I'd love to see some of the stories from the Silmarillion, I'm not sure how it would work. The book skips very quickly over a number of years between significant events. I don't think that this would work well on TV. How would you start it? The music and the early actions of Morgoth in Arda...

I tend to think that for settlements to work well the game needs to be designed around them. I'm not sure they fit well into the fallout style gameplay. As a spin-off game it could work but not as a kind of mini-game within a game of a completely different genre. As far as crafting is...

Gothic 1 & 2. Possibly 3, but I haven't played that one so I can't say. As much as I enjoyed those games, I'd really like to see them done in a modern engine.

I'd like to see Ciri travelling to the world of the Aen Elle. A whole new world for us to explore through Ciri's eyes would definitely be worth playing.

I just want to know the source of your claims here. Where did Paul Elam declare all women to be murderers? I've heard many complaints about him, some exaggerated but some legitimate in my opinion, but this is a new one. I've just done a quick google search and it doesn't seem to appear on the...

It seems to come with anything you've previously bought. I've already got the retail version and have bought some of the extra content, but not all of it. The content that I had bought is available for download and the content that I haven't bought still asks for Bioware points. So I do have...

I'm male but I wouldn't have any issue dressing a female character. For example, when playing Mass Effect with a female protagonist I had some limited ability to choose her casual outfit, which made no real difference to game play. I could choose what I thought looked appropriate for her...

Gothic and Gothic II. I've never played Gothic III, but while I'm imagining I may as well imagine that one remade as well. Graphics quality has never been a major showstopper for me, but the graphics in those games are seriously dated and I'd love to see those games remade with modern graphics.

Numbered reviews can be useful in large numbers - many of the undeserved 0s can be cancelled out by the undeserved 10s and vice versa. They are not good as a final assessment, however. You have to read more complete reviews, and preferably more than one. I haven't been following this game and...

Possibly not quite the same theme as the other comments in this thread but I was playing Slither.io once and just as I entered the game a huge snake burst right in front of me. I don't know who they ran into but I managed to pick up a significant amount of their leftovers. I rarely play the...

I don't mind the design of the new ship. It seems angular rather than the more rounded shapes we're used to seeing Starfleet use, but I don't mind the change. If it is set somewhere between Enterprise and TOS, I wonder what uniform are they going to wear? Would they go with the TOS era...

I rarely have much to do with politics outside an election. I've never contacted my local MP, for example. While I do have a political opinion and have, on occasion, got into a political discussion, I don't normally have much to do with politics. When an election does come around, however, I...

I'm in my late 30's and I'm not sure I could place an age range on a potential date. Obviously if she still looked like a teenager I couldn't even consider it. If she looked like she was past retirement age then I can't imagine that happening either. Beyond that it would depend on the individual...

I like the idea of cybernetics, but I have at least one potential issue. It may be a bit silly but my concern is power supply. Will my arm stop working if I forget to recharge it? Is the cost of recharging trivial, or is it something that I'll need to consider in my budget? How long can it run...

I don't understand how 'Linear' became a dirty word when applied to RPGs. I haven't played the new Doom, but from what I've seen of it the single player campaign is extremely linear, at least regarding the basic order the different regions are to be completed, but this doesn't seem to be...
