How about no resaves. The game automatically saves at certain points and only allows you to reload from that point forward. Why? To prevent people from "cheating" the game.

So is it that computer obsolescence only really starts to cut in hard sometime after 5 years, or that computer obsolescence has slowed dramatically now compared to 10 years ago, or that 21st century Macs in particular have attained a sort of quality plateau where obsolescence is slower for them than for other machines?

Around here, it's acknowledged as something underhanded and against the rules, but insinuating someone did it doesn't get a reaction as if you'd accused them of murder or something. :P

Please, Israel has more than enough equipment to level Iran. Everyone knows it, why do you think all of the Middle East rallies around destroying Israel. It's not about the holy land, it's about Israel being a threat.

Is it true that "plagiarism" has a stigma in American culture that is even worse than "theft" or "felony"? It's certainly a lot worse than mere "copyright violation" or "piracy"...

Anyone know what the base damage for the Firebolt spell is? Is it any better than the basic thorn baton?

BTW, tell me if I understand this correctly: each level of appropriate Attribute and Skill adds one die to weapon damage, correct? So if a javelin is base 4-24 (4d6), with 2 Dexterity and 2 Missile it does 8-48 (8d6)? The manual is a bit unclear...

Interestingly, according to the book Freakonomics, there's been a strong corrolation between an increase in the availability of abortion (read: decrease in unwanted pregnancies coming to term) and a decrease in criminal activity in the last thirty years.

This rebellion has caused the Shapers to change their ways, to become less strict with creations, and kinder. This rebellion may have done much of what the Serviles wanted in the first place.

Me and Drakey have already decided that he's doing it on purpose. The final tell was when he said something like 'snivelization.' Sometimes his misspellings are too good to be true.

I like most secret passages as well. They're easy to spot (unlike hidden levers and chests) because there's an empty area and a spell that will help you find it.
