Limiting rest areas
Gfted1 replied to Hormalakh's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Sadly, no. The people interested in controlling how you play your game have many shifting reasons why it wont work, from it being "unrealistic" to "it breaks the game" to "verisimilitude" and everything in between. My personal favorite is the group that claims to be physically incapable of not pressing the "rest" button. That's right, apparently there are people that suffer under a crippling affliction that prevents them from not pressing any button labeled "rest". This condition does not manifest itself on any other button title, only the "rest" button, and in their opinion the only way to fix this is to force everyone else in the world to rest at specific locations. True story. -
Racism, sexism & bigotry
Gfted1 replied to Barothmuk's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Rolf, stay classy. There are no topic limits. If posters feel that they have already spread their opinions on other threads then they can always take the opportunity to not post in this one. -
Im having a similar issue with Neverwinter Online. The respawn rate where I currently am is ramped up so fast that while youre battling one group, the group you just killed respawns and jumps you too.

Hes already bought a few countermeasures in the form of an air horn, pepper spray and a paintball gun.

We have a coyote problem in Illinois. My coworker has them freely walking his neighborhood and has to keep an eye on his dogs when they are outside, even in a fenced in yard.

WRT hunting, I don't have a problem as long as the animal is "used" (eaten, fur used for something, etc...). I do have a problem with killing animals for pure sport like shooting a rhino or elephant just to mount the head on your wall. Also, no killing endangered stuff. As to your question, power fists would be totally awesome but I would prefer gladiatorial mecha battles between humans. It doesn't have to be to the death, just until one mecha is incapacitated.

What's the appropriate gesture for such an occasion? I'm not sure pouring out a 40 applies here. Lol, Im not sure. I haven't played in months but now I feel a bit anxious and have an uncomfortable feeling that someone somewhere is teabagging the corpse of my beloved mage. Yikes! Does DDO only reward XP for completing the entire objective? No kill XP?

Well, I did it. I unsubbed from WoW. February 2005 to May 2013. It was a good run. I think I need to go pour myself a shot of whiskey.

Look, this will no doubt cause bitter tears but I really dont care about things that are beyond my control and no, I dont directly care about some anonymous hardships some strangers may suffer. The Earth will be perfectly habitable for my family and my families next generation and beyond that, nothing I can do about it.

Did they send you home with a blood pressure cuff so you could check it yourself?

Of course the answer to that question is, it depends on which end of the gun you are standing. If its "someone else" getting killed its very easy to climb upon a pedestal and make sweeping generalizations about civilized behavior and morality. When the barrel is pointed at your head all those grand thoughts go out the window and all of a sudden its ok to kill someone else to save yourself. Human nature.

Huh, I didn't know everyone could do the double-tap slide, I thought that was a Tiefling racial feature. I think "recovery" influences how fast you can perform actions after doing certain things but I could be totally wrong about that. I know it takes my mage a second or two to begin casting again after performing the dodge maneuver.

So you feel JadedWolf meant: Only in matters of capital punishment, its uncivilized and they feel its wrong to kill people no matter what, but in matters of self preservation its totally ok but they would feel bad? I guess that's as good an explanation as were going to get with statements like that.

Um, yeah, I had read the previous 101 posts but thanks for the summary on what this thread topic is about. Meanwhile, sometimes thread topics drift. Im curious as to where a person that feels killing is wrong "no matter what" except when their life depends on in, really draws the line.

You're not even really engaging in a discussion at this point, you're just ridiculing my point of view. Well, you'll excuse me if I don't really feel like wasting my time talking to you, then. Don't you think its more likely that you don't want to face yourself? I mean, Im just some disembodied voice on the interweb trying to understand your point. Just a few posts ago you stated that you believe it is wrong to kill "no matter what". Now we have established that you would in fact kill someone to take their life preserver to save yourself (while feeling terrible about it of course). This can be reasonably extrapolated to; you would kill someone else to save yourself in any situation where your life depended on it. All Im trying to figure out is where your "morals" really kick in.

Not semantics, just poking holes in the absurdity of "its wrong to kill people, no matter what". I bet you would also kill if someone was pistol whipping dear old mum, or trying to snatch your kids, or any number of reasons that suddenly become "justifiable instinct" in your head. Its all exactly the same as willfully killing someone.
