Yeah that looks right Ah...never chose that option there. What i don't like about this is that can become a cop out. " oh, a gate to the fade is open and we need the mages help to close it and templars to fight the demons. Let's unite and fight the archdemon Flemeth the BIGBAD. The templar-mage war was the only element in any Bioware game in the last decade with no clear black and white solution, and i was curious how Bioware would deal with it. Does seem like its an easy way to get out of that conflict; hopefully it won't be used as such.

Eh? I am talking about the desire demons, they can be hot. You even have the option to have sex with one in DA:O I don't remember anything like that in DA:O. Possibly I missed it because I wasn't seeking such, but...

Didn't all the abominations look the same in DA:O? Melty-faced?

zeh-DIG-eve gill-ex would be my wild stab in the dark. Hmmm, wrote fark instead, not sure what that means. Ultimately with regards to the constructed language, I think as long as the terminology doesn't go overboard (as in the old Planescape setting warning of going overboard with cant slang) so that the context is understood I'm okay. I don't worry about pronunciation that much personally (one of my first jobs involved calling people's names out - you kind of get over mispronouncing things quickly). Lol, no no no... it's pronounced exactly how it looks! That's how it looked to me! Unlike Raymond Luxury Yacht, which is pronounced "Throat Warbler Mangrove".

I think the idea - at least as I get it - is that this is a "doorway opened to the Fade in the Sky" as opposed to "magicians calling demons forth from the fade" or "mages being possessed by demons from the fade" which was the whole reason mages were feared and such.

Lt. Tragg: I don't need an autopsy to tag this one. It screams murder. Perry Mason: When it stops screaming and starts following the rules of evidence, I'll start listening. Lt. Tragg: My, we're very legal this morning. Perry Mason: Two pawn tickets- one she hides in the label of a mink coat, the other ticket stays in her purse where anybody might find it. It's inconsistent. Paul Drake: She's a woman. Perry Mason: Nah, that's no excuse. Perry Mason: Could Jasper have killed Callendar? Paul Drake: Perry, he was only in there ten seconds. Perry Mason: How long does it take to stick a sword in a man?

The correct answer was 'To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women'. Either that or, 'When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks you if you paid your dues; you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have you paid your dues, Jack? Yessir, the check is in the mail." '

Wow, that gag went awkward fast...

Hmmm, I'd be afraid an "Inspector Morse" episode would break out if I was at the Randolph (cf. The Jewel That Was Ours / The Wolvercote Tongue).

I'm playing through Saints Row III again; working on building myself up and hitting the bonus content/expansion stuff. I forgot how goofy the game was.

I'm a fan of Mr. Darwin. Ooo, clever. Carry on then.

They don't mention the erection is painful and can lead to sterility? Seems a point you'd want to make before people descend on Brazil looking to induce priapism in themselves. Also, Brazil has social colonies of spiders that build colony webs above the streets (either permanently or for mating purposes). Which can lead to it raining spiders in town.

My dad plants tomatoes and gives me some of the extras - they always taste better than anything you find in the store (to be more specific, they actually *have* a taste, which most store bought tomatoes don't have).

Nope, not released a motive yet. Or any other details of how they might have known each other or if it was random or anything.

Its the occupational hazard of being an inveterate avatar changer.

10 years? That's unpossible!

One of the arguments against romance is that - how it has been implemented so far - is that you don't have a very interesting companion UNLESS you pursue the romance. Therefore for many people this isn't a "well I won't use the feature so its development is a neutral issue" to "this feature could actively nerf joinable companions" Facing death on a daily basis might lead the party to actually want to get some rest instead of copulate. To be honest this is one of those things that is going to be HIGHLY dependent on the PC and NPCs and the situation IMO. You used the word "immersive", therefore I have a mild hate of you now.

I wonder this as well. I'd have to assume you'll have regions of relative "safety" (more rest zones than spots) with smaller areas of... "unrest," (I couldn't resist), and other regions of relative danger (or otherwise-preventing-extended-rest factors) in which the majority of the area will not allow resting, and only small spots will allow it. I highly doubt it'll be just little dots throughout the entirety of the traversable map. I am anticipating more official info on this, in general, though. I figure there will have to be some kind of visual indication. Were already being forced to go to specific areas just to rest, I cant imagine the design would also force us to press the rest button every 10 feet until we get lucky and find the sweet spot. I imagine it'll be on the map, but they could also do it by having it be a "vacant" camp site already visually or have floating test when you hit the area "this looks like a good area to rest if you want to".

I was under the impression that Isabela will come to the same revelation in the romance with the right dialogue choices regardless of whether its a friendship romance or a rivalry romance?

Well, they've arrested two people for the murder of the person found dead on campus.

To be fair, women dressing sexy in the real world usually aren't going into battle with their broad axe against people with magic, swords, etc. either. I think - to some degree - fashion gets skewed in role playing games because everyone runs around in their armor at all times whether it makes sense or not (grocery buying IN FULL MAIL! visit the theater IN FULL MAIL! etc).

I don't mind random encounters, I'm not sure I'd think respawning enemies (just because of resting, as opposed to "replenished ecology" kind of respawns after significant layers of time". Now, ultimately as its a game I only care that their solution is balanced for the game and not cumbersome. But I do wonder if the better solution would be to make repeated rest some sort of law of diminishing returns (so many rest periods in so much time causes the effects to minimize, add a "over-rested" status, exponentially increase likelihood of encounters while resting with each rest, etc) than to limit rest areas.

"Yes." "Well that wasn't very nice, was it?" "I, uh, I guess not." "D'you go around stabbing every random berk you meet?" "...I should really get going." "Ohh, you're too good to kill me now, is it? Mister 'I went and beat the game already and came back all uber and junk' thinks I'm not worth his time to just stab and corpse loot. Oh I get it now, now that 3 gold is a fraction of your net worth you can't be bothered with rolling me in an alley and stuffing my still-warm corpse through a sewer grate..."

It does but it is a creation of my imagination, as are all of you, the Earth, the universe, etc. The entire multiverse, including these boards, every person I have ever "met" or heard of, every solid, liquid, and gas, heck the very concept of solids, liquids, and gasses, they were all created by my imagination as a self contained universe. This is my own private playground, or my own private hell. Outside of me, there is nothing, or everything, or a completely different concept that cannot be defined by nothing, everything, or anything. I'll never know, because this self contained universe is all I'll ever know. Reminds me of the gag in philosophy class; my professor relayed the story of a colleague's revelation. The colleague, while having sex with his wife, suddenly stopped and exclaimed to her, "I just realized, I am all that exist and everything outside of me is a creation of my imagination. So I am god, and I'm not having sex with you, I'm masturbating!"
