well to some she's a mary-sue(bs excuse tbh) add to fact shes a elf,makes "poor" choices and

Spoiler
of course she has a "fanclub".

Personally i love fiona and openly support her actions.

 

Well, then all of my characters are even bigger Mary Sue's than Fiona.

 

It's not even my fault. The way I play, I just make friends!

thats so *beep* simple why arent we using this

 

Jimmy Carter initiated an effort to make a switch and I recall from 1976 to 1981 learning a bit of metrics in school. However I think businesses complained and conservative public interest groups complained that this was "us capitulatin' ta tha durn furriners" (sorry about that but I could not resist) and so Reagan cancelled the effort during his first term and it was quietly dropped.

IKR? It's an absolute bastard. I thought that I was going to wipe for sure, and then I somehow miraculously knocked thousands of points off its HP just when I was almost out of potions. Must've got it with a lucky crit.


I somehow managed to beat it's first form and then hid away while Cole stabbed it to death.

Not my proudest video game moment :lol:

One example would be all those highway signs showing miles would have to be replaced to show miles and kilometers at first before they could finally be changed to kilometers only. Much money that Department of Transportations don't have, and that's just one example.

 

Oh missed that. Yes this was given as a reason during the Reagan years of not making the switch as it would "cost too much." Personally I prefer to pay a bit more for necessary things and switching to a form of measurement used by 99% of the world would seem to make a good argument for switching to metrics as not being "wasteful expenditure."

This is an interesting one. I consider myself a logical person and I enjoy picking apart the logical flaws in stuff, but they have to be really egregious for me to strongly dislike something, and I do value the emotional content, too. That's why I loved In Hushed Whispers. That last scene was so powerful that all the other things that had been niggling me beforehand got washed away. I appreciate that for others this isn't the case, and that's fine.
 
I have to reiterate that so far I'm preferring the rest of the Templar path to the Mage path, though. I find Calpernia more interesting than Samson, and I much preferred having Dorian in the chantry during In Your Heart Shall Burn.


It's kind of odd that I can be really logical in life but when it comes to books, movies and games the logical part of me just disappears. I guess I just want the escape from reality too much, not that there aren't some movies that even I have to shake my head in disbelief. I'm looking forward to seeing Calpernia after reading everyone's comments on her.

Pft, triple-A. Amateurs. She is taking SCHWEFLA, IKA, AKA, and FEKA. At the same time. With heavy amounts of Buntkreuz mixed in. Bruchmüller approves.

 

What? SchweFla may be Schwere Flak... others, not a clue.

yeah suedom is actually rare nowadays and is more used as a insult... mostly toward women who have actual personalities. But thats a whole can of worms and im not going finish today lol but yeah most player characters are technicality marysues to x extent

I actually was more of a support character back when I last had a chance to DAMPen myself. (Woo, I see what I did there... Clever me, right.)

That may be because of my preference for the Keeper, though. Neria's not much of an offensive character. Even if I managed to near-solo the easiest difficulty (what was it, again...) with her on lvl20. Had a killstreak of like 30 in one of the levels.

 

Dat Reaver, tho. Tamar does NOT mess around. One of the Warriors who NEVER need to tank, because they've already killed everything in the area.

Schwerste Flachfeuerartillerie (heavy flat-firing guns), Infantriebekämpfungsartillerie (counterinfantry guns), Artilleriebekämpfungsartillerie (counterbattery guns), and Fernkämpfartillerie (long-range interdiction guns). Basically: the entire storm of steel available to a 1918 German army group.

Bruchmüller was the big clue there.

The one friggin' word I actually didn't ask Auntie Wiki and Uncle Google about.

 

Still, how is that related to 1943-1945 Flugabwehrkanonen and B-17/B-24 formations remains a mystery to me :P

(USAAF = United States Army Air Forces, the WW1 equivalent would be the USAAS or United States Army Air Service)

Not too fond of Knight Enchanter in Campaign - I reloaded THREE hours of gameplay to become a Rift Mage instead, remember.

I figure Arcane Warrior is KEv0.9 (points if you can tell why not v2.0)

There was another push toward metric much later than this but it died also. I believe it was in the 90's, we have highways where I live that were designed and built in metric through the DoT I work for but the sign expense became a biggie again and everything was scrapped or so the story goes.

Edit: researched it all DoT's were supposed to be switched to metric by 2002 but it was canceled again.

Wiki knows nothing about Bruchmüller's task-oriented artillery group system, and barely knows that he was involved with artillery at all. Google is slightly better, but very misleading; it's possible to locate the texts of some of the monographs written on Bruchmüller and his system via Google, but they're buried under mountains of garbage if your Google Fu isn't top-notch, otherwise you'll get dragged down the "did you mean schwefel?" rabbit hole and never emerge.

Nothing whatsoever. It was about the amount of "fire" Fiona was taking. Because as much fire as an American bomber formation would have to endure, I have a feeling that a Great War army group could dispense even more.

Pretty much me referencing US Air Force's (then called the US Army Air Forces) air raids on Germany during the Second World War (typing that in capitals, no matter what, sorry) and comparing the amount of anti-air fire the bombers took to the amount of hate Fiona gets.

Then Eirene came in with German artillery, and a person one might call (as far as I understand) the father of modern artillery tactics.

Then I went in, took a peak... And ended up wondering how does WWI relate to WWII in this particular matter.

Guess it's because of the amount of arty fire generated before many major offensives during the trench war.

Schwefel is exactly what happened to be upon asking Google "Hey, what's SCHWEFLA?"

 

And for the other - yeah, I guess it! :D

It's more of a two historians talking. Except one has a Masters, and the other's dropping out after the first semester. Guess who's which!

 

Maybe I shouldn't call myself one.

MP thing: i ship the necromancer and reaver.

SP: it's easier to align with the mages for me because i am anti-oppression. BUT...I could see how the Templars are in a sense opressed because of the tight rein the Chantry has on the lyrium trade. A control tactic and quite effective up until this point.

I think what has me always side-eyeing the Templars in DAI is that one note in the Hinterlands from that hunter. I just couldn't shake that image from my head and it absolutely disgusted me. I also don't like anyone who exists with an heir of entitlement that harms other people. That's what the Templars represent as a whole to me. or maybe it's the Chantry. Because even if you say "not all Templars"(and IRL I hate that as the go to reason for other things), that doesn't give them a pass. If you know something effed up is happening within your org, you don't turn a blind eye...that's makes you just as complicit. This is universal for mages as well.
