okay i take it back - there is one bit of romantic writing Bioware has done that i really liked and its how if you play a female warden in DA:O, if youre nice to Alistair he assumes youre interested in him, and when you rebuff him its pitch-perfect writing to convey what a hapless dorkmaster he is

femshep can do that as well with the human dudes in me1 and me2

At the risk of having more posts itt about Bioware games than politics, I will sorta defend DA2. It needed a lot of extra dev time and the script was very first-drafty in places but I really liked that it was Bioware's only attempt to have a plot that was smaller scale and not just 'big bag about to destroy the world'. I mean, the plot ends up being split into very ungainly thirds but there's some good ideas there.

I just want an RPG set in a city where the plot is some assholes doing hosed up political poo poo, is that so much to ask?

They did this with ME2 too sort of and it kind of didn't work, but was at least balanced by better gameplay than the first game (the collector poo poo had no real significance and I don't think there was any buildup to the human reaper popping up if I recall).

When did "open world" become a phrase people used, RPGs have always been pretty open world

it's a distinction between like elder scrolls open world which is just one huge area and final fantasy type open worlds which are detailed areas connected by an empty map

I'm leaning toward Bannon but god drat is Sessions a close tie for first.

Sessions is the worst because he's a creature of politics that knows drat well what he's doing and doesn't give a gently caress.

Trump and Bannon are just outsiders that want to blow poo poo up.

"if i can have a rich family, anyone can"

i did some ~independent research~ and unless there are multiple people with the same name in joliet, illinois, her mom's nonprofit is a little personal project that runs a couple of halfway houses for veterans.

in 2013, the last year i found records for, it had an income of $287,410, of which a cool $117,688 went to officers' compensation, and the only officer listed at the time was the mom. that was before the mom hired her daughter as an (additional?) operations manager

so in fact her student loans were ACTUALLY paid by people who were donating to homeless vets

not sure if posting the link would count as doxxing, since she's in the news now

Hmm, how shall I post today?


Bloodlines is very good. Plus, if you play a Toreador it's basically like getting to play a matrix game as well.

I'd happily take a Bloodlines 2, preferably made by Obsidian, but Paradox seem to have no interest in using the IP and have let their tabletop/larp arm go batshit.

you need the mod that lets you always keep the dog in your party because he's not good enough to take up a character slot but also he's a fuckin dog and a good boy and he deserves the attention
