All this ^ Bethesda could be slipping away from that though, and I'm not talking about the "series rot" people have been complaining about since Oblivion. FO4 gave us a more "set" character. His/her motivations, dialogue etc. are pretty much set in stone from the beginning. Yes you can...

Shouldn't y'all, you know, make a separate thread? "Nazism in Anime" or something. Instead of proving Godwin's law over and over, just let this thread die or continue with the original topic.

Ha. Have you watched Dr. Who recently? They'll find a way to explain it.

I can see the internet rage already. Many will claim they want to watch Dr Who just because of this (though I doubt they will), and many will swear off the show because of it (sadly I think more will follow up on that). It's all just nonsense.

Yeah, all of ME suffered from it. Insanity on 1 and 2 felt like a chore, and that is coming from a ME fanboy who spent alot of time in the whole trilogy on insanity. ME3 and Andromeda are great on the player side of things though. At high difficulties, the powers and guns have this...

Early, definitely. I think I need to rewatch KOTH. I never saw them in order (so I didn't get a good sense of progression), plus it's literally a documentary of my home.

My region? Central Texas... So: Powers: -Beer manipulation/tolerance. -Tax evasion. -Able to summon tornados, hail, lightning, wind, heatwaves, but not control it. -Barbeque Personality: Stubborn and independant, but not really hot blooded. Libertarian. Sometimes rides a...

Yeah, from what I remember you could clear mooks out faster than DA:O. That's a big negative trend in all of gaming, I think. There's this tendency to make enemies (and sometimes players/allies) more bullet spongy, as it stretches out combat and makes it more forgiving while being a dead...

Oh god FO3 vs NV... Yeah, I think Obsidian's writing is wildly superior, but Bethesda still nails the little environmental bits better than Obsidian (though not by much). Which is why I feel conflicted when people say Skyrim is a steaming pile of crap. The engine DEFINITELY is. The...

Y'all are going around in circles critiquing the combat, but for me that's the whole problem: manual combat is a pain, full AI combat was tedious and boring to configure. And the game is mostly combat. Slogging it out just to get the dialogue in between wasn't worth it to me. KOTOR had...

I actually don't read the books (bar The Lusty Argonian Maid), I was talking about the middle ground: the short notes, terminal entries, things scribbled on the wall, posed corpses etc. Things that tell a story about where you are at that exact moment beyond what a quest NPC will, not so much...

Maybe for Morrowind. But as I mentioned, I don't think most Skyrim players are diving into the textual lore like I tend to do. Perhaps I'm wrong. I have a very cynical view of the average gamer, I suppose.

Or better yet, how about more athletic builds? Alot of these anime girls fight, which just makes no physical sense when they have arms like beanpoles. E: Thick or bottom-heavy builds are functional too, just look at some olympic athletes:

Life seems to be quite resilient and stubborn though, and evolution is relentless. If not humans, I'd bet that something will setup an outpost on another body in our solar system or spit out a Von Neumann probe before fading out.

Beyond Earth's soundtrack is super under-rated. Stellaris's... might be over rated? Still quite good: Also: Someone mentioned wipeout stuff, that's great too. I'd also recommend a KOTOR song or 2, but I'm too lazy to dig them up atm...
