What about a system such as the one in Morrowind? There clothes and armour were different things and could be worn layered over each other. So if you have armour equipped it shows on your character but you could wear cosmetic clothing over (cloak, mantle, cape, robe) or under (pants, shirt...

I'm very picky about what I buy on Steam, even during the major sales. I actually find I often feel guilty for having paid so little for games of such high quality that I've enjoyed so much (Bastion, Orcs Must Die!, and Magicka, to name a few).

The point is that if you're willing to buy a gun of any variety to stifle someone's speech you've already committed to physical coercion. I don't see that one method is appreciably more acceptable than the other. Regardless of whether those you quoted all share this perspective, I doubt any...

I'm not sure how one can describe Black & White as a long-running franchise, as it consists of only two games released four years apart. As for Molyneux's new company (is that his third now? Stop going public if you don't want to suffer the corporate yoke), I'm certainly willing to entertain...

That sounds like an awesome mod! You should make it when the Construction Kit comes out.

Therumancer got permanently banned for that last post? Really? I realize that he impugned the reputation of the Escapist somewhat but a perma-ban seems unnecessarily harsh. I for one shall miss his Unrelenting Force on these forums now that he's been Marked for Death.

First, I'd like to thank SpaceBat for presenting such a reasoned, temperate argument against the vilification of such mods. How did you manage to single out this sentence without taking into account the context provided by the preceding two? His post is attempting to illustrate how silly it...

But you're good at Restoration, and the Draugr are undead, you can use Turn Undead on them... Hilarious comic, though; I've definitely been noticing the scaling lately, all of a sudden I'm swimming in ebony. Once you disenchant an item, the strength when you apply the enchantment is...

Did I miss the part where they talked about the movies? Why did you spend the whole video talking about sequels and the various actors' careers?

R.I.P. Lydia, how was I supposed to know those trolls were resistant to lightning? I swear I thought the first one was dead, but don't worry, I shall join you once they catch up to me.

This felt pretty half-assed; 'make their cheese slide right off their cracker' made me laugh, though. I haven't read The Shining, but a good adaptation takes what it can directly from the source material and changes what it must to fit into a film format. Whether it's a good adaptation or...

Sexy bees are popular? I cannot visualize that costume.

And then everybody downloads it. Eventually, all the mod users get a message on their HUD, "My buddy asked me to show him what human augmentation can do, I've decided I must do exactly that."

One of the few JRPGs I truly enjoyed is Lunar: A Silver Star Story for Playstation, and a large part of that is due to the attachment I developed for the characters. Its starts off with the protagonist and his love interest having obvious feelings for each other. You're also given plenty of...

It doesn't seem to incorporate much in the way of physics, but Introversion Software's upcoming game Subversion is based around procedurally generated, detailed cities (down to the level of motion-sensing doors being made up of motion-sensors, doors, mechanical motors and wiring). It seems to...
