I know the feeling, although it involved someone a little less...savory than Saoirse Ronan.

Truly the words of a Bioware's fan. I'm very disturbed by that, but not surprised at all. Wasn't the video from some pre alpha far-from-finished test mode thingy? While I do love a good thrashing, maybe we still should wait for the real thing Nope, just like we have to bitch about Sawyer ruining PE without knowing for certain what the mechanics are.

I don't even think this thread is even worth lazily trolling anymore. I also keep reading the title as "BruceVC gone too far?" and assume that it is a complaint about romance threads. Speaking of romance, I'm going to have slightly drunk "romance time" with my girlfriend now.

I usually draft up a basic character design before I start the game, then browse through my options and see if I can come up with something close. I've done a ****load of drafts.

Lets see, the name I would have liked to use would have been censored, so I just used the name of one of my favorite fictional characters. I used this avie because my old one stopped appearing properly and because I truly do not give a ****. I also like Spider-Man.

I'll give you "****" for Anders, but I'm sure anyone who has played TW2(and is thus properly informed) will understand than when someone calls Philippa a bitch, it is solely because she is a manipulative monster that does terrible things and not because she is a woman.

Which is why the Cleric or Wizard should always have "Magic Weapon" Memorized at low levels. That and the fact it is a very useful buff. I agree, the "immune to magic weapons" in BG2 was really stupid. Having partial immunity to certain types of damage(slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning) seems like it would be a lot more fun.

I always knew Russians weren't human. I guess the cro-mags had to go somewhere.

I would say that Philippa is definitely a bitch, and I am pretty sure I can do that without hating on the wimminz. I would go further and say that some female characters in Twitcher are whores, but seeing as those particular characters sold sex in a brothel it is appropriate. I get the sense we are beating on the same deceased horse we were back when that (fake?)Gaider post popped up, so I think we should move the discussion back to the game or migrate to the Russia thread.

1) I've lived 5 years abroad in a culture that is neither Western, liberal, or predominantly christian. 2) I currently live in an area where there is no ethnicity that is in the majority. 3) To be specific, my neighbors to the right, left, front, front right, and front left, are all of different ethnicity/cultures. 4) I am not part of the ethnic majority in my country. Can you say the same about yourself? Seeing as oby is nothing but an alt that has gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaay past its mileage, I would say no.

Just jogged for about an hour and a half, going to take a shower, make some pancakes, and chill with the GF. I just had a mental image of some pre-teens poking a sleeping man with a sharp stick.

While I do think the idea of different cultural equipment is a fine one, I do have a small issue with your idea. I'm fine with being flooded with magic items by a certain point in the game if magic items are extremely common in the setting. That may be a bit nit-picky, but I do believe that keeping true to the laws of the setting should be a design principle.

I've never played Rune Quest so I can't comment on that, but Stun does make a good point. In a game where damage output increases around the same rate in. D&D, not having HP gain is not good design*. Take an average single weapon Warrior for example, they start out dealing 3-10 damage per attack round in 3E, and cap off at 44-72 per full attack, without even factoring in criticals or elemental damage and strength boosting magic items. The Spellcatsers have an even higher damage potential, although it is much more resource heavy and can be counteracted more effectively. We could always start off HP designed to work with high-level characters, but that would make low-level combat tedious as hell. Having HP increase with level might not be realistic, but having a system that works well is more important than realism in a game where almost everybody can use the power of their souls to perform supernatural feats. *Unless they do a SDC thing like Palladium, but that increases with level instead of HP.

Roses are red Violets are blue I've just spent $10.63 on cards and **** Now can I have sex with you?

Hmm, I hope that they deliver on making Physical Adepts and Mages better. Killer Hands should have stacked with the unarmed attacks you get from the Unarmed tree, not replaced them. Mages really got shafted due to lack of spell variety and the clear superiority of Shamans.

Very nice. Is the editor pretty intuitive? I'm going to take a crack at a module when Berlin gets released.

IMO, there is not much more sexy than a woman speaking certain foreign(in this case, ones you are not fluent in) languages.

Perhaps they should make different combat systems for PC and consoles? Console players can have an action game, PC can have tactical. Attempting to have Witcheresque action combat and BGish tactical combat at the same time seems to be impossible.

I can't get hard because a gay couple moved down the street. A slow lateral move, or more of a shimmy? It was the Devil's movement!

I had a fun night last night. Today I will recover by sitting around playing video games.

What like this? EDIT: Loving it. **** yeah. A little darker and mire "dense", but Howlin' Wolf is always great to listen to.

most of the time savages are quite skilled at fighting smart. sparta was quite refined yet was pretty slow to react to things. but ya the general idea is that wolves and such shouldn't focus the mages behind the ranks of fighters, they wouldn't do that most likely.Perhaps "savages" was a poor word choice. I do believe that the general idea is fantastic for flavor, and would also require players to adapt strategies depending on then enemies they were facing.

I suppose it may not be "bouncy", but anything by Toots and the Maytals would be good.

I don't necessarily want the AI to be smart. Rather, I would like it to reflect the tactics the foes I'm battling would actually use. For instance, a group of savages wouldn't be executing complex maneuvers, they would be charging at the party. IMO, having enemy tactics vary by group makeup would be far more interesting than a universally smart AI.
