This good fellow talks sense. He's also is a moderator telling everyone to knock off the attempts to psychoanalyze each others posts. You want to make an argument, make it about the issues and arguments of another poster not the poster themselves, the poster's reasons for posting, the poster's childhood trauma that clearly motivates them to post, etc.

Some 1st person games give me motion sickness as well. Sometimes I can improve this by slowing turn speeds and stuff down in options. But I tried to play one of the Far Crys and after about 10 minutes of driving I had to go lie down i felt so nauseous.

New Fire Emblem.

I admit one of the things that dismayed me about PoE1 was having played through with a character to completion right after the game launched and then coming back to play both expansions after they were released and patched to find how different the character I'd created felt. Partially this is due to the fact that I restart a lot while trying to find a character I like; to pick up the game months down the line and have the character be changed because of various balance fixes was frustrating and indeed triggered me to restart the game multiple times again. I still haven't completed the White March material, as a result (and consequently, I probably won't play Deadfire until everything has been released for it).

I dunno, I like a bunch of different types of game styles. I'm not unwilling to try anything except MMO anything.

Imo, yes. If you are selling any consumable item to the public, they you need a license and permit, full stop. Blanket policies exist precisely because everyone feels that they should be exempt wrt whatever they're individually doing. "Let the people figure out on their own that the meat is rancid!" I don't believe that you believe that. I kind of get Guard Dog's point - although I also get the public health point too. For example, lets say you know a great home-baker, keeps a clean house and kitchen and bakes everything very well. You buy all the ingredients for your favorite cake at a store, given them to the home-baker and they bake you a cake, which you pick up from their house. The guberment won't step in. But if you go into the house of the home-baker and they offer to sell you your favorite cake that they've baked, the guberment now says the home-baker must have a license to sell that piece of cake to the public, they can't cook it in their own kitchen because their home kitchen as it is doesn't meet the specifications for restaurant kitchens in the legal code, etc. But, to Guard Dog's point, the difference isn't in the baking, or in the cake, the difference is that money is changing hands between you and a private party and the government wants a part of that exchange or, arguably, restaurant and grocery stores don't want competition that doesn't have the same overhead that they do to operate so force the government to intervene by claiming unfair competition from an improperly licensed competitor.

I enjoyed all three, but the weak spot was the second one, IMO. It has its moments, but I think the story was half-baked.

The film Dragonslayer is thirty-seven years old. I think its well over the limit to be worried about spoiling it for other people (pretty much any old film one could watch you'll have a chance to spoil it if you want to by looking it up online).

That video is hilarious.

Why do you drive on a parkway?

I dunno, I think there's a scale of relationship between reality and a fantasy setting. Certainly discussing the physics of a Minoletta's Minor Missiles is a fruitless mental endeavor (even though it could be fun) as it assumes the laws of physics apply to something that defies the laws of physics by its nature. That said, if there wasn't a lore related reason (Soul Power!) to explain why a a fighter-type class exploded in magical fire, or why D&D style Rogues could get a skill to read spell scrolls I get having an issue. But I think the lore reason in PoE pretty much explains the supernatural nature of the class abilities, IMO.

What I meant was did Maia have any conversation available after you lock yourself in on the huana route? Because I read that she will only have a "Maia is angry and wouldn't talk to you" line over her head after that. As far as I know Maia would be alright with you rejecting Hazanui's offer, because, uhhh, I'll hide it just in case since it's a bit spoilery. Did she talk to you at all on the huana route? Yes she flirted, I turned her down, we did her quests and had several conversations on the boat. I just never brought her along in party other then her quest. Man, that's the best time for romance. What kind of an adventurer are you? A reminder on this thread - discuss people's points not themselves. If you can't refute someone's argument without trying to psychoanalyze them (including trying to determine "why" they're "really" posting the way they post), then you are doing something wrong.

Please post bugs in the technical support forum, there's no guarantee posting it here will get it reported.

I believe the in-cannon explanations for all powers, martial or magical, is that its driven by the power of your soul since all things are driven by how strong your soul is in the game.

My understanding is that the health hazard is when you have (for example) asbestos insulation around a pipe and the insulation cover splits allowing particles to become airborne. Most of the professional remodeling I've seen has been based on the assumption that buildings have asbestos until you're sure they don't. We had a remodel at work that found tile in one of the spaces (part of an older layout where that part of a room had actually been part of an adjoining bathroom). Since tile of that age probably has asbestos, they went into full asbestos remediation to safely remove the tile. I gather that Gfted1's point is that if you're remodeling your house you should be responsible for hiring a company to check your house for asbestos before you start blythly knocking down walls and such (companies like that exist) and if they find it you'll need to hire a company that specializes in removing it before/as you remodel rather than have the EPA keeping a list of spaces with asbestos and forcing you to remediate the asbestos in their house. On an unrelated note, I keep typing "asbestoes".

I think as Silvaren says, this is lifted directly from what Baldur's Gate did. You can see it action in this BG Let's Play (easiest to see by skipping to 7:42 and watching as NPCs move in/out of the sight radius while the party crosses the lobby of the Friendly Arm Inn. EDIT: Not to say that this is the way it has to be or that a toggle couldn't be created or something - provided there's not a systemic reason to do it this way.

According to AVERT, the global new infection rates are down by 16% for the last available data period (2010-2016). The only increasing region being Eastern Europe and Central Asia. https://www.avert.org/global-hiv-and-aids-statistics

"You could retire early if you invested in comic books" In a way... this is true. Just got to invest in Marvel baby! Anyone with sense knew retiring off of X-Men #1(1992) wasn't something that was going to really happen. There's a reason why the comics from the 30s-50s (the "Golden Age") were so valuable - they were disposable entertainment that survived war time recycling drives AND the 50s "Comics are going to rot our children's brain and make them murder us all, horribly" scare. They're scarce despite having print runs larger than any of the 1990s speculator comics. It was a bubble that had to (and did) burst. The big speculator market in the 90s were really newcomers who didn't understand the market or what made things valuable in the long term (but lots of short term money was made in flipping books, which still happens today in the market).

I've heard of people losing cards, but not gold. Perhaps another user has heard of the issue. In addition to this post you will want to send in a report/request to Obsidian by: Going here: https://support.obsi...our-older-games and then scrolling to the bottom and clicking "Contact Us".

RE: Early Access I believe the stated reason was the same as for PoE1, they didn't want the story to be spoiled. Since the interactive narrative is a big part of the experience for the game, the beta mostly concentrated on fine tuning mechanics.
