I've been following Woody on Windows (http://www.infoworld.com/blog/woody-on-windows/) on this issue for some time, and I didn't install these updates: KB2952664 KB3035583 KB3123862 KB3138612 KB3118401 KB3121255 Haven't had any problem, so far.

Although my vote would also go for Lan (his ride for Demandred with the help from the Two Rivers archers and the duel are among the best I've ever read), I don't agree he won. He said it himself: "I did not come here to win, I came here to kill you". And if he didn't Sheathe the Sword, he would...

Yes, quite likely. There are nutjobs everywhere, not just in religious groups. However, I don't recall any dead cartoonists when they "stuck a condom" in the Pope's nose. They did. They had bodyguards, and a code-locked door. Unfortunately, these nutjobs were well-trained, allegedly in...

While keeping Stephen Russel would've been better, meaning, it will give them a higher chance of success at "getting it right", as long as they actually do get it right, it won't be such a big deal. As for the action portrayed here, namely, evading instead of fighting, that is an intriguing...

I believe Mark Twain would like to have a word with this guy...

So, people voted with their wallets, yet again. Which makes one wonder - what are they complaining about?

While this is good news (I'm assuming it'll work like "Expert" mode from the previous Thief games), a good amount of trust has been squandered here. Personally, I went from "maybe pre-order/definitely get it on day 1" (and I wouldn't pre-order anything, except the Witcher 3) to "let's wait...

The rule is quite simple, actually: If you buy a game that requires an always-on internet connection for single-player playing, you're doing it wrong.

Oh yes, absolutely. But they aren't. They chose to use the Thief name. If the guys from, say, Iron Maiden (to name an old "franchise" that has kept its roots stable throughout the years) suddenly wanted to do a Polka album (yeah, too extreme, I know :) ), they're totally entitled to it. But...

I don't actually care that much that Garrett has turned goth, but it worries me that Eidos doesn't realize he was never goth, to begin with. Makes me wonder what other fundamental aspects of the game they may have got wrong. And then, this little gem: "He's now in the game doing more action...

I used this book, both as a player and a DM, and it went smoothly. We just took the useful tips about elven culture (sometimes, using those as starting points to develop our own lore), and reached a consensus on balancing the over-powered stuff. Regarding the whole "elves are uber" thing, in...

Vote! That's what your wallet is for...

Yes, that is good. Come to think of it, if they keep the "Expert" setting, where killing anyone means mission failure, I'll be happy. They could even add a "Ghost" setting, although I suck at that.

I'm cautiously lowering my expectations for this. I still hope they'll create a first-class stealth experience based on thieving instead of assassination, but I'm not holding my breath. Dishonored is a good game, but it's not Thief.

I understand what you're saying, and I agree about how cynical and jaded we've all become. But I don't believe words, powerful though they may be, were the main driver in that particular situation. Poverty and hardship, imposed by the totally braindead conditions of the Treaty of Versailles...
