    generally sounds like a good idea... but i hope you can't just go and exterminate all the rats in the world and use that to intimidate a professional assassin

    I pretty much only check ITS's site once a month when it's mentioned in the news here, so I'm consistently amazed at how good this game looks whenever I see any new screens. It's definitely come a long way since I first started following it.

    (In before graphics whores tell me why I'm wrong.)

    Now that you mention it. I don't think I've seen a single animal on any screenshot they released.

    does the body count intimidate check take into account what kind of bodies have been piled up ?

    No Rodents Allowed?

    No Rodents Allowed?




    Then it's definitely an alternate universe, does that mean NO rodents?

    No singing chipmunks, no easter bunnies, no free range jack-a-lopes? :(

    VD is breaking with the standard RPG tradition to have giant aggressive rats.
    I'm not sure if I like this.

    I wouldn't trust these damn corporates and their bottom line to not doctor the shit out of staged publicity shots like this. Look, a little bit of this and that and BAM!
