Can anyone reccomend a good documentary on the subject of any of the ancient civilizations? Most documentaries I find on documentary sites are just History/Discovery/NatGeo sensationalist bullshit. A single narrator who just throws information at you while all the footage shown is related to...

Bethesda can lie all they want because as soon as you show the basic cognitive skills to notice their lies and/or complain about them, you're also showing that you are not their target audience. And at least half of all these lines are those of the male/female variants of the player character...

People actually needed to be warned that their guns wouldn't work if broken. I'm sure Bethesda will invent a character just as pointless.

So they have the freedom to ruin the franchise we loved, and we have to control our speech and our very thoughts so not to hate (on) them? And let us not forget that words... are just words. Hordes upon hordes of Bethesdrones may descend upon this forum and I wouldn't mind them expressing their...

But it's not about making choices you would make in his place, it's about making choices that suit his personality. If you did everything in RPG games as you would in your character's place, you wouldn't have much differences from playthrough to playthrough (other than maybe different skill sets).

Come on, you don't really believe that Invisible War deserves such bad company, do you? I mean, other than the main character unfit to shine JC Denton's shoes, universal ammo, and the lack of a proper inventory, there really isn't that much wrong with the game. Loading times were an issue back...

- The Thief series (naturally, Thiaf excluded) - The Hitman series (naturally, Abomination excluded) - The Deus Ex series - The Fallout series (naturally, 3 excluded) - Victoria 2 - Crusader Kings 2 - Desperados: Wanted Dead Or Alive (and similar games) - The Witcher (the first one) - Mount &...

At least Amnesia had a practical purpose for it (the monsters stop being scary if you look at them for a while). And when you drained your "sanity meter", you had consequences such as your vision changing, or eventually dropping to the floor. In This War Of Mine, it just turns you from "Boris"...

My favorite of the comments (so far): "Skyrim makes me wonder if Bethesda, unintentionally gave birth to a microcosm of evolving consciousness, every interaction with the games various species seemed too adaptive for an inanimate disc to reasonably be capable of. The code bethesda churns out...

This War Of Mine gets far too easy if you get into the whole killing thing. The only real "penalty" for it is Boris being depressed when he comes back filled with all sorts of useful loot. Well... Fuck you, Boris, get back out there and kill some more bandit bitches. But if you try to make all...

Even with all its faults, I still liked Oblivion far more than Skyrim. And the only problem I had with Shivering Isles was that I couldn't get myself to go back into Cyrodill when I was done with it.

Well, if you mention Riften and Skyrim's stupidity, I just can't not mention the Thieves Guild. Which genius in Bethesda (and this is BETHESDA we're talking about, so there wern't any high expectations, storyline-wise, to begin with) thought of a main quest for the THIEVES GUILD which doesn't...

:eyebrow: That's an overreaction If I ever saw one.

Another video on the same subject.

Crusader Kings 2 just refuses to become boring. I just hope it can keep me entertained until Victoria 3.

Skyrim also doesn't have any functional forts until you start doing the civil war quests. Having lots of hostile areas in New Vegas makes sense because that's a world where humanity is struggling to survive (to a point... think frontier life). Skyrim has been a civilized, functional part of the...

We finally got Dynasty back on national television. Don't know what the ratings are like now, but I think that the ratings that series had in the 80s are holding the record for all of former Yugoslavia to this day. Years ago we also got a rerun of North And South. Allo Allo and Only Fools And...

And thank God for that, Horatio and his one-liners are about the only good thing ever to come out of CSI. Though they could kill everyone else, and have the show continue with Horatio as a badass one-liner-toting vigilante, with the only other recurring role being that of his sunglasses. If...

... and I just started liking South Park even less. Fuck the dragons. What makes the series interesting is the characters, the politics and the intrigue, not its generic fantasy elements. I guess some people like watching one huge CGI army fight another, but making that the focus of the series...

I'm most grateful to him for the series he gave us, but I sometimes wonder about whether or not he held ADWD off until the show's release on purpose. Six years is a long time to write a book where only half your characters even appear. The guy is probably bathing in money right now, so I think...
