Other games I guess? Graphics are killer, great storyline thus far.

What more can you tell us about it?

Play Alpha Protocol.

There appears to be a hot girl in it with piercings and purple hair.

I will give it a retry.

Thats the one girl you can't sleep with in the game lol.

You can get raped while tied to a chair by a german chick though.

Nothing you haven't seen in the trailers or anything I can spoil. Unless you aren't planning on playing it. The main antagonist is General Deathshead and this game takes place in an alternate reality where the Nazi war machine swept through Europe and conquered the world.

I've already read Fatherland. Also, it appears there's no supernatural elements, so I may pass.

B... but mods?

Also, is the German chick hot? If so, sign me up.

No supernatural elements thus far. Except for the fact that they've built the equivalent of terminators during WWII. We'll see.

Someone needs to do a thread like this for Star Wars.

Escatado in VG subforums indicated there were none at all. It seems to be a kind of WWII meets I don't know... post-steam punk? It may actually be a really great game, but without co-op, supernatural elements, or a lower price tag, I can't bring myself to play it anytime soon. As it is, it took a month of intermittent downloading to get all 180+ Steam games on my new harddrive. I haven't even played half of them yet.

No, it would devolve into bias and bickering. The hierarchy is not as well defined as it is in the Marvel-verse, shocking as that may seem.

Yea, definitely steam punk. I just chainsaw tortured a guy to death. Lol

Rated M for mature.

Giggles while chainsawing a dude.

I may have psychological problems. They didn't show me actually sawing this dude in pieces. Damnit.

Fair enough. Regardless though, a rogue who's targeted by the enemy isn't a good rogue. And bears should be beefy enough to take punishment.
You rarely fight just one guy though. And what if they have AOE attacks? Also, monster classes alone are not enough to compensate for the fact that you are likely several class levels below the rest of the party to compensate for the starting physical advantage.

Frankly though... How did he make this bear PC? I am pretty sure there are no rules for it, and more importantly their intelligence is capped at like a 2, unless it's an animal companion, but if it's an animal companion it can't take levels in bluff. This sounds like a case of outright breaking the rules.

Here you go.

That thing can simply walk into Mordor.

Fatherland is actually amazing. Harris' best book, in my opinion. There was also another hypothetical historical I loved featuring Napoleon but I cannot remember the name at all.

Hrm. I can't think of it either. But Fatherland was solid. The HBO adaptation left a bit to be desired however. They completely botched the ending.

Spoiler:
Did they leave it open to the viewer, like they did in the book? Does he find the bricks, check the gun, and then goes toward the "silent trees?" I thought that was brilliant. How do you botch that?

I didn't even know there was an adaptation, to be honest.

How didn't 'U' know that?

Level Adjustment: --

Can't play one. 👆

Int 3 means it could theoretically learn to speak though.
