  1. Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

    So he's Braveheart, saving his land from rapacious nobles who claim primae noctis and outlaw outlawed tunes? Except the ones doing the raping in Ferelden are the local dukes, and there's really no music to speak of. I could see it being a practical matter, where the nobles of Ferelden are...

  2. Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

    Did they ever explain why Loghain loved Ferelden so much? It's a primitive land, mostly wilderness, with a few huts and castles here and there, much like any medieval realm I'd imagine. The religion of Ferelden is shared by the rest of the continent, while the fashion is utilitarian (Liliana...

  3. Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth

    What a novel concept, someone on the Codex playing a game they don't like for a really long time and then admitting to it in the midst of a rant. You're like Winston in 1984, when he meets that hooker who smells like dead insects and cheap perfume and is old, toothless. She disgusts you, but you...

  5. Development Info Brian Mitsoda responds to Dead State vaporware accusations, reveals new release date

    The abuser in this case is a blatant psychopath who gets random people fired and gloats about it on Twitter, using feminism as a convenient way of gaining the moral high ground at the same time. The veneer of feminism is thin indeed and it takes a real dummy, or an ideologue, to not see through...

  6. Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth

    Warrants further comparison, They both look really nice, but what stands out to me like a blister on an otherwise attractive woman's face is that Civ 3 doesn't have elevation. Thank you and goodnight. ... To be honest, that wasn't what I was originally going to say. At first I started writing...

  7. Pillars of Eternity Beta Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    In RPGs you typically have a few spells like mirror image that would be great if used on a warrior, but are unfortunately useable only on self and therefore exclusive to mages. A muscle mage could simply be a mage who puts those spells to better use by combining them with modest combat ability...

  8. Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

    Darth Vader blew up the Trade Federation capital ship at age six, by himself, thus freeing planet Naboo from tyranny. Next time you feel the urge to dismiss the fighting capabilities of children, check your facts.

  9. Interview Matt Chat 255: Feargus Urquhart on Black Isle, Baldur's Gate, and Fallout 2

    It's urban middle class culture. Gaider and a lot of the Bioware people are like that as well. Consider that if you were living in the ghetto and some thugs saw you playing D&D your street cred would be ruined.

  10. The XP for Combat Megathread! DISCUSS!

    There is a lot of flexibility in what could work in an RPG. The important thing for designers would not be to develop an inflexible design philosophy, one that dictates what XP system they must use, for instance, but to use their intelligence and creativity to improvise as the project takes shape.

  13. Paizo Publishing sends 'heart warming' response to transgender fan

    You have shat on my couch, metaphorically speaking, for the last time, Jonathan. From this point onwards I will never respect your "opinions" again.

  14. Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth

    This is a very minor detail, but it bothers me a bit. "The Second World War" already sounds like something out of H.G. Wells, and Einstein pointed out that after the third go we'd be back in the stone age. Having four world wars, none of which are apocalyptic, kind of cheapens them. I think...

  15. Paizo Publishing sends 'heart warming' response to transgender fan

    There is no problem with that. If you are in a creative capacity: get creative. What I dislike is when politics show up (particularly the SJW slant) and there are big, righteous arguments about how so-and-so creative people in such-in-such industry ought to be open minded, like these prehistoric...
