Singular stories of cruelty are to be found in any conflict, not that I disagree that the Taliban must be stopped. It's just not very fruitful to demonize the enemy to the point where you are nolonger trying to understand his motivations. I just yesterday read that 30 Danish soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan. I had no idea it was that many. I mean out of a force of a couple of hundred.

Actually no. WW2 ended the depression, the New Deal really just extended it in an attempt to prvent it from getting worse. Some interesting (at least I thought so) reading if you ever have the time: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org It's not like a war is anything like a huge government spending spree where one actually takes control of key industries, oh wait, maybe government can do something.

Free market is religion to these people, there is no other way to explain it. One can't really relate until one has heard the likes of Ron Paul rant on the subject. Anything done by government to affect the economy, even regulating interest rates which all countries do, is inherently evil and a sin against the free movement of Capital.

How did we get to Scandinavian home density, and who the hell cares ?

Are there any mods out there that will allow me to do a complete rebuild ?

I thought it got boring rather quickly. The HUD, genius ?, sure if you say so. You can't really do without interesting characters and Deep Space has none; the hero is your basic 'amnesian' blank slate, one or two humans there who aren't terribly engaging, the rest is more of the same predictable surprise attacks. The boss fights are better than usual though, it's not entirely about finding out the traditional 'one weak spot'.

I just had 'fade to black sex' with an elven transvestite prostitute, which my girl didn't seem to mind in the least. I figure I'm about 2/3 done with the game, but the grind is getting to me and the challenge of combat tactics has worn off. The game lacks a bit in atmosphere and interesting characters. You really ought to have a chance to rebuild the NPCs completely just after they join you. I mean you discover what works through trial and error, why not acknowledge that. Also why not allow mages to unlearn a spell in favor of another one every other level.

I'll be the first to admit I don't understand the science, but sea levels are rising, as observed in several tropical islands. Where is the extra water coming from if not ice ?

Hypli Upsaleinigen.

Guys, please. The phenomena of global warming is not contested, what is contested is greenhouse gasses and the effects of reducing them. Whatever happens in Copenhagen at the climate summit it's just going to be a very tenuous beginning. I dunno, it could be a huge waste of time with no noticeable result.

Power corrupts, and you inevitably end up with an oligarchy.

Sounds like a very expensive joyride.

Yes I have been looking for the tome to make me arcane warrior or bloodmage for some time now for just that reason, armor. Weapons aren't going to make much of a difference what with my attack rating still so low. What area is the arcane warrior tome/npc in ?

I have been really annoyed that my elf mage, the first char I bothered to finish the intro level with now has a really inneficient skillset. Can someone suggest a strong fun build.

How do you get them to dafault to ranged, and switch to mele once the enemy closes. (for tanks to shoot and draw agro) Also can you have just some of your party hold ground while the rest run in.

I wound up with the necromancy AOE spell, I don't remember it's name. Low damage huge aoe friendly fire is inevitable. trying to get to chain lightning now simply because shooting sith forks out of your hands looks cool, but leveling is slow now and all the steps along the lightening tree are more or less a write off. The walking bomb spells are pretty good though, and the mana siphon from necromancy is a great booster after a fight. Overall I'm overwhelmed, the only party member doing any consistent damage is Mortigan. Started the Redcliff battle 4 times, got wiped out 4 times. Don't have enough mana potions for a prolonged fight. I'm thinking about restarting (again) to get my build right. Unfortunately no cheats that will let me do that.

Well maybe it's time he found a new shtick, probably trying too as well with all the other events he's doing.

I wish there was a way to do over your mage build. If I picked just the lowest level ranged spells from 3 or 4 groups I would be able to spam damage to a single target, then advance a single discipline all the way. The cool down periods are murder.

It's surprisingly easy to be snooty on the internet, I don't even notice half the time. Knee-jerk thing.

I'm sorry that should have been, 'since the initial large number of posts has dwindled considerably there does not seem to be any pressing need for numerous dragon age threads, in fact having less might help keep them more active.'

Lovely

Go away, topic Nazi.

I played the elf mage origins, and I didn't bother picking any of the mage tower loot up simply because I thought having your possessions robbed or ending up in a dungeon was a common theme. lols. It was actually pretty good. I gave up on my dwarf fighter. Somehow he always ended up with massive injuries and was a level below everyone else from always being dead. When I tried to solo him a bit to catch up with the party XP wise he proved completely useless.
