Rofl, talk about self fulfilling prophesy. Im not going to get drawn into your rudimentary circular argument technique. Nobody cares what Trashman thinks is fun just as nobody cares what I think is fun, its up to the individual player. One method allows that, the other does not. Ah, moving the goalposts again. Whether or not it was a cheat is irrelevant. You claim the mere existence of a capability breaks the game and I showed that is not the case. People could choose to use that function, or not, and unsurprisingly the sky didn't fall.

Per wiki, Henry VIII died in 1547 while codpieces stayed in use until the 1590's.

There is no accounting for individuals stupidity. Are you aware that BG2 + expansions literally had an "I win" button built into the game(Ctrl+Y)? That's right, you could hover your cursor over any mook or boss and instantly kill them with a keystroke. Yet somehow the game was one of the best ever produced. Weird huh?

Which is beside the point. You're asking the player to compensate for bad design. Why should he? You might as well add a "I win" bottun and then claim it is brilliant design because it makes it easier on the players. After all, you don't have to click it. The fact that it compeltely undermines the entire purpose of the game is irrelevant to you? The purpose of gaming is to have fun, not to play the game exactly as TrashMan would play his game. One option gives everyone the power to play as they like, the other does not. All this "I win" button crapola you guys keep spouting is just background noise. You play your way, Ill play mine.

Kinda looks like chicken pox. Glad it wasn't serious.

That sounds terrifying. What was the diagnosis?

Isnt Sony offering BC through their cloud?

Condolences Astiaks.

Wow, that's an impressive list. Do you do it all by hand? I would imagine a plot that big would require some motorized tiller.

What are you growing? A friend of mine plants a garden every year with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc... and always has an overflowing bounty that he cant eat and passes the extras to me.

I don't quite follow, why does anyone care about what someone else is using as a gaming system?

That's a good point. I take for granted that that my connection is rock solid.

At a minimum you have DSL, right Tep? Are you worried that the "phoning home" disk registration on the new consoles wont work properly at that speed or something else? Even Steam downloads may take you a bit longer but after that what about being "always online" makes you feel you will have problems?

Gah, I would never make it as a contract worker or commission only sales rep. I need the mental security of knowing exactly what I will be paid and that it will happen like clockwork every two weeks. How do you contract workers find new contracts? Is there a online government system where prospective employers advertise job or something else?

A quick Google search returned Zazzle.com.

And we have reached our closed loop nirvana. That didn't take long.

And that was already in your control. Careful, weve almost come full circle, "cant control self" is peeking around the corner.

Yeah, the calendar was a dead give away. Reminds me of the pictures that Russian girl takes when traveling through Pripyat.

So you choose the "unrealistic" defense when deciding how others should play. *nods* All of that was already directly within your control for every IE game made. Whether or not a player chooses to "break" their game is their failing, not mine. But we can agree on a slider or check box.

As far as I remember, all players and NPC's have a soul. Im not sure if that carries over to the bestiary.

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.

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.
