Hmm, if designed like Baldur's Gate(where there was enough XP to hit the level cap several times over) will grinding even be useful if you could do it in PE? Also, what if XP was rewarded with dealing with random encounters, but not ties to combat, so you would get a reward for either butchering a group of bandits or talking them down? IMO, that sounds pretty reasonable.

Isn't that common with Oby threads?

No. They are true heroes fighting this Great Satan by exposing information. Never mind if it gets people killed, international relations get damaged, or extremist groups get more ammunition to use for recruitment, people have a right to know every bit of military intelligence and the **** talking diplomats do.

Using this logic, any type of relationship with a character(from friendship to rivalry) that is written for a character supersedes any other possible relationship. Doing so is bad design because it restricts content to particular types of PCs who want to pursue a particular relationship with an NPC, which was one of the main complaints(and something I agree with) about romances. Now IMO, the actual problem is that most games use a binary influence system that registers that the NPC likes or dislikes the PC instead of attempting to implement a system that includes complex and "deep" relationships rather than the "friendship/romantically involved" that has become the stale standard. I would rather see PE explore more negative or impersonal relationships that have rarely been done well in PE(like rivalries and "two people who work together but are cold towards each other"(not sure of a proper word)) than the ones that have been done over and over(like friendships and romances). I think the best solution is Ieo's suggestion of having branching paths for relationships with similar amounts of exclusive content for each type of relationship possible with the NPC. Implementing it in PE will be much easier than implementing a similar system in previous Obsidian games, seeing as they do not have to shell out money for voice actors and animated conversations.

I think this is, from my subjective point of view, the most accurate review I've seen of the game. That's even worse than a game being branded as bad. At least a bad game you're likely to remember. Well, YMMV. I'd rather play a game I tremendously enjoy while I'm playing through it and then later forget about (DA2, some others that I've forgotten. ) than one that causes active suffering to me. But I'm not a gaming hipster! Then you are a fool. The only reason to play games is to cause yourself immense suffering and/or boredom. If you are having fun, you are doing it wrong. Not really excited for either, found TW2 pretty boring and repetitive, found DA2 boring and repetitive with worse mechanics than the first. I will check out both if I hear good things about them from people with similar tastes, or if alanshu guarantees the ability to wear a golden codpiece in DA3 in the case of DA3.

Is it just me or are the majority of spider pictures in this thread cute? I am a firm fan of the principle that there are some things one is not meant to watch. I agree, I would have preferred to see a sequel to a lovely clip I saw a while back featuring two charming ladies and a cup than that 2 hour ****wad.

Bioware is shamelessly pandering to the mole-covered demographic.

I'm considering trying this when I'm done assembling my new rig, would any of you recommend it to someone who normally dislikes MMOs?

It is a proven fact that beards make everything better. EDIT: OP, you should add "meh" options.

Hmmm, both will be cinematic games with actiony combat, probably open-world, and a focus on story and choices. I don't know if there will be much difference besides the setting and the amount of **** shown. I will have to wait and see, but I'm going to give the edge to PE, which will bend them both over the table and plow them hard.

I also didn't like how they changed the origin from veteran to cop. Does anyone here know where to find the Alan Moore Marvelman?

Meh. This is a really inefficient way of gathering intelligence. Not only is it a truly massive amount of data per person, but so much of it is bound to be worthless garbage. I wonder what percentage of the Internet data is related to porn and cat pictures? You are making the assumption here that innocence is a valid defense.I'm not sure if modern governments can be trusted to care about such nuances. Defense against what? Look at all the crud the IRS is dealing with now that it came to light that they targeted Tea Party activists. We clearly need to stay on top of government agencies to make sure they aren't abusing their power, but the citizenship still has a lot of ability to do so. To be fair, when the Tea Party came along we saw a large increase of organizations applying for non-profit status. A tax agency focusing resources on groups that are anti-taxation actually makes sense to me.

After watching "The Human Centipede 2", every time I see one of the little crawlers I hear a middle aged fat man squealing "yeeeeeeee".

The 10 minute short film is better than either of them.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R6QLiNFHd8 Thomas Jane should do everything Punisher for now on. I like the guy from Warzone, but he's no Thomas Jane. I would like to see HBO do Punisher as a series, actually. If Thomas Jane had done War Zone it would have been even better. I just liked War Zone because it did Punisher right. Punisher isn't about long drawn out revenge schemes, he's about a bullet between the eyes. Really? I feel like the Punisher (under Ellis at least) Had a lot of the more drawn out ridiculousness that populated the Jane movie. Seriously, the guy went all out in wiping out an entire crime family with as much planning as Jane. True, the Punisher is fond of complicated plans when the target is big enough. I liked that the Thomas Jane Punisher focused on that aspect rather than turning him into a generic action-film vigilante.

I remember going to see that when it came out in theaters. I felt like I had just watched a feature length Family Guy with some A-list actors.

"Fondleslabbers"? Wals, sometimmes I think you're too English for me to understand without a translator.

For characters from the Adventurer's Hall definitely. For the unique NPCs, it depends on the character, but more than likely it would fit at least one.

Completely against this. I don't mind the ability to export a character(and all of their equipment) for use in modules or PE2(if it features the same PC), but a newgame+ seems unneeded.

0/10 Total failure. Perhaps you might have better luck using either your obyknven of Lord of Flies accounts.

Didn't they just try that with Windows 8?

To be fair, when the Affleck Daredevil was made, Marvel licensed the rights and wasn't as involved as they were with later films. I did really enjoy the new Dredd movie and am very happy that the comic managed to bounce back, now if only I could get them here in the US.

It is part of the settled order of things that when a man is faced by a part of nature he doesn't like he should _always_ fight. Never flee. Then, ideally, kill, cook, and eat said nature with a cold pale ale. I would agree, but I prefer a nice stout myself.

O'RLY? Yes. Not only are that woman's breasts smaller than her head, the way she is posing exageratess their size. Somehow, I'm not surprised.

The Sun doesn't exist remember? Strapping him onto a raft and pushing him off the edge of the world(he does believe that the world is flat right?) would be more appropriate and cheaper.

I was. IMO that and Knightfall were terribly thought-out gimmicks that are second only to the Spider-Man Clone Saga and OMD/BND in terms of crappiness. Superior Spider-Man might usurp that position if it is allowed to go on too long though. That isn't really saying much... Who is publishing it now, 2000AD or IDW? I can't seem to find any trades of it here in Houston.
