The consequences of political correctness
1) I see no reason why "try not to be a racist ****wad" would be incompatible with honesty, assertiveness, etc. Political correctness can get in the way of honesty because sometimes the truth is not politically correct. It was politically incorrect to talk about the Pakistani rape gangs; thus any mention of said gangs had to be met with denial. If you didn't deny there was a problem you would be endangering your political career. Political correctness can get in the way of assertiveness because the mention of the rape gangs was politically incorrect. Thus the issue was ignored and that gave the rapists free reign to beat, rape, and threaten innocent young girls. Who is a racist ****wad is subjective. To some of the leftist in the UK trying to stop Pakistani rapists is being a racist ****wad.

Journalism and sexism in the games industry
He uses lots of big words, and that makes me feel smart. Lol not really; I've never read his work.

^This. Libertarians don't count as left-wing folks. Noam is such a douche on so many levels, but at least he wants to clear out the confusion about what political terms actually mean.

^This. Libertarians don't count as left-wing folks. At least not the version of them that hijacked the term from socialists for some reason.

Journalism and sexism in the games industry
I think the meaning of "left" and "right" has become confused and distorted. To be blunt, I think a lot of GG people are right wing who think they're left wing due to a misunderstanding of what "left" and "right" is.

Injury status effect on downed
That is a good idea and I don't think it's too late to implement since it's just a status effect. Hopefully Obsidian will add some consequence for getting knocked out. I actually already made a thread about the issue. Here: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/70155-poll-should-there-be-a-penalty-for-being-knocked-out/

Don't hold your breathe if you expect the left to be the ones to do it. If there is a push back; it'll be from the right.

No portrait for Ocean Folk?
There are now portraits for every race and sub-race except Wild Orlan. I mentioned in another thread, the Wild Orlan portraits are coming and they look sweet. There are also quite a few more Ocean Folk and Savannah Folk being worked on. Good, I can't wait to see them!

Majoras Mask was the worst Zelda game, even worse than Wind Waker. Wind Waker was awesome.

There was no mold to break for the 3D zelda's at the time. If it makes you feel better I never thought that game wasn't art. I just don't think it's very good. To me, the only good 3D Zelda is Wind Waker.

Valentines Day
My advice is go to a strip club, those places are always friendly over Valentines day I've never been to one; doesn't seem my style. The whole experience seems unpleasant TBH. I go in, they show off their bodies, then I leave sexually frustrated. Oh, and I have to pay money for that. No thanks. EDIT: Wait, aren't you a feminist Bruce? I'm not expert on feminism, but I thought the objectification of women is supposed to be against the rules. Am I missing something?

Which would you say is best?

You have a good point. Okay, +2 Will on INT is acceptable. I concede.
-
435 Discussion
Maybe if you nerf it in some way +2 Will would be acceptable. Because if INT were any better it would be a must have attribute; well assuming the player isn't stupid.
-
435 Discussion
I know I'd be more inclined to max out INT if it gave more Will.

435 Discussion
Wont that make INT way too OP. How do you propose balancing it? I mean, INT is pretty darn good already.
