So...the answer to a kid whose "family felt that wealth bought privilege and there was no rational link between behavior and consequences" is to...give him no consequences for his behavior?

Hopefully it'll hit later - I imagine they'll want to promote it a bit before launching. That said I have yet to dislike an Obsidian game so I'd probably support a new kickstarter unless it, you know, sounded terrible or something.

Since the developers said they were only developing PE for the computer...well I'd say they did consider it and rejected the idea. That doesn't mean that, if PE is a computer success they won't go back and try to find a way to expand out to other user-bases, but it doesn't seem to me that - based on their statements - they have any interest in doing it right now and with the money from the Kickstarter.

This is the issue I was having. Thanks. I've sent an email cancelling my help request (I hope). How embarrassing the answer was so simple!

Its a good one, IMO, with some effectively creepy moments.

Nice, there can't be a few things more frustrating than a long trip to and from work Particularly when the drive - excluding "traffic" should only take 40 minutes...

No repercussions other than having to live with a fetus in her womb for nine months, deliver the baby and incur any medical costs related to same, plus financially and emotionally support the child for 18+ years compared to the guy having - at minimum - financially supporting the child for 18-21 years. Seems an unusually broad (pun not intended) definition of "no repercussions". Both parties get screwed, in several respects, in this scenario. That said, you'd have a hard time proving intent in a case like this without the "condom buster" more or less admitting to it (or the busted-on-party creepily keeping each used condom 'just in case').

Well after spending the last week commuting to a different place for work I'm back home. No more 1:30 to 2:10 commutes from home to work for now! Yay me.

Ever since Nixon sweated like a stuck pig on national TV in the 1960 debate, I'm pretty sure every President has a team of consultants getting them dressed. IIRC Nixon had a team telling him to wear make-up on TV so he didn't look ghostly and sweaty but he refused to listen to them...so...moral of the story make sure your consultants are good and that you listen to them.

I didn't care and thus didn't vote. Still don't really care. When I pledged money, I pledged money for them to make a "spiritual successor" to PST; beyond that the "how" I'm happy to leave to them.

...that's good You really are funny Amentep. I've only noticed it the last month or so. You are very good at your clever one-liners Thanks. Sometimes I get lucky.

Too many games with "Dragon" in the name - I couldn't figure out what "Dragon Derp" referred to...

Christmas Cannibal Party then? Dare not imagine what kind of toys would be in the Christmas Cracker at that kind of party.

MMMmmm...Moon Landing Conspiracy Theories. Always fun.

IMO the timing is poor with the holidays as well - I think most people will spread their money a bit more cautiously right now. If they retried sometime in February or May and maybe with a revised pitch I'm sure they'd do better.

And I hit the level cap (I played the game a whole lot before Dark Arisen came out and had never restarted) while hunting Death to finally kill and decided, what the hell, I'll start over from scratch. If nothing else it makes my storage area a lot...cleaner.

I'm counting on it. Well he posted elsewhere on Lieutenant General Adrian Carton de Wiart - hard to see him topping that but I'm intrigued to see him try...

His father had an interest in Tecumseh, the Shawnee leader who would have been from the Ohio area that Sherman lived, and had been fairly prominent in the midwest through Tecumseh's war and in 1812 when his confederacy of Native Americans joined the British in the war against the US.

My experience is that doing it gradually just prolongs the problem. Of course everyone is different, but when you're addicted to the caffine or sugar and you're getting a little bit but not enough it just seemed to drag on whereas going cold turkey would be a miserable few days but after that it would veer greatly upward experience wise. At least that's what I had when I tried quitting sodas and eventually did quit.

Its a well made game, at least. I can recognize that. But the frustration factor to me was in the stratosphere. I went back and tried Demon Souls but same thing. I think the game just was designed for a different type of gamer than me - but hopefully you'll like it. Tale - thanks for the information; I thought that'd be the case. Still might be fun to be a low level trainee again (particularly since I understand the classes a lot better).

When you start as a new character, do you lose the character creation extras (eye color, skin color, hair color etc) you've bought previously or the main menu character editor? I've been tempted to start over from scratch but don't really want to lose the character creation options (anyhow not restarting entirely until I've finally taken death out).

I picked up Dark Souls when it came out. Sold it back 4 days later. Sorry, but the game was just not for me. Feel free to de-friend me.

You should have climbed on its neck and whacked it with your sword. I tried to do that. But my guy ran out of stamina while trying to climb to the head. So he'd leap onto the neck, shimmy a bit toward the head, then drop down huffing and puffing. Apparently my character is also morbidly obese. That's strange. I climbed its neck with my mage. I had enough of being only a mage, so I decided to just go berserk on it. I'm now a mystic knight (although I haven't played for several days now). Remember encumbrance increases the use of stamina when climbing. If you want to be an all-climby fighter / warrior type you need to keep your gear & supplies light particularly at lower levels when you have less stamina to spare. IIRC Striders use the least stamina when climbing of the three basic types but fighters have a higher encumbrance rate. Fighters usually need to use the shield bash on flying enemies (encourages them to attack the player). Warriors have an upthrust and a good jumping slash for low level flying enemies (but yeah, Striders and Mages have the upper hand there, but many big monsters will one-hit a low level mage but not a fighter). RE: Pip - the game encourages jumping around, climbing and trying to find ways to get to the seemingly inaccessible.

Maybe try a "floss pick" for it?

Shhh, they can smell your fear. And they find it ...nourishing. Apparently the US network are secretly headed by: ABC - Cthulhu CBS - Azathoth NBC - Yog-Sothoth Fox - Nyarlathotep CW - Shub-Niggurath
