You do get 3 action bars and you can put whatever you want in them. You can't see all action bars at the same time, though. That was what I meant and as already pointed out you can't do something useful with it like the scroll button but have to try and hit a tiny pixel concentration every time which might be several times per turn for each character at higher levels. They could have taken a page from ToB or was it NWN2 where you could drag the action bar out and have as many slots as your resolution would allow.

Looks terrible. I'm pretty sure that was Lando Calrisian at the end there. Guys in white armor looked about as much use as stormtroopers, maybe that was it.

Worst gripes for me are character design, inventory (why 4 inventories for one player, that's insane, one inventory PER player please) and UI (only space for 10 skills in the action bar, no option to customise)

Militant islam as we have come to know it is a relatively new invention. There is no straight line of kulturkampf between Christianity and Islam going back to the crusades. The world is also getting less religious, not more. Although I can't substantiate that, it's just a feeling.

I would think that there is a fundamental problem with that. What if someone hacks the guidance system. You could win the war from a laptop. They would need to be autonomous, pre programmed before each engagement.

Dunno. We took Iceland over from Norway 1600 - something.

Nope. Swedish and Norweigan you can guess your way through with varying success. Finish might as well be Russian. Denmark, Norway and Sweden historically traded a lot and was ruled by the same kings on occasion. Iceland was a Danish possession until they decided to mine their harbor and we decided not to bother contesting their rebellion.

I'm reading that a lot of people are having trouble with the star stones, those are the McGuffins you need to advance the plot. Apparently if you don't get them in the right order they don't trigger.

Yes, Palestinaian cruelty is why so far the number of dead and injured on both sides is so euqal. Oh, wait, no it's not. Isreal quite often has to cave to international pressure to get the peace process back on track, these overtures are, arguably, started with the knowledge that it will come to nothing. Concessions are not in Israel's interest, they already have what they want. The Palestineans don't have a moderate leader capable of pressing the point.

Classy as always Oby.

I suppose I should pretend to do my mod job and point out that we can't have images with **** in them, or rather, the word ****. Funny though.

To be fair the effectiveness of the rockets isn't really the point. Do you know one country in the world , just one country, that would accept rockets been fired constantly into there sovereign territory? A direct hit by a rocket would kill someone and ther e have been fatalities in the past The rocket attacks are provocative and Hamas knows there has to be some sort of response. IMO this is part of there strategy and I have to ask how much they really care about there fellow Palestinians knowing there will be a response from Israel? They care about their 'cause' obviously. Quite willing to risk another Israli incursion to avoid looking weak, which is what they are. It's pointless though, same old story. We have been here many times before.

The rockets are basically terror weapons, not capable of hitting anything except by chance.

I just thought it was rather funny. Perhaps you have heard of Samsungs SSD line, the 840 EVO. Careful to get the model number right when you order, or they might send you one of these.

Another tip. Save your ressurect scrolls. You won't get that spell later on. I was down to one mage last night and I managed to find two scrolls just by pure luck. you can't dump dead party members which means if you run out with one surviving party member you solo.

They were rather severely humiliated, on home ground no less.

I don't know if you are aware, but the term concentration camp doesn't actually mean 'compound for the industrial scale murder of jews'. It simply means concentrating a supposedly non friendly civilian population so you can control them. The Brittish did it in the Boer wars, in the US they were called 'internment camps' where they stuck US Citizens of Japanese descent. Now of course it isn't that, but there are similarites. Movement between Palestinean controlled areas is tightly controlled, the reality for many people is still crossing a checkpoint and being searched just to go to work, Ports are under the control of the Israli authority. In effect, Israel controls the economic development of the Palestinean areas... So they can control them. I mean they are even building another Berlin wall.

Crafting and blacksmithing is hugely complicated, which I don't mind per se, except that the reference is pretty bad. In stead of topics you get an assortment of random books, so you would have to read through them all to figure out how to make bowstring out of animal gut and ground trollpie. Is someone doing a wiki. Someone should do a wiki.

Nobody knew who Arafa was before the PLO started the high profile attacks. Besides, I don't think they could have mustered a Ghandi like leader in that climate. They definately gave up the moral highground in the process though. That could have been a powerful tool. A displaced people condemned to live in a giant refugee/ concentration camp. Powerful symbolism there given Israel's own history.

Say the attitude of the townspeople have dropped down below attack on sight because of previous attempted robberies and that after a roadtrip to the lighthouse you chose traits on several characters swapping out atttude adjustment for attribute points. Is there any way around that. A spell ?. Just one of my characters seem able to move around freely in town, the rest are hiding out to avoid detection. I don't know if it's possible to complete several main quests like this.

I'm a bit annoyed by the stat requirements for everything - diablo style. At least you can equip a lv 40 broom at lv 1 though. I chose a battlemage and I just know all the good greatswords I find at comperable level will be just out of reach of what I will be able to allocate. Similarly it is just not worth it putting any points into ranged weapons for a mele stat dependent character.

No, and no. I don't see how I am suggesting that universal coverage systems are competitive. They are though, to a point. In those instances where services covered by universal coverage, that is, taxes, are provided by private contractors. Hospitals are not private contractors in Europe, they are owned by local government. Private practitioners (as in a general diagnostician doctor's office) and some clinics are and sell their services to the government, and of course there is the entirely private market for optiomal cosmetic surgery and the like. In any case the end game for health ensurers is profit, and in the case of government owned hospitals, it is getting the most out of available resources. When I wrote universal coverage I assumed a government operated one, which might be wrong, obviously both European and US systems are hybrid and reasonably complicated.

Wow it is indeed very good. I wish I could have an extra partymember, there seems to be a lot for a thief to do and I don't have one. Found a ton of crafting manuals, clicked on them and tossed them, which might have been a big mistake seeing as there is no 'just do it' button.

Ensurers are middle men, they bring nothing of value to the system if they don't create an outcome where their cut is justified by increased efficiency and competition. If prices are higher than universal systems that would seem to be the case.
