    Another good reason why Bethesda doesn't have any right to the word Scrolls

    http://howtonotsuckatgamedesign.com/?p=3327 Not that anyone is likely to. God knows, reacting randomly and stupidly is so much more visceral and fun than reading things. If that link weren't pretty obviously a butthurt bethesda fanboy, yes it'd be helpful.

    Anyone else a fan of Dark Messiah Might and Magic?

    I actually really enjoyed bot versions. The 360 version is a lot more linear, you choose a class and automatically are locked into that class can only use it's weps.

    What's your controversial opinion?

    Just want to point out, AMERICA WAS NEVER A CHRISTIAN NATION. Look up the freaking treaty of Tripoli.* in short a legal document signed UNANIMOUSLY by congress, which in part of it affirmed that the US was not in any form founded on christian principles.

    What's your controversial opinion?

    I also feel that deeply religious people should not be allowed to become doctors or scientists, unless their religious beliefs will not effect medical decisions, neo-pagans and buddhists for example. hard core Christians, Jewish people, and Muslims, on the other hand, have several beliefs that...

    I feel a dictatorship, under ideal conditions, would be the best form of government. * my view on this is kinda long and complex, so im not going to go into detail with my plan, just list some examples of what i view as an ideal dictator, Ben-Jozef Pilsudski and Cincinnatus, to start with, are...

    Jimquisition: Solving the Sexism Situation

    I was basically attempting a sort of sarcastic thing there, but i think i was too tired to pull it off. Anyway, the point is that it seems , IMO the majority of us don't like the addition of Jim, and feel he doesn't really have a place here and may hurt the Escapist's reputation and damage the...
