  1. PoE plot analysis.

    I think there is still room for this deeper debate. Iovara isn't a 100% reliable narrator, but the real focus is her discoveries about the gods that are being worshipped. The player just doesn't have real reason to get into a deep debate about the possible existence of some other as-yet unknown...

  2. PoE plot analysis.

    Bare assertions. That's barely an explanation. That's just a simple assertion that is supported only by a weak comparison to the Matrix.

  3. Development Info Coreplay Issues Statement in Response to bitComposer Interview

    You think that lost profits are "extremely disfavored" but that impossibility is an "excellent" defense? You can't get an impossibility defense unless there are new circumstances that are unforeseeable to the breaching party. You can't just sign a contract, fail to perform, and then whine that...

  4. Development Info Coreplay Issues Statement in Response to bitComposer Interview

    I couldn't say exactly, but contract laws are pretty standard internationally. Regardless, to call compensation for ascertainable lost profits a "windfall" is absurd.

  5. Development Info Coreplay Issues Statement in Response to bitComposer Interview

    Gladly -- google is your friend: "We turn next to the question of actual damages. Here, where the only actual damages that the trial court awarded were lost profit damages, the issue is whether ERI provided legally sufficient evidence of those lost profits. The rule concerning adequate...

  6. Development Info Coreplay Issues Statement in Response to bitComposer Interview

    Expected profit is certainly not a disfavored contract remedy.

  7. Torment Planescape Torments Me

    And heaven forbid anyone ever just ignore a Fed-ex quest after spending all that precious time talking to the NPC.

  8. Have you ever discovered truly obscure secrets/easter eggs?

    Mina: Her name is Madison Saint James Mike: Sounds like a porn star ... I think I've seen some of her movies

  9. Game News Alpha Protocol Not Elite Enough for a Sequel

    No, it's totally illogical given the game's save system that you'd be able to keep e-mail activity. The game saves checkpoints, and if you turn off the game before getting another checkpoint, your actions aren't saved. The only way that your actions are saved is if you get another checkpoint...

  10. Any games similar to Planescape Torment?

    Did anyone play Lost Odyssey? I read about it before it came out but never bothered to play it. You play as an immortal but for some stupid reason you have to reload if your entire party loses a battle. That sort of turned me off ever playing the game. But the setup reminded me a lot of...

  11. Avellone on Alpha Protocol

    All of the bangable chicks can be banged in a single playthrough. That was always the implication. You can. Of course, it's kind of pointless in some instances. There was never any pretense that there would be a non-combat path through the game, but that you'd always have the option to use...

  12. Avellone on Alpha Protocol

    Perhaps you didn't read. Avellone entered the project halfway through the development cycle. They had a specific date they needed to finish the game by, because they were not told ahead of time that the game would be delayed by Sega. If they didn't feel like they had time to redo locations...

  13. Alpha Protocol: Well-written?

    It really doesn't matter what you say to Mina. What matters with her more is your actions. If you act in a professional manner, if you put your trust in her rather than in other women, if you always complete the extra objectives, and if you avoid civilian/American casualties, she will pretty...

  14. Editorial Alpha Protocol - Delivering on the Promise

    Well, hey, why not just make everything unkillable then because deciding to murder everything in sight for kicks isn't really a choice, right? Or, hell, why not break the game if you murder a quest-giving drow because choosing to just murder everything in sight isn't really a choice. What the...

  15. Editorial Alpha Protocol - Delivering on the Promise

    You mean being disguised as a Drow and doing missions for select houses and choosing whom to backstab is not a significant choice vs. simply attacking the entire Drow city? Cooperating with a dragon is the same as simply attacking her and then also fighting the entire Drow city? Getting a gift...
