Nov 30th 2009 4:37AM (Joystiq)Pistols are quite effective except for the ammo capacity but one on one it's not hard for a pistol to take out just about anything else.
Then you have the flexibility of a sniper rifle on your package so you can deal with enemy snipers or just general long range kills.
Oh and then there's the motion sensor you get.... I mean come on!
I find the best place to snipe as a defender is from somewhere where you can see your enemy's back and cover the crates at the same time.

ESRB rating explains Dragon Age: Origins' sexual exploits
Jul 25th 2009 3:59PM (Joystiq)or you can ask the question "what's the point in not putting a sex scene in this game?"
Knee-jerk reaction that it's not necessary is a bad argument. There are a lot of things in books and movies and art that aren't necessary, You could probably do everything with androgynous sock-puppets but I think it's obvious to everyone here that something would be lost in the translation of Lolita to sock-puppets.
At the same time we exist in a society where these producers in hollywood and all the video-game devs and pubs are trying to sell a product so they're definitely not above utilizing the titillation factor to drive ticket/game/product sales.
So what do you do? I think the last thing to do is engage in some form of moral outcry over sexual content and situations. Despite what Kattleox might think sex is at least as natural as eating and breathing, without sex neither he nor I would be here nor would there be anyone else to read what I am saying. I think that rather than that people ought to foster consciousness regarding their consumption habits. They ought to ask the question why am I buying this? If the answer is 'because it has hawt sex' well... there you go.
Furthermore in the creation of what is supposed to be a grim and bloody world the existence and use of a whorehouse, a brothel, a prostitute, seems perfectly natural. It would in fact, in my opinion, be unnatural in such a world to not have that very venue. I mean, the origin story for the city elf contains at the very least a reference to rape and yet you intend to argue that it is out of line for there to be a brothel? It's a world of grotesque murder and brutal racism and dark imaginings but you would like the devs to just not include the bits that make you squeamish?

To all the people who are proponents of spanking; I hope your kid becomes a serial killer.
Just remember, lighting fires, killing small animals, and wetting the bed are all signs that you're a great parent.
