Ever Wonder How Vlish Get Around? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Monday, October 23 2006 15:23 Profile #16 quote: Originally written by Andraste: So, to kill a Vlish all you need to do is throw a lit match behind it? Interesting. You do realize the helium is the most chemically inert element, right? :P -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Avernum Favorites in Avernum 4
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Monday, October 23 2006 15:15 Profile #9 Eh, Avernum was never truly about characters, it was about doing quests, getting loot, and killing things. Erika, Solberg, Bon-Ihrno, and Rentar-Ihrno are the closest we get to actual characters, and there isn't a lot to them other than their primary motivations for what they do. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Ever Wonder How Vlish Get Around? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Monday, October 23 2006 15:12 Profile #12 One thing that's bothered me...So where does the helium in the sacks come from? I mean, it it leaks out, how does the Vlish get more? Does it go down to the grocery store and suck on the tank of helium at the expense of kids not getting their birthday party baloons? -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Future of Geneforge in Geneforge Series
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Monday, October 23 2006 13:48 Profile #6 Implementation and minor plot ideas are probably very much within realm of being used. However, premises for entire games are likely not going to be. The reason is that it's a lot of work to make your own world, but at least you have the creativity of it being your own ideas. To make someone else's is the same amount of work, without the creative side. This I agree with Jeff on. Personally, for the next game, I would like to see something totally different. We know about the Avernites and their plight, we know about the Shapers and their rebel adversaries. However, it would be really nice to start with a whole new world with a different and more fresh background. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

The Bad Get Polling! in Blades of Avernum
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Friday, October 20 2006 18:11 Profile #77 quote: If we presume that the Hiroshima bomber pilot knew what he was doing, then he followed an illegal order (a war crime no less!) and deserves to be hanged. The legal standard is crystal clear on this point. Why it wasn't followed is a matter for political and legal theorists to debate. But the standard is clear. The legality of the bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki are on fiarly firm ground. It's a difficult situation considering the situation of total war (civilians were trained to fight in an invasion too so the lines between civilain and soldier are a bit gray here). There are no easy choices in war, but it came down to lots lost on both sides, or lots lost on theirs. It is quite likely the bombings saved lives in the long run. Add this with the fact that the US was fighting back from a defensive war (Pearl Harbor) against an enemy that refused to surrender and wanted to continue fighting. One could argue the morality a lot of ways. I doubt there were many good choices to end the war within the mindsets of the people fighting it. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Thursday, October 19 2006 18:55 Profile #13 Hard to say. Jeff's audience also contains a lot of old school gamers too, remnants of simpler era long gone.

The Bad Get Polling! in Blades of Avernum
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Thursday, October 19 2006 18:15 Profile #63 quote: i: You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you choose the Empires point of view, Stalker is a villain, but not a very good one, little more than a common rogue, in fact. If you choose a rebel point of view, you have sympathy for him, and thus you diminish his villain status and make him more of a hero. Your trying to put these two together, which is possible, but if you do that, your going to weaken both points of view, making him neither a good villain or hero. I don't think they both weaken each other, they add to each other. Looking at it from both perspectives enhances Stalker. Taking a sum of the two views like they were numbers on the same axis makes little sense. The fact that some people can view him as a hero makes him a better villain/antagonist in my mind. The reason, he's more human and believeable. quote: The Bomb: As an American, the bomb is a black mark on my record. I am harmed by being looked at by the rest of the world as a member of the nation that used it, and thus that is why I harbor enmity. Not that this is any of your business... You were the one to bring the matter up. How can one debate if he/she does not understand your views? -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

The Bad Get Polling! in Blades of Avernum
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Thursday, October 19 2006 17:26 Profile #61 quote: Ah, but then you no longer sympathize with him! The fact that you sympathize with him is the only reason people have given for why he is a good villain. What? I don't understand what you mean here. If I choose, as a player, to take the mindset of someone who dislikes the tyranny of the Empire, I would definitely have sympathy for Stalker. You see, as part of a Role Playing Game, we can take the mindset of someone in the game and divorce ourselves from our personal convictions. quote: Uh... yes! Who ever said the United States was the angel of world politics? I personally have not forgiven them for using the bomb, and I am surprised Japan has. And exactly how were you personally harmed by this such that you have something to forgive? -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!
