It looks great, I'll wait for the windows version. :)

Can we switch between 2D/3D mode? If true, it would be very useful: we could preview our map's look in the editor. Plus, it would make easier to build elevations, etc.

I'm just worried about the game being made for both PCs and consoles. Look what happened to DeusEX 2, for example.

And can't imagine Fallout 1 and 2 in a console, so I won't be expecting much from Fallout 3.

Thank you both. My question was answered. :)

Of course I won't ask about gender, as the only thing in the game that tells you're a female or a male character is the picture you've chosen.

So this can be tricky, if you're planning a scenario for a male main PC. :)

Surely I don't agree with what you said, and could explain why, but I (finally IMAGE(wink0006.gif) ) noticed that no one cares. And this is a game forum, not theology or religious, so I won't bother (me and you) anymore writting about this subject.

Let's just say that what is said is said, anyone can reflect on this. This ends my participation in this topic. IMAGE(smile00A.gif)

No. IMAGE(smile00A.gif) I clearly say that I think homosexuality is unnatural, in te sense that it goes agains't God's plan and will. But I also defend we all have the same rights, and that religious beliefs should not be mixed with civil laws.

I wouldn't like that the State would force me to be part of a religion, for example, or that forbid me to be part of a certain religion, another example.

Second, we are all God's children, we are all imperfect, we all sin. But that's not a motive to not love each other. And who loves, respects, even if we don't agree with certain aspects.

2Sa 1:26 I am distressed over you, my brother Jonathan. You were very delightful to me; your love was wonderful to me, more than the love of women.
So? Are you trying to imply here that there was a gay relationship here?

From here we could ask one thing: what kind of love would surpass the love of a woman? (And note that he doesn't say it like the love of a woman, that would indeed be more ambiguous)

The loyalty and intense compromise that moulded Davi's and Johnathan's friendship were rare between men and pratically inexistent between women and men. For men, in general, women were inferior, being wifes considered property. Johnathan loved Davi as his own soul and shared with him his belongings - mantle (cloack?), tunic and even his bow and sword, valious belongings for a warrior (I Sam 18:1-4). The pact of friendsip that they firmed stood unshakeable, even when Johnathan had to defend Davi from his father, the king Saul (I Sam 19:4,5).

Now, when Jesus said we have to love eachother, will you say we have to love like a man loves his wife? IMAGE(wink0006.gif) IMAGE(biggrin5.gif)

quote:
Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved, through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;
Eph 2:9 not of works, that not anyone should boast;
That's right. We are saved by Jesus. So that's why we have to have faith in Him. Who sinns and doesn't repent doesn't have faith in Jesus. The condmnable thing here is not only the sins in itself, but the fact that there is no repentance. There's no sin that God can't forgive, except the one you don't repent.

About the remaining, I'll post the article I've been talking about lately. So that we can clarify the law issue. IMAGE(smile00A.gif)

ef, please, quote everything:

No direct mention of homosexuality. There's nothing that says there wasn't either. So let's stay true to the Word of God: Rom 1:26-27. Remember that MEN tried to rape men (they didn't knew they were angels), so there was homosexualism in Sodom, so it's likely that that was one of the motives for Sodom's condemnation.

Now let me imitate you:

If you define "pro-homo" as homosexual relationships being as societally acceptable as heterosexual relationships, then yes, I think that language otherwise is, in my mind's eye, bashing, because you are in your mind condemning their rights to be happy in an intimate way, a right they likely don't begrudge you and your hetero partner.

I'm not condemning, just showing what th Bible says about the subject. I'm sorry it isn't what you expected or what you wanted. Anyway, I even said in a previous post that I agree with civil marriage between homosexuals. Homosexuals have the same civil rights and it's up to them how they want to live. But when they say that the Bible says it's ok, then I have to interfere, as that's a lie. God condemns homosexuality. If you say: I don't care, then that's alright, just as I won't be bashing people who don't believe in God. But if you say you care, and then try to make it look like it's aceptable to God, when it's clear that isn't, then I have to interfere, as I just can't see a lie uncontested. That's going agains't my beliefes, that's bashing the Word of God.

So it's nothing personal, it's not gay-bashing, it's just trying to seek the truth.

quote:
Where does Jesus say this is sin?
Jesus is God. God says it's a sin. But if you say Jesus is not God, then you should take in consideration 2 factors:

1 - Jesus told us what is natural: man + woman. If it's not like that, that's not like Jesus thinks it's natural.

