So, do you feel sorry enough to not leave your house on nights and weekends? Or do you enjoy the businesses that are open thanks to these employees and are just paying some kind of lip service to the idea?

What's the best way to avoid panic, other than going there during abductions?

3 countries are flipping out, but I never had any chance to help them! (at least not all of them at once)

Satellites will lower panic. Sometimes it is best to not put them up until the country gets near critical. And since this is your first time, you won't be able to save everybody. Pick a continent or two to focus on and screw the rest of the world.

And it has been awhile, but I believe there will be a random country that will leave no matter what you do, story being their government has already been taken over.

Every president does this
Obama talked about Bush plenty of times. He just didn't have the whole Benghazi case to work with other than the fact it took place while he was office. He mentioned the troops in Iraq for at least 2 years. I'm sure Bush did the same with Clinton in some parts.

Eh, not reallyBUT...that is only because they were all working together. Bush Sr. groomed Clinton, and were on good terms with each other, and from what I understand the elections might have well been rigged with the way the machine was set to run during that 25 year period. Bush Jr after Clinton, and then Obama, who is related to the bush family tree.

What Im saying is, since Bush Sr, things have been playing out exactly the way they were engineered, all the way up to the second Hillary lost her campaign. This isnt typical Dem Vs Republican type shit thats been going on since 2016, because everything before that was engineered by the two parties. It genuinely seems that Trump threw a wrench into the gears of their machine. Its a certain group of people linked to the machine, trying to re-engineer everything after a catastrophic accident (trump), and literally sewing discourse on any and every level, any and every issue, dividing and attempting to conquer the situation and bring it back under control. Trump is obviously part of the machine, just not the part that belonged in that particular position, if that makes sense.

The core game can be a bit easier in places. Some of the abilities are quite unbalanced. IIRC, a mid-level sniper with squadsight is completely OP. You could play it to get familiar with the systems.

The biggest danger, IMO, is that after Enemy Within, the base game feels incomplete and I find myself missing a lot of the additions.

Enemy Within is integrated into the main story of Xcom. The missions will pop up at random times like any other attack. New character options are available as soon as you have the research for it.

It's like that other one, that's supposed to be darker, more of a horror Marvel movie, with that goblin looking girl from Game of Thrones. It's been pushed back, being re-shot, and I think it's losing a lot more traction and it didn't have much to begin with.

If that one releases, it will likely be a flop also. I think more people put their faith into the MCU because of how great it has been.

New Mutants. Rumors seem to keep going around that it is never coming out, or will go straight to video, or release streaming only, or it will actually get a theatrical release. Not to mention there is also talk they want to reshoot more and lighten the tone and make it kid friendly, unless it is not true.

Frankly, I think this is a movie I have heard more rumors about than the movie itself.

I still think there should be a division between offline and online.. I'm only mildly entertained by trophies. If I like a game enough I'm go for them. But if there is online trophies I dont even bother

The Mass Effect games did it right. They had a lot of either/or trophies that had either a single player requirement or an online version. Stuff like "reach level 30 in the story or get rank 15 in multiplayer".

interesting. never heard this part.

Version i remember reading comes from the sandman comic books. God first created one being, then separated them into Adam and Lilith, hence why Lilith felt she should be adam's equal. Adam had a bitch fit and got her kicked out. God then made a separate woman, but Adam saw her being formed from the inside out and was repulsed by the thought of her, so she left the garden a virgin. After that is when Adam was put to sleep, had his rib turned into Eve, and that is the version in the bible, only it refers to her as his first wife and not his third.

For me, finally beating Promyvian-Holla in FFXI. Our group tried so many times, and when we finally pulled it off it was amazing. Cutscene played and we were given new zones and areas to play with. About a month or so later, it was announced that the level cap was going to be removed in several of these areas, so doing some of these early missions under the old restrictions made it that much better.

Is there an option to buy it through the game? I know that on playstation, it is sometimes a mess to find dlc from the store but going through the game takes you directly to the page. I was able to get the free DA:O DLC a few months ago so it was still available for PS3 at least. Can't imagine it being any different for the xbox.

Just seemed to be there because "KIDS these days love craftin'!"

Crafting is something I tend to enjoy in games. But with DA:I, it felt too strong at times. It seemed like anything I crafted tended to be way better than random loot I got. I found myself using worse weapons/armor just because I was tired of my character looking the same whenever I crafted a new tier.

On the issue of semantics, check out some potential ice cream you have in your freezer right now. It might not even say ice cream but instead something like "frozen dairy treat". Ice cream has a maximum amount of air that can be included, but there is no regulation on the composition of a frozen dairy treat.

fair enough, but it still doesn't amount to anywhere near enough to make being a Rogue necessary.

although playing a rogue isn't as necessary as it was in DA:O, where you missed out on a fair amount of XP & treasure.

Whatever game designer at Bioware that thought lockpicking should require the same talents points as actual abilities should be shot.

If you're not a Rogue, you have to use Leliana who's already locked into the useless ass archery and Zevran, who's actually good, doesn't have a single point in the lockpicking skill.

DA:O game design was such a mess in so many ways.

Part of my decision to play a rouge in DA:I was because of this, only to find out it wasn't an issue anymore.

As for Origins, it was kind of awkward in that my created MC was practically a twin to Leliana. Think the eye color was the only noticeable difference. Made the romance scene look like twin incest, so maybe a win there?

Well, groups like these often lie with their signs. They'll say it is 11 weeks old, then show some 24 week old miscarried fetus. Plus, some images are just gross and shouldn't be hung up for people to look at.

So... you've never been surprised by something in a work of fiction? Sorry to hear that. I was left absolutely shocked by one thing this one time that left me thinking about it for weeks, and that wouldn't have happened if it didn't catch me completely by surprise.

As the previous poster said, its more about the journey than the ending

The problem can stem from not getting into the journey because you know the outcome. Sometimes it is hard to care about the character if you know they are going to die or whatever. It taints the initial perception of the story. A lot of times, once you know the outcome, you will see the movie in a different light on a second viewing. But if you know how it ends before the first time, you are robbing yourself of an experience that you won't be able to replicate.
