    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    You are very wrong about Baldur's gate. The shenanigans you could get up to with the main character were ridiculous. Warrior/Rogue hybrid that could one hit almost any enemy in the game with backstab being one example.

    There's two takeaways from this for you : 1) Other people like different things than you do. They aren't secretly hating it and pretending to like it, they are not in denial, they haven't been jedi mind tricked and they are not paid shills. 2) Hardcore raiders are not now, and never have...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yeah, it was actually pretty fun - the equipment adds a whole new dimension to deck building strategy and the PVE only cards have some hilarious effects. The experience was marred only by their general coding skills - mass lag to start with, when they fixed that, lots of bugs. It's better than...

    What about ATM-man, whose super power is making ATMs give him free money ? Double tap to the head, unmarked grave ? ;p Is there any reason you'd treat him any differently than, say, a hacker that got ATMs to give them free money ?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Class balance seems pretty decent, any significant advantages have been hotnerfed more or less. Windwalker monk I think took a few too many nerfs to the groin before they worked out that it was the PVP set causing their OPness, but this just means they are probably going to collect a buff in the...

    What did you just read?

    "Willful Child", Steven Erikson - this was... not what I was expecting. I suppose the cover blurb can't really be accused of lying when it says it is space opera, but the book is actually a slapstick star trek parody. Not like Red Shirts, where it still tried to stay grounded while being funny...

    I used nalmika, although she wasn't all that useful. The white chick, um, sefia would probably be better ( her SBB is like 80% para chance I think ).

    Might just be Yuno, she is uniquely awesome. Of course, maybe I am a bad person as well - her answer to the whole terrorist hostages with motion sensitive triggers made me laugh my ass off.

    I went with Lily, Aurus, Ulkina, Zelnite, Shera, Cardes. I failed to vet properly though and got some bb1 cardes with no gems and he died 5 times against Estia. I decided to keep going anyway and decided it was probably easier with him dead ( don't give a fuck if his BB is filled, hits on him...

    Uh, the technician said one person had to stay and do it, then said he wasn't going to do it and pissed off. Neither Keene nor Red would leave the other to do it alone.

    I assumed that Reddington is her father, and the guy we see in the series isn't actually Reddington. It's consistent with not lying - as far as I recall he's never actually told her his name.

    That's true, but he probably blamed her for getting him into the whole thing - he'd never even know they exist if she didn't sic him on Shinichi. The chick was pretty funny though - 'you can keep that' heh ;p

    For the vast majority of cases, bullets travel significantly faster than the noise the firing makes. If you dodge when you hear the gunshot, it's already hit you. Sorry, but this gets a -4/10 for nerdrage quality ;p

    Early access is rarely a good idea - if you are anything like me, you'll play something, get sick of the incomplete bugginess, and then months/years later when it actually releases, you won't care anymore.

    Wait what ? Inn level 3 gives follower missions with more gold ? Hah, I was wondering why their 'especially lucrative' daily quests had such shit rewards, if they are follower missions that makes a lot more sense. Yeah, I was looking at the new gold+ followers and thinking 'big deal', but...

    They are putting in a vendor that sells those, so it should be easier for people with salvage yards, and a lot easier for everyone else.

    I was in the same boat a few weeks ago - pandaria is a festering hellhole that you want to escape as quickly as possible. I had to take a few alts from 85-90 and some of the panda quests made me want to claw my eyes out ( especially that fucking cinematic play along scout reports stuff, ughhhh...

    That seems a kind of harsh response to the pre-alpha not having loot filtering. You seem to care about it, and it sounds like a good idea - have you asked them to add it ?

    No, of course not. It's not like the president or whatever would have any idea what those guys do day to day. Do you think presidential appointments come with a detailed list of micro-management instructions or something ? ;p

    Icy Veins say that too, but as far as I can tell it's hard to be more wrong about something. It takes less time to get a level in a dungeon than it does to travel to the next quest hub, let alone actually do the quests. The only reason I can see to not do it <90 is you are sick of it, or are a...

    Hamilton's series are quite different - the commonwealth ones are all pretty similar, but Mindstar Rising etc may as well have been written by a different person.

    He's a martial arts expert, caster is buffing him. It's the reverse of the usual setup where the master is a mage and buffs the servant and lets them fight for them.

    UBW is Unlimited Blade Works - the series that is airing right now, it's a different version of the story from the original Fate/Stay series, which was on years ago. Fate/Zero is a prequel to both of them, and is far more adult in tone, and, in my opinion, much better than either of the others.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    It's a little different this time, in that mtg's patent has expired, leaving them with significantly more dubious claims like customers being confused and buying digital hex cards from inside the hex client thinking that they are really mtg cards ;p

    It's a bit odd - if I remember stay/night correctly, saber was kind of inexplicably a bitch when she first got summoned, assuming Shirou was going to make her lifedrain people to get mana etc. This made a lot more sense as a reaction to the events of zero - this one she doesn't seem to remember...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    If you play mage, you can always spec knight enchanter and go melee stuff with your laser sword. You will learn to hate Cassandra though, as she continually bashes your target out of your range while you are in mid swing.

    The distribution is actually where his atk goes in his hits, not the drop check. It's mostly academic for Melchio because they are so similar, but it's more obvious with units like Mariudeth where one of his 3 hits hits MUCH harder than the other two.
