That really depends on the backstory. Why was the stronghold abandoned? Is it believed to be haunted, with the spirits of the dead killing anyone who spends the night? Then villagers who live nearby may have just enough courage to go there at noon and steal bricks and stones to use for building that new barn, but not enough to actually repair the buildings and live there.

I miss those good old days. When EA allowed developers to make awesome things. And now I realise I miss Virgin Games as well...

Does any of these; Battlefield 2142, Dead Space, Dragon Age; Origins, Brütal Legend or Mass Effect qualify? For me Mass Effect does not. Brütal Legend was interesting, but severly lacking in gameplay. I don't have an opinion on the Battlefield series as a whole as it does not interest me; same goes for Dead Space. Dragon Age: Origins on the other hand, I completed four times. I believe it could have been better. Especially some of the writing that railroads characters too much, forcing responses onto them that can be completly out of character, just so that specific npcs can be forced to play the role the writers envision (Wise Wynne...). But that didn't stop me from finishing it with a human noble (twice), a city elf, a daelish elf, a mage...

Catherine's story can be annoying like that. You can't tell her off for her tone and still do the things she wants. Political decissions... are we talking about Oberon? Apparently once you get extremly cozy with one species, they will push their own agenda harder, and it becomes a choice of letting them have their way or restoring a bit of balance again (Prospera and her political ideas for example that are not shared by anybody else).

My brain just fell into place. Akalabeth. Right. I read Aarklash

Is it bad?

I couldn't care less about Bioware as a brand. But Alan works there and he is a nice chap. Would be a shame if he lost his job.

Finally got a perfect score on a game in Game Dev Tycoon: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/524961421214489211/A1B73A9E7E7CF124C4A0FD1AFE5D6211B083A357/ A Teddy Bear for Leibowitz - a post apocalyptic rpg, targeted at a mature audience, with Teddy Bears. Originally the title was going to be Bearout. Then I changed it to A Canticle for Bearowitz. Then A Canticle for Bear and eventually to the final title. Seems it was the right decission.

Silly question perhaps. But regarding the before/after pictures of the Stronghold. Why did you cut down the trees next to the amphitheatre? Would it not make more sense to clear the trees outside the walls? Those would have given cover to enemies the walls are protecting from. The ones near the amphitheatre did not obstruct view of the stage. Instead they gave residents of the stronghold some welcome shade while sitting and watching the show. Save the amphitheatre trees! *hands out flyers*

It's up for pre-purchase on Steam. But they too only have a Comming Soon.

It also lowers the danger of disappointment due to too high expectations

I wish I had done that. Out of a whim a couple of years ago I re-installed Bet On Soldier. It wasn't a very good game, but the fact that you would get cash pop-ups based on your kill shots, and the whole reality tv thing they had going, gave it a bit of a Running Man atmosphere. And while Arnold movies are terrible, some of the old ones had some charm. A windows 7 conflict with the old Securom killed my computer. Took me two days to get it working again. But now that some of those games are really old, it gets hard finding cracks for them. At least I found a Chaos League: Sudden Death crack.

The difficulty ramps up quite a bit. Just beat level 10 after quite a few tries. Felt good though. On to level 11. After that I'll be done with the Milk Mining operations at Creamy Cove and will proceed to the Mouldy Depths and then the Curdling Gulf. Game seems to have 25 levels plus a continuous mode (Infinite Espresso) which I haven't tried yet.

Yeah. Basically people keep confusing those who are looking to justify their piracy (and who'd most likely simply find a different excuse for their piracy) with the people who actually are against DRM, believing it does more harm than good. One of the Shadowrun moderators for example went as far as saying that it was a good thing Shadowrun Returns was a Steam exclusive, because if it was released on GOG, then it would be pirated. Because GOG=piracy if you didn't know... I must confess it was the one situation where I was tempted to download and seed a pirated version of the game simply because of such... ach must not get upset

The usual Steam fanboi rethoric that has managed to grab hold of even otherwise normal people (like Hurly) : you believe that when you pay a game you should be able to just enjoy it without hoops to jump through and the danger of it not running once your operating system gets "upgraded" ? You must be a criminal. My personal opinion is that most forms of DRM = bad (I have a soft spot for the old Lucas Arts adventure games). I also believe that if something is worth spending time on (and worth stealing), then it is worth paying money for. edit: also: Hurlshot if you ever feel up to a game of Blood Bowl...

At least you are ahead when it comes to time zones
