Institutional discrimination is institutional discrimination, it don't make no never mind what religion does it. It just rubs me the wrong way.

It's not as good as MotB, it's alright.

Whats not all, you have to make sure none of the party have shields in their inventories or the AI will switch to shield and.. fist.

How do you beat the battle with the herald of Zehir. I mean the thing is invulnerable, even if you could stay alive long enough to focus on it, it regenerates. Best effort so far has been to clear them out with the exception of one Yuan ti priest, and the herald. I cast 3 gate spells from scrolls, and all that did was slow them down a bit. Is this the end battle.. doesn't feel like it from the journal.

Well one could reasonably argue that 'Islam' constitutes the sum total of practices and dogma. The Alevi would disagree. That was interesting, I knew very little about the Alevi. I should qualify that the Muslim women only wear the headscarf and such when they go to the mosque. Really, I thought that was only the case with very few reformed Islamic countries such as Turkey. In any case you cannot be an Islamic woman and escape ostracisation if you do not wear it. I can't say anything about what it's like having to face that kind of pressure, the experience is beyond me. Most women seem to focus on the discrimination they experience from the outside, which is an expected dynamic. That doesn't mean that there isn't something inherently discriminatory at the core.

I use 'programme' for a government/educational initiative as a forinstance. A computer 'program' is something else.

Amen brother.

Some of the design work suffers from having been repeatedly and brutally beaten with the ugly stick. You get used to it. If you are lucky there is a model for each race you can actually stand looking at, you can usually find one.

Without the 'u' apparently. Anyway webster's says either work, the firefox spellchecker is no dictionary.

I'm the guy who lobbied for over a year to have a Firefox spell check bug (which I reported) fixed so that "dialogue" would be a recognized spelling of that word. I'm almost always going to argue that getting language and accent right (even if it's intentionally wrong) is worth the effort. I don't get it, how else would you spell 'dialogue'.

The Catholic church is on record advocating against contraception in the middle of a pandemic, they also actively argue against the safety of condoms. Technically it's true that they do not provide perfect protection, but that's just muddying the waters. It's all there is. 'Abstinence', give me a break. Their ideology costs lives, unquestionably.

Isn't there some rule that says if you go there you lose.

Aliens you are going to have been.

I'm curious what Swedish word for **** sounds like Bice. Yatzee is a funny guy, but it's not like he's the final verdict on anything.

I think Islam is a backwards religion, prejudiced against women, etc, but I draw the line at saying that Muslims are such and such, behave so and so. etc. It's pretty simple, the former is my opinion on religion, the latter is a gross generalization about individuals.

That was a weird ****ing attack. Who ever heard of terrorists going in with automatics and mowing down people one by one. What is this all about, Kashmir... When I first head about it the Indian commissioner said 5000 casualties, surely it can't be anywhere near that much. The only thing that makes sense to me is that somehow the terrorists wanted to provoke an Indian military incursion of some kind. Unless they are stupid enough to think that it would start a civil war inside India.

The protection racket has a way of creating its own demand. Am I the only one here who thinks the idea of officially sanctioned merc companies is completely reprehensible.

The show is really showing its midlife crisis. They are scrambling to make people care about the thrust of the plot, and failing.

Dude, Dungeon Keeper was boring as hell.

I though combat was the better part of TW (compared with the horrible NWN2 combat), the journal wasn't either better or worse from other games, just a bit different. Anyway, good luck to CDProject for the console SKUs. Hope it sells well, and although they're one of the more competent RPG developers out there, I'm really not hot on a possible TW2. I hope they move on with a new non-TW project. It's all mouse click attacks, no parries or dodging. I would expect something a little more when it's one character. NWN is a whole other bowl of wax, controlling an entire party and entirely based on stats and rolls.

I like the game, don't like all the things the engine can't do, but it's alright. It's not Mask of the Betrayer, but what is these days.

Me too, bad time to be out of pocket, but what the hell. I never gave a **** about Christmas and I don't have any kids, so.

I don't see how the combat could get much dumber. The journal is a mess, not complicated just poorly arranged.

Gothic 3 is unplayable though, the combat mechanics will drive you gradually insane.

Ok so it's 'weakness', so what. Is the knee jerk reaction here to exorcise all weakness and distance yourself from it. A bit cold don't you think.
