The publisher should hire me as a consultant then. By having out-of-game mega-transactions, they can circumvent all the negative reviews over in-game micro-transactions. And by making it an elvish language course, they can probably get into a literacy program and have 0 expenses.

Does your character learn elvish at some point or do you as the player have to learn elvish, with Capcom offering two week intensive elvish language courses?

In school, when I was writing my own RPG setting (as one does as a 16 year old), I had a kingdom where they let the military bureaucracy run everything, and the first thing they did was rename all villages for efficiency. They would have approved of Checkpoint Rest Town.

Got to let he die once, find out who her father is, then turn him against Halbeck for his daughter's death. I never find that dossier though.

Watching this:

Gaza - conflict, war, land, water rights, bad colonional legacies...
Next in UN Security Council votes: The US votes in favour of a permanent ceasefire but claims the vote doesn't actually count because the ambassador had her fingers crossed behind her back.

The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
You lasted the whole episode? I couldn't. I am weak 😛 It was my last attempt at watching anything Starwars.

Obviously feel free to ignore Malaka Miller, that man couldn't say an honest word to save his life. It is interesting to see the two juxtaposed like this.

There was no US ceasefire resolution of course. The resolution called for recognising the importance of a ceasefire, not calling for a ceasefire. Instead it wanted conditions to be created where a ceasefire would be feasible. Basically it was an attempt to block other countries from doing anything against Israel while the US pretends to negotiate. I don't think I have ever seen anything as cynically disgusting as that performance by the USA ambassador to the UN. At least she proves one thing: regardless of skin colour and gender, all people can be pieces of excrement.

That game had so much potential. Completely ruined for me by the extremely stupid rest/healing. Devs who's approach to development is "lulz we iz hardcore lulz" deserve a punch on the nose.

Obsidian Entertainment: My Thoughts on most of their games
It is being patched. There are still numerous minor bugs (like rumours not clearing out of quest log) but overall it is playable and enjoyable. There seems to be at least at times importance to the order in which you do things. You are given options on how to do things. The system works, but some class choices seem complicated for the sake of being complicated. Some things have been hit with the nerf bat. I think the current verdict is, if you have waited this long, might as well wait another month for the big patch. Writing wise? Jae is annoying as feth. Don't feth up and get even near her fething romance. It doesn't fething belong in 40k. Fething Jae should Not be in 40k. If we wanted annoying as feth smuggling scoundrels we'd watch star wars. Though what sort of war dat sposed ter be? A propa waaaaagh is not just wun, too, tree lettarz. A propa waaaaaagh has lotz of lettaz. Lotz of Boyz and lotz of dakka. Neva enuff dakka. Star Waaaaagh would be a good name.

Owlcat's writing improved a LOT in Rogue Trader. Goes to show what a comprehensive setting with a detailed lore bible can do. Owlcat is doing a better job at it than a lot of Games Workshop's own Black Library authors. Which is not much praise, come to think of it, taking into account my opinion of those authors.

Without profanity filters, discussions about ancient Egypt would be boring. With filters, the story of queen Neferbreasti has completely new dimensions.

I also left out Tyranny. I think the phone rang edit: mind you, I played through tyranny once and have nothing to say about it

I played Kotor 2 completely once, but unlike many I did not enjoy it as much as the original. I felt it was trying too hard to be edgy and moral grey. I finished FO:NV once. I played quite a lot, but again, Obsidian's way of writing "moral dilemmas" I find meh. Obviously, humanity has proven time and time again, that Obsidian has a better understanding of humans than I have. People really do believe that between state funded healthcare and Caesar's Legion, the raping mass murderers are the lesser evil. PoE1 I played. I enjoyed the beginning. It got so tedious, I could not see myself to complete it, and it killed my interest in the story. NVN2 I enjoyed and found one of the better written RPGs. I also think that it fell into the post- Planescape Torment trap of every NPC having to be this unique out of the ordinary, breaking conventions of NPCs attempt, which made me long for plain boring party members. Which Outer World had and which made the game so refreshing. I think I finished Dungeon Siege 3 twice...

Team bonding is important. Can't rob a train without proper preparation. The percentage of course counts all the optional activities for your criminal empire and the murder app. Not sure if it counts hidden collections, photo hunts and tourist attractions. By the way, the contract to kill the Necromancer was my favourite.

How far in are you? Has the larp started yet? Edit: Saw the picture thread, I see you summoned the mighty bowelrod and smote thine enemies.
