I'm curious what your rating would be without the existence of the Isle of Bigail.

Well, given that there are seven plagues total (assuming you count Giants & Trogs separately, and include Vahkhos's undead plagues), that'd be effectively removing 1/7 of the game. The revised rating should come out to be 7.714285714, give or take .000000001.

I won't even think about what it'd be like if you factor in the legendary weapon quests, the rakshasa, the vahnatai proper, and the Cult of the Sacred Item.

It's good to hear that the protagonist of GF4 will be a non-Shaper; one can only hope that this is used to good effect.

Ah well, at least it's an Alice line I didn't know as opposed to one I did.

It's a song from the Disney movie of Alice in Wonderland. It's possibly also a reference to an infamous incident during the rule of Romanian dictator Nikolai Ceaucescu in which he ordered that the leaves of dying trees be painted green in order to make the country appear more prosperous.

And thus you're reducing life to something that can be bought... which just seems twisted to me. The way I see it, life extending treatments shouldn't be developed, particularly when it nears immortality. It's just asking for trouble...

(note: In this context, I just mean treatments that prolong human life past the point where a person would die of "natural causes," i.e. not a disease. Life extensions for the pure sake of living longer are a bit worthless and unethical... as Dikiyoba said, who wants to live that long anyway?)

I'm not proud of it, honest.

I want Firefox, sure enough, but have not the space/time/motivation to do it.

One day, I promise.

Or maybe if I get a laptop....*shrug*

No plot similarity there, in my opinion.

Do you distinctly remember checking timestamps? On this newfangled internet, stuff gets added to, and other stuff gets outdated.

Obviously, the demographics only counted people who answered the survey, and they only counted people who answered the survey BEFORE they were tabulated! C'mon folks.
