Does anyone ever? On-topic: Sorry OP, I do enjoy a few American/British comics. Will admit that most are predictable crap with hack writers(like Bioware games!) but the few gems are definitely worth picking up. I'm currently closely following Witch Doctor, Saga, Daredevil and Scarlet Spider.

I don't know why, but I have the sudden urge to watch Doctor Who now. On-topic: The game looks very promising.

Who cares about an IGN poll? IGN will probably bash the games because they won't be cinematic trainwrecks that throw good writing away for explosions and ****.

I will be more than happy if PE is relatively short if content is rich and well thought out. Filler content and trash mobs for the sake of 40+ hours would not enhance the game at all.

That's kind of the point, don't you think?Character differentiation doesn't mean anything if every build will be as good in all circumstances. I'd much rather see a game where a ranger is genuinely more at home in the wilderness, a well-bred rapier-carrying noble in the royal palace, and a rough knife-wielding street thug in the back alley.This kind of diversity would make for much better replayability and would encourage you to build a diverse, well-rounded party. The only real pitfall is that you'd have to be careful to avoid situations where your critical path is completely blocked due to your character concept, but I think the Obsidian devs are smart enough to avoid that.I'm not arguing that all builds should be equally viable in all circumstances, I'm pointing out that having weapons restrictions does not impede certain classes and is not very effective at damage control in cities.

So I got to thinking, one relationship I would love to see is an intense rivalry. I think that having a character driven by the desire to best the PC at X would be quite cool. What would make it even better is if it could be a friendly rivalry or a bitter one depending on the PC's interactions with the NPC. I think having multiple sub-types of a relationship would be a nice break from a binary choice of friendly or unfriendly. Also try to make all relationships have plenty of content.

Well I'm even more excited for this now. I didn't think that it was even possible to want PE even more.

The problem I see with weapon regulation in cities is that it only severely hinders warrior classes, while Ciphers are close to their full potential and Wizards are still able to cast spells. So while the angry Barbarian may not be able to slaughter half the town on a whim, the Cipher could still mind control them(or whatever the hell else they can do) unimpeded by the loss of their weapons. Unless Ciphers require some easily identifiable item to utilize their abilities.

I thought it was something about children being forced to gay marry by the state? Anyways, I don't think that someone's right to marry should be decided by popular opinion. If it was, then one of my good friends could not have married his lovely wife in my state.(They're an "interracial" couple)

The problem with making games "more inclusive" is that translates to "insert X to appease group Y" in the publisher's thought process. Like many have said, this often means games will blend together and become more homogeneous rather than diversify. Also, the games I play are already inclusive IMO. I play RPGs, which have well-developed female characters and often provide the ability to play a strong female character. The PC can be almost anything you want them to be in RPGs. RPGs don't need someone like Anita(whose whole crusade seems to revolve around Nintendo platformers) to tell them that women are not portrayed well in them. Oh and I just watched Archer and finally realized where AwesomeOcelot's avatar is derived from. God damn that show is ****ing great.

I just watched Puncture. I must admit, it exceeded expectations.

Spent the day nursing a hangover. Nothing like NWN2: MotB and pizza to bring you down from a night of hard drinking.

That damn 9 year old made me miss this. Backing as soon as I get my paycheck.

And the **** in the neighborhood probably does it better than my girlfriend, but I rather have sex with my girlfriend than with her... I will not feel so cheap and dirty after playing with her... Aptly put.

Something similar happened to me. Luckily I had PST installed(from GOG)and was able to keep myself entertained throughout my stay without having to read a book. What really pisses me off about Steam is that it is required on a good number of 3rd party games, even if you did not purchase them through Steam. You shouldn't have to have third party software that you could run the game perfectly without to be able to play the game.

