They could axe save imports if they stopped doing cameos entirely. Is there really any reason why Isabella, Merril, and Anders all have to show up in Fereldan, Kirkwall, and Orlais at the precise time that things are going on in these nations? Unless these characters all turn out to be demi-gods that exist everywhen and everywhere, it's a little silly. The world can not possibly be so small that if they feel the need to have an abomination, Dalish Keeper, and sexy pirate, there's no one else. I simply can't comprehend the argument that these characters have to be brought back to decrease complexity. It's like Vivec showing up in Cyrodiil. I think bringing them back increases complexity (because if they didn't bring them back what you did with them in DA2 would be irrelevant). That said, if it fits the story and there's a good reason for it I have no problem with any character returning. Also surprising that people didn't like Anders because he was bisexual and not because he was a murdering ****.

Just remember that freaky freaky little tarsier. Text us (the forum) from the lavatory if it goes badly. No pics though.

My biggest issue with Sega is they don't seem to know how to manage their own IPs (Shining series, Sonic, Phantasy Star); I'm worried that they could be very negative to Atlus' IPs (Megaten & Persona particularly)

"Exploration Skills" has a nice ring to it. Hmm, so, if after an evening romancing Vivienne, a female mage character could wake up and freely explore bits of Orlais on horseback ... repairing ancient bridges and excoriating the trolls beneath them, at will. Sounds good. I totally thought you were going to say you were going to use your "exploration skills" to romance Vivienne when you started off (my eyes picked up "Exploration Skills", "Romance" and "Vivienne" before I read the actual sentence).

Its got skills and skill advancement when you level up and a diablo-esque loot system combined with a side scrolling beat 'em up gameplay. I'm enjoying it pretty well.

I liked NIGHT OF THE COMET...it made me laugh.

I've been sneezing all day, and I have no idea why, either. My whole face has swelled up. I'm putting this in context of a big meteor shower, and I have to say TRIFFIDS! Could be worse, could be NIGHT OF THE COMET, and you'd be a zombie.

I read that as "sexually amphibious" for some reason...

Also maybe femur bones? I had a pathologist friend years ago.

"In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.”

I don't have a camera on my phone. Unless I borrow someone's camera and put it on top of my phone, that is.

IIRC skulls - along with pelvises - are the first places you go to look to see if you've got woman bones or man bones.

I think someone needs a hug. Only if it is isometric and turn based.

This thread almost makes me wish I owned a camera. Almost.

Both of my sea duty tours were on carriers, CVN-65 USS Enterprise and CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln. Thank god I wasn't on one of the small boys (destroyers, cruisers). We used to stand in the hanger bay and watch them get tossed around by the ocean while we barely felt anything. "These are the voyages of the CVN-65 USS Enterprise..." I can't imagine being on one of the big ships (cue up story about getting lost on one of the museum ships because someone forgot to lock a door).

Happy Birthday Malcador. I didn't get my birthday off this year either.

I PMed him and LordChaos since both had asked about him in the BIS thread. Don't have an email, but hopefully they'll get a PM prompt through their email.

RIP Scott. He was always a good poster and level headed guy here. Always appreciated his presence and hoped and prayed for him after he'd revealed his illness. He was already missed, but it'll be harder to deal with now. Thoughts and prayers now with his family and friends.

Working animals are probably not that hard to represent abstractly, probably harder to represent in a way that actually makes a difference in gameplay. Particularly riding animals, as you then pretty much have to address mounted combat.

I love the "work in progress" graphic on the M&M screens.

I imagine that planning for mounted combat takes more planning than throwing in some animations. Particularly when you're talking about mounted party vs party combat. (Or party on horses and cows vs zombie trees wearing cloaks riding aboleths wearing gandalf hats).

I don't disagree. But as Gorgon says, if they want to bump Russia out for this, they really don't have a lot of room to maneuver until next go around. Then if they want to ban Russia like they did SA they can (but I seriously doubt they will, to be honest).

Curious, one of my teachers is from there. You probably know him seeing as the island is 3 feet wide I had a friend in college from there. Last I heard she was in Jamacia though.

Or south into Mexico...
