Or a stick up the ass and a burning desire to smite opposition, which we Paladins have in spades.

No idea why this makes me laugh.

Buy over 9,000 nega-copies of PE just to spite them!

Judging all TV shows like "Here comes Honey Boo Boo" or (Insert Jersey reality show) is just plain stupid. I do have to chastise you for not including Dexter on your list however, that show is excellent. Most of my time is spent studying, working out, or other things, so I have a hard time catching most good television programs. The only thing I loyally watch is Doctor Who.

Either way, I couldn't give a ****. In fact, I think I'm at the point of giving negative 10 ****s. Whatever happens, the fallout is sure to be spectacular.

On the fence about Da Vinci's Demons. I can't decide if it is more dramatized historical fiction, or creepy historical fan-fiction. It was definitely one of the better episodes of this season. Hopefully they have finished feeding the emotional junkies their "friendship is magic and solves everything" fix and can continue delivering episodes with solid plot.

I don't always post on forums, but when I do, I prefer Obsidian Forum Community.

End of the world... Project deadlines... roughly the same thing, sometimes. Well, looks like it is time to start a war with Best Korea, then set out with a female companion to see of I can stop Kim Jung Um from destroying the world and not become sexually attracted to and fall in love with said female companion while doing so. Maybe I could provoke Oby into getting Best Korea to fire some rockets or something...

Ahh, but when was the last time you were pulled into an adventure that resulted in saving the world, with a female companion at your side the entire time? o_O Well I have had to work on projects alongside females, close enough?

Choosing how to play the PC does not involve controlling how NPCs react to the PC. As a man, I am perfectly able to be friends with a woman without wanting to have sex with her or loving her.

Or we could use a 2d100 and get even more exact. Which would be quite tedious. D&D stats are an abstraction and should remain so, IMO.

This thread just won't die will it? Just let Obsidian do what they want. You don't need romance to make a game good or realistic, and the inclusion of romance will not cause the game to implode and turn into a Bioware crap heap. Also, can we actually talk about other kinds of relationships besides romances?

Well the biggest problem with D&D stats is that they don't take into account differences between individuals with similar stats. For example, I highly doubt that two people who would score 16 would be able to lift the exact amount of weight in every single muscle group, even though they are ranked the same by D&D standards.

I address the validity of the poll's results further down. Also, thank you, confidence is more important than skill. I disagree. Finding someone who is essentially average in every conceivable quality is going to be less common than finding people who excel in certain areas and are weak in others, or someone who is better/worse in all categories. After all, every D&D stat can arguably be improved with work or deteriorate with a lack of effort. IRL, yes of course. However, this poll is not representative of real life any more than Oby's ramblings are in touch with reality. Take into account that the questions in this poll that determined ability scores had four answers each, which essentially were a negative, a neutral, a positive, and a super-positive. If one were to chose the positive response for the questions concerning one attribute, they would end up with 15 or 16(as I did with STR, CON, and WIS). If one were to chose an even mixture of positive and super-positive for questions concerning a particular attribute, they would end up with a score of 17 or 18(as I did with INT and CHA).

Someone, somewhere spent his commendable talents and a lot of time making a rape scene. Must be that guy from Austria that kept his daughter in a basement. Or like half of deviantArt.....

If the fight is over who has the most neckbeard, the Chechen police.

Unless you're the most charming genius athlete in your country, I'd say some of the other stats are a bit off too. heh Well I am quite strong, have good endurance, was in the top of my class, and scored excellently on my SATs. I like to think of myself as charming, but that interpretation may vary between individuals. I typically use logic rather than outright charisma when convincing people about something though, so perhaps Charisma is a it off as well. Wisdom should be split into "Perception" and "Willpower" to account for those of us whose that do not have equal ability with both.

Lawful Good Human Paladin (3rd Level) Ability Scores: Strength- 16 Dexterity- 13 Constitution- 15 Intelligence- 18 Wisdom- 15 Charisma- 17 Morality is right on, but I think Wisdom is off.

Eyes are on Dragon Age 3 now I forgot that was even in production. Who wants to bet on how much it will piss people off?

Well DC had a whole "holding the line at 2.99" thing, but apparently that was retconned with the New52... Of course, Marvel's slogan "We charge an extra buck, we don't give a f**k!" has been used for he last few years.

Glenn Beck's and Alex Jones' ratings...

Fixed that for you.

Do you think this is a significant enough amount of people to make them care? IMO, most people probably dont care, its only we hard core nerds that even notice. And even out of us its a small fraction that is bothered enough to actually not buy the product. I dunno, I'll buy a few products that do not require DRM, but I have been buying a lot less games lately because of DRM. I'm also not buying any EA products, but that is mostly due to their games being low-quality crap.

I have fond memories of Whedon's run on that book. I'd recommend that. I may hype the book a bit more than it deserves because of my bias for Kirby creations however. The new Scarlet Spider has been amazing, so I'd check that out if you haven't already(although #15 was a bit of a disappointment).
