I think what i was trying to get at is that the desire for competitive competence in the use of weapons is entirely based in their ability to kill others, so by following this same logic wouldnt it be true that systema/krav maga and the like are objectively superior than less combat effective...

Would anybody really be interested in learning to shoot guns if they couldnt kill people?

Why do you think a bullet to the head would kill you instantly? Are you basing your assumptions off of movies and video games?

As i understand it gnosticism is just an offshoot of the fake religion templars "followed" to prepare themselves for faking conversion to islam if they were captured.

8/10 kind of reminds me of a gregorian chant, but darker

I think that the reason people take issue with fallout 3 that its very very different from its predecessors. If it started as its own IP and didnt copy paste names from other fallout games I bet a lot of the elitists you are talking about would be alright with it.

Part of what makes south park funny to me is how they make it painfully obvious that they arent really trying very hard. The stick of truth is hilarious but its not really a very good rpg.

Im actually moving fairly nearby in a couple months so we can face them together

norway and germany are in very different geographic and political positions. And no, im not too happy about russia invading other countries however in the big picture russia is losing this situation, especially since the west is now right up against its border and because of its geographic...

There are certain things about russia I try to keep in mind. Because of its geography Russia (the core muscovy region) is very difficult to defend. The only real way to protect themselves from being conquered constantly is to control more defensible land farther out. Russia has been trying to do...

Good and evil exists inside societies, not between competing wild animals. I hope you are not serious to believe any nation is not taking every possible action it can to feed itself.

Im willing to bet this whole thing is about getting nato troops on russias border.

Perhaps the west is trying to create a little casus belli with mercenaries.

I thought that the legion used melee primarily as a backup weapon. I dont know if i ever met a legionnaire who didnt have a cowboy rifle or some kind of explosive except for the really early game low levels and the praetorians who operate in a very enclosed space.

This is good news, I hope it will be a rich and content heavy game. I also hope that they design it more like fallout new vegas and make more paths for each quest instead of just massing a lot of generic quests like skyrim.

I agree that the ncr militaryhas a lot in common with the united states military during that period but not necessarily the entire game.

Maybe obsidian never got around to finishing vault 21 and had to come up with a semi plausible explanation for why you cant explore the whole thing.

weirdly headshots with smaller calibers are more likely to kill because they have a higher chance of sticking in the brain or bouncing off the inside of the skull and turning the brain to slush. A larger bullet like one from an ak 47 is more likely to go cleanly through everything. So as long as...

I dont get the hate. Just from talking with caesar i got the sense that the legion is not his end goal, just a means to unify tribals. The wasteland is in many ways similar to the time of ancient rome. Many small independent hunter gatherer tribes fighting with each other and not really making...

keep in mind any nuclear armed country will probably nuke all the countries bordering it to avoid being raided
