Legally Obscene: Rape, Statutory Rape, and Child Support
This is ridiculous. Teen bangs a MILF and then yells rape. That deserves envy, not sympathy. Now identity rape is a much more sinister conundrum than this crap that should upset you a teensy bit more. Unless you are one of those "white upper-class males are the most oppressed people in the world!" Paultards.

Susan Wilson's Kickstarter discussion (split topic)
Anyone who can't spot this as a scam deserves to have their money taken. That being said, KS should really remove this project. It does violate their rules after all. BTW, if there are any supporters of this project on here I could use some money for alcohol school.

EA lives in a different reality
IIRC it was pretty half-assed, had quite a few plotholes, and never got patched to fix the multitude of bugs. It didn't generate near the sheer amount of negativity that DA2 did, but it got the ball rolling.

BSN was always insane. It wasn't until Awakening and DA2 that it went from annoying friendly neighbor crazy to mutilate your genitals and rape your dog crazy.

La neuvième art (comics you've been reading)
I quit marvel after that whole Schism debacle in the X-Men turned into the Phoenix Five, the blundering stupidity of the characters was too much for me to maintain any suspension of disbelief. Would you recommend any of those for a now jaded ex-Marvel fan? If you managed to stay through Civil War, Dark Reign, various other stupid crossovers, and the dread BND, I would recommend them. Hickman sometimes trips over continuity, but his work on Avengers/new Avengers has been excellent so far. I would also recommend Daredevil, Hawkeye, and Indestructible Hulk(stupid name I know) which are pretty good books. Scarlet Spider is IMO the best book Marvel is currently putting out, and almost makes up for the mediocre(at best) Spidey books. I agree for the most part about Avatar. Uber does look like it will have pretty good art though.

La neuvième art (comics you've been reading)
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.

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

IGN asks which RPGs we are most looking forward too
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Pangur's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)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 ****.

size of the game
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to amarok's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)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.

Would you like to see Fate Points in Project Eternity?
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.

Relationship/Romance Thread IV
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Tigranes's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)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.

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.

US Supreme Court Hears Prop 8 Case
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)

Anita Sarkeesian/Tropes and Women in Gaming
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.

Assassin's creed makes it better than RPGS
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.

Steam
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to One-Eye Jack's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)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.

Would you like to see Fate Points in Project Eternity?
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.

Steam
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to One-Eye Jack's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)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.
