Because having a female spy do the same things as a male spy would be out of context for the (assumed) semi-realistic international espionarge setting. Chick spys get different training and different mission profiles, so what would be 'character creation!' to you would be 'crappy continuity!' to all the spy buffs out there, or indeed, anyone who cares more about immersion than a pretty butt. This isn't an excuse, but what i'm saying is that the setting in this case is unlike basically any other RPG ever made because the PCs gender actually does matter, on which basis it COULD be said that creating a female character would hamper the story. For example, Indiana Jones being a chick wouldn't actually matter, in terms of plots, nor would Luke Skywalker or Neo, but if James Bond were a chick, key elements of Casino Royal would have had to have been altered. Don't get me wrong though, in an RPG where gender actually matters I would love to be able to play both genders (assuming they were equally catered to). RPGs have little enough replayability as it is, but that's accepting the limits of the devs I guess.

Both times i've been in San Fransisco people were nothing but polite.

The first series of the american version uses exactly the same script, so it really depends on your liking the actors.

Pretty much, yeah, the only level in Goldeneye where stealth was useful was the facility one where you start in the prision, on the highest difficulty. It was the only way I was able to complete it anyway.

Dude, Hades isn't a scientologist. Is he?

Is there really any more difference between the two geners in Mass Effect as there is in any other RPG? I mean, in Fallout, playing a chick meant you could sometimes hump your way out of a problem, but that was about the limit of it. I'm all for gender equality, but that is what most RPGs go for, and there's no real difference between one or the other.

You're dating Hades?

Yeah, forced stealth is SO 1990s.

FF6 was the first to make that jump with its 'twisted industrial revolution', 9 is the only one past that which has the medievaly thing going on.

Oh, yeah, Theif kicks NOLF clean out of the water on the stealth front, but Theif is a stealth game, not an FPS with stealth elements. The problem is that in Theif, you're stealthy because if you're not, you're dead, while in NOLF a lot of the stealth was stealth for stealths sake, when it was often quicker and easier just to run and gun. I don't think I played on the highest difficalty though, so that could well be why.

I'll consider getting '08 if Jags gets '08

Man, oldschool. I remember loving the SMG. Underrated FPS, but the stealth mechanics were pretty tacked on.

I was dissed? Either way, I was just asking if you knew how the image was made, obviously you do, but there's no need to be abrasive about it.

Oh, no, that's cool, I was wondering if you wanted any tips to advance beyond 'typical 15 year old with no actual sense of asthetics or colour', but obviously you just want to be rude.

And people who don't like RPGs call it an RPG, Deus Ex is like Mougli, who isn't accepted by the wolves OR the humans. You can no more call Deus Ex a shooter than you can call Theif a shooter, simply because you're in first person and you shoot. If the game was isometric suddenly it would be a different story, yet nothing would really have changed.

You know that entire image is original right?

Yeah, but i'm still indirectly funding them every time I do.

haha, that's cute.

That's my new favorate one-liner.

No, they're all unique, not to mention depth of focus.

No, this is more my kind of thing

Deus Ex was an RPG where it counted and a shooter where it counted, people who didn't enjoy both couldn't enjoy the game. Ooops, this was more a comment on roleplayers in general than a personal insult.

Actually, I feel kinda bad now, for 15 that BEST one wasn't bad.
