That's half the idea of the book, that things don't really become clear until they do. *shrug* Not much of a Gaiman fan myself. Found Anansi Boys boring, American Gods superficial and Neverwhere, while I tried to like it (and actually did like the TV show) just had something that put me off.

This thread is seriously lacking in the Simon and Garfunkel department.

I don't like them either. For no particular reason other than not liking them

Oooh, it never even occured to me. And of course now I have 80s songs stuck in my head... again. . Then again, I can think of far worse things to have stuck in one's head than OMD.

1282 was cooler. Watermarks on paper were invented then.

Bob planted an apple tree?

Saw a dream in which Alanshu tried to hire me as a ghostbuster to clear his girlfriend's haunted old mansion. I spend too much time on this forum...

So when do we get installment 3? (And when will the others comment on this thread to encourage the continuation?)

Yes, that seems to be a hellbug monarch. The primary weak spot is its belly. Though the tail, under the proper circumstances can reveal weak spots as well.

Exactly. Part of the criticism I made earlier in this thread You can never truly sneak up on them, as their exact position will be determined the moment you enter LOS and, through their free move, will be in relation to your position. You could spend a lot of time circline part of your squad around, so that running to cover from your spotter, will cause them to run into the line of fire of your waiting squadies. But you will pretty much always need one person to draw the aliens' attention. There deffinitly is no putting down landmines in the patrol path of a supermutant guard, as you could do in Fallout Tactics

Yeah, Psycho Pete's fashion sense...

WARNING: This post may include quite a few Defiance Screenshots. I got this new outfit. I really liked moving away from the hot-pants. Not that I truly mind skimpy shorts on an attractive woman, but I really enjoyed this more covered up look (my character pointing a gun at Rynn from the tv series) : And since you usually see your character from behind, I had this nice get-up that was so not sexualizing women. How mature of me. Then I saw my character in a cutscene from the front: Is that the most ridiculous bra ever? *sigh* "Oh well!" I said to myself and made to spawn my quad so I could drive off: Seriously? That is where it spawns my ride? It actually rotated my character by 90 degrees after I hit the button so it could go out of its way to spawn the quad there? So some random screenshots: Running out of the radius of a crystal's explosion OR every game needs an abundance of lense flare: My favourid antagonist so far in this game: Idiot raiders and Dark Matter: The calm before the boss fight:

Some of the ideas from Allods online, coupled with Obsidian writing, would make for an awesome single player open world exploration RPG with randomly generated maps. You'd get one of those flying ships, with which you could explore and visit randomly generated islands. You could trade between islands. And at the same time you'd be able to eplore an interesting, well written story with great npcs created by Obsidian. Kinda like Planescape Torment meets Spelljammer. But noone ever makes the things I like

I throw a tactical scanner. The scanner reveals three mutons who get a cut-scene of growling and posing for the camera, then scatter and run out of LOS and behind cover. Of course it was the sniper who threw the thing, so her/his turn is basially over as he/she can't reposition and shoot now, having performed one action already. So there goes the ambush. Of course I could have my assault person rush out and shoo one of the mutons out of cover... and be left in the open (but of course with improved defense). That is of course if the Mutons did not run in a way that makes the flush out shot flush them into fog of war. As I said though. I believe it has tactics. I don't think they are a result of a great tactics game though, rather that of restrictions and flashy game design. All I got to see while playing was moving carefully and slowly down the map"so as to trigger alien to spawn in as small numbers as possible at a given moment and each time, followed by using the various abilities of the soldiers to defeat the spawn and move on to where I expect the next group of aliens to spawn.
