    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Instead of writing my own long post, just read Vex's again. I'll even embarass myself and say that SWTOR (and Saints Row 2/3) is what converted me from favoring "voiceless" to "voiced" main characters. So much so that I can't recognize SR2/3 without my guy & voice. Of course tgese games gave...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Is there a form of storytelling where the man character doesn't talk or emote throughout the entire story?

    Dead Man Down

    I don't watch a lot of movies or hang out in movie house much, but I keep catching this extended length commercial/trailer on TV (yeah, they buy a 2min commercial spot for this movie late night), and the commercial is... I dunno, "moving"? Very emotion evoking I thought. Probably won't see...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    While I agree with this sentiment in general, can someone explain to me the difference between how DA2 "forced" Hawke on you and how Mass Effect "forced" Shepard on you? Is it the same thing really, the difference being people liked Shepard/Mass Effect and didn't like Hawke/DA2?

    5 Best Games of All Time

    I'd like to say I bought Planescape: Torment around when it came out, but something about my computer wouldn't run it right, I think it crashed whenever it played videos, so I never played more than the first like 10 minutes. This has been the 5 millions thread on these boards alone to make me...

    North Korea

    I've read reports suggesting this isn't as likely as we think anymore. There was a point like 30 years ago that Seoul would have been evaporated and everyone killed, but I believe they remade a lot of buildings up to new standards and there is a massive underground subway that doubles as a...

    Neverwinter: PC

    No, that was just the propaganda. 4e was just as much of a dungeon crawler as 3e really, it just codified it better to make it easier to run and play and to make balanced out encounters easier by taking a different approach. Mainly because it gave you a bunch of stuff to do in combat, and...

    North Korea

    Someone pointed out the main reason North Korea is all but immune to attack is because toppling their government would create a humanitarian crisis the likes of which the world has never really seen and someone would have to be responsable for cleaning it up and no one wants that responsability...

    Neverwinter: PC

    I just find most people who dislike 4e haven't played enough to actually have a very informed opinon of it. After played every edition of D&D, I really do think it is the best of the lot. But I also honestly believe that it is too mired in the past and clinging to too many "holy cows", so there...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Think you need to play more. You get an Encnouter Attack at 1st, 3rd and 7th, then can swap them out for new ones at like 13, 17, 22 and 27 or somthing. So including the 1 you get from your Paragon Path, you never get more than 4 Encounter Attack Powers, unless you specificly try to get more...

    It is pretty bad. Yet still better than all the D&Ds that came before it. We have D&D Next (5e) coming to kill D&D for us.

    Vikings

    Especially after how amazing "Men Who Built America" turned out to be. I was really dumbious about that, but it turned out brilliant. I was hoping this would be the same. Oh, also "The Bible" is coming out the same day but... Zzzzzz.

    Vikings

    I thought this was going to be rather documentary-sh and give us a good look into the Vikings we haven't had in a while considering the amount of misinformation and such. The fact that it is more like "Tudors" or "Sparticus", I dunno... I'm a bit unsure. To me part of the "viking problem" (so...

    House bottomed out at 38?Still last night so the pipes are still intact. Power is slowly creeping across the area just not here yet. A friend is going to bring a gnerator and heater by tonight to make sure the pipes don't freeze tonight. This blows. At least in the blizzard of '78the we had a...

    Checking in. House at 42?. Got a "warm room" set up with blankets and candles. There is a shelter down the road if I really need it. Word is no power for 48 more hours. So may need to abandon the house to look for a hotel or just go to the shelter tomorrow.

    Still alive. Storm seems overbut a lot of snow still. House is 48 degrees. So it sucks but not intolerable yet. No way to heat the house without power right now exept squatting over a candle. There may be a friend or two to go to and a shelter opening soon but the roads dont seem clear enough...

    Still no power. House is getting kind of cold. Wind is still howling so can't tell if it is snowing or just blowing. Snowplows have been running all night which I guess is good. Power company's website still says "assessing situation" after 5 hours now. Joy.

    Crusader Kings II

    There is no RTS low level mini's combat in Crusader Kings II like in the Total War type games. If you mainly played the Total War games for the big map turn based stuff, this is much more like that style of play. That said, it is a slow game with a learning curve and isn't for everyone. If...
