Humour tends to be in the eyes of the beholder, I found the wisecracking Hawke to be quite humorous at times. There's also several points where the conversation depends entirely on what you've been...

German citizens in allied countries certainly did suffer suspicion and arrest, particularly in Britain (although to be fair with the Luftwaffe dropping spies, Nazi party members and of course downed...

Not half as much as it would if we got over our disgust at eating other people.

Only real problem there is that kids put up for adoption tend to have issues due to the adoption thing, so in effect a gay couple is starting out with a handicap to begin with.
Personally I tend to...

I think DA2 had some of the best characterisation Bioware have yet managed. Hawke probably is the flattest of the bunch, but then I'd guess that's down to it being a lot harder to write for a...

Kinda the opposite to be honest; most old buildings are identical precisely because it's cheaper, quicker and easier to make them that way. It's only relatively recently we've been able to do much...

Which are not the same thing. Steam is not just pure DRM, it also bundles social services, updates et al into the deal. Gamersgate requires a one-time activation for it's games, and gives you money...

We once had a four way brawl break out over a game of Rex. Hilariously enough triggered by the temporary ceasefire card.

It's Microsoft rather than you being absolutist :) Point being, if I buy a PC and decide I don't like Steam, I can quite easily move to Gamersgate, Origin et al, or for that matter start writing my...

Which is silly, unless you're arguing if you dislike Steam you should move to Linux or Mac OS. If you buy an Xbox One, every single game has to run through Microsoft. If you have a PC, you need never...

Why not? Surely the one thing which sets your desktop apart from say a smartphone or console is the fact you can go out, buy any CPU, ram, graphics card etc, put it in your machine and have it work?...

I always knew Windows Server was just an elaborate hoax. Actually that does explain quite a lot ...

Don't Apple still use firmware locks on their components? Because it seems to me that would be...

I wouldn't agree there :P Flanking is the most important mechanic in combat - if you have a character on the opposite side of the one you're attacking both characters get bonus melee damage (which...

None of it was ripped from AVWWW.

It's somewhat hard to explain, although it is interesting so far. Essentially you have a random map (which continues to grow each turn) and you're responsible...

It's the prosperity level rather than the rate of increase. As the towns expand you'll see greed start to grow unless it's checked by danger or awe. It'll shoot up if the town rapidly grows, but...

Nah, they're linked to the ambassador type. Each settlement type (forest, desert and swamp) has a different ambassador and the giant skills require specific ambassador types to unlock. For the forest...

There already is. I can't remember the last time I saw a diet soft drink advert which didn't involve some Atlas getting his shirt off for some reason. In fact I'm pretty sure most of the celebrity...

Age of Pirates is ok, though the translation is a bit ropey. Best pirate game ever imho was Cuthroats: Terror on the High Seas

Yup, but since you have no actual entitlement to support in the first place, and they probably don't actually care whether you can play your game or not, the onus is on you to not piss them off. They...

King of the Monsters?

Erm, most programs go through a development cycle of several years, and generally development only stops on a program when it's no longer used, at which point you've been working on the successor for...

They'd probably struggle due to the license.

There's also the three Star Fleet Command games, they're real time combat, based on the old SFB wargame.

Why? There's two problems with that. The first is that in any area where subjective judgement is equally or more important than objective judgement you're going to have people who dislike or like...

I think we could equally say if the game only cost a cent those million downloaders would have bought it, at which point we're agreeing with the basic premise that each download is a lost sale, we're...
