I'm playing through DAI DLC "THE DESCENT" right now. While I agree with SadExchange its weird the loot is all geared towards high end despite being able to get to the area much earlier (I guess they are assuming you've already done the other expansion? I haven't yet), so far I haven't a problem with the DLC (and the schematics have given me some pretty powerful crafted items without worrying about the level on the stuff I'm finding). Combat is a lot harder, even with some solid equipment I'm not blasting through enemies or anything. There does seem to be a few points with enemies that will respawn until you defeat a specific darkspawn, which makes getting mobbed pretty easy and provides a different challenge in combat (but not an unreasonable one; I think it approximates the idea of a darkspawn horde laying around in the deep roads pretty well). I imagine ones enjoyment of it will be based on how much you've liked any of the deep roads stuff in previous games. Thankfully I've played through the game before so the fact I'm probably going to come out of this overpowered isn't really a big issue for me.

Do they have traffic reporters on a Super Star Destroyer?

Yeah I doubt there really is a True Neutral.

But my point is, its not even handed and in several cases its factually wrong so seems weird to call neutral.

I was mostly meaning that for some time (IMO) the Bio boards haven't seemed like they wanted to be a community. So I'm surprised they didn't toast the off-topic forum much, much earlier

I'm not sure why you'd count the "Wired" article as neutral...? As I understand it, there was a woman who helped run Sad Puppies who is ignored in the article so they make the accusation Sad Puppies (which they don't distinguish from Rabid Puppies) is all about white guys fighting women and minorities. But further, this little paragraph is lovely: I won't address the first two points as those with opinions will already think one way or the other about those bits, but I want to address the last line - it is wrong. Thor wasn't replaced by a frog, he was cursed to BE a frog. And people did complain, you only have to go back to the letters pages of the time to see that. They also complained when he was replaced (briefly) by Beta Ray Bill, complained when he was replaced by Thunderstrike, etc. The idea that the complaints now are some sort of "well its because he was replaced by a woman!" is ridiculous, it really is what the writer suggests it isn't - there are certain fans who'll hate any change.

To be honest, I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier. Also - and this is just me - most forums I've experienced that don't have some form of off-topic, even if a heavily limited one, don't exist long.

Yes just to add something, she wasn't a stripper. And you right ...what she did say about her weight was basically how she use to be overweight and clearly this was something she had struggled with Of course she only mentioned that after I said what I said so I had no idea In the long run, its probably better to get it out now than to have you two fall in love and then out of love later on. Or whatever.

It seems an odd thing to bring up with a new acquaintance, I'll agree.

Peeper (1976) dir Peter Hyams, written by W. D. Richter, staring Michael Caine and Natalie Wood The 70s saw a lot of revival of period crime films (Chinatown on the serious side, Murder By Death on the comedy side); this one falls in the middle. Clearly playing with the tropes of the hard-boiled detective, Caine plays a down-on-his-luck gumshoe that gets tumbled upon a case that leads to blackmail, murder, etc. The movie takes the narration of the detective genre and treats it as a stand-up comedy monologue, winking at the audience. But it also takes the detective story seriously (unlike MbD, which mocks it) and has a legit mystery story. Its uneven and certainly has parts that are better than its whole, but not unworth watching.

Not Stephanie Powers' or Tallulah Bankhead's finest hour (and a half). That said, Donald Sutherland has been in worse films. Attractions come in many forms; but I don't think that the woman in questions sprung an immature trap (necessarily) so much as - is true with most people who have struggled with weight - she was trying to find out if her lifelong struggles with her weight would be an issue if they pursued a relationship.

I wondered if they met on an online dating site; its not specified in the article that I could tell.

Any meetup based on online contact is dangerous, you only need to look up the thefts and murders that happen around craigslist deals to know that. Not sure how that related to a widower being murdered by a stripper when neither linked article indicated they met online...?

But to not approve of moral choices people make doesn't have anything to do with it with being your business For example someone who hits his wife isn't really your business but you wouldn't approve right ? This is just about your opinion I never made a statement about morality or physical violence. "Cheating" isn't an area that I think is relevant to anyone concerned but those in relationships with those involved and the legal system (if needed) and any deities that might exist and/or care about that sort of thing.

To me, it kind of isn't my business unless the "cheater" is my significant other AND we haven't agreed to be in an open relationship.

"And in the intervening years, when the old Obsidian fans cast their minds back in time, they might for a moment think of the June 2015 'Journalism and Bias in the Gaming Industry' thread and in doing so remember post #536 and shudder. Then to clear their mind of that traumatic period long ago, they shall stand and perhaps go outside for a walk or pet a kitten or do anything that would restore a sense of normalcy to their poor damaged psyches..."

I suspect Gfted's right. At least for one of the kids (group behavior being what it is, you'd only need one to potentially add that to the "group" thought process, I'd guess).

IIRC didn't the site also claim they would wipe the data they had on users if they requested it, but didn't wipe it?

If you do, I think romancing Solas is worth considering, because of his ties to the story and you get some alternate dialogues through the romance vs the friendship IIRC. I dropped my human mage playthrough and dwarven fighter and started a female elven mage. Might try to romance Sera just to see how much that pisses off Solas though...

I started with a sword and board warrior and put about 12 hours into it and wasn't really enjoying it, however I've since switched to a mage and am at level 14 after 20 hours in and having a bit more fun with the game. I just completed the new Descent DLC which was alright, good for gear, but I find it odd how you're able to do the dlc after level 10, or after skyhold, however all the gear you find within the dlc is geared towards level 18-20 characters. Sure, they're all pretty purples, but you can use them. That was an odd choice, however I'm back to the main story for now and finally am picking my specialization. I decided to hold off on the Witcher for now as they patch it up and expansions come out; and just trying to complete one long RPG on the console at a time lol Yeah Sword and board isn't terribly flashy. But really this is more that I'm a terrible restarter of characters. I still haven't got to either DLC yet.

Will get this eventually I liked Dragonfall and Dead Man's Switch (well except for the final fights in DMS).

You should see my posts *before* I edit them down. Or the fun, ranty ones I type out full of fire and fervor bur never post.

I prefer cats to dogs. But I prefer not having to suffer through the death of a beloved pet more, so I have no pets.

RIP Yvonne Craig - http://www.yvonnecraig.com/news/2015/08/19/a-word-from-yvonne-craigs-family/ Besides being Batman's original Batgirl, she also did a memorable turn on STAR TREK amid many credits in television (Man from UNCLE, Six Million Dollar Man, Love Boat, Wagon Train, Tales of Wales Fargo, Wild Wild West)

I've been playing DAI, but I'm getting the itch to restart the game with a different character.
