@Zoraptor, Really? I am tiered of your Demagoguery, as in appeals to prejudices, and ignorance, and low on anything that resembles facts and real arguments that build on consideration of all the facts.

Pretty sure. You don't see western politicians talking about revolution and uprising in that manner and he was stating quite plainly that it was planned, we have no reason to doubt him. [...] Riiiight.. amd how many Western states that had a Colour revolution just prior to that? in our case a nationwide protests that uncovered vote rigging and led to a political victory in the ballots. Anyway you are welcome to assume whatever you want about his turn of phrase, and extrapolate theories concerning the whole of Euromaiden movment, what happened later and what happens now, while disregarding any other factors, but at this point I think we will have to agree to disagree, as I explained here and here, your reverse pyramid is nothing but satisfying your confirmation bias. Your remind me religious "scholars". The problem is when you know what you want to prove you'd likely find the "proof" you seek. For example reading your posts, one might think that Russia is made of incompetent impotent fools, even though Ukraine is in their back yard part of their sphere of influence, and the have all the advantages, from leverage mechanisms, control of media/narrative, amenable local populace with common history/prejudices against NATO/west and even cosy relationships(or at least understanding) with the previous government. Always outplayed by US\EU, always faced against power hungry hardliner and always has to resolve to direct action to save those people from the menace from the west. What lucky incompetent impotent fool Putin must be for stumbling into one after another NATO leaning country, always making a strategic real estate grabs...

Just to make sure does the interrupt window is the same as the animation or "Action time" and thus most buffs that increase attack speed by reducing recovering time, doesn't effect your chance of being interrupted ?

ohh, I remember them panicking and the FUN of the chasing after them around. I just dont recall anything about a moral system.. I believe that 'moral failure' is what you got when you failed a saving throw of the effects I mention above (through spell or magical weapon) but maybe I am just remembering it wrong.. indeed leader charisma effected the party charisma, maybe charisma was part of some saving throw calculation :?

Whose theory? also so what? iirc in Germany support was really high during that time of the Olympics, when they have been saving ethnic Germans all around ...

The way to deescalate a situation starts with addressing immediate threats (such as armed militias and break down of rule of law), and agitators who heat up the scene preventing dialogue.* As for Russia "jumping in". I think that situation hasn't changed for NATO, Ukraine is still a low hanging fruit for Russia and if Russia choose to invade, East Ukraine will be used as sacrificial lamb, I still doubt that NATO will go to war over Ukraine and will likely posturing themselves safely along the dnieper river. * Speaking of which I think its about time for Russia to put its propaganda in reverse and actively work on a solution, IMO there is nothing else to be gained here (unless Putin is in full imperialistic mode). They already got away with Crimea, Ukraine is thoroughly destabilized and the rift created between the east and west will continue to work for them, while the result of fighting might sip in and can have negative impact on them.

Well, this might end well after all, on a bigger scale - no need for the US and Russia to jump in. Ukraine's probably screwed for a while to come, but seems unavoidable. I wasn't aware that US planed to "jump in", or that that either had any right to jump in, although Russia already has jumped in for a real estate grab in Crimea and continue to exploit the situation as it did in all other NATO leaning countries in the region.

In case you working in customer service, I'd suggest thinking about other things you can do, because you sound like you are near the end of your "rotation"

really? I recall that you could use fear or confusion which made creatures to lose control and wander around, but I don't recall a morale system in bg\bg2 and neither in PoE for that matter :/ Edit: maybe you mean "morality" i.e. the alignment system?

Are you sure its not your bias that is talking? because you pretty much described every god damn political campaign i.e. identifying main issues, and riding them to the ballot.. which you papered with your usual vague EU\US support and insinuation that revolution in that guys local lingo is more than what the Orange revolution was. So no, you don't have anything but vague insinuation on the "planed" part, certainly not about the Euromaiden.(the link does nothing but feeding your confirmation bias) I don't suppose you have anything on that "US\EU support" being anything out of the ordinary or less than what has been doing in that time period(certainly nothing like Russia recent actions since the start of the crisis) Overall you seem to be narrowly focused on laying blame to one side (which to you svoboda represent) and legitimize the actions of other, (like Russian media)

