Nice try, but I think we all know who the real Eminence grise has been all these years.

I'm not the one being annoyed by patches, publish now, patch later has been the industry standard for as long as I can remember, putting that all on Obsidian is neither here nor there. I guess it can get problematic with the lack of internet connection, and lets not forget that NWN2 shipped with a fatal bug, but we should all have gotten used to that long ago.

Yes, but thats a history lesson. Most of those problems were solved.

Why do they get the camera wrong for every NWN2 release, my guess would be that there is something fundamentally off with the engine that they didn't think about when they were molding it to fit NWN2, and now it's not practical to fix it. Camera was bad, but got tolerable with patches, if it's back to the 'bad old days', that's a deal breaker for me. Anyway I'm going to wait and gather some more impressions before deciding.

The weapons had 'health' in the old fallouts as well.

It's always a choice between reliability and maximum accuracy. Although I seriously doubt rifles deteriorate with every shot fired, as in fallout. If you want maximum rate of fire outside of VATS you have to carry around lots of spare weapons. I'm kinda disappointed in the lack of weapons, I mean just look at the fallout 2 collection http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Fallout_2_weapons

Whats the attraction. Do you guys actually enjoy it. Seems like a bum job to me.

Fawkes is a 'her', could have fooled me. Yes the ending is retarded.

What do you mean by that, the members elect their reps, whats not fair about it.

I watched Mad Max 2 and 3 last night, and the sheer number of references I was able to pick up surprised me. The male leather armor skin : Exact copy of Max's armor. The raider boss from Mad Max 2 wears a hockey mask, uses a scoped .45 magnum, the prestige handgun of the 3 available in the game. The raider mohawks and piecemeal armor are very similar. Max is called a 'wastelander' by the small community he encounters. The major of Little Lamplight looks exactly like one of the kids from Mad Max 3, down to the colonial helmet. It's only missing the tribals from fallout 2, which were also in Mad Max 3. I'm betting they forced the devs to watch all the films. I kinda miss a vehicle section, or a thunderdome in the game to top it off. just putting together a working bike, or buggy could have been an interesting quest. Also, one of those fancy high tech bows with a pulley mechanism to support the draw would have been a very cool fallout 3 weapon.

I just get spiders, by the pound apparently, they come from the attic above my apartment. The really big fat ones I evict, the rest I am very Buddhist about, although my sister's dog likes to hunt them and eat them.

Did anyone ever figure out how to open the gate at the Mama Rosa factory with the Chinese remnant ghouls. I know there are special versions of the Chinese assault rifle and pistol, but I never found the key, or the source of the radio transmission, assuming they are through that locked gate.

I bet they say that to everyone.

Lime, tarpaulin, a shovel... Bad joke, yes.

Part of all this is simply smoke and mirrors, they can still sell those cards to people who have given up trying to figure out the naming policy and think they are getting what it sounds like, instead of what it is.

If we are being realistic however, gravity makes enormous exoskeletons unfeasible.

We don't have scorpions here. A shame, they look really cool.

We are talking really grim 'grapes of wrath' times here, handouts were saving lives.

FDR's spending meant the difference between living and starving for a whole lot of people.

The problem facing any would be welfare state is mostly that government can't contend with globalization, that makes it much harder to affect demand, which of course you can do by giving people more money to spend. Throttling up or down doesn't automatically work, but in the face of a prolonged recession it's imperative to make the attempt.

Saying Obama is Marxist is a subjective judgment, nothing more. Marxism is an anachronism, at least economically speaking. That's what you want to paint him as.

Are you drunk again..

The devil is always in the details, as usual you have bundled so much together that the bundles no longer make any sense. There you go, peanut gallery out.

Classic

I like it. I eagerly await a big budget Hollywood action flick that ends with everyone's heads exploding. Structural explosions and collapses are so yesteryear
