that is probably the healthiest way to handle it. Side quests are just that you don’t have to do them unless you want to. They are there to add spice and variety to the world but not mandatory.

it is when you enjoy it. Not every game should be the same if your argument is that all games should conform to your expectations of a game. Some people love the way open world games are some don’t. the fact that they exist allows variety into the gaming world where otherwise we might have games you can sleep through…

only 80 hours in Boston? o.O given the building opportunities i don’t expect to leave Boston for a couple years.

maybe i’m strange but i kinda liked Japanese tv.

and then Obama turned around and added more to the debt than the other presidents combined.

only a democrat would say spending $5 instead of $10 was a surplus when you are still spending too much. it just means your debt went up 5 instead of 10.

the idea was to get a handle on Spending .. and the bad idea was expecting a democrat to actually honor their agreement.

democrats made deal and then broke it at the first opportunity, so it was a fault of making a compromise with people (the democrats) who do not keep their word. the idea was the taxes would go along with spending cuts... but true to form the democrats went back on their side of the bargain.

then you might want to tell Bernie Sanders that. Good luck.

rather strange to see liberals be so positive about the Iran deal given what the Iranian government does to women and gays. They hang the latter if you didn’t pay attention and apparently you haven’t. added to the fact that they give weapons to terrorist both in Palestine and across the middle east.

given Sanders calls himself a socialist ( and a democratic socialist) your defense fails.

forgetting that Reagan raised taxes on an agreement with the democrats but the democrats being what they are instantly betrayed their side of the bargain. The same thing happened with the first Bush too.

i do.. my first three games were Super Mario, Contra and Legend of Zelda great times

not completely true with Fallout 3.. are you forgetting the Karma system. it reacts to how you play.

possibly because there are consequences for using powers like that and while there are no bodies that doesn’t mean that more chaos isn’t created.. well decrease in guards could mean that certain areas get over run or aren’t cleaned properly (not that the guards would clean but the people who clean might either die or…

makes me think you haven’t read Atlas Shrugged.

i don’t know i got most of the runes while not killing anyone or being seen. i saw it as a tactical challange especially a stealth challenge. i really didn’t see it as a detriment or anything that remotely held me back.

depends on the player too. for games like Skyrim and Daggerfall i tend to play towards my character if i’m rewarded or not, doesn’t really matter to me. If i play a knight in daggerfall i don’t loot corpses even if it would benefit me unless i have no other option. depends on roleplay and how much the person is…

or people who enjoy using skill.. but that also might be going through the game without being detected and not killing. i guess i’m strange like that.. i’ll kill if i have to but if i can avoid it i’ll do so.

it won’t matter once Fallout 4 comes out.