2 - If you think Jesus is not God, then you should respect more God's word (which is the same as Jesus, but even more clear): homosexuality is an error and an abomination.

quote:
But would you have a constitutional amendment prevent their marriage, or have it be illegal in a state? What harm do they do you? What do you fear?

Again, it's clear you didn't read all my posts. As I said: homosexuals should have the same rights as heterosexuals. No discrimination. I favour civil marriage between homosexuals (but not religious, as it would be hypocrisy to religiously marry what is an abomination to God). Etc.

It just looks like that you don't even care about what I say. You just labeled me as a gay basher, with no reason, an flame me. You're the basher here. You're the one who's giving a bad example.

Leviticus 20:13 - This appears to be identical to Leviticus 18:22 except that the death penalty is added
Rad my answer to the other verse. And read what I wrote in my post above. IMAGE(smile00A.gif)

quote:
Deuteronomy 23:17
Nothing to say. It's not directly about homosexuals, but prostitution. Just a note:

qadesh = male temple prostitute

quote:
Judges 19:14-29
If rape was the only evil thing, then why would the levite give her virgin daughter and the concubine to be raped? You say it's because it is worse to rape a man than a woman. Now, is it because it would be more humiliating? Or was it because of homosexuality? It's true that women were treated like property in those times. So the levite, doing his own justice (read c17:6, in those times they did their own justice, as there was no ruler), he prefered to avoid homosexual rape and give the women. Would he give his own daughter just to avoid the man's humiliation?

Anyway, these verses were not pointed by me i my posts. There are other more clear.

quote:
Romans 1:26-27
quote:
(...)
Now you don't let the Bible interpret the Bible. You say what others think. Try to discredit Paul, etc. But no Bible evidence or support. It's clearly trying to discredit the verses, instead of understanding them. But let's continue:

quote:
So they abandoned what was their normal behavior and tried gay sex.
Here, you (or who wrote the article) tries to say that if you born gay, then that's your natural sexual orientation, so it can't be compared to those who go agains't nature, because being gay it's natural for that gay born. (Or something).

But you are not judged by your own rules, but by God's Justice. God made man to unite women and have children. Jesus repeated that man unites with woman. That's the natural way. So it doesn't matter if you born gay. It's not natural. Remember that the Bible remembers us that we born corrupted, we don't born from God. That's why we have to be baptized, so that we may "born again". This time following the God's natural way (in many subjects).

quote:
As far as the word "against nature" the Greek phrase para physin is inaccurately translated into English as "unnatural" or "against nature" which implies that it is something to be morally condemned. However the word "unconventional" would have been a more precise word for translators to use. M. Nissinen defines para physin as

The word used is phusikos, which means:

1) produced by nature, inborn

2) agreeable to nature

3) governed by (the instincts of) nature

But remember what's the PURE nature of things, as God planned. And remember that we live in a corrupted world, so our own nature isn't the original nature God planned to us. That's why we must "born again".

But I don't even know why all these explanations, as the verses are clear about this:

quote:
(...) men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
quote:
If homosexuality were a horrible sin Paul would have certainly discussed it in depth
He wrote that was an error an abomination to God. Do you think he should have written a whole chapter about it, so that it would be really an rrror and abomination to God? IMAGE(wink0006.gif)

quote:
Their basic error was to leave Pauline Christianity, and engage in idolatry.
That was an error, but the verse about homosexuality refers to homosexuality itself. And all other subjects are enumerated, and all are wrong. If they weren't, Paul wouldn't have wrote them in there. You're trying to throw sand to the eyes... IMAGE(wink0006.gif)

quote:
The reference to what was, for them, unnatural homosexual behavior seems almost incidental, to the story.
Lol. The apostle is listing errors and abomination. But not homosexuality! He just wrote that there as a mistake, he didn't intended to! Well... That's ridiculous to think that way. IMAGE(tongue06.gif)

Just pay attention, from this:

quote:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
He concludes this:

quote:
This verse has NOTHING to do with two members of the same sex being in a loving committed relationship.

Lol. Don't be offended by my laugh. It just seems so obvious...

I'll conclude my reply later. Until then, please, don't reply. Not only because you still not know my full answer, but because I just can't be answering many posts at the same time. Bare with me, please.
