems to be poised to challenge us for the #1 seed. A first round bye looks fairly probable, granted there are a lot of games left to be played. Here's your weekly helping of Jerry: HOW 'BOUT DEM COWBOYS?

Yes, there are things to do in the environment that use your non-combat skills (athletics, lore, etc.) Doesn't look like there are schedules I've not noticed a proper night/day cycle No alternate methods of transportation I've seen. You're hoofing it. Yes, you can really be evil. Plenty of ruthless and selfish options and some psychopathic stuff in there too. You can absolutely be loyal to Kyros and carry out his will to the letter of his law. The rest of the questions I'm not far enough along to answer.

I went ahead and dropped difficulty down to Story Mode, which made combat significantly less tiresome and has improved my enjoyment of the game. I should have done that from the beginning. By now I should know to lower Obsidian games' difficulty down to the lowest so that I can enjoy them for their quality writing and characters with less bother from generally pretty meh combat. As I've gotten older my appreciation for combat in RPGs has significantly fallen off, unless the combat is implemented really really well.

Depends on what you're looking for. So far I've found the combat to be kinda meh (luckily there hasn't been an exceedingly large amount of it). Keep in mind that I'm not that far in and it might get better once I get higher level and have more abilities to play with. So far I've found the dialogue and choices (there have been a lot of both) interesting and engaging. The writing is solid and I'm invested in some of the characters, particularly Voices of Nerat, who's freakin' awesome. Also, you get the power fantasy of holding people's lives in the palm of your hand, able to serve them salvation or death at your whim.

Small sample size, since I'm still pretty early in the game, but I very much appreciate the lesser focus on combat so far, compared to Pillars. Edit: Good to know, though I am still going to try to minimize wasted time and play it like the clock is against me and I have to hurry for the, you know, immershun factor.

Voices
I'm pro voice acting but only if the voice acting is really good. If the voice acting is bad, or even okay, I'd rather just read text and let my mind do the voice acting.

The US Election, Part XI
I have to say I'm getting much joy out of watching protesters making petitions to the electoral college to elect Hillary. If the left wingers put this much effort into actually voting they wouldn't have this problem. But hey, keep deflecting the blame, dems who didn't vote, surely it wasn't YOUR fault, right?

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
Just started up a game and spent 35 minutes making my character, Muriel the Unyielding. I made her an archer/vigor magic user with high subterfuge skill (for manipulating people). Too bad the awesome outfit hides my hair, but I went with the dark skin/silver hair combo, which I always think looks super badass. I am going to try to play my character as a ruthless manipulator. Not a psychopath, she takes no pleasure in killing people or making them suffer, but she has no qualms whatsoever in making people suffer if it has a purpose and helps her reach her goals (the quest for absolute power!). She speaks softly when it benefits her, but will not hesitate to bully people or stab them in the back if she stands to profit from it. Now, let's get this party started! /rubs hands together

The US Election, Part X
I'm going to make a guess here and say that there are a good number of people that made a lot of noise on Twitter and Facebook and Tumbler and Snapchat and whatever social platforms they keep coming out with, but when it came time to physically do something, like, you know, vote, they couldn't be bothered. And that's how you wind up with President Trump.

Time to finish up Mad Max so that nothing stands between me and Tyranny tomorrow (except work). Too bad I don't get Veteran's Day off. I guess my company hates the brave men and women that risked and gave their lives for our country.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Looks like we're getting a new Metro game next year. http://nichegamer.com/2016/11/08/the-latest-metro-game-will-launch-in-2017/- The US Election, Part X
Well, let's all look on the bright side here. We're going to get a lot of Ivanka camera time over the next 4 years.- The US Election, Part X
So it looks like the Republicans won both the House and the Senate too. Wow, what a resounding defeat for the Democrats on all fronts.- The US Election, Part X
Turns out those ads with J-Lo urging the Latinos to vote and Barack Obama subtly urging the people to vote Democrat and Michele Obama not so subtly telling people to vote straight down the Democratic party line didn't work. Who knew? My favorite part of the Barack Obama ad: "While my name isn't on the ticket this year, the progress we've made together is..." Wait, what progress? Edit: In some really sad news, Gary Johnson didn't manage to get the 5% necessary to secure funding for the Libertarian Party. I guess we gottas try again in 4 years. This needs to happen sooner or later. Sooner, preferably.- The US Election, Part X
And I wake up to... President Trump. He took almost the entirety of the heartland (including virtually all the swing states) and in the end the west coast and the northeast weren't nearly enough for Hillary.- The US Election, Part X
