Without spoiling too much, all classes are represented as companions. (with monk, rouge and barbarian being in the expansions though)

I meant crafting in the vein of PoE, like adding small bonuses to existing items. Giving your starting robes/amor a +10 to a skill or something similar. It's mostly because I often can't stand the look of of unqiue items in most games. But yes, making them Masterwork certainly makes them pretty great, I just wish you could add those smaller bonuses as well.

Finished as mage - really loved the magic crafting system, but would've loved to see some crafting for weapons. Also the ending was a little abrupt, but not really seeing the merit of the widespread criticism. My game crapped out on Leviathan's Cross and Twin Rivers though, so I never were able to fully explore the first or even visit the second (maybe due to the fact that I guessed the symbol of Sunspear before I should).. Too bad, but not game breaking. Also, seeing as so many factors influence each other and require triggers, I'm pretty lenient on those kinda bugs here at release

Oh, I didn't mean to say that either Oxenfree, Inside or Firewatch are good stories - it's just interesting that such 'small' titles are so prominent on the list.

It's very Icewind Dale and I personally like the companions a lot more.. Although many seem to have found them a bit too wacky for the setting.

Sure, but that's kinda what made it what it is - ironically, today it's seen as an unapologetic campy and 'selfaware' little classic, that knew it was being over the top. It's in this light I compared it to Tyranny, which is imho also looking to be an unapologetic campy and 'selfaware' little classic

Yep, I opened it too soon and it seems I missed out on a lot of content and messed up some of the narrative (people keep saying I have 2, when I have 3 etc). Can't seem to get into the sections of the oldwall under it either.

But I'm actually impressed with how many independent titles are on there - Firewatch, Inside and Oxenfree as contenders for best story? That's pulling above their marketing weight.

'Someday' - gotta look out for that phrase from now on. I'm liking the foreshadowing done in the series so far.

I was so into my lawful evil playthrough that I didn't even flinch when I had to do that - more like resignated scoff. 'How selfish' I thought... oh well, better make it right.

Judging by how many games he own (and gives away for free) - I imagine it's a pretty serious hobby.

Yeah probably not a game for you. I went in expecting Conan The Barbarian levels of campyness, so far not dissapointed.

It'd argue they have a vastly different sense of scale, but to each his own...

Not really, the people of the ME universe have literally traveled from one end of the galaxy to the next. How is it moronic? - having listed how history is full of humans also skip locally unexplored ares to oneup their peers - to go to the next galaxy? Sorry, but your logic is not sound when your argument is that it's not the next step, when there's still more to explore close to home.. If so all the examples listed were also 'moronic' within their own time and reference frames.

What you might've said is that human settlement has always been a slow and steady expansion. Exploration was not - you are right in that it was always searching for new opportunities, or rather to say, fueled by necessity. From Erik The Red, Zheng He to Columbus .. All of them went looking for new opportunity far away when there were plenty of lands much much closer to home that had not been explored or tapped. Erik went to Greenland at a time when the interior of Scandinavia had not been mapped or even particularly visited, meaning he sailed 100s of miles, when he could've gone a few miles inland for new lands. Columbus sailed across the Atlantic for months on end, when less than a week away there were large swats of land in Africa that had never seen Europeans. In these cases however, economic necessity caused both explorers to seek more profitable rountes and prestigious lands, than the readily available. Now Mass Effect screws this up a bit by having the expedition being both a colonization and exploration (if I understood correctly?), which seems much riskier than simply running to an uncharted solar system in the Milky Way. But perhaps they found technology that made it easier to jump between galaxies rather than huffing it at near light speed between stars? If so then the jump to Andromeda would actually be the cost-effective route.

True I'd wager he was supposed to be in his late 30s - and resting on his laurels.

Have you read the comic? Valérian is a pretty weak character actually, he mostly survives on speed and charm (at least he thinks he's charming) - it's a fairly clear example of a feminist comic, where Laureline always comes in to save the day.. For reference: It works though, for what it is- as they slowly build a working relationship where both of their strength come into play and they learn to respect their difference, once they put aside 20th societal notions. If anything it seems they made him a bit more masculine and capable in the trailer (Mass Effect inspired it seems as well)

You know, this has happened everywhere - even here in this small little duck pond of a nation - we're seeing those who think differently, treated like criminals.. And it's mindblowingly scary.. And some of the best discussions I've had were with people I disagreed furiously with - man nothing is more exhilarating that debating with someone who knows what they're talking about and can go toe to toe with you.. And yet, we don't really do that anymore, less here too. We avoid it, 'cause it draws out the 'crazies'.. Are we taking it too seriously? I think so.. and I agree with Colbert who has similar thought (but as always he makes a more eloquent point than me)

This is what happens when both candidates promotes a confrontational, latently aggressive and an 'us vs them' approach. The idiots of the world hears their candidates rethoric and dehumanization of political opponents and sees it as a legitimization of violence against them..

Back to The Future II was eerily spot on...

Do yourself a favor and get Mask of The Betrayer asap.. One of the best rpgs in the last 10 years

They were closed and we see the remnants of them down in the sublevels. Where we see the old 'Delos' sign as they are walking around

2-3 seasons would be great and I wish more shows were interested in being shorter. Dexter being a perfect example of not taking a dramatic storyline too far. Sometimes a shorter more focused narrative makes the better impact.

The developer's reply (on reddit) https://m.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/5ax9a9/some_notes_on_recent_controversies/ "The way this is modeled in the code is just the quickest way I could think of to get the system working on that night I wrote it seven months ago. And it did work just fine, for those whole seven months. It's only an uninformed reading of the code, inferring hidden emotions from data structures (instead of reading them as the probability functions they are), that could lead to this conclusion."

It's pretty awesome actually - and love that a Danish actress (who was mostly known for Romantic Comedies back in the day) is the lead director of the place But yeah, it's comparable to one of the good Star Trek Holodeck episodes. Full of things not doing what they're supposed to and how that affects human morals and ethics.
