Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

Tsk. PC players. Too caught up in their fancy shmancy graphics and mods to play with their peasant friends.


Did I not just finish saying I was down for Gears 3? D:

I know Jenno has Halo 4, we were playing that a few months back.

I have two shitloads of mods. I don't know which one it could be, though. And, yea, I used to be able to run Skyrim with zero crashes...or, well, one in a blue moon. Now, it's just acting weird on me. I'm thinking of wiping everything and starting over. Talos knows that Mod Manager would appreciate getting a few mods uninstalled that are never used.


Yeah, you have a load conflict. I think there's a thing called BOSS or whatever where it tells you if all the mods are installed correctly and which ones may be causing issues and CTD issues. I had the same problem and figured it out over the course of an hour and a half of trial and error.

I wish I could play Skyrim without it crashing on me after Character Creation.


Some people, clearly, weren't meant to be the Dragonborn.

I'm kinda surprised it doesn't work for you, especially since you run Red Orchestra 2/ Rising Storm with no difficulty. Did you have a shitload of mods or something?

But despite the few appearances you do spend the entirety of the game chasing after him and trying to stop him, seeing the results of his actions along the way. You don't need to see much of a villain for them to be captivating. The more I think about it, the more I realise that in many games you don't see much of the main bad guys/bosses.


While you're busy tracking him down, there's not a lot to him that makes him particularly noteworthy outside of his indoctrination, other than he's anti-human and completely ruthless even before he's indoctrinated. Throw in that one book and comic and he gets fleshed out considerably more, even so far as to show you what happened on Anderson's mission with him. Good stuff.

A good villain is not one who makes allot of appearances, kills tons of people, or has a fleshed out story. Those help, but a villain needs to make sense to me, they just need to fit the story the same way the protagonist does. Saren is the ultimate anti-Shepard, he is a person, Illusive is a symbol for Cerberus .I also just have a thing for fallen-paladins.


I wouldn't exactly call him a fallen paladin, despite his reputation as a Spectre. As I mentioned, he's an established human hater and that mission with Anderson ended up with Saren killing hundreds of innocent people to get to his target. His motivation and goals were always pretty clear, even though the specifics as to why weren't readily apparent until your encounter on Virmire. Don't get me wrong, he's a great character and he certainly set the standard going into the other two games, but I suppose I thought Harbinger was a bit more meaningful to the trilogy and his presence is undeniable. TIM is also good for other reasons, and I am pretty pleased with myself for calling him being indoctrinated right after I finished ME2. The BioWare forums didn't seem to think that theory made sense, which makes me wish I could have bumped my thread there after ME3 came out with a Nelson laugh.
I strongly considered Saren, but then I realized he only makesa handful of appearances in the game and you fight him twice. I honestly thought the Illusive Man was a far more captivating antagonist.
I am fine with the skip, I think everyone has had a chance to establish themselves.

Just out of curiosity, how does everyone pronounce Qara'Sion's name?


Quor-ah See-on.

Oka- waaaiitaminute...And why hasn't anyone given me their gamer tag or sent me a friend request on xbox live? You guys are jerks.


Sorry! I was actually going to ask you and Drippah.

Mine's Doctor Dervs on Steam, and Stormwulfe on XBLive, although I don't play on live much anymore. Although, if anyone else has Gears of War 3, I'd love to try to do another Level 50 Horde run.

1. Darth Vader (Star Wars)I mean come on. How has this not been posted yet? Darth Vader *consistently* has better international recognition than the president of the United States.


Darth Vader's a shoe in for a solid and obvious choice. I thought some variety would be nice, personally.
