There's court precedence for drivers being employees, but so far it isn't applicable to anyone but a single driver.

Thats a shitty looking inventory

That's not the inventory, that's a screen to put stuff on the table.

Fallout 4's narrative has a lot more branching paths and overlapping of "if that than this" than Fallout 3. They want the game to handle all the fail states of missions instead of forcing players to reload saves.

This is awesome. I hope they can deliver on this.

The Flood / Re: So I'm homeless again.

I wouldn't really call living with a friend while you pick out a place 'homeless'. Best of luck, though. I really enjoyed home-hunting the first time.

I just can't sympathize with the "stripped away/watered down RPGelements" arguments. An RPG to me is something that immerses me in the character by allowing me to decide his actions and fate, as well as his appearance, fighting style, and attitude. Know what doesn't do that for me? Clicking endless menus and increasing skills by percentage points. Know what actually does that for me? Polished sandbox experiences, smooth and integrated menus that don't constantly disrupt the flow of gameplay, and roleplaying elements built into the gameplay in meaningful ways rather than feeling like I'm tweaking a spreadsheet.

LC, I'm sorry you feel like the series is casualized. Morrowind was my first real PC game, and I can tell you that I don't miss silly, RNG-style combat, endless menu dialog, and superfluous skills. I've enjoyed Oblivion and Skyrim, as well as Fallout 3 and NV, and that's coming from the same "hard" RPG background. This same conversation has been going on ad nauseam here. Give it a rest.

No, IQ is an indicator, and a pretty arbitrary one at that.

Diablo 3. Playing Fallout 2 right now, so that counts. Played TES: Arena, and I suppose Runescape probably counts.
Isnt Diablo in the ARPG side of things though

Frankly, I don't really give a shit.

It's immensely slow with almost no action, and that includes the witty dialog between certain characters. Cersei's my favorite, and I really love how bitchy she is to Margaery. Sam shouldn't even be in the book, and Arya's scenes are basically the same thing repeated over and over. I totally get that he's solidifying the major characters and setting up the narrative for drastic change to come. I really get it. But his 1-3 are very dynamic and suspenseful; I feel none of that here.
I get what you mean. It doesn't have the pace that the other books, especially ASOS, had. If he'd split it chronologically instead of based on character location it'd probably be better. I'm enjoying it more from a lore perspective I suppose, with the knowledge that I'll be reading ADWD like immediately after I finish.

What you got against Sam? (Although I must admit to finding him quite boring; he's pretty much just a vehicle for the plot).

Sam's my nig, but he does very little.

Maybe it's because I haven't had much time to read and it's very painful a couple chapters at a time.
What is it you don't like about the book specifically? Just the fact that it's slow-going?

Have you enjoyed any of the story arcs? I'm liking Cersei's and Jaime's at the moment. Although the amount of characters makes it rather broken-up.

80% through book 4. I would almost recommend skipping it and reading the Wikipedia summary. Or skip the first half or something. It's such a shitty book, I can't even comprehend how GRRM pulled it off after such a good start in 1-3.
Really?

I'm about halfway through AFFC. I'm enjoying it thus far. Although the Brienne storyline and the shit in Dorne feel a bit slow.

That said, though, I'm looking forward to ADWD much more for Jon and Davos's storylines.

Maybe it's because I haven't had much time to read and it's very painful a couple chapters at a time. Dorne is basically nonexistent after that first shitstorm, and Brienne just spends the entire book wandering around the forest occasionally murdering some assholes.

I want them to use their animus magic to put the minds of Ezio, Altair, and Edward into modern-day people and have them kick some ass. I don't care if it doesn't make sense or breaks canon.

The issue is that currently it's flying above the state and national flags.

Where? Nothing goes above the national flag, regardless of its cultural significance. That's a disgrace.

Well, duh. It's obvious Stannis ain't dead.

He might as well be, though, given what they've done to his character. How far are you through the books, now?

It's such a shitty book, I can't even comprehend how GRRM pulled it off after such a good start in 1-3. And I use the term "shitty" relatively; it's still great characterization and depth, but it felt like he left the parking brake on after the rising action of book 3.

There is literally no source for this except for a Tumblr post.
I backtraced the original screencap to PBS's website, and there's also a mention of it on moviepilot.

No, you saw that the url said "pbs.twimg", which means someone tweeted the screencap to PBS at some point, because they sure as hell don't have it on their feed. So PBS isn't the source.

Also, his sister's name is Sarah Dillane, and she lives in Australia. And she is distinctly alive and unburnt.

Fallout 3 was good.
Fallout NV was better.
Fallout 4 looks great.
Suck my dick.

Tons of dialog =/= complexity or quality

It's amazing how we've gone from wanting voice actors and role playing integrated into gameplay instead of menu screens, to bitching that we're not reading thousands of lines of dialog to progress a story.

Well no, the water is from the same source but because of all the chemicals and bacteria the toilet is exposed to it's obviously less clean.
I mean, the experiment has been replicated so many times, and the result is always in favor of toilet water being cleaner, so I mean...

The experiments test almost exclusively for e coli. Know where else e coli is found? Fucking everywhere. And I mean that literally. Know what's not found everywhere? Bleach and ammonia, commonly found in toilet bowls. So either the toilet was recently cleaned and is littered with cleaning products, or it wasn't cleaned recently and has fecal material in addition to those cleaning agents.

So far I've played an hour and a half.

Ship destroyed 3 times, crew killed in another when the oxygen ran out. Hell on my first ship I nearly killed the crew by opening all the doors and nearly suffocating them.

I like to keep all unoccupied rooms vented in case of boarders.
