    So I was just replaying Mass Effect 1 and...

    Except that the control consoles was smack in the middle of the most guarded room in the whole Citadel, and Bioware made that clear by having Wrex, or Ashley, or both (it's been a while) wonder where the hidden snipers are, because they must be there. And people would indeed question what he was...

    Actually the more you think about it the more it's obvious that they did think of it... Any message that would be obvious to the Council races would also be obvious to the Reapers, and the Protheans entire plan was based on the Reapers not finding out about he Keepers until it was too late...

    Why is Neverwinter Night 2, one of the greatest games, shunned by so many gamers of this forum.

    The World Map made it worthwhile imo... even if it was hardly perfect. I'd like some more games that use it like that...

    Actually what Vigil says about the Beacons makes it way simpler... They wanted to make sure only biological beings would be able to get the message (while not indoctrinated), so the Reapers won't notice it and destroy it at any point, and they didn't imagine they'd use someone like Saren...

    Which probably means it gives you control to it's main OS (operating system)... which would have been needed to access the keeper activation signal code so they could modify it. But being able to use the OS doesn't mean you can re-write it at your leisure... I mean the Council already...

    Pls do read what was said before... Vigil deciphered english from the comm chatter he picked up, and everyone could understand him, the part you're thinking of is before you enter the long tunnel to the Conduit where Vigil is, and there's a broken console transmitting the signal to the...

    Besides the Beacons, which they used... and had someone found the one on Eden Prime before Sovereign understood the Keepers have been sabotaged it would have been a different ball game...

    Listening to Vigil tell it it seems that doing that small change so the Keepers took them decades of study, and it's likely that figuring out how to leave a message that any race finding the Citadel would find in time (the Council had no clue their chamber was where you gain root control of the...

    Yes, on a planet that was their high tech research hub for centuries or more (and Vigil's explanation that he's been monitoring only the chatter of the ships that just arived was weak, they really should have just said he's been listening in for centuries to random signals that got to him to...

    So I was just replaying Mass Effect 1 and...

    Wait, i'm pretty sure it a big plot point that no one actually understands the Prothean language... remember when Shepard can understand that broken message when he's opening those gates to the tunnel that lead to the Conduit, but no one else, including Liara, can? So maybe they did try to...

    Why is Neverwinter Night 2, one of the greatest games, shunned by so many gamers of this forum.

    Because they didn't wait for more patches before starting it?! BTW, that's my 1st rule when it comes to Obsidian... WAIT FOR PATCHES before purchase, they never seem able to ship game without major bugs!!!! But their stories are better then Bioware's most of the time (and Kreia was brilliant).

    Poll: Does 0.999.. equal 1 ?

    Eh... no. Zero wasn't even used in early math because it was always nothing... and until they got to math complex enough to need a number signifying nothing (like an object at rest when doing something with speed, thus it would have no speed) it wasn't needed. So zero isn't infinitely...

    Poll: What is the answer to 48/2(9+3)?

    I think we all believe you, but the thing is that it's just a notation, and mistaking those to be set in stone like math is is just a bad idea... and would lead you to assume that aliens that have technology to break the laws of physics as we know them to get here (assuming no generation ship...

    Poll: What is the answer to 48/2(9+3)?

    Funny, i never even saw anyone using 2(x+y) in anything until ar least late highschool... and the symbol for multiplication was never * , but x... not that you understand what i'm getting at... But yes, the lack of any other symbol is a good point, but besides the point for what i was...

    Poll: What is the answer to 48/2(9+3)?

    And i've been saying it for only about 10 pages... But Crippling Overspecialisation is very hard to overcome:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CripplingOverspecialization "Lol" is in teh official dictionary now, so that seems likely, even if it will take longer then language...
