Bullshit like this is why the IT industry is a crapshoot >.>
It's corporate greed at its finest. All I have to say is, well, you get what you pay for, as they're about to find out.

All of our letters or written anythings are just bullshit. We look at funny shapes and lines and pixel arrangements that have meaning only because we've given them meaning. this is just too rich, coming from one of the most pedantic users i've ever met
80% of all arguments (that you've levied against me, anyway) were based on semantics
unless i'm thinking of naoto
you're basically the same person to me
That's completely irrelevant and didn't even reject my central claim.

He'll give everyone religious freedom, so long as they're not Argonian or Dunmer. Equality for everyone! Just some people are more equal than others.
okay first the Argonians aren't even religious, 2nd there is no implication at all that Ulfric intends to stop the Dunmer from worshipping their gods.
Then why are Argonians pretty much not allowed into Windhelm? And the Dunmer pushed into the 'Grey Quarter' (previously the Snow Corner but changed because racism)?

Metroid Prime Trilogy has some of the best FPS controls on the Wii. It's a shame we didn't get more (good) games like it.

Because he's waking the dragons, and the last time that happened the world was in peril.
And we don't get that feeling because, as everyone previously agreed, Bethesda sucks at writing.
I'm not sure if it's the writing so much as Skyrim being a static world and nothing bad would ever actually come of ignoring the story and not being a hero.
Very early on in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the player character is called in to resolve a hostage crisis. His boss tells him that he needs to leave in like 15 minutes or bad things might start happening. If you take too long to leave, you'll find out that the hostages were killed.
Nothing like that would ever happen in Skyrim, because the game doesn't care to be that ambitious.
Even in games where nothing will happen when you dilly-daddle, they can still create the illusion of pressure. You just never get that feeling in Skyrim because the writing isn't good enough to provoke that feeling.
Writing doesn't go far enough. Any game can try to do that, but there needs to be tangible consequences, or else it doesn't mean anything.
You're not wrong about the writing, though >.> just, the gameplay could use a step up, too.
Of course tangible consequences are a big part, but that doesn't mean the writing isn't also at fault for the lack of build and tension.
But the gameplay is more important here. Every game tries to create tension with the writing (ie: a "time limit" that doesn't actually exist), and the tension goes out the window once the gameplay doesn't hold up. Writing alone can only do so much, and is not the be-all and end-all of drama. Skyrim's a shallow 'role-playing game' that doesn't bother to do justice to the writing >.>

I haven't played much of 1942 at all, so I can't say anything about that >.>
But of the games I have played--2142 through Battlefield 4--I felt like Bad Company 2 had the best maps.

I'm not stoked about watching a show that's desperately riding the coattails of Breaking Bad's success, centered around a somewhat amusing character.
Family Guy did that with Cleveland Show, loom how well that went
Except Saul is actually a good, funny character.
He is, but I'm not interested in a show centered around him entirely
I was a bit skeptical too, but then I remembered there's still the supporting characters like Mike Ehrmantraut. I'm curious more than anything to see how it turns out >.>

Probably, yeah. But Amiibo's have been selling out like crazy so this is just Nintendo printing more money for themselves >.>

It wouldn't be voluntary, it'd be forced. That's the only way for it to be possible.
That's not true; it's logically possible for a species to voluntarily go extinct. There's no contradiction there.
I mean, it's possible, but it's extremely unlikely to happen, which I think is what Nuka's getting at.
We're discussing concepts here, not probable implementation. "Likeliness" has nothing to do with the question.
I'm not disputing that.
Okay then. I just thought I'd restate what Meta said with less fancy vocabulary to see if more people would understand that. >_>
Thanks for your concern <.<
