Current diversity metagame has Trans as the trump card, after all, so I think we know who'd win the court of public opinion.

So I just saw American Sniper. That was a great movie,  the ending hit me a lot harder then I thought it would, but damn that was great movie.

DA: Keep? More like "Keep this idea around for every RPG ever, amirite?"

F'real, though, this is probably one of whoever-had-this-idea's best ideas. Perhaps not this exact setup (perhaps just going off of options at the beginning of each game) but....well, ME3 would have a lot more replay value (considering its wide array of class options and whatnots) if you didn't have to play all three to be able to play without the world-state being "fucked as shit"

It's sort of philosophical, when you think about it.

You, The Father, shape the world for the coming of Your Son the PC. 

Or the world is of infinite possibility, and by your presence you carve away what may be from what is like a careless logger stripping the branches from a tree.

Men and women, children and parents and Gods and Armies reduced to mere pastel images, but a mouse-click from oblivion. And your avatar is sent forth, surveying the land as it yet shakes from the judgement your hand has passed upon it. And this incarnation's only voice, the only verdict the huddled and cowering masses of the judged shall ever receive, is the blade, or spell, or word of the immortal, resurrecting thing that walks among them like a lion among wolves; like a dragon among men. A god among mortals.

So, yeah. It's a nifty little feature.

fuck EA

In a butt

And then make it a romance option in the next Bioware game.

Ten points to Gryffindor Scienza.

Essentially, a reconstruction/justification of the anime/fantasy classic of skimpily-clad women fighting giant monsters with ridiculous, massive weapons. In essence, it's about professional dragonslayers (though they can deal with other monsters as well). They forgo armor, as the heaviest armor is pretty much tinfoil to a dragon or giant, in favor of mobility and staying cool while fire is being breathed at you--some go so far as to go shirtless or partly so. This has the added benefit of making it easier to climb or scale the mountains and valleys that dragons, giants, and other beasts call home--and, for that purpose, slayers are likely to have both rope and climbing gear (such as a pair of picks and specialized footwear) on hand--the paired climbing axes/picks also come in handy for dealing with bandits and other mundane threats, as their weapons--which can range from large, unique swords to customized polearms--are largely specialized towards dealing with massive, armored, or otherwise unusual foes and are of little use in prolonged conflict against ordinary men.

To elaborate on this idea:

Yeah, this sorta shit all pops into my head over the course of hours, but god forbid I can actually put a storyline together.

Birdman!:

@Frost
I've always found that the best way to turn worldbuilding into story is to just start writing a short story with the plan being to show a process of the world (hunting a dragon, maybe, or a harvesting a dead one) with a twist that creates suspense (the dragon's got a cult, say, or the harvesters find they have rivals after the same corpse). Fill it up with an interesting cast of characters you enjoy writing, set it in a place you like to describe, and strike while the iron is hot.

[Frost]

That's some pretty solid advice, Cobalt. Hell, I gotta adjust my sleep schedule to the night shift anyway, and DA: I's taking about a goddamn year to download, so I might as well give it a little ol' whirl while the brain-juices are still splooged everywhere.

[Guest]

Glad I could help; good luck, and have fun!

Ouch, caught by the principle. 

Hope he didn't throw the book at 'em.

Anyone get a Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate demo code? A friend of mine sent me one and I heard it has online co-op. Could be a lot of fun.

[Scienza]

Well played, Michelle Czajkowski:

Huh, I wonder if the rules of Kickstarter allow you to create a kickstarter to fund a specific tier reward for another kickstarter. You might be able to put your talents as shipmistress to use.

Let's do it:

Fuckin' Scrub. 

AvaXWrathia 4 lyfe

[Scienza]

That works too.

It's better than the Ava/Odin shippers.

[Frost]

Get that nasty close-to-canon heterosexual bullshit outta here.

Canon ships are the world's biggest turn-off. 

That's why I'm all about that MaggiexAvaxWratiahxPetri OTF life.

[O. Hinds]

personal ramble:

I'm sorry for your loss.

[Frost]

You know what bugs me?

You got Fighters' guilds, Mages' guilds, smithing guilds in some works... Hell, you got guilds for shady shit like monster/cultist hunting and straight-up illegal shit like thieving and assassination. 

Fuck all that noise. I wanna join the Bandit's Guild. I wanna step out onto the backroads, my fellow counter-adventurers by my side as we kindly let our foes that coming here is a thing that they should never have done. You remember the part where you fall down and bleed to death? Damn right you do. Because it's this part. Right now. 

Also, I want a harem anime or dating sim focusing on adorable Daedra girls in Oblivion High. From the feisty tsundere Dremora to the cheerful moe Winged Twilights, you'll meet the immortal, Eldritch monster of your dreams.

[Stringtheory]

Daedra girls

Those exist?

You're on the internet, this particular part of the internet, and you're asking that question...of course they exist.

[O. Hinds]

By the way, I've a question for Harmony and Frost, if you don't mind. I assumed that you must have thought about the concept of gender a lot before coming to your recent conclusions and thus may have some insight on it. Would you say that my current understanding of it as a set of hardware drivers is accurate? If not, what do you think gender is?
