I'm starting to think that trial versions of critters porting over to non-trial content is something that development's overlooked for a few issues now. I've been hearing that high-level Primal DE have higher ToHit values like their Praetorian counterparts...

Ah, yeah, I see now that that's what you recommended when I was trying to get rid of Candy-Stripe World.

Assuming I figure out how to install the old drivers on my system, are there going to be any new issues as a result of that?

If your character won't speak, audibly or psychically, then it has to write things down. If it won't write things down, it has to resort to pantomime.

Regardless of how reclusive your character may be, if its goals require some manner of communication with the locals, then that communication has to happen somehow; whatever is driving it to meet these goals must make it happen against your character's normal tendencies; otherwise, they can't meet these goals and the concept won't fly at all.

But Sam, that's not communication, and Squall is acting like a sullen, stoic bozo. In any hypothetical conversation, people expect responses of some sort and will generally prompt the other person until they get one they understand. And note that I say "conversation" because you appear to want some sort of mutual exchange to occur between your character and the NPC.

Besides, do you really want to create a "typical emo anime protagonist" as anything other than a parody?

eeeuuurrruuuuhhh Well, I have an AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core and an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE. The motherboard might be 64-bit, for all I know.

The Half-Life script is written explicitly to keep things moving without Gordon having to say a single word; the dialogue wheel hadn't been invented yet.

Just give your character something to write or type on.

I doubt it, it's just something dapper to wear.

Could also be Black Scorpion and Ghost Widow. Kalinda did say that Black Scorpion is destined to die by Ghost Widow's doing, and even though those two don't seem to be very buddy-buddy, as it were, there's no telling what's coming up.

No, there's someone standing behind the partition, too. You can maybe see the toe of one of his boots if he stands in a certain way during one part of the cutscene.

That's what Assault Rifle used to be, way back in beta.

People got sick of all the weapon redraw.

Well, looking over the article again, it doesn't say that they're actually being given orders by the Well. They might just be annoying groupie stalkers.

But I haven't run through the new arcs on Beta at all, so what do I know.

If they made it a Hair slot, it might end up clipping with jackets and robes or whatever.

If they made it a Shoulder or Chest slot, then wut?

Also, your quote and your sig kinda make me lol.

True enough. I know at least one person in my regular global that doesn't like beating up heroes and will only play red content, if any at all, that won't pit him against said heroes.

Mortimer Kal.

Technically, the Apex and Tin Mage TFs are villain-playable as well.

Where did you get those numbers?

This dead horse isn't going to get any more dead no matter how much you beat it.

I'm not sure how players would care, if they could only get jetpacks.

Ahh, I thought I recognized Eastgate Heights when they showed us that pic the first time around.

Also, I'm pretty sure that's the Haunted Mansion from Banjo & Kazooie.

Fixed that for you.

I could have sworn they said 'October' during Comic-Con or one of the Dev Chats.

Not quite. Consider that villain who may do things you 'kind of, sort of agree with', but for selfish motives you despise.

When building a villain, or any character, really, you have to consider not only what their actions may be, but also their motivation.

Or, consider that the hero 'kind of, sort of agreeing with' the villain's actions is on the verge of becoming a villain themselves.
