we live in a world where you can play KOTOR and San Andreas on your goddamn cellphone. kids these days, they don't even know how good they have it.

Huh... this seems pretty awesome. If done right of course. I want to drown witches in rivers, ride into battle alongside other knights, meet the pope and get my paycheck from the Kaiser. I want to collect the debts for the Fuggers and murder and plunder through the villages of heretics while burning their precious…

Perhaps they're kings.

In European history, the Middle Ages, or Medieval period, lasted from the 5th to the 15th century (i.e. 400s to 1400s)

The Holy Roman Empire lasted from 962 to 1806. The late middle ages are the 14th & 15th centuries. There's no contradiction.. When did you last check a history book?

You seem to confuse "grabbing for legitimacy" for "trying something that hasn't been done in a while."

I assume the game will contain standard RPG elements/gameplay. Just because you're fighting soldiers rather than elves doesn't mean it's no longer an RPG.

This isn't historically accurate. Everyone isn't covered in shit.

"Not like the 10'000 other fantasy RPGs on the market and in production, pass."

I pretty much agree with you, but this isn't even low fantasy. The closest term I can think of is "historical fiction"

You know what they say, appeirances can be deceiving.

Wtf is a book?

Well, it could have been worse. She could have been carrying a hand grenade, or the pier could have been a hand grenade.

I think we've all learned a valuable lesson today. Never give in to pier pressure.

Step 2: divorce. Your spouse probably deserves someone who respects him/her a bit more than you do.

Logic trap.

I'd expand this to do not ever go to HR with an interpersonal problem. Think of the worst possible way things could turn out for you - that's how it'll probably go.

If you don't know who the dumb co-worker in the office is... Sorry.
