Yeah, to be fair, Anders was whiny in DA:A, just a slightly different kind of whiny. I didn't really feel the possession didn't explain thing - we don't know how different it made Anders in the ensuing months. So I just took it on face value. Still hated the guy in DA2 though.

That brings back some nostalgic memories for me. When I first played F:NV on the main quest I was down on ammunition and hunted by Deathclaws and trying to escape through the desert...desperate to find this haven called " New Vegas". I remember going over a hill, it was night, and there was the town in all its shimmering glory. I have never been so happy to see a friendly location in any game Weirdly the screenshot made me nostalgic too... ...to play RAMPAGE and destroy giant box buildings. I finished my second Stick of Truth playthrough so started up the Lego Movie game...

If you're talking about the original date on the Kickstarter, Obsidian has said repeatedly that the date on the kickstarter was a guess based on what they thought they'd originally be doing. By adding all the stretch goals they knew - and communicated here - that they'd not meet that date. I don't know where you're getting that they've ran out of money, that's never been discussed in anything I've read. -

Makeover Wig (wig slot), Makeover makeup (makeup slot), Makeover outfit (armor slot), Makeover accessory (gloves slot). The makeover accessories are all shoes, IIRC, and I think the shoes shown in the pic aren't the perfect match to that outfit (not 100% on that but that's the outfit I used and IIRC the shoes were pink but I think you can get out of the makeover without a perfect match too) so I'd check to make sure you have the makeover accessory on. -
Sneaky Squeaker Crash (PS3)

I'm playing on a PS3 but haven't experienced the bug personally. -
I can't really help you; I did it fast and just continued spinning the L stick until that part of the sequence finishes but I have the uncensored version - I hope this isn't a problem created by the censoring!

I had the Mage Dragon Breath maxed out with extra fire damage equipment plus the patches to heal every hit add PP every heal and add PP on fire damage, I never used a PP potion, usually would kill most average enemies in one-two rounds (dragon breath hits entire rows if you target the middle of the row) and those who weren't killed in one-two rounds usually died in their third round from the burning damage. I actually had to be careful on the final boss fight because I kept killing the character before triggering the cut scene and had to start over. I suspect there might be a similar method on all of the characters (my initial Thief character did a lot of damage backstabbing and IIRC there's a pp restore on bleeding damage, but there's a lot less hits in backstab so it's certainly not in the same power range).

Yeah questlines for the pirates and federation struck me as a natural in context of the game (never watched the show, so can't really apply any suggestions from there).
-
I played it on the PS3 and I used both hands on the four buttons; I found I was too slow to use one hand to hit all the buttons. Also, I found on the second time through you could miss some and still get accepted so perfection isn't required (I missed at least one).

Noticed on the internet, people have been saying this is just a rip off of the French TV series Les Revenants (The Returned). So I decided to download this series and.. WOW, now I know why people are saying this is a rip off. The French version is a great show btw. Technically, Resurrection is based on a book series The Returned by Jason Mott and not Les Revenants (the film or tv show) nor on the comic book Revival. My understanding is that the production company had the idea and has looked into licensing both the French show and the comic before settling on adapting the novel (but I may be misremembering).

Why the hell would you watch a college girl detective TV show. Must be awesome indeed. She was in HS to start with, only in college in season 3. I like mystery movies and TV shows. I'm currently watching THE CRIME DOCTOR series from Columbia, for example, and its a pretty good 40s era mystery series (not as funny as say, Torchy Blaine, The Falcoln or Ms. Withers or Michael Shayne, but still well done). Combine that with a show that has some really, really good lines and an appealing cast and yeah, I really liked the TV series. the movie is good too.

Awww, shucks - thanks Monte! *slips a fiver*

Every time you fold a piece of paper over its thickness doubles, so we're dealing with an exponential here. You would be doubling the thickness 42 times, so if you start with a thickness of 1 then it would go 1 > 2 > 4 > 8 > 16 > 32 > 64 > 128... You do that 42 times and you wind up with a ridiculously huge number. I'm not great with exponents, so I could be off here, but I think it would wind up being X 2 to the 41st power Standard weight paper is .1mm, .1 mm x (2^42) = 439,804,651,110.4 mm = 439,804,651 m = 439,804 km Distance to the moon is 405,696 km

Surely if it was Monty's MMO the Tank would be Fighting In Tunnels?

