I love the way magic is presented in this series, the scene in the tent with the horse was funny and spooky at the same time.
I though it was rather corny compared to how it was portrayed in the book.
In any case, if that kind of magicky stuff works for you, you'll love the rest of the series.

Kinda pointless with one ep to go, and a year's(?) wait after that.

The hexes, one unit per hex, and 2 movement points per unit together are enough to make Civ5 a better game than 4 in my book. Warring was really tedious in 4.

DA:O Ultimate has all the DLC except for promotional items that were available if you bought from specific shops and the like. Most likely Bioware was restricted by the contracts made with said retailers.
When the ME2 ultimate edition, or whatever it ends up being called, comes out, we'll see whether Bioware/EA has changed said contracts.

The Exiled Prince came only with the Signature Edition (aka collector's edition).
The Black Emporium DLC was the free DLC available on release.
You can still buy both separately, of course.

The robotic dog will probably work like the dog in DA2, meaning you summon him and he fights for you as an extra party member.

Except they're trying to have fidelity to the book, and the scene probably took place in a brothel in the book. I think there's one MUCH later in the series where the queen gets it on with one of the other noble ladies after
Yes, exactly, it's not even good as pornography. It's just embarrassing.Clearly the show meant to be racy and full of sexual innuendo, so it can't come as any surprise. I also don't think it counts as pornography, I mean breasts and strategic cropping for the rest, pretty tame compared to say, Rome.
Then perhaps you could... not make the scene take place in a brothel with two hookers getting it on?? It's a stupid scene.Also the scene took place in a brothel with two hookers getting it on. I don't think it's humanly possible to craft it in such a way as to not be lewd and entirely 'male perspective'. I suppose a certain level of that stuff is expected from HBO. Probably doesn't hurt the subscription sales either.the king dies

The lesbian whore training scene wasn't in the books.
EDIT: Neither the sex or Littlefinger's monologue.

If you do not watch the new ep, MrBrown, son of MrBrown, will cut off your manhood and feed it to the goats.

Quiet you. It's a serious question.
If my review suggests (and it did) that we derive much of our identity from those who are near us, and whom we rely on and trust... then presumably it's not a great stretch to suggest that those we love shape us.
Common numbers thrown around in psychology is that a person's adult personality is determined by 50% genes, 40% peer-relationships (starting from childhood), and 10% by parent upbringing. There's no research basis for these exact numbers, but they're used to point out the huge effect of genes, and the much-lower-than-commonly-expected effect of parenting.
Also, in addition to what Blank said, while attachment does begin really early on, humans are very responsive to changes and children will not be extremely traumatized even if their caretaker suddenly changes. I remember doing some course work on this, and reading in some research that poor parent-child attachment only explained 10%-15% of teenage behavioral problems. The general trend seems to be, that while having good early attachment and good parenting is good for the child's development, it's not a huge factors (as compared to poor attachment and not so-good-parenting, NOT compared to completely socially deprived, "locked in the cellar" cases).
(BTW, I'm a psychology major, but developmental psychology is definitely not my main interest.)

"A sense of personal identity" == self-awareness. If this is not what you're asking, you'll have to elaborate.

Both of those scenes were unnecessary, but the lesbian one definitely more so.
I wish they would tone down with all the pointless sex scenes, really.

The new patch is out for PS3. Patch details here: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/302/index/7497637
The other versions are probably similar.
-
They will probably, since they've shown alot of him so far.
They've skipped The Blackfish entirely, for instance.

BTW, Laidlawl said people felt DA2 was easier than DAO. Was that the impression people here got as well? Cause I found DA2 clearly harder, though not significantly so. Maybe it was all the DLC items...
-
What, none of you like Littlefinger?
-
He speaks too much like a politician. He says he understands what people are saying, but doesn't reiterate what it is that these "people" are saying, so it's impossible to know what he is actually agreeing or disagreeing with. He's trying to calm the crowd, without going to specifics.
Oh well. I liked DA2 enough, so I'll be on the lookout for what DLCs they come up with, but Laidlaw's posts don't really impress me.

I'm just leaving this here. May it haunt your dreams.

So who was the guy that fought as champion for the dwarf at the end of episode 5?
Bronn.
From wikipedia:
Bronn is a mercenary of great skill. He has a lean, wolfish appearance, a black sense of humor, and a pragmatic, thoroughly amoral philosophy. Bronn was present in the inn when Lady Catelyn Stark begged all men present to help her arrest Tyrion Lannister for the attempted murder of her son. He helped escort Tyrion to the Eyrie, but championed him during his trial by combat in hope of reward. He won the duel and thereafter passed into Tyrion's service as an enforcer. -
The annoying blonde girly geezer got molten metal poured on his head after the new queen feasted on offal. In other news, the dwarf admitted to whacking off into his sisters' soup.
All in all, yet again, the great stallion has blessed us.
Just wait for ep7. It has a whole 4-minutes blessing.

I hope Charles Dance will perform well as Tywin Lannister. The next two seasons rely much on Tywin to be an imposing figure.
-
Nice ep. No surprise, since it has two of the best scenes from the first book.
Ned finally gets what has been obvious all along.
I hope Sansa has much less air time in the coming seasons. She's annoying, and she was in the books... Arya is surprisingly nice.

Charles Dance and Peter Dinklage not good enough for you?
