OK, I'll take a more serious stab at the question. I imagine that they both taste like medicine, but I'll be a bit more specific than just that. Health potions I imagine being like slightly thin cherry-flavored cough syrup with just a tiny bit of iron-tang. It's cloyingly sweet with that...

To each their own, I guess. Wasn't to my taste. That said, I now fill the bottles with vodka and blue food coloring, which I contend is preferable, albeit far less thematically appropriate.

I can't speak to health potions, but mana potions are kind of nasty. Like an energy shot, but a little less well blunted by artificial flavors. http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/a273/

Mmf. Forgot about Nephenee. That... might actually be a better answer for me.

Y'know, for something purely physical, I can't deny it... Makes me feel a bit shameful, though. With criteria even the slightest bit more substantive, she'd be out. But lust is lust. I may never have actually liked her, she's always been... well... what she is.

Final Fantasy VI. That said, Arcanum: of Magick and Steamworks Obscura came pretty damn close.

She says she's not the "girl's club" type as a way of telling you to stop trying to be pals with her, but they give the sense that Shepard's advances are platonic in nature and that Jack's responding to them as such. Neither of them seems to place any sort of romantic or sexual notions on the...

Nor could you romance a same-gendered Tali or Garrus, despite the fact that their feelings for you were based on a wealth of feelings and history transcended SPECIES. Garrus: "Well, I don't generally go for humans, and our body tissues are essentially poison to each other, but I respect and...

Troika's back.

I'm mostly baffled that a developer gets past Valve -- and looks like it'll get past Bioware -- based on a single major work, no matter how excellent.

Honestly, it's hard to imagine why they -would- bribe or cajole you when you had no power to prevent the transformation of your review into something almost entirely different. Criticism was removed and praise was added without need for any bribing or cajoling to take place (at least as far as...

Oh, Yahtzee. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I haven't said anything because I dislike posting in forums. But now I'm finally gonna say it, and the fact that you'll probably never end up reading it doesn't change the fact that I'll be glad to have finally gotten it out and...

"Oh, the water levels aren't so bad once you get the frog suit...."

A monstrous set of spaceship-mounted guns. My ally is another weaponized spaceship, albeit one with slightly less firepower than me. I think I'll be OK.

I didn't use Grunt with my primary Shepard because she refused to accept the responsibility for what his release might mean for the Krogan and/or galaxy just to have a slightly stronger squad. All of my other Shepards did, though. Also: only 18 percent play FemShep? Really? But the voice...
