I really enjoy(ed?) the focus on substandard imports from China. The melanin in wheat gluten, wacky toothpaste and other fun stuff!

As long as there's real dialogue and my rig can squeeze some decent FPS out of the game I think there's a good chance I may enjoy this. I'm really impressed with how they integrated story and tutorial/character creation!

I think we should try living in inverted fishbowls with fancy lighting, cultivating seaweed and seafood in the sea.

Maybe getting permission to do something within the setting would be more reasonable. Hades: If you permit, I would trouble you for your opinion on Obsidian crafting a game within Fallout - an old IP. Your desire for Obsidian to create its own IP and revel in the freedom it gives has been expressed many times.

You guys should try reading Sandman, and the series Lucifer which is derived from the former. It discusses many things. I've been reading Lucifer over the past week and the writing is quite superb. So far he has created a universe outside God's boundary and opened portals for beings that would wish to be there. I think one of his desires was to escape God's predestination. However, things have not always gone smoothly and God has foreseen it and its outcomes.

Despite the fact that he contradicts himself by saying he isn't? "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." - Matthew 10:34/35 Seems like J-Sama is adept at getting forum ppl worked up too. VIOLENCE!!!1

Plus I'm kinda wondering what's player and dev feelings on saturation of these checks, whether used in dialogue and in-game situations (say pushing boulders off cliffs onto giants). Where's the point where players get fed up or take the checks for granted because there's "too many"?

Was thinking more of a Wisdom check to see if someone's pulling a fast one against us, or estimating (not trying yet) how successful we'd be in something. More Intel checks would make my mage feel smarter too.

Could we get characters that try to cheat us and [Wisdom] checks to see if we can spot lies? + [Wisdom] checks to estimate whether we can pull off some bluffs of our own etc.

I play soccer. Try talking to an art school if there's one near you.

I wanna be some kinda charismatic Arcane user that's cunning and heavy on the diplomacy, bluff and maybe intimidate. Maybe a sorc/rogue? I like to tease people and be mischievous, but am a nice guy so CG it is I guess.

Congratulations!

I think there'd be more tension if safe resting areas (inns, hospitable allies etc) were more rationed. That's a little different from rationed saves.

Yay!

Btw a suggestion for MotB: Have the quickitem rows be hotkeyable too. Only one row's displayable at a time and we need to hit the tiny up/down buttons to scroll across rows currently. I'd use the other rows much more often if I could access them quicker. For example if i want quickitem 5 on row 8, I could go Shift+8 (to get to row then 5 for quickitem 5.

Watch Gurren Lagann too guys.

It'd be nice if the difficulty slider adjusted AI to be "smarter" in terms of item, ability, tactics and spell usage for big encounters and not just rule adjustments. If hardcore devs like JE can take down dragons in 2 rounds, I bet he has several ideas how to make crazy party vs party battles. Maybe 'Normal' difficulty on default and a 'JE challenge lulz' setting that pimps up the same encounters. Btw I admit the powergamer in me loves the Craft Wand feat. My Eldritch Knight's running around casting arcane spells, taking heads off with my scythe and casting Barkskin, Call Lightning etc as needed. Plus Knock and not to mention Cure Disease and Remove Poison wands are cool too. Tasha's H.L. and Gust of Wind wands ain't half bad too. If only Body of the Sun could be a wand...

I'm mostly watching new stuff nowadays. Long continuing series: Bleach Naruto Shippuuden (Akatsuki ftw) Death Note D.Gray-man New series: Darker than Black Claymore OverDrive Romeo x Juliet Funny Jap stuff: Seto no Hanayome Hayate no Gotoku Nagasarete Airantou Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge

The games need to have good frame rates on most machines for something like a RTS, especially multliplayer.

Hihi!

O LAWD IS DAT SUM STARKRAFT 2?

Yay!

I think Bloodlines is the best contemporary-setting game that I've played. I'd play it more often if it wasn't for the lags.

Where's my dire panda? :'(

Seems okay, but how'd you get 1-10?
