    This. Just let them do what they want, they aren't hurting anyone.

    A libertarian has introduced legislation on favorite libertarian issues, ergo, he cares about blacks. Gotcha. Have you ever wondered why libertarians favor criminal justice reforms? Could it be they recognize that law enforcement has been unfarily hard on people, and yes, noticed it effects black people the most? There are reasons why people are libertarians you know. Well said! People who favor big government should stand up and cheer ever time a cop beats or kills someone. That is government in all it's glory. I don't think that's something many of them intend Guard Dog.

    No, I haven't. I'm curious too, who is the comrade you're thinking of? I'm curious where this is going as well.

    That's correct. Obsidian has already that they will be doing a Tales of the Sword Coast style (the BG1 expansion) expansion pack.

    If I had seen him staring down the riot cops in Ferguson, then I might think he actually cares. As it is, all he cares about is libertarian issues. He just thinks he might be able to sell them to black voters. Not the same thing at all. What would staring down riot cops accomplish? Nothing. But it would go some way to convincing me that he cares about issues relevant to African-Americans, as opposed to merely caring about their votes. (That part I can certainly believe.) Well, you're halfway there. He's done more than talk about those issues though, he's introduced legislation on it too.

He just thinks he might be able to sell them to black voters. Not the same thing at all. What would staring down riot cops accomplish? A firm condemnation on white power structures. I don't think staring people down is much of a condemnation. I think introducing or voting on laws that affect such things would have better results.

    Are you suggesting African Americans don't care about criminal justice reforms? EDIT: What do you think he would have to do to say that he cares about African American issues?

    Not joking. Okay. The GOP's long-term problem is that its electoral base consists of old and aging white men who actively shut down any attempt to address concerns relevant to any other demographic as "playing the race card" or "identity politics" or other such nonsense. Rand Paul panders to exactly that base. Therefore, I thought you must have been joking. I'm guessing you haven't been following Rand Paul very closely. Rand Paul does care about African American issues; he's also good at showing it. https://youtu.be/BhjnyKJsB3I https://youtu.be/mOI3-SrFZyg https://youtu.be/6d6wA0MVMDM The GOP definitely has problems and needs to be reformed, and I think making Rand Paul the nominee (he doesn't need to win; although that would be a bonus) would be when those reforms within the GOP begin. EDIT: How exactly does he cater to that base, anyway? He was happy to see the defense of marriage act struck down (implying he wouldn't appoint any SCJ's that would defend any similar laws), he's extremely liberal when it comes to marijuana (by US politician standards), and wants to lower US involvement in foreign affairs. All things the old pseudo "conservatives" hate.

    What's so funny about that? You weren't joking? I thought that was deadpan humor. Not joking.

    I just can't imagine a collapse of the US... EDIT: Oops. Why do I keep double posting!?
  13. Namutree
    I believe Rand Paul has the power to change this if he becomes the republican nominee in 2016. LOL What's so funny about that?
  14. Namutree
    He does seem that way. It seems like the only time I ever believe he means what he says is when he says something I don't like.
  15. Namutree
    Well, I'm not among them, and I've never heard of this.

    Who would be Colbert-ing what?

    Speaking of improving the stronghold- I think that reducing traveling time a bit would make thwarting the attacks on your stronghold more managable and thus more fun. An easy way to improve the stronghold-player relationship.

    I got a new suggestion! Make a quest with a dungeon you can't exit until you complete it. Just be sure to let the player know in advance that this will be the case.

    Not all religions are equally intolerant. Some are worse than others.

    Bullsh1t. Fresh from a bovine arse. This forum is full of people more than happy to call Obsidian out without behaving like a spoilt troll in the middle of an ADHD tantrum. This game is average and any criticism you share you get a response like your own. No merit. Just a smooth internet "like my post" gibberish. I'm critical of PoE all the time. I don't see people not accepting it.
  22. Namutree
    So you don't want it to be an enhancement. You want to just be different. That's fine, but why be so quick to contradict yourself?

    It would've been, wouldn't it? Q_Q And Riker as both Captain and First Officer, now all they'd have to get rid of was Mr. Dong-Faced Jar-Jar and the show could actually have been insanely amazing. Jonathan Frakes is just awesome. He can tell 100 stupid story related puns and still be cool: https://youtu.be/VAbQTekUCjM

    I just wish GRRM would finish The Winds of Winter so I won't get spoilered to death next year. *dread* Really? I'd rather dread watching Voyager again. VOY never got past being mediocre even when it had seasons with fairly good episodes (e.g. 4 and 5) because there are a LOT of stinker episodes and it features the single worst Star Trek episode ever made: Threshold. Writing Janeway as if she's suffering from multiple personality disorder without anyone in Starfleet noticing didn't help either. Say, what was the topic again? I want to murder the "What about the Prime Directive?!"-"To hell with the Prime Directive!"-Janeway. Worst. Captain. Ever. They should've stuck to the idea to have Riker as the Captain of the Voyager. Riker as captain. That would be awesome beyond belief.

    Because they think that maybe they don't understand the game yet. They think they'll come to understand and then appreciate the mechanics if they just play it enough. Truth is, sometimes that does happen. That was the case with me when I play BG for the first time. I hated the game at first, but I heard it was great from reliable sources so I stuck with it. It wasn't until about 20 hours into my play through that I actually began to enjoy myself. Today, it's one of my favorite games of all time.
