Most RPGs limit armor types to classes. That is a basic RPG mechanic.

Yes, Archers can be built to be destructively glass-cannonish. If you haven't yet met Sera… well, go to Orlais and meet Sera. Your life will immediately improve by 9000% because Sera is awesome.

The guy is a professionally-trained killer of fantastical creatures that are faster/stronger/tougher/possessing of more magical traits and abilities than regular humans, and a super-human mutant on top of that… and the fact that seven schmucks with swords get their asses handed to them by him is somehow dumb?

I think the grittiness comes from the fact that CD-Projekt and the books are all based in Poland, or a fictionalized version of Poland, which has been repeatedly brutalized throughout history by everyone.

I noticed that, too, in PoE. No matter how I resolve issues, whether I just slaughter my way through everything or try to be a diplomat, everything ends up being terrible.

Sometimes, being a nice guy to someone on the streets will change their lives forever… but you'll never know. You won't ever hear about it, you won't ever pass that way again, and you'll never see that person again. Still, at that moment in time, you did something that enacted a profound change in someone else's life…

You're the only one who thinks that because you are objectively wrong. Check your graphics settings (or upgrade your hardware) if the scenic shots are not being visually impressive.

I dunno, that live-action web-short that was going around a few months ago was pretty goddamn good. Power Rangers-go-Cyberpunk. I'd watch a couple hours of that, sure.

They don't really auction Airwolf. For one, it's been bought. For two, it was on eBay's Platinum Reserve.

Ehm… the "sexy cosplay Harleys" are based on her depiction in BTAS, where she was shapely and always in a skin-tight outfit.

Because Lucas didn't know that in 1970-whatever. "Parsec is, like, a second… IN SPACE, yeah? Whatever, man…" So someone, somewhere, came up with this convoluted story about Kessel being surrounded by black holes, requiring most pilots to take a longer, safer route around them… but Solo basically cut directly across,…

As they say, "The wise man learns from the deaths of others."

I think you're missing the point about what he's saying.

The rape isn't exactly new. (Checks to make sure this isn't a "For Newbies" thread…)

Ehm… what? No. No, it isn't. What Arya is doing on the show is basically what she's been doing in the books.

The Republic had, historically, had a military. By the era of the Clone Wars, however, it had been at peace for so long that all that existed were token planetary defense forces which, even combined, could not hope to outnumber a manufactured army of droids, and there was not time to draft/recruit and train enough…

You stupid or something? Go read the C-Monster's post again. Dude is just makin some comments on some films, motherfucker, he ain't gotta be all "om nomnom" all the time. Sheeeeit, it like you ain't never seen a monster or a super-villain in their downtime, just kickin it.

Played "Betrayer" off Steam, which is a sort of supernatural-FPS set in the days of the English exploration of the New World. You wake up on the beach after a shipwreck and have to figure out what the hell is going on. Not a long game, maybe 10 hours, but well-written, and has some interesting (though grim)…

Nah, in… one part or another… there's some ponce that gets arrested for doing… something. You can either release him into your custody or have him executed. He's a potential story companion. I've always had him killed.

Kinda. I found myself not giving a shit about Vegas, other than not wanting it to fall to the Legion. Once Caesar was dead, I didn't give a shit if House ran it, the NCR took it, Benny, Yes-Man or some shlub from Freeside. When you're the Courier, ain't no place called "home". Don't like a place? Keep walking.
