Actually no matter what xp system we get poe only allows 1 play style: combat. Combat will be mandatory. In some situations you can avoid combat, but not all of them. It will be MORE combat oriented than BG1. Actually you are since combat still yields economic rewards. The question of whether or not stealth players are being punished by avoiding combat doesn't change if you replace the xp with loot. Don't pretend it does. Getting rid of combat xp, but replacing it with loot does nothing for stealth players. Though I do feel it is important to point out that with how BG1 handled xp; stealth players were NOT punished overall. If anything the stealth play style is easier. Even if that weren't true though; switching xp for loot wouldn't change a thing. You must not have heard of beastiary xp. Good point. Which is why OE should have gone with the tried and true xp system of kill-xp and quest-xp. The new system has had to be tweaked and modified since it wasn't very good. It's likely they're going to have to tweak it some more in the future as well. The developers would have saved precious time and resources by not trying to fix a mechanic that was never broken.

THIS!

I thought Morrowind had a good story. A terrible main questline, but a good story.

Your feeling are right. If you want a lore-fueled you will miss the talents you want. For your athletic wizard; again the answer is yes. All the change has done is limit our options.

It has been posted and it has been disputed. Essentially it makes the claim that because up to ~15% of tweets sent to Sarkessian or Wu are negative, gamergate is about harassment. Not to mention that these SJW are disliked in general by a lot of gamers; this was true before gamergate, and will be true after it. It's just something overly sensitive gamers will talk about. Just because gamers talk about them a lot doesn't change what gamergate is about. Gamergate is financially targeting the unethical websites; proof that's what gamergate is ultimately about. It's true that a few fools care WAAAAAY too much about Anita and those like her, but a movement should be judged by its goals more than what they chat about.

It's very strange.

This game seems cool, but I don't know where to find more info on it. Can any of you brilliant Obsidian members aid me?

This new system is simply terrible. If I want my character to fight the way I want then he can't play the way I want out of battle. I feel forced to either get talents I don't want, or skills I don't want; it really sucks.

The game really isn't running well at all. I hate the merger of talents and skills.

I liked those too. I also liked the level 1 talents they added for fighters. Being able to choose to reduce armor penalty was cool.

Good. Screw doxxers.

GEE WHERE'D HE GO AGAIN R WE PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK??? Because he can't answer your question. His absurd double standard can't be justified so all he can do is leave.

um, I don't really respond well to conspiracy theory tinfoil hat rants against my character. But if you insist... the question was what am I doing to combat sexism in the industry? I'm kind of making a game with a female main character. I thought it was why don't you stop the anti-gamergate side from propagating their pro-bullying agenda. Did I miss something?

Could do even worse... "It's mostly women who kill their babies, the pattern is connected to ideas of toxic femininity". Get over it. Why do you linger on this?

That's shameful, even by her standards. Who cares what she thinks? Best to just ignore her.

Every single one of your posts on this topic has been punctuated by a rage and indignation that astounds me. You think you're saying these mega-important and scathing things, but really its just a tantrum akin to a child. I love how you came to that conclusion about me based on a humor image. I have no idea why I thought posting in here - or at least engaging with you - was a good idea. Sure is nice that you completely dodged the main point. Why don't you stop the anti-gamergate journalists from propagating a pro-bullying stance? The pro-bullying stance those journalists have taken really is beyond despicable. So again, WHY HAVEN'T YOU STOPPED THEM!?

It's actually even worse considering we actually know that these are anti-gamergate people; rather than unaffiliated trolls who have nothing to do with anything. Although I can't blame Bryy for not condemning the pro-bully stance; since holding journalists to any ethical standards is the primary point of gamergate. If he did have any standards for them; why would he be anti-gamergate?

Let's hope the next build will be the greatest update ever. So good that 1 tester actually has a heart attack from joy! Don't worry though, the attack will actually be a wake up call for the overweight gamer. After said joy heart attack the player will start eating right and living healthy; vastly improving his/her quality of life.

I've never had horse meat, but I would like to eat 1 of every animal eventually.

I was about to mention it, but decided against it The US electoral college system is not a true democracy and therefore not "legitimate". Waiting for South Africa to declare war in the US to correct that heresy The US is not a democracy. We do not claim to be one, nor should we ever be one. We are a Representative Republic.

That doesn't make him illegitimate. Democracy does not equal legitimacy.

They received weapons like assault rifles, anti-tank rocket launchers, and other ammunition. CIA agents helped them develop supply routes and provided "non-lethal" aid like money.

I don't have a problem with the word legitimate. I have a problem with non-Libyans determining who is or isn't a legitimate leader in Libya. I wouldn't want the British to say Lincoln wasn't "legitimate" because he wasn't of royal lineage. Democracy doesn't = Legitimate. It's ironic that you mention legitimacy though. See, Gaddafi was put into power by Libyans; while these rebels owe their success to the west. So if either is to be considered legitimate; it would be Gaddafi.

Syria has had a drawn out war because outside forces (like the west) chose to support the rebels. Had we done nothing they would have been crushed and the war would have been over almost as soon as it began. If not for the atmosphere created by intervention there would have been no civil war at all to be honest. The rebels went into the war expecting aid, and got it.
