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.

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.

But you have to admit, it is a better dramatic title than "So what if the President is Missing, We Have a Perfectly Good Vice-President Right Here".

What do you like? Are there bands and styles you usually dislike? Hmmm, late 90s music not necessarily my strong point. Are we thinking 96-200? Anyhow, I'll leave you with 1997 Portishead: I knew Vengaboys had another hit locally other than We Like to Party, but if you'd asked me to name it at gunpoint I'd have failed. But this was it.

Are you referring to the use of "Shroud"/"Fog of War" to limit sight distance of unexplored areas, or to limit sight distance in explored areas, or something else?

Could it be an issue with the translation into English? Who did the translation from German? Eschbach?

Given that s/he was banning long time users for posting any complaints - even civil ones - I imagine most of us were of the opinion that pointing out the gaffe in the sig would have been a banning offense so we gritted our teeth and ignored it. But it DID bug me.

I think 'who cares' is precisely the reasoning at this point; according to them, people who still tune in (and I think ratings have been down for years) are primarily tuning in for the talent portion, not the swimsuit and evening wear competitions. So they're maximizing the reality show like aspects of the program (personality and talent) and scrapping the rest to try and reinvent the program for a modern audience (and scrapping the Pageant name, its now the Miss America Competition).

I figured if they were going to do it, it'd be a third game where they'd do it in. Anyhow, there is always this:

Lego Movie 2:

I remember back in the BIS days a developer (can't remember who exactly now) talked about the difficulty of creating a computer game and the fact that 'in the wild' there would be a lot more combinations of hardware than could ever be accounted for by QA. Add into that the natural complexity of RPGs and the variable of how a player might handle things in the game... Even with time and money, I agree that odds are PC games will still come out with bugs simply because they can't test every possible available combo that could run the game. This was the appeal of console gaming at the time from the developers point of view - that you could design something for a single piece of hardware that would always be the same. That said, I can also see why people would make the argument that some of the game breaking bugs encountered that seemed to catch large groups of people should have never happened. Its a legitimate position to have.