I don't really care about what your opinion of Tyanybok, if you think that he was honest in this specific interview or your interpretation of the context in which he used the term revolution. Most defiantly I don't care about your suggestions and implications, the question was pretty straight forward, what you think that "they" planed and how it relates to the events at hand? As I noted, he is speaking about pre-election times, about trying to motivate their constituency and yes most likely trying to leverage the success of the recent Orange revolution (a nationwide protests that uncovered vote rigging and led to a political victory in the bailouts) He specifically noted that the version of revolution you try to imply is dumb down concept and speaks about taking part in Kyiv election. Also like him or not (I hope you aren't under the illusion that I support the guy), but what he said or how he said is not out of the ordinary(for people who read opinion columns, not just the PC statements). The fact that its one link is important, because I can find dozens of interviews with Russian officials, that you'd claim that were led or their words were put out of context. So if you want to extrapolate a conclusion based on this interview, based on your opinion about its validity, concerning the whole Eromadine movement and the events that followed, so you can finally find the legitimacy you seek for the armed militias that took over East Ukraine and Russia roll in it exploiting the situation, you'd need just a tiny bit more than that (sarcasm) EDIT: The best I can I give you is that such action and the wake of the Orange revolution was a contributing factor in the unfortunate events following the police dispersal.(one in many thing that is wrong in there and needs to be addressed)

Again with your strawmen arguments.. I don't know to who your initial post about "spontaneous" was directed too, but I didn't asked about it, nor if there was plan, only what exactly are you suggesting that it was.. Because like Sarex, who every now and then throw Clinton archives because to him it proves that Euromaiden was some kind of CIA false flag operation, which in his head legitimize Russia actions; or like oby posts about antisemtism, which is a subject he don't seem to give a S*** about except how it reflects on the situation(aka mud throwing). Similarly I have this sense that the only aspect of this "plan" that you care about is in claiming the its exactly the same thing as what is happening in Eastern Ukraine and doing so through thin word associations and ignorance. So again what exactly do you think that they planed? or is proved by this single interview you linked, by member of Svoboda party (un doubtfully picked for that reason). An interview in which he notes current issues, and speaks about the looming presidential election, saying all the usual stuff about going to the voters, increasing awareness to their actions, mobilizing activists etc. Who specifically address the concept of "revolution" as your refer to it as "dumb down".. For them revolution is pretty much their "change" slogan, associated with the recent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Revolution Orange Revolution] More importantly even if the interview wasn't used out of context, and represents a broader sentiment in his party. The Euromaiden reached across parties and ideologies, with many liberals, students, etc (svoboda being the smallest opposition party to support it). As noted in the interview various opposition parties and activist groups tried to organize protest in the past (which is familiar to me, here we had a new planed yahoo protest every half year, with no one giving a S*** unless its dry day on local news). With the Euromaiden protest lifting off after the government suspended preparations for Joining EU. So again what exactly do you think that they planed, except wining election? and what it has todo with topic?

You made me click the 'view anyway' button, for once it was worth it

i have to agree wtih gromnir. distinguishing based on boob or not-boob is pretty ridiculous on its own. it doesn't really have to do with realism/prudism/any other ism. it's just sort of a ridiculous thing to consider. i don't know. when i think female adventurer, the first thing i think isn't boob, (i guess surprisingly). That the problem right there, its not about your general perception of male/female adventurers, except to how it relates to being able to distinguish the two at glance, while looking on a small figures from a top down angle. The only ridiculous thing about this, is the kind of excitement over boobs that I haven't seen since school, only here its "mature" people trying to show how they don't care about boobs, or don't view women that way (as if we do). From everything we know and recently seen with Plate armor, it isn't about hitting the abc's on cap size for sex appeal, its about making subtle change that would make sense. If you have a better suggestion for notable visually distinguishable features please say so..

Indeed, though its nothing out of the ordinary when you do a thorough cleaning, it helps if you don't neglect stuff too much, a lesson I learned in the university after cleaning the kitchen left my hands pealing\hurting for a week :/ Btw walsy, just in case you never heard of it, in any homedepo you can get chemical solution that would make your pipes squeaky clean in half an hour..

@Cubiq, your battle scheme is little off, unless you strike down your opponent at step 1. Trying to move away in step 3 will have unpleasant consequences, due to engagement rules.(http://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Combat) Otherwise unless there is some exception to what Josh said above(such as being hacked by a disengagement attack) then the answer is yes. since "movement simply pauses recovery time", then when you stop moving it resumes ...

I'd think it'd be the opposite. With a lot of fear of death removed, it'd be easier to stand up against oppression. I agree, more people will stand for what they believe in, as oppose to slumbering in passive apathy. Though while some might stand against "oppression" others are just as likely to be its instrument. Lets not assume that all deities are inherently good or even care about mundane human issues. The only thing that is certain that the more deities there are the more stark contrast among different societies there will be.

There was something very similar in nwn2, corruption of the mare caused druid to loose their mind and stuck in their wildform, something that you have to investigate as part of druid companion quest line.

Or do to you.. if you are planing to play giddy up, keep in mind that when that horse get excited, he is going to grow a fifth leg.. As for nature, any chance that you just take common things for granted i.e. the allure of the exotic?

