I will try to be concise, since I don’t currently have a lot of time to fully expand upon my views:

Which is precisely why I responded solely to your assertion that I didn’t “get” the jokes. Had you omitted that particular word, I wouldn’t even have replied to your post, or elaborated on why I disliked the game’s humor.

“Good, but not great” is actually a great way of describing this game, and that’s precisely why I say it is unremarkable. If this were just a run-of-the-mill effort by some random team, I would have no problem with it. But this was helmed by Cain and Boyarsky, both of whom worked on some of the greatest CRPGs of all…

Sure, dude. I disliked the game’s writing, so obviously I didn’t “get” the jokes. Please.

Given how poor the writing in Outer Worlds was, this almost seems like an improvement, even though it is STILL quite bad. I am still sore over the fact that a game helmed by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky managed to be this unremarkable. Yet another evidence of how crucial good writing is to RPGs like this, I suppose.

I can certainly understand that. The US is a very large country, after all. My country is also fairly big, and dealing with out of state judicial measures can be quite inconvenient sometimes; I assume different legal systems per state would add another layer of complexity.

Thanks! Where I practice, criminal laws are the same nationwide, so it is interesting to see the workings of a country where they vary by state.

Thanks. I asked for that information in another thread, but only found it here.

You dismissed me, so I am going to do the same to your reply. Just to be clear: I am not “going this hard in the paint” for anyone - I never passed any moral judgments upon the character of the perpetrator and statutory rape is still a crime. I am merely trying to understand this situation as a lawyer, since this is…

Is that how it works in the US? Where I practice and in some other legal systems, statutory rape is a praesumptio iuris tantum - in other words, the court assumes rape has ocurred, unless there is proof to the contrary. The conduct of the perpetrator might then be characterized as another, less serious crime - which…

It makes a significant legal difference - I am going to assume you are not a lawyer.

I don’t know the details of the case - is this statutory rape, or stricto sensu rape?

The funniest part is, nu-Tawna is apparently from an alternate universe where SHE is the hero - probably because Crash and Coco aren’t around. Good old Tawna still exists; the new design is just an ugly counterpart. Now that I think about it, I wonder if classic Tawna will show up...

That looks incredibly stupid.

That background song is absolutely insufferable.

I’ve never witnessed that firsthand, but I certainly wouldn’t doubt it. Nerd culture has this weird thing where way too many people make the things they consume too important a part of their identities; it is a eerily similar to the way certain sports fans behave, which is beautifully ironic, given the (outdated)…

Double XP was just brilliant this week.

Not sure how easy that would be (are physical copies still widely available?), but that’s also an option.

The money will go to the publisher and part of it MIGHT be redirected to Lab Zero, which is deep in debt if Zaimont is to be believed. Because of that, I do not believe it will reach his pockets.

So far this set has been incredibly underwhelming. It seems Wizards has no sense of balance anymore: sets are either the cardboard equivalent of a wet fart or so overpowered that they thoroughly ruin eternal play. As someone who only plays eternal formats (Legacy and Pauper), I am still reeling from the disasters they…
