Last day of work for the year, woohoo. Already know I got a mid-four digit bonus. They are taking us to Benihana for lunch then we will probably be able to go home.

IMO, you should just cut them loose. Everyone has already dug in and unless you wife "changes", which is a completely unreasonable position to take, nothing is going to improve. Also their sanctimonious attitude is really irritating. Dont involve the kids.

Beasts of Burden and "Stash" Inventory
Gfted1 replied to Hormalakh's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
Another day, another contrived mechanic. This time to prevent players from "degeneratively" carrying loot. Because weight limits are hard. Aye carumba. On the bright side, since Ill be humping back to every half dozen battles to heal anyway I guess I wont be too affected. -
Nice looking work. Out of curiosity, do you have a picture of the inside?

Rofl, the Gamespy reporter reads like an angry child.

I have to admit, I was really shocked by Raithe stating that even pocket knives are illegal in England. Thats a case of the pendulum swinging too far the other way, imo.

So I havent played WoW in months, probably since around D3 came out (I still pay for it due to signing up for 1 year). I hadnt even purchased the MoP expansion until my wife got it for me 2 days ago because I just couldnt be bothered. I installed it yesterday but only logged in long enough to briefly peruse the new stuff. I couldnt even remember how to control my toon because now my muscle memory is tuned for D3 (WASD vs mouse click). I cant figure out why I cant overcome this inertia. Maybe its the end of an era after playing for 7-8 years? Meh.

...they're for family protection, hunting dangerous and delicious animals, and keeping the king of England out your face. /Simpsons Why are they legal? I dont know, Ive never looked into it.

Fully automatic weapons are not legal for general ownership in the US. Semi-automatic, yes.

Were they not allowed a penknife because they were minors or are adults also banned? I had no idea things were that strict there. EDIT: Nevermind, I see you said even adults would be in trouble. Whats "trouble"? A ticket? Jail?

Couple of excellent posts above. TBH, I think the gun genie is too far out of the bottle to ever be able to have any realistic gun control. Too many out there. They would literally have to go door to door to make sure all guns were gone.

Pay attention simpleton. Kill experience is not a DnD mechanic. Anyone can use it. I see, you have some axe to grind with Obama. Hilarios, and sad. Of course nobody said "exact same mechanics". None of the mechaincs Im talking about are exclusive to DnD. Anyone can use resting, experience points, saving, healing, etc... It is inferred by invoking the IE name that PE would be similar, which daily is being proven to not be the case. Honestly, youve never played an IE game have you?- 36 replies

Um, right here, two posts up: Are you even paying attention to your own posts? If youre just trollin the day away, thats fine, just dont waste my time. Also, whats "dont get Obama" mean? Every rpg offers a "hero", "companions" and "exploration". By invoking the IE name they new exactly how that would be taken by the consumers. Throwing every single mechanic those games offered out the window all in the name of saving the player from "degenerately" playing their single player game is the true bull****.- 36 replies

Wait a minute, are you implying that gaining experience for kills is owned by Hasbro? People should pay attention when trying to be smarty pantses. This game was sold as being the spiritual successor to the IE series. As far as I can tell that was complete marketspeak as the only thing that seems to have carried over is the isometric perspective.- 36 replies

Thats just straight up creepy. Reminds me of those "fans" you read about in the news that show up a celebrities houses claiming to be their boyfriends / girlfriends.

C'mon, were just people chatting, you dont have to get your Sawyer Defence Mode all riled up. We can simply use common sense to determine that EVERY class isnt going to have an ability to sneak. Remake as in completely and utterly the exact opposite of every IE game ever made. You know, the inspiration to PE.- 36 replies

Gfted1 replied to Osvir's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
^But why is that even an issue? Unless youre soloing the game or playing an entire party of rogues, you wont be able to sneak the whole party through a room anyway. So you sneak your rogue through and then what? The unsneaky party members will have to kill their way through. Am I missing something here? Is this entire mechanic to prevent the player from sneaking one guy throught the room and getting experience for that but when the rest of the group kills their way through they dont want you to "double dip" on experience? Realistically, how often does that happen that you have ro remake an entire mechanic?- 36 replies

Havent they stated in yet another mechanical revision (to prevent people from farming experience ) that gaining experience from killing mooks is out? With that in mind it seems you will always have to complete before gaining experience.- 36 replies
