This is true as well. RPG's are also another example. I know some RPG's throw in a woman with chainmail bikinis but most western RPG's don't. In Baldur's Gate, a female warrior/paladin/ranger character would be bigger than all males who weren't warriors, rangers or paladins. Meanwhile she would be equal in height to male characters who were warriors/paladins/rangers.

This is the story of the pen & paper TDE campaign I'm currently participating with, as logged by our game master : http://dasschwarzeauge4.de/?cat=3

Ahem. You already do know that I'm not too positive towards STeam - but this is the imho worst case : http://wegotthiscovered.com/news/valve-accept-steam-subscriber-agreement-disable-account/


A completely different topic is regarding Borderlands 2 : http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-08-15-lost-humanity-8-days-of-nothing

Never a fan of them myself, Alrik. And far less a fan after all this.

Still, quite amusing that they don't seem to realise that anything signed under duress is automatically void under the law of civilised nations!

I can't see pictures, unfortunately.

Did you have the chance to see that new game from Deck13 too?

Lords of The Fallen?

Hm, strange.

And they are on the second page of the whole thread anyway.

I think you need to be a Rpgwatch member to see the pictures.

Oops, sorry, I didn't know that.

Well, I think I should update my blog again or which I've forgotten my password ... *sigh*

The Chaos Chronicles could become interesting : http://www.chaos-chronicles.com/


Edit : Besides : This could be a typical scene from DDO featuring an high-level "eliticist" type player" :

Gamasutra got an article about Diablo 3 . Normally it would be nothing special but in his comments autor noted that Divine Divinty got good implemention of chosen one plot point into a game.

The Noob is always brilliant!

If you answer [to] the "annual GOG survey", until September, 17th, 2012, then you can get the first two Realms Of Arcania games for free ! http://www.gog.com/news/gogcom_annual_survey_get_a_game_for_free

Remember that this goes only until the 17th this month.

I don't know if you need to have an GOG account for getting it - I tend to believe that yes, you need one, but it is nowhere explicitely stated (or I have overseen it), but at least you'll need an E-Mail address.

This seems to be "giftable" as well, according to this GOG page, although I don't know how.


On a different matter : http://www.stopzombiemouth.com/
You should look at this as well, because it's a fair game.

Thanks for the heads up, Alrik!

Realms of Arkania was on my GOG wishlist

Awesome!

Thank God for GOG eh?

I'm hereby recommending Trine. A wonderful game ! But it is primarily a Jump & Run game ...

Project Eternity Kickstarter.

Of definite interest to all RPG fans...