Favorite joke? (spoilers!)
Amentep replied to Tigrin's topic in South Park: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
This cracked me up. I laughed for sometime as they stand around pondering. Then I walked out the fire escape, just to see what would happen if you tried to leave, got a nuclear explosion and a credits roll. I also liked a lot of the girls dialogues against various other girls. "I can teach you how to eat souls" (or something like that from the littlest goth kid). -
I know Brandon's answered already. To my mind at least, it makes sense that putting out information about their contract with a third party wouldn't be wise (since it might create problems for both entities down the line in contract negotiations, I'd think). I wouldn't even be surprised if a NDA was part of the contract. I'd also point out that while asking for transparency is well and good, we've never gotten (and I imagine never will) get a break-down of how the money is being spent. And I for one can't imagine that any of us backers were really expecting monthly spreadsheets detailing every expense - $10 pens $10 paper $400000 business lunches $10 staples $10 paper clips $10 Brandon Adler's salary etc. I can't imagine that Feargus would negotiate a deal that wouldn't be long run agreeable (since they had their choice of pick in who they worked with, they had more leverage I'd think than if they were pitching an unfunded idea to a publisher).

In Canada in SP:tSoT. What a weird place.

Platform games kind of lost their appeal to me when we moved to 3D games and shooter has always been a hardsell for me just as I'm not inclined to be good at them.

Take off that pink glasses. No, take off the hat. Why not wear both? Dyed to match the glasse, it'd be quite the fashion combo.

Noooooooooooooooooooo! If Obsidian staff doesn't pack each backer item by hand, how will we have a black market trading in developer fingerprints? "I'll trade you two Urquharts for an Avellone" "You're not getting my Sawyer for anything less than a Cain" and the inevitable "I got Green Shirt Girl's fingerprints " Seriously though, it sounds like from the interview at RPS* this takes some of the burden off of the fulfillment off of Obsidian and sets up how the game gets sold (both in marketing and in actually selling senses) to those who aren't backers. And Obsidian still has final say on how the game will be. *Did RPS use speech recognition software on their interview? "We have a lot to game [gain] from this game being good" and "I would love to say that I could say [sell] ice to the Eskimos" - Yikes!

More than likely such an clause in the EULA is a way to reserve the right to go after Mods they don't like (say if someone did a sex, slavery or torture mod for one of their games and they felt it'd reflect badly on them), more than a way for them to stop mods at all.

I'm already considered a promancer, I think. I've expressed that I think romance is a part of the human experience that I think RPGs can contain and add to the development of character relationships. My big difference with other promancers is that I don't think a romance relationship is necessary (or even desirable) in every game. But certainly done in the right way, established in a game with the proper context I think it can be a valid (and interesting) PC-NPC character relationship (like friendship, siblings, parent-child, enemy or rival).

My recollections may be faulty Shattered Steel: 0 MDK 2: 0 Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood: 0 Baldur's Gate: 2 (cheated the end both times) Tales of the Sword Coast: 2 Baldur's Gate 2: 4 (Wild Mage, Druid, Barbarian..and...halfling thief) Throne of Bhaal: 1 Neverwinter Nights: 2 (once with vanilla, once with a character I took through all the expansions and original game) Shadows of Undrentide: 1 Hordes of the Underdark: 1 Knights of the Old Republic: 4 (possibly more) The Old Republic: 0 Jade Empire: 9 (one for each body type, plus two more at least) Mass Effect: 7 (4 main characters, main-main character played through at least three times) Mass Effect 2: 2 (beat twice with two of my main imported characters) Mass Effect 3: 1 Mass Effect Galaxy: 0 Dragon Age Origins: 7 (1 for each origin, did the noble twice (once male, once female) Dragon Age 2: 4 (Hawke with each class, one replay where I didn't take Bethany to the underdark (which I did for my first game).

Playing Stick of Truth. Never really watched South Park (although familiar with the show enough to recognize certain things), but am enjoying the game (even if some of it is laughing out loud while feeling vaguely guilty that I'm laughing )

Since the replay value of any game is in the eye of the beholder, wouldn't these comparisons actually be worthless other than as personal testimony of preference? I certainly played DAO and DA2 more than I ever did NWN or NWN2 (although in NWN2's defence, my old computer struggled with playing it until it died). I played DAO more than DA2 simply because one is primed towards more replayability (DAO 6 origins vs DA2's 3 classes)
