What kind of crap is THAT? Cossacks ARE Russians. Those who moved to free of feudal lords parts of the country. And they are a big part of the local population on the Caucasus. Europe has had its frontier in the New World and Russian frontier was the Caucasus and Siberia, so what's that nonsense...

"Libertarian socialism"? Sounds like a new brand of alcohol-less beer to me.

Well, the USSR was doing great too until 1960s - somewhere around those years everything has started collapsing. So do you have a counter example then? Argument like "oh, it works for Western Europe so far" doesn't count. If you'd visit the USSR in 1961 and asked random people from the...

Well, didn't think about that, but since you've mentioned - I know my ancestors since 18th century and they were not exactly "shitfarming peasants". For their weak and sick - that's right. Like I care about my family, my parents, my brother and friends. Not about some random bum from the...

Compared to what? To 19th century Brazil? Wanna bet? Seriously, even in 1970s communists still made a lot of bragging comparing quality of life to 1913. "The Soviet industry produced X% more of this and Y% more of that compared to 1913". It's hilarious how people here talk about 19th...

And the point of doing anything then... what is it exactly? I am from the country which suffered from this syndrome for 70 years or so and I can see results. Nobody - seriously - just fucking nobody! wants to work. All everyone can think about is just making quick money from stealing or...

Are you going to cite the Bible as well? "including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services"... do you seriously believe that everyone entitled to all of that for free?

Care to elaborate why? Every human being should take care of his own fate. If he isn't - bad for him. If you move to another country - you should consider all possibilities, pros and contras, think ahead if you should do it or not. If you just don't care - you are not entitled to anything.

Crni Vuk, cronicler, others - thanks for the discussion we're having :) I've decided to start playing The Witcher after all - I remember liking the book a lot, so I assumed the game won't be bad either. So far I like it (I'm in the chapter One). The absence of that boring good-vs-evil thing is...

YAAM - Yet Another Alien Movie. How many do we need? Can't they come up with something new already? Or take another sci-fi story as the basis for the plot at least? On a positive side - just keep Adam Sandler and Will Smith out and it will probably be at least bearable.

Yes, I know - this is an excuse game devs use to make a linear plot identical for both evil and good characters :D I suspect I'm starting digging too deep, but this again comes from that "good vs evil" black-and-white, heaven-vs-hell constant nonsense. Life is never like that. Lets take...

...And this is probably the worst problem with being evil in games. Even if you play an evil character, you still always end up "saving the world". This is just a clear and stupid contradiction to being evil. An evil character should end the game reaching some egoistic goal. Like taking over or...

Sorry, but I probably didn't express my idea clear enough. Being an asshole doesn't mean being evil. Being asshole means just that - being an asshole. This is mostly a protective behavior which comes from being weak. You will not find this trait in real-world evil characters - like high rank...

I was referring to PS:T when talked about the "sale your loyal follower into slavery". Evil character in PS:T seems to be just a psychotic paranoid type. I'm looking for something closer to a "charming villain" type... like Mr. Zorg from "5th Element" movie. Something more believable. The...

Hi, I'm sure this topic isn't new for anyone, but I was wondering - is there any decent game that would allow one to roleplay an evil character in a meaningful and...err... satisfying manner? Let me explain. In all games I've seen to the moment evil characters were more like "playing an...

No. There are key differences between Russian view on engineering and, let's say, US way of engineering. American (and German, Japanese, etc) engineers tend toward "technical excellence". Every detail must be 100% reliable and the combination must be perfect. Factories must meet high...

Currently playing Jade Empire SE. Started the game a long time ago, stopped playing at part 3 (can't remember why) and now wondering why the game has been gathering dust for 3 years. Restarted a game yesterday. A really good one, very original. It's a pity there will be no sequel.

Inconsistencies in FO1/2 and FO3 are of absolutely different scale. Let's take Homer's "Iliad" as an example. It surely has "inconsistencies" since it's a fictional story. But it leaves a lot to your imagination - for example, when Homer talks about Helen as she is the most beautiful women in...

Give them enough time (like 2-3 years) and everyone will think that Bethesda created the Fallout series.

Engine has nothing to do with horrible NPCs. There is no one to like or hate in FO3. No one like Sulik with his tribal humor. No one like that tight-ass bitch Linette from Vault City. Characters in FO3 are just plastic puppets - not by looks... they just fill the space. Dialogs are horrible...
