@BruceVC we are waiting for screenshot proof that you have suffered through Crian Soft gameplay for your beliefs

There is a random event in one of the homes you can live, where your children hear noise from the basement and when you check it, there are skeevers. Your children help you kill the rats. So they are intentionally coded to fight and survive. Dragons are funny because they apparently are coded to insta die when attacking essential NPCs.

Best thing in Skyrim is adopting children, have the AI pathfinding mess up so the child walks outside town and, being set to immortal in the game code for being a child, killing any monster it encounters. When I found where my daughter had ran off to, she had slain a dragon.

"look mom, I am chaotic evil!"

Chilloutman and I need two lancemates for MechWarrior. You'd have to manage just one single mech

That sounds exactly like real wrestling

I guess I'll start reading your links

You know me better than that If I can be snarky I intentionally don't read nuthin!

I think Bethesda has given up on truly trying to address any problems. They know that the average console gamer doesn't care enough about details to notice that things are wrong, and among the PC gamer community anyone who does (or thinks they do) is going to download mods anyway. Why care about getting the most out of your graphics when the players that will complain are already planning to install Bodyslide, Caliente or turn all models into furries.

Saints Row devs: "We need to fill this neighbourhood with small houses. Let's make one and reuse it. We can change the crap in the yard to make them appear different." Also Saints Row devs: "We need to write hints for the collectibles. Where is that flamingo statue again?" "West Providencia next to the front door of house number 217." "Cool, I'll use exactly that as the hint!" Saints Row player: "But every house is number 217!"

In the new SR, if an npc is driving, you climb onto the roof and fire from there. It allows for a lot better aiming. It also leads to that funny scene where the npc tells you "You drive, I'll do the shooting from the roof thing!" and you react "That is not actually a..."

The best thing about the new Saints Row is that they kept Insurance Fraud and the intro conversation is hilarious. SR3 was the most fun in the series. SR2 had the best story, but driving was so unfun, I would not replay it. Also, it was still semi-serious; a serious story with grotesque silly frills. SR4 was well written, but the superpowers made the gameplay trivial. Gat Out Of Hell was the best disney princess musical, but the worst SR game ever made. I am having enough fun with the new one, but I am missing things from 3.

I didn't even play Torment: Tides of Numenera in Torment: Tides of Numenera...

Saint's Row: The lack of strippers, while odd, doesn't actually bother me. The more touchy feely sitcom relationship between the characters isn't really a problem either. In fact, I like that they all have an opinion about many of Kev's exes, unlike with Shaundy, where the whole joke was "yet another ex". What does bother me is the day and night cycle which means that half your time in the game, the game world is completely empty. Why are there no parked cars at night? Do people take their cars to bed with them? In general, I find myself more and more wishing Devs would not do the day/night thing in their games. The odd stealting while the NPC is sleeping (not a thing in saints row, but thinking of elder scrolls) does not balance out the inconvenience of the rest of the night experience. The other thing I don't understand is why I can't do petty crimes anymore. What was wrong with running past people in SR3 and picking their pockets? What was wrong with the abductions of people in the cars you stole? What was wrong with streaking? The basis of how yo do these things were there in previous I. It couldn't have been that hard to do them again. So it feels like cut content.

You get to play Planescape: Torment as a hidden game in D4? Like playing maniac mansion in day of the tentacle?

You kinda missed the opportunity to say: Behold! The Beholder 2 giveaway. I mean, how often do you get to use behold in a sentence?

Nobody will touch Changeling the Dreaming to make a game , so I play what I can get

I am worried about badly written space vampires and space werewolves. Bethesda has a fetish for those things.

Saints Row The Dustmoot, the LARP event you get roped into by one of the NPC's is fun. The concept is the event is played across the whole city and virtually everyone except the player character knows about it, is super excited, and participates. So if you use larp weapons outside the missions, anyone you meet will still get the rper overacting death animation, possibly with a line like "the light leaves my eyes..." I like the concept of the swat team returning to the police station and saying "sorry, we couldn't arrest them, they killed our dustmoot characters".

And this isn't even the short story written from the point of view of a knife and how it feels when it is plunged into someone's body.

Scholars aren't sure if the author is referring to a wet leopard doing the growling or wether the growl of the leopard has a wet quality to it as the growling leopard used for the comparison may be salivating profusely.

It was the deep, reverberative throat-growl of a leopard. I Really got you interested in reading Horus heresy books now, admit it.

The author later apologized for the book and cited health reasons for the low quality. Apparently he really was deathly ill, but nobody knew wet leopard growls were a symptom.

Coming back to silent protagonists. The one that worked surprisingly well was the player character in Defiance. You had 0 agency and were just following orders, but because even in quite a few cutscenes your character was kinda silently looming, it worked out really well as you being the leg breaker who got things done.

6 wet leopard growls, 1 laughter like a wet leopard growl 3 wet growls that reminded the protagonist of a leopard, 1 leopard growl, 1 he chuckled a wet leopard chuckled 1 leopard purr 1 wet leopard purr 1 frothing wet leopard purr I may have missed some of my notes All these describe the sounds space wolves do, similar to the hmm Henry Cavil does in the Witcher
