But it also means Jar Jar Binks can become a Herald of Galactus...

They started the clone wars.

Is it? It's always seemed to me that most people seek resistance and name it "challenge"...

Provided the store is still working on Beta, one might theoretically be able to purchase the arc in the event that one did not have access to it.

Heathen! I bet you're one of those mayonnaise eaters, too!

It's really no more disgusting than something like a bloody mary as long as you mix the ketchup in thoroughly (a bit less disgusting than a bloody mary, I'd say, as I find vodka thoroughly unpalatable).

I wouldn't exactly say the story was great, but I thought the characters and dialogue were quite amusing. I found Handsome Jack to be a hilarious jerk who I looked forward to smiting throughout the game.

It sounds to me like he's not going off of total subscribers, but rather the average number of people actually playing the game on a daily basis. I wouldn't be shocked if SWG had more subscribers but fewer people actually playing at the end, particularly given that one could have been subbed to it as part of a package deal with the whaddya-call-it... Station Pass, was it?

Putting aside RPGA events where it wasn't optional... Many things are optional in tabletop games that are not optional in video games. Most video games don't allow me the option of creating my own setting or house rules, either - that doesn't mean they aren't RPGs.

I've actually never used pre-made characters in my home campaigns, but they have nevertheless been a part of tabletop gaming. Many D&D published adventures came with pre-made characters to use (and many official RPGA events have required using pre-made characters). The original Marvel Superheroes RPG was setup to use published characters with no official custom creation option - there was a random character generator but I'm not certain if that was included in the original release. The later Marvel RPG from TSR that used cards and Mayfair's DC Heroes could be played either way. Some Call of Cthulhu adventures came with pre-made investigators (which could be convenient given the high mortality rate).

I prefer to make my own characters (and often setting, for that matter), but it would be ignorant to deny that pre-generated player characters have been a part of tabletop gaming for quite awhile now.

Including PBAoEs - that is, attacks which emanate in all directions from the attacker?

Didn't he say he was working on NWN Online over there?

There was a time when replies often automatically put the quote to the bottom, particularly when many forums were also accessed via newsreaders (which could lead to terrible messes in newsreaders that also offset a reply directly under the post it was replying to, creating quite tangled trees). But I digress.

The problem is akin to addressing a statement to a group of people and not establishing who you were talking to until after you've finished. Depending on the statement it may not matter, it may cause minor confusion, or it may offend people it wasn't supposed to be directed at.

Mind you, I'm not telling you to stop.

Yeah, that was one game where I just wanted to wander around unimpeded sometimes. Playing the game was too much of a tedious chore, though, and I couldn't stick with it long enough to explore as much as I wanted.

You like Stalkers? ChO now has the slotted offensive ability for you! It's called "Night Warrior" I believe, and it gives you a stealth toggle and an assassin-strike-esque ability that can one-shot Super Villains. And when you're not one-shotting things from stealth I believe the passive also grants an overall damage bonus.

I've seen inhospitable forums and these forums are far from it.

No way, the Foxbat missions are some of my favourites.
