  2. I think there is some logical stretching by fans to "justify" bugs by pointing out publisher issues. But again I say this as someone who hasn't experienced Obs games being worse than others with bugs.
  3. The last I read was that we'd be getting a Southern Belle voice and a French accent.
  4. Have you forced vertical sync off in the .ini file? That apparently causes all sorts of weirdness. Sadly I'm playing it on a console. Otherwise I'd have modded the **** out of it for a better experience like I did Oblivion and Morrowind. No, it's just plain and simply bad writing and it doesnt limit itself to the main story. Every time I have gotten a new quest, there has been a good chance the dialog was so half-assed that questions like "why?" and "what the hell just happened?" have been emerging to my mind rather strongly after I've got the quest. You know when I wrote that I hadn't really given it a thought, but there was a bit in Dawnguard where Serena was telling me something important and the only response I could choose was "Just get on with it" which seemed a bit weird as an only response. So I can see where you're thinking about it being half-assed in someways since it actually didn't make sense in context (at least they didn't give me two choices where both went to the same response). Some of the quests do seem rather...random. But I do think part of that is the nature of the game and the radiant AI making spot quests very basic.
  5. To be honest, I've never found Obsidian's games to be more (or less) buggy than other game company's output. And pretty much every Gamebryo game I've played have had game ending bugs. But Bio's games have had some bugs (usually graphical glitches, but some others as well).
  6. BTW if you pledged through Kickstarter, you can log in and check to see what tier you backed at. For those who can't remember.
  7. In games that use VO for every line of dialogue, paying the voice actor/actress to say a bunch of naturalistic lines leading up to the real wind-up and pitch is probably not cost effective. PE doesn't have that concern, so it'll be interesting to see how it does its character/non-joinable NPCs banter. (Even still the IE games had similar problems).
  8. Is there anything at all which would be safe with a ravenous wolf inside it? A satiated tiger? I can see it now. Me: "Ah, a friendly satiated tiger. I will rest against it's warm fuzzy belly." Tiger: "Oh god, the pain!" *wolf emerges and eats me* One would hope the tiger didn't swallow the ravenous wolf hole, I think. Are you sure your tiger didn't have a facehugging xenomorph on it?

  10. but like I say moving very 300 miles away very soon. Do not worry, the internet is not a fixed geographic phenomenon. And they should allow you to change your address in the fulfillment site should you put it in before you move or move multiple times after your move but before the game comes out.
  11. How about - "Backers who backed after the Kickstarter Ended but before pre-orders began"? We can call them BWBATKEBBPOB for short.
  12. So have I! Weirdly I've had more problems this time around, including a flying mammoth. I've had a lot of freezes and a game ending bug in Dawnguard (doors wouldn't open). That said, i think the problem with the writing is actually a problem with the narrative as a whole which I think stems entirely from the "you can do everything". The story, therefore, has to be created to not have any real urgency so the player isn't pushed to not do this over that as part of the philosophy of the gameplay. Sometimes. But it never looks as bad as Morrowind did (I couldn't play that game without graphics mods to improve/replace everything).
  13. The verdict of not guilty can be overturned in the case of jury tampering. Otherwise the system has always been to let the guilty to go free rather than let the innocent go to jail (in theory).
  14. Okay I'm not sure how to take this. Was there a "previous member of the porn industry" requirement before posting here that I didn't know about or do Avelone, Urquhart, Sawyer, et al have a much more varied career than I first thought looking at their public CVs? Do you mean emotional bondings intended by the game (ie narrative bonds intended by the story) or player bonds with their PC or other NPCs because of things that draws them to an interest in PC/NPC that may be as much investment by the player as investment by the creators?
  15. My understanding - and I'm not a lawyer (nor do I play one on TV) - of Florida's law was that it would have been near impossible to convict him of murder under the law. 2nd degree murder requires 2 things in Florida (from what I've read) proof of a depraved mind and action that wasn't premeditated. I don't think they could ever have proven the "depraved mind" - ie that Zimmerman knew his actions would lead to murder. There's three manslaughter charges in Florida, the second is about getting someone else to commit an act that leads to death so its out so doesn't apply; the first requires the death to result in the course of action considered to be unjustified and unexcusable (hard to prove, IMO, as Zimmerman's actions were as a result of him being a neighborhood watch captain). The third involves murder as a result of “culpably negligent” conduct, which might have been provable since Zimmerman had been told to not follow Martin by the police dispatcher so it might be possible to prove his negligent actions escalated a situation such that an unlawful killing took place.
  16. I enjoyed PACIFIC RIM. It was fun. The battles were good. If I had to quibble I'd say that the story is structured wrong, starting at even one (the opening Gipsy Danger fight) and not where the story starts (with the pilots getting back together after the program is cancelled) thus not allowing the movie to explain the nuances of a lot of the character relationships. Still a lot of fun though. Later I saw RISE OF THE GUARDIANS which I thought, overall, was a lot of fun. Better than I thought it'd have been when it was first released but seeing positive reviews made me finally try it out.
  17. Weirdly, I think this suggestion actually points out one of the issues people have with romance as an option. At some level there's a tipping point between an interesting PC-NPC relationship and a family simulator. The former could still be a fantasy adventure game, the latter not so much.
  18. I made some sprites back on a Commodore 64 back in the day for a game me and my brother were going to make that involved ninjas. Good luck with your project!
  19. Busty elven women in chain-mail bikinis? An wats "WRONG" with that ? Being sexal id suddenly started to be a crime ? Wasn't saying anything was wrong with it, making a joke based on the use of the word "Fantasy"
  20. Got it off the back of a lorry, no questions asked. I remembered the gist of it from some reading years ago. Although I had to look it up to get the details I couldn't remember. Most likely looking up why the difference in pronounciation existed in high school, I'd think.
  21. The product doesn't exist when you're seeking funding for it. So you're not a customer you're a backer.
  22. "Past Master of the Back Door Entry"? I dunno, I didn't see the issue with the name, to be honest. The thing is there's a conceptual difference between pre-order and crowdfunding. IE the entire Kickstarter campaign wasn't just a bunch of pre-orders.
  23. Er...while its fine and dandy to blame the Americans for duffing up the English language, Aluminum was coined by English chemist Humphrey Davy in his 1812 book CHEMICAL PHILOSOPHY. Later an anonymous writer, objecting to the "less classical sound" of aluminum (despite the fact that it followed the convention of several other elements) suggested that it be named aluminium in the same year's QUARTERLY REVIEW (not unlike an anonymous message board post; me thinks it was the "Walshingham of 1812" who wrote this letter to QUARTERLY REVIEW suggesting aluminium...) Correspondingly different people, companies and countries went with the different suggestions; the US originally used Aluminium exclusively, but this gave way to aluminum due to Charles Martin Hall using it on handbills and dominating the production in the US and Canada. So the aluminum-aluminium thing can't really be laid at the feet of the Americans, I'm afraid. The IUAPC didn't standardize to aluminimum until 1990 and still see aluminum as an acceptable variant.
