I imagine if you could get into the humour of The Bards Tale 2004 it'd be fun, but it just didn't work for me. I still beat it - it wasn't a poorly made game. Just not for me, ultimately.

Hunted: The Demon's Forge is why I backed Wasteland 2 on kickstarter. The only other game I'd played by InXile at that point was 2004's The Bard's Tale, which I didn't like.

Its probably tied to the presentation of the press as the fourth estate that can act as a balance between the other three estates (in the US, the three estates aren't exactly as described by Burke and Carlyle, but has represented the three branches of government). My thought is that the legal system is the oversight for the US press, as they could be sued in various circumstances if they aren't legitimate in their reporting. Also the press doesn't always prevent disinformation from "the government" since there is historical evidence of the press spreading governmental propaganda in times of war or omitting things on behalf of the government (like the US press never reporting on or showing FDR's wheelchair).

RIP Mr. Lee.

Newsflash: The purpose of playing Crpg's are for story, gameplay/combat was always horrid from realtime with pause systems. You were afterthe wrong thing. You do know that Tides of Numenera's combat system is turn based, right? Don't confuse the issue with facts.

support@obsidian.net You can also go to https://support.obsidian.net/article/12-looking-for-help-on-our-older-games and click the "Contact Us" link for a pop-up web form to send an inquiry. Since the devs aren't as active here, this might get your issue to the eyes of someone at Obsidian faster because there are people who read and forward support inquiries to appropriate areas in Obsidian as I understand it.

Mods are still here, but we're not employees of Obsidian so can't really help with game issues. Did you send your issue through the Obsidian support email as well as here?

What I meant was, PoE1 had a big hook, "Hey everyone a spiritual successor to a beloved game!". People flocked to the new game. Then they received it...and using myself as an example, maybe felt that the only resemblance to the BG series was the isometric view or some other minor similarity? I have a hard time believing that the developers changed the mechanics in PoE2 for the lulz, so imo, PoE2 shifted because of what the data showed about how players were engaging the game. To be completely honest while I liked PoE1 okay, I was rather annoyed that after beating the game and coming back to do the White Marches months later when all the content had been finished that it was like playing a complete different system due to all the updates that were made. It was such that I felt the character I'd built previously and beat the game with didn't seem to 'work' any longer. I've still not finished the White March 1 & 2. Maybe its not there, but I really felt like my character was useless despite using a near the end of game save to try and go to the White March with. Most of the changes announced for PoE2 I wasn't crazy about. I backed it because I like Obsidian, but personally I didn't want dual classing, I didn't want less party members, etc. I haven't played PoE2 yet simply because my PoE1 experience makes me think I'm better off waiting for it to be finished. So I hope I'll like it. But it didn't really go in a direction I was personally exited about.

So if Im reading this correctly, an environmental "study" was concluded 2 years ago and determined the XL pipeline risk to be negligible. Now some random judge decided that the 2017 analysis wasn't enough and requires further "reasoned explanation". Why do "prior facts" supercede new findings? Well he cites prior court precedent on similar policy change according to the article. Not being a lawyer, or familiar with the precedent I don't know what it is, but if it does exist then there's something - theoretically - that is being looked for that isn't showing up in the government's documentation. Or he's being an activist and subsequent legal action will reverse his decision.

As I understand it, his decision wasn't on the "feels" but I could be wrong. I took it that the issue was that the Obama administration denied the pipeline addressing specific concerns while Trump administration granting permission didn't address those concerns since the concerns had become part of the governmental record. So the block is, theoretically, temporary as I understand it until the Trump administration demonstrates why the concerns of the government a few years ago aren't concerns of the government now (the fact that the administration changed isn't relevant, this is why - theoretically - our laws don't flip-flop around like a fish out of water in the bottom of the boat every time someone else gets into the hot seat). As I said, I could be wrong, just when I first heard the news story I didn't see judge activism. That said I'm not a lawyer, so if one comes around and says it is judge activism, go with them.

In the end it'll be appealed, and eventually either it'll be let through or shot down, hopefully based on the law. I'm not sure why allowing the process to work is a bad thing, this is the way the system is supposed to work.

Some other fair points to me - Pillars 1 had the advantage of being the biggest funded game (at that point) so got a lot of press from that, so perhaps a lot of people curious about the hype checked it out that otherwise wouldn't have checked out the style of game it was. Pillars 1 also went through a lot of changes between launch and final game, so non-kickstarter types may be waiting for all of the work to be done on it based on previous experience. People may not have liked the fact that they discarded all of the systems from Pillars1 for Pillars2, in addition to changing the setting.

Time does indeed fly...

....and that fact made me feel old (can't imagine what it did for you Gfted1)...

You gotta love the polarity in campaign ads. I find it all hilarious. I like it when the ads play back to back.

Vaudeville isn't dead, its merely resting...

Maybe its that I'd never go to something on the off chance that a not-yet-identified something might be good? Maybe its because if I'm going to a concert, it'd be for an act or acts that was known to be there, not for some secret act that was unannounced? In that case, it'd be irrelevant if TayTay showed up. Maybe Taylor Swift wanted to do some Metallica covers and it might be weird but good? I dunno, I can always walk out and I wouldn't feel cheated because I was there for something I knew about - no expectations, reasonable or otherwise to be dashed by the surprise mystery guest. And I certainly wouldn't pay money to go to Blizzcon for something that, regardless of how good or bad it was, I'd be able to find out about a couple of hours after the reveal is made (if that) by checking the internet.

i don't really get the fervor over Diablo: Immortal personally. It seems to me it went something like this: Blizz teases something new in the Diablo world PC Diablo fans assume that its something new for PC because it just HAS to be for PC because reasons Blizz reveals mobile game PC Diablo fans upset because their pulled-out-of-their-ass assumption that the new thing was a PC game didn't pan out PC Diablo fans angrily spew over the internet. I get it, the internet is pretty much for knee-jerk reaction hate these days, and maybe I missed some teasing from Blizz that would have made me think it was a PC game, but nothing I'd seen as of now made me think it was a PC game. So it seems like the usual nerd rage on not getting exactly what you wanted whether that was a reasonable expectation or not. I'll probably never play Diablo: Immortal, so frankly its existence is irrelevant to my life.

You can't divide by zero, so its a nonsensical statement. New thread - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/106670-more-funny-than-ever-funny-stuff-topic/

Its not just been reported by CNN, but by Fox, National Review, Washington Examiner, etc. as well. And electronic documents on the filing are in some of the news reports, like the Fox news web report. People file legal claims all the time, even spurious ones with no basis, or with the intent of drawing attention to a cause. I believe one of the law firms is a human rights focused law firm, all the lawyers would need would need though is to find individuals in the group willing to be the plaintiffs in the suit, and make it class action so others can be added to it. So I'm a little confused here as how the media has undermined its own credibility by reporting on what appears to be a true news story...?

Okay, I'll see what I can do to get it to someone at Obsidian's attention.

Just to make sure I have the facts, you sent an email to support@obsidan.net or the contact page at https://support.obsidian.net/contact for this issue and haven't heard back? Is the 9 days inclusive of weekends? EDIT: Alternatively if you could tell me the day it was sent so when I forward the issue on to higher authorities they'll have an idea where/when to look.
