Dragon Age: Inquisition
That isn't saying much. Wish the ability bar was bigger though, 8 seems a bit too small considering you should have around 12 near the endgame. It also seems like the passive abilities are a bit underwhelming to be honest. Also, I'm not sure if it's a bug or not but my Mage PC's barrier decays a lot faster than other party members. Is anyone else getting this?

Dragon Age: Inquisition
It's like Torchlight IMO. I haven't played it much because it's a bit too grindy for my taste, but it could be a good distraction for a few hours.

I assume games that you can buy for less than a dollar(or equivalent currency) because they don't look very good.- Dragon Age: Inquisition
Please don't, chances are most of us will end up as romance options.- Journalism and sexism in the games industry
LOL. Nice to know that I've damaged gaming by boycotting corrupt sites and writing e-mails to Gawker advertisers(the same Gawker that helps spread celebrity nudes and stolen screenplays). I should've called 10,000+ people harassers without proof, smeared the gaming community, and just dealt with the rampant collusion and corruption instead.- Journalism and sexism in the games industry

No Wasteland 2? DoritoPope can **** right off to Doritos flavored Mountain Dew then.- Constantine
Tbh, the source material isn't that great either. I have given the comic a whirl and I was not hooked, but I guess it's down to different people different taste. Have you tried the Garth Ennis issues? IMO those are some of the best. Included the best panel of the series as well. If only this would've been picked up by HBO instead of True Blood or The Leftovers.- Kaine Parker's Pretty Woman
Ian Miles Cheong? Goddamn you //edit: more women please, i have derailed for long enough. Did you know Eva Green's mother is Jewish? I wonder how lil'Fuhrer would take that?- Kaine Parker's Pretty Woman

No, the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. The suspects may not have proof they are not guilty, but the responsibility to prove that they are guilty lies with the prosecution. This is the way it should be, as convicting someone for not being able to prove a negative is not a very good standard for a legal system. It would certainly suck of someone was convicted because they stayed home alone and didn't have an alibi for a murder that occurred close to them or involved someone they were in conflict with. To get back to this rape law: you're a father I believe? If one of your kids were accused of rape by someone they had casual sex with and could not prove that it was consensual and the accuser could not prove that it wasn't consensual, why should they bear the burden of proof for a baseless accusation? Shouldn't the accuser be required to bring at least some proof of rape before making accusations? But this isn't a baseless accusation, this is a woman (or man) going into a police station, going through the interview process, submitting to tests, etc. It's an incredibly difficult thing to go through for a victim, hence they high rate of unreported assaults. As for my own children, I hope to raise them with the beliefs that casual sex is inherently dangerous. I want them to take precautions. Do you have unprotected casual sex? Probably not, that would be crazy. Well, making sure that the sex is consensual should be right there alongside wearing protection. It's better to be safe. Baseless as in "without foundation in fact". Which an accusation without proof is. The problem with this is that between two people who can not prove a positive or a negative, you are putting the burden on the one who stands to face legal consequences. As awful as rape is, instituting a system where it is possible to convict someone without evidence is not a good solution. As to casual sex and your children, no matter how you raise them you can not control their actions 100% of the time. People do dumb **** when they are in college, heat of the moment kind of stuff. In an atmosphere where consensual hook ups involving drugs and booze exist right beside some filth taking advantage of intoxicated people, a system that places burden on the accused creates the possibility of someone being accused of something they didn't do and unable to refute the accusations. As to myself, I have had sex with people I didn't know very well. A lot of them were ****ing crazy, for lack of a better term, but I don't believe I should be subjected to charges of rape for going after crazy ****. I would certainly not want to be put into a situation where I had to prove a girl that jumped on me at a party gave consent when all I had was my word against hers or a girl claiming I raped her because she cheated on her boyfriend with me and didn't want to break up with him(minus the rape accusation, the later has happened to me).- Journalism and sexism in the games industry
