And BOO is so much better than POO...ARR, The Archipelagos Ravaging RaidersYARR, Your Archipelagos Ravaging Raiders YAHARR, Your Artistic & Happy Archipelago Ravaging Raider Edit: Not good ones... just, would be funny with something like "Yaharro!" (O being "Order") The Yaharro! = The Young and Honorable Aquatic Rapscallion Raider Order Okay it was a stretch... Random musing - Order of Obsidian Freebooters (OOF!) The Obsidian Order of Notorious Privateers, not Pirates (TOONPNP) The Order of Obsidian Sea Hawks (TOOSH) Corsairs of the Obsidian Seas (COS) The Obsidian Buccaneers for Naval Order (TOBNO) (sounds like a weirdo temperance group)

I think it depends on the how many inquiries they get, given the small team working on Pathfinder. And it seems like we just hit a large amount of people purchasing things and not receiving them post this last update, so they may have gotten a number.

It was just an example of the Federal government overriding the will of the voters who actually PAY for the schools whose districts they live in. Allowing the governed to have a say in their governance is a radical concept I know. But I don't want this to turn into a discussion on the merits of ID. It was just an example. Looking at YOU aluminiumtrioxid! But you are right about your other point. Somehow all our threads end up being derailed into the pros and cons of socialism. It does get tiring. While I understand your point regarding the Federal government, it was pretty messed up (IMO) to have the content of education be up for a popular vote in the first place.

I'd email support rather than wait for a developer here. They usually will want USER ID (username####) and to forward a copy of the receipt. Also, note that their office hours are Monday - Friday, 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM PST when looking for a response.

It sounds potentially like a move in the right direction. Execution being key. I've said before that for a romance narrative to work, you can't have the romance subsume the character of the NPC (ie the romance shouldn't happen just because the PC wills it). There should be a lot of variables in it, the end goal shouldn't end up at the same place and most importantly the character should remain interesting and responsive to the story if not romanced. Curious now to see what Bioware has done.

IIRC the rationale for all guns being two handed was due to reloading; you'd need two hands to reload the style of pistol quickly and without having to put one gun "down".

If it applies to PCs what happens when you have a custom portrait? Can you import a custom watercolor or do you get a blank head or...?

In a way yes, but with line drawings as I was thinking of it as a way to make a lot of portraits fast for NPCs who maybe don't need to stand out as much, not for PCs...

Since the angle on the faces slightly differ in what they show on Fig, I'm imagining they're individually drawn...but I wonder if they could use the strategy of having say 5-6 face types, 5-6 eyes, 5-6 noses, 5-6 mouths and 5-6 hairstyles, 5-6 "others" and just mix and match, color and cleanup/touchup and have a fast system for a lot of NPCS, then use the individual drawn ones for specific important NPCS...

I worked for a strictly open enrollment institution, now I work at a mixed tier one depending on which college you're applying for admissions to. Even the pickiest of the pickiest in the state system though have developmental students (typically offered a special admissions at those elite schools due to some non-academic talent - musician, singer, athlete, artist, etc.). I'm not aware of our system using guaranteed % for state HS grads like you've described California's using. I'll also add that the general cycle here for the past decade is someone points out the number of students going to remediation -> HS points out pressure from state and national to meet set graduation rates and national score goals and how that means they spend more time preparing students for the tests (SAT/ACT/End of Year) than college -> legislature puts more laws to increase reliance on national test scores to prove HS are teaching to college standard and graduation rates to increase

"First, we would like to create unique portraits for every quest-giving NPC across the entire game." Reads to me as it wouldn't be joinable companions or the PC, but a way to identify Joan Questgiver from Jane Questgiver across the street. But I could be wrong, of course.

When I worked specifically with remediation at a college that had open admissions, ~60% of the incoming class were remedial and had been for at least 20-30 years. However all that time spent working with remedial students (and indeed being a part of organizations tied to remediation) taught me that this isn't a new problem. The part that's new(ish) is that the colleges themselves are being forced to handle the remediation (to some degree) rather than requiring the student complete a prep school after graduation from HS but before matriculation into the college which was more the norm back in the 1700s-1800s.

Bushel is 2150.42 cu in. in the US. I'm thinking they mean identity (a=a) symmetry (if a=b then b=a) and transitive (if a=b and b=c, then a=c) rather than the associative, distributive and commutative properties, which IIRC are more specifically tied to operations in algebra. 1 Acre is 160 square rod.

Wetton was a founding member of ASIA and U.K., IIRC. RIP

Geoff Nicholls, keyboardist for Black Sabbath from 1979 to 2004 - http://www.artistdirect.com/entertainment-news/article/geoff-nicholls-black-sabbath-keyboardist-dead-at-68/11867262 Not sure if these really count as 'celebrity' deaths, but... Comic Artist Dan Spiegle; I mostly knew him from various Gold Key titles (including the first Doctor Spektor with Don Glut), his work in Blackhawks and the Eclipse comic Crossfire with Mark Evanier http://www.newsfromme.com/2017/01/30/dan-spiegle-r-p/ Namco founder Masaya Nakamura; originally the business was Nakamura Manufacturing before changing their name to Namco. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/30/business/pac-man-masaya-nakamura-dead.html

Typically with crowdfunding, information about where to ship stuff isn't collected until after the campaign ends

Yeah, I'd *think* it does, but they don't specifically say and I wouldn't want to assume.

On the forum/blog updates, they've said there's 10 people on Pathfinder Adventures.

Since I realized the poster stated PHYSICAL copy, IIRC the physical copy of the first game was DRM free (didn't require any activation) but I can't find the thread where people talked about that. I'm not sure that I've seen any specifics on a physical copy of this game - is there definitely one in the boxed sets?

Well they are releasing through GoG if that meets your criteria of DRM free.

I think for Romance to work in the large scheme of things, this has to be a possibility. Romance is a part of character, if two NPC's characters make sense to have a relationship, I see no problem with having that happen as part of making the NPCs reactive to their 'game lives', if you will.

How is this "back to the topic" when the topic never was about party size in the first place? Hm... Because in the bit you snipped, he said that the three returning characters limits the characters who might have to background-info dump to the player. The previous characters are "known"1 1Excepting that it wouldn't be new player friendly to not have those characters info dump on your past. I haven't played Tyranny (couldn't get it to run last time I tried) but the lore hyperlinks - at least for stuff your character should know or has learned about in-game (but the player may have forgotten) - sounds promising to move towards a more naturalistic companion relationship.

The reputation of Exorcist II: The Heretic is part of why I never proceeded with watching the rest. Boorman has made some genuinely great films (IMO), but its my understanding that Excorsist II was made under the conditions ripe for bad film making - the script was still being re-written while they filmed.

More people should see The Ninth Configuration. In fact I should re-watch it again myself, its been a few years. Weirdly as much as I liked the original THE EXORCIST, I've never seen any of the sequels, including Blatty's 3rd.

Certainly, though, this is a product of the character being written as well as narrative needs? A companion who sees their best days behind them will always contextualize the events of the present into their view of their past achievements, while a companion who is looking to make a better future will always contextualize the events of the present with their hope for enacting change in the future. The former may materialize in telling stories of past exploits, the other in praising or criticizing the PC for how their choices align with the NPC's goal. And either may need to give some setting or history information about a town, a faction, an event because the developers can't rely on having the player stumble across it in a book so they can make an informed decision as a simple narrative function.
