Pretty sure it doesn't say anything in the Qu'ran about abandoning your infant child to kill your coworkers. This is a very tragic story.

I'm still liking the theory that Batman is Deathstroke.

Obsidian tackling a Vampire game set in Cajun country would be epic.

Warriors are rolling towards 20-0 to start the season. Curry just dropped 28 in the 3rd quarter.

Like every Bethesda game since Daggerfall, I get into it for about 30 hours, then lose interest and struggle to click play. Then a year or two later I get an urge to play and get a bit more done.

An Ultimate edition a few years later is going to be cheaper than the current game, and much cheaper than the current game + all DLC. Not to mention most mods will have been released so installing something like Project Nevada, SkyRe, SPERG, Frostfall or whatever you think will result in a better game for you won't mean having to say goodbye to 30 hours or more of playing. Well then why ask the question?

I totally get the bug argument, or even the 'wait for steam sale' argument. I just think a game with hundreds of hours of content in the base game is not "missing content".

So, 'West' is responsible for colonisation decades ago (even if it was only 3-4 states of today 'West') but muslims dont have any relation to muslim terrorists today? Mind you I dont expect any muslim to apologise, just asking A sovereign nation that did bad things decades or even centuries ago still has a duty to reconcile themselves with those acts, whether that involves actual reparations or simply observing the past with proper chagrin. Members of a religion have a duty to distance themselves clearly from those that commit atrocities in their name. Apologies are not needed, but rather condemnation.

I don't get the DLC argument for not buying the game. It is bloody huge already, there is more than enough content to justify the price.

Check out this exchange I had with Calax five years ago! I've been talking politics with that guy for a LONG time now! http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showtopic=56180&p=1069009 Ah, but the next 5 years will be really interesting, as Calax transitions out of college and into the role of a 30-something working class stiff.

Heh, I went back and read over that First Failed State thread, crazy! I think I've become dumber over the years, my posts were better back then. That is an awesome thread to read because California has recovered very well. It's also a bit sad to see posts from Kelverin and Killian. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/53366-first-failed-state/?hl=%2Bfirst+%2Bfailed+%2Bstate

Ah the life of a government employee.

I don't really count the "give me more caps" persuasion stuff because if I'm playing a good guy, I'm not going to try and milk every last cap out of people. Plus I don't really even need them. I've played for about a dozen hours and there have only been two memorable persuasion checks, one to convince the old lady to stop doing drugs, and the other actually avoided a combat situation. I'm underwhelmed.

Pretty sure it was just an expression, relax.

Bethesda does tend to invest in things that people complain about, so I do think you can expect a better dialogue system in the future. However the general trend of moving away from RPG mechanics is probably not going to change for them. SPECIAL is dead, man.

Stalker I unfortunately will not have much time to play it until later in the week, but I wanted to grab it while it was on sale.

Ah my bad, I was looking at this one from 2008, but I didn't think it was as clear: edit: What the heck is happening in New Mexico?

Realistically, very few states could even handle breaking away from the US. Texas could do it, as could California. But a lot of those red states rely way too heavily on Federal funding.

More of an emu.

Yeah, I have a Brenden Shanahan Alpha Protocol one floating around somewhere. Good times!

Oh yay, another thread where people complain about SJW's. Video games are seriuz bizness!

I tend to blame the legal system that allows malpractice suits to go hog wild for a big part of our health care woes.

I thought Fallout 3 was just one big grey mess of concrete. Fallout 4 still has a lot of repetitive stuff, but at least there is some color.

No. You drive a truck and obey traffic laws. It's more like a flight simulator.

The voters. Right now we get to decide what the scope is on local and state levels, but we have very little say in the Federal level.