Yes they don't use boob plate, nor do they use other ridicules things such as huge codpieces. But certain subtle visual cues are still there as for plate armor: "plate armor worn by female characters always has flared tassets and plate armor worn by male characters emphasizes pauldrons and belly bulge more" Personally, I thought that Josh gave a good answer here, agreeing on the realism aspect, yet noting that realisim isn't their first concern here, and to put things into context providing several examples which are also utterly ridiculous realism wise. Btw you keep says that they can distinguish party members by other means, such as color coding. Personally, i'd like to avoid such wardrobe games as much as possible and iirc many argued against bottom circles, but more importantly this not just about our party, but the whole world we are going to embark into. With a large humanoid majority, color coding ain't going to help you here, on the other hand their solution is natural feature, that would make the genders easily distinguishable/recognizable at glance, thus increase the verity of the models we will encounter during the game by ~two fold.

@Cubiq, yes ,but there is no "attack mode" this how any attack\action work. Swing animation and "cooldown" time until you can swing again. Bottom line heavier armor and bigger more awkward weapons equals slower attack rate. @Tamerlane, ouhh.. thanks, it makes a whole lot of more sense than lol attack

^beautiful, I am jealous. I don't know if its the summer\winter effect, but pastoral green sights is one of the things I miss the most in my current place of residents. Although, I suppose it only says that I am being lazy, since in couple of hours drive we can visit all nature feature from lush forest green to marvelous desert canyon red shades, and activities from all across the board... Anyway, today I was thankful to the people who still use WEP encryption or stupid passwords

This an attempt to play on the one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. The difference is that on one side we had peaceful demonstrators who protested against government corruption etc, wishing to influence policy through popular protest. Which only escalated turning into riot after government heavy handed treatment including the use of thugs and eventually live fire. On the other side we have armed men who from the start decided to force a situation through use of force. The main difference in approach result from media coverage, Russia want to see Ukraine as submissive satellite state like Belarus, with strong bias to everything EU or NATO e.g. the Orange revolution has been used in negative association for years. In this case Euromaiden movement was diminished to the few powerful pictures from the burning square in Kiev in the riot that took place after the violent dispersal, the Euromaiden movement and its goals were substituted with red sector radicals and some prosecution against ethnic Russians. Later the majority vote in Ukrainian house representing all parts of Ukraine (including East Ukraine and votes from president own party) and call for elections and peaceful resolution was played down, instead incitement commenced against "illegitimate" government( reads as: not in line with Russian interest), helped by Russian propaganda style with a complete 100% one sided picture of the situation, aggravated by accusation that has yet to manifest themselves outside of Putin Times, with convenient stories about red sector running in a loop. All of that helps to create the retarded perception that Euromaiden or the riot that took place in Kiev Independence square, is exact the same situation as it is now in East ukraine where there is a complete break of rule of law, with armed men taking control over several major cities, who set up check points, abduct, detain and abuse the rights of citizens, journalist and observers, who has military hardware and blown up helicopters on military bases -- which are played as "innocent civilians" who are being "massacred\murdered" by the military, brought by the Ukrainian "junta" who are "warmongering" and "blood thirsty" even though they have shown outmost restraint e.g. in Crimea they gave orders to go with disarmed weapons to avoid any chance of escalation.. Because Fundamentally in this conflict with Ukraine, it is. With everything I said i.e. Russia nationalization and control of its Mass media, Russia track record according to all available data in all related fields (censorship, freedom of information printed,broadcasted I even recall a note concerning electronic campaigns) and Russian media having a conflict of interest here. While everything you say is as before nothing but your opinion, in which I can swrich place between Russia and EU and throw it back at you, or Russia with Sudan or any state what so ever and claim the same thing.. my argument show facts, your argument tried to attach a plausible interpretation which suits your position. What exactly are you suggesting that they have planned? I know that our opposition start to "plan" how to win the next election the second the previous ones end, but I don't suppose that what you intended to imply nor is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Revolution , right? huh, wrong president? it was a continuation of the orange revolution about corrupted and criminal system of state relations(like in Russia), an economy which was in state of ~stasis for years, and finally broke out when the president decided to suspend the closer European integration, which was seen as a solution to that. You kind remind me those guys who claimed during Egypt initial revolution that it was pro-democracy, as oppose to not having running water in many neighborhoods.

^ pretty much, basically if you are wearing a heavy armor and swinging a Greatswords it going to take you more time to bring it around for each swing then someone who is using daggers and wearing light armor. I am not familiar with dota2 mechanics in this regard, so it it doesn't answer my questions and I am not sure why its lol attack, it seem far better than what we had in IE games, no?

What about race, is there any race that is inherently faster? and can we assume that the Weapons formula is used for any attack including the use of spells and abilities? Interesting, how do you determine the interrupt window?
