    http://www.stasisgame.com/ Can someone give me more info on this?

    You laugh but there are women like that today, just watch women raw lifting competitions. As I said they are the exception and they have access to training equipment high calorie food and strength gaining supplements. None of which was available in the past. Shield Maidens were found as defenders in armor (light?) who lost (how effective were they?). It's not just elite branches of the military. It's in everyday sports too, womens league exists for a reason.

    Yeah there were 2 women that passed the minimal requirements, big whop, women can now strangle men in close quarter combat. We are talking about a women wearing a full plate, wielding a big ass great axe or a mace or a greatsword and still being able to fight. Are you telling me that women can do that? Gods, are you quoting myths and folklore? Why is it silly? A cheerleader is an average women, she gets put through the same training, she gets knocked out after the first whistle.

    That is just what a brain washed Russian would say!

    How do you know that, as far as I have read women failed the combat tests in the US in droves, there were a few exceptions, but the general consensus was the women were unfit for the front lines. Strongest women against strong men, not strongest. As for women being able to but don't want to, that is bs that you are thinking is true but isn't at all corroborated by anything. Soldiers carry up to 45 kilograms in to battle, they need to be able to run/walk long distances with that weight if it's needed. If you are going to keep insisting that they can preform as good as men, why are there no women is special forces or seal teams or any other elite branches? The army doesn't need female soldiers that can preform on the borderline, when they have man who can far outstrip them in performance. As for the history, yeah there are women that were participating in wars but they were not on the front lines hacking away with swords. edit: a good analogy that I read: "imagine putting cheerleaders through similar training to play in the National Football League. "In the football analogy, if the cheerleaders do well in the training facility with the men with adjusted scores and then they get suited up and sent out to play in the football game – well, guess what? They don't last beyond the first whistle," she pointed out. "And the football game is non-lethal combat." " edit2: Heh, I guess they are going to open up the combat roles to women in 2015/2016. They just need to design new tests.

    Facepalm.... Are...are you for real? Women and men aren't equal in strength, they are similar until they hit puberty, then men gain muscle mass much more easily. For an example, man and women of equal height and weight have significant differences in strength. It goes even further then that, a women with more muscle and weight then a male counterpart will still be weaker, the difference in muscle weight would need to be significant for a women to be stronger, because she can't achieve the same muscle density/mass as the male counterpart. As for the parallels, I don't know what sources you were reading but I would drop them immediately. The facts are that most women couldn't finish the training exercises that were designed for combat. Another example, that you can't fudge, is that every sport across the world has a male and female league. I mean for ****s sake Serena Williams the number one tennis player in the women league lost to a man who was 200th on the list. Oh I know that there are strong women, that is why I said most. The thing is if we take those exceptions which we would consider the strongest women and put them up against the strong man the difference would still be great. Another problem is the amount of those strong women, they could never be anything but an exception to the rule, while strong man are a dime a dozen. The article you linked says there are 20 women. See my point? Also there is no indicator of how they preformed on the battlefield. Biology and evolution is on the side of man as far as strength is concerned, there is no denying that.

    Oh I'm sure that some women can wear it, but that is not my whole statement. I said that women can't carry plate swing a great sword and hope to do any damage. If you want a parallel to modern times, women still aren't allowed on the front lines. Why? Because they, on average, severely under preform as opposed to their male counterparts. I am not trolling you are just being unrealistic, women and man aren't equal.

    The second part of the conversation made it seem like the synagogues were used for it though, that would make it seem like it was organized by multiple people.

    Did I understand it right, the Jews put a bounty Tzarovs head?

    Do we get to upgrade the torture room or customize it? I mean if there is only one style of torture it's bound to get repetitive very soon, that being said I believe that Obsidian will make torture the most fun it can be.

    I don't get why some people are so against Tolkien races. I mean what ever race the story or game has, it's ultimately just the flavor of the setting, the story won't be diminished by it, nor will the plot be. In the end it's not what you have, but how you use it.

    There you go Gromnir you were even wrong about the boob plate. While they changed the picture of Cadegund to have a less pronounced bulge, it still has it and it is still different from the male plate armor.

    It certainly has slightly better specs compared to it's Asus counterpart, but the Asus software is superior and bios is really good from what I have seen.
  17. Sarex
    That is really interesting, hope that gets explored more in game.

    It has been posted already in Random News a few threads ago, it even spawned a make your own top 10 spin off topic.

    Licenses are worth as much as someone is willing to pay for them. The best example is the Homeworld license. There were some guys that wanted to buy it and they got 20k dollars, or something similar to that, from the community, what happened when it got to the action is that it ended up being sold for 1.35 million dollars to gearbox.

    It's like all their greatest song in one video, I'm saving this.

    Point taken, didn't know it was that far off. As for Linux, I'm gonna have to try it at one point.

    The biggest thing I'm worried about is directx 12 support, on the condition that what we heard about directx 12 is true. If it's just another gimmick like directx 10-11.1 then it's whatever, but if it really is what everyone is saying it's going to be, then maybe they will follow what they did till now and give full support only to their newest gen of graphics cards. Some news tell that 5xx to 8xx will support it, some say that 5xx-7xx will have software support while only the 8xx will have hardware support. Overall I do agree with you, the waiting game is a fool mans errand.
  23. Sarex
    Yeah, you are probably right.

    Not going to wait for Maxwell?