I feel that the less PE takes from Arcanum the better off it will be because I find Arcanum to be a terribly designed game. For one(as AGX-17 already mentioned) Tech is inferior to magic/primitive. In virtually every way, magic beats tech. There is no argument that a Tech character can perform at the same level as a magic. Some people may like that because "LOL unbalanced is goodz!", but IMO there should have been at least some advantages to playing a tech character aside from being allowed to ride on trains. Secondly, the combat system is horribly designed. Critical failures occur at an extraordinarily high rate, the turn-based combat is not tactical at all, and the real time combat has no pause option. I can't think of another party-based RPG that has a worse combat system. Thirdly, Character Creation/Leveling is also designed quite badly. They should have taken a page from GURPS and while using the same resource to advance attributes, skills, spells, etc. have different requirements for each. That way if one wanted to play a mage, they wouldn't have to choose from learning more spells or beefing up their magical ability(by advancing attributes) and the level cap could be quite a bit lower. Essentially, Arcanum suffers from balance issues. While the setting intrigued me, the atrocious mechanics prevented me from enjoying the game or playing it for more than 5 hours.

No. The less PE takes from Arcanum, the better.

Maybe now they'll get over that hump they've been on for the last week.

All DRM is cancer. If you're willing to pollute your PC with it for the sake of "convenience", go ahead. I'll happily spend the extra 5 minutes it takes to install mods to a GOG(or similar) DRM-free version rather than rely on hand-holding.

That refers directly to why she is blocking comments on her video, not that the audience is literally being deprived of their ability to have opinions or is incapable at having discussions anywhere else. He isn't claiming that it is impossible to have an opinion about the video, he is stating that it is impossible to post one's opinion of the video where the people who made the video are most likely to see it. 1. Maybe she should be. If she wanted to start a conversation about negative tropes for women in video games, why doesn't she start a small forum for people to talk about it? She did over shoot her budget by $144000, so it isn't like she doesn't have the resources. 2. That is a good thing. Someone could see an interesting perspective they had not thought of and come out better for it. There would also be a centralized location for people to talk about it, rather than have to navigate several video game forums in search of an interesting conversation. If 9% are active participants, then she is screwing them out of their say by blocking everyone's comments. If her supporters want to congratulate her on a video they think is well done, they cannot do it directly. If a detractor with something more intelligent than "FEMINAZIS SUK BALLZ! LOLOLOLOLOLOL" wants to present a legitimate complaint about the video, they cannot do it directly. By taking a blanket approach to weed out trolls, she is depriving herself of direct exposure to the initial thoughts of others. Nobody gains anything by blocking comments, while some have a chance to gain something by allowing them. EDIT: Frankly I'm a bit tired of arguing about a badly made video that was very superfluous. Last statement from me until she posts another. I dislike how she disabled the comments. Feedback(especially negative) is always something to consider. I think she is depriving herself of feedback that could allow her to make a better video by cutting off a direct link to feedback. I think the video is not well executed. She mainly talks about 4 franchises in about 24 minutes, which she could have done in 10 minutes. I think she assumes too much about DiD plot model. For Star Fox, it was about putting resources behind a more recognizable IP that was fairly popular at the time. For Zelda, the villain is neutralizing a threat, not simply kidnapping a helpless princess. For Mario, Bowzer is a goddamn dragon turtle that breathes fire and commands armies. For Double Dragon, it is a stupid ass 80s game, of course it is regressive crap, it was made a quarter century ago.

I'll take DRM-free over cloud saving any day.

Wait, he? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... Excuse me, have to correct some things. It seems your detective skills are a bit rusty.

You can buy it on Steam if you wish. Or you can make the sensible decision and buy it from GOG. It will not require Steamworks.

How far did you get in to the video? He actually says "Trying to censor the dissenting point of view does not make it go away". He doesn't assert that "dissenting views will not be presented". His point was that by disabling peoples ability to discuss her video at the same place where her video resides, she is giving the impression that her ideas can not hold up to scrutiny. Instead, she has become a Damsel in Distress who needs various white knights to save her from the various hordes of the internet. She exemplifies the stereotype that she spent 24 minutes railing about. Yes, we are having the discussion here on the Obsidian Forums. There is no discussion on her youtube channel and she isn't directing people to where they may discuss her video either. The average viewer isn't going to think "I have something to contribute, let me go to [forum where a discussion is occurring] and post my thoughts and see what others think!" It is hardly a copout. The internet is an extremely toxic place saturated with trolls who like nothing better than to **** with people, especially those who seem to believe in something. The negative reaction her kickstarter pitch and video received is hardly an uncommon one. She should have known what would happen.

That anti-porn but pro-sex article was incredibly condescending. On the video, .
