Incline Questions for the Codex interview with Feargus and MCA.

[Roguey]

Roguey, fix ur damn signature please. Having MCA's quote barely show up makes it look godawful.

Um, it looks just fine on my display, even when logged out..?

I like Aloth.

Btw., sometimes I have the feeling some people walk around checking boxes for "motivation" and things like that, generally sepaking. (Not only in games, but also in TV shows, movies and theatre plays btw.)
I don't think that's a healthy approach. Not that it never matters, but if a character f.e. totally fits into the world I don't think not having a understandable motivation fo doing certain things is a no go. It can actually add to the mystery etc.
Just sayin'.

I'm right there with you. My favorite character is one with no name, who takes no actions, and speaks no lines.

Looks like the forum does something weird with sigs depending on your browser window size. I can make parts of Roguey's sig disappear by unmaximizing my browser window.

RIP Sawyer quote

And then they proceeded to make 11 NPCs - some really well implemented and written (Durance), and some plain crap (Maneha) - just so they could have one for every class.

The base game shipped with eight. BG2 had 16.

I know. But it was still a couple NPCs too many. If every NPC was as well integrated (if not written) into the story as Durance, it would have been different.

RIP Sawyer quote

The end of an era :D

Developers overestimating what they're capable of doing within a given period of time is a common refrain.

That's not wha... ach, forget it.

So dry dialogue, less density of quests in the city and not rescuing an NPC would make BG2 great according to Sawyer? The guy just hates fun, I guess.

He'd also deemphasize fights requiring hard counters. Obviously as someone who worked on the Icewind Dales, he prefers that kind of combat.

It's a CSS rule. It's cutting off the last line when it's pushed over onto another line (when you reduce your browser window). The alternative is I cut off the entire line as opposed to half the line.

MCA: Yeah. Every game I play, I got my ask kicked, but I still enjoy it

It took more time than I though it would, for that I am sorry, but I just sent Chris Avellone interview to the CB. The fact that nobody thought the interview with Feargus was overhyped means, we are gonna to have a treat, because interview with MCA is even better in my opinion.

2 days to edit ums and likes (and counting).

To edit them out or to edit them in? That's a question!

Ummm.........uhhh....ahh...ummm. I dunno.

Less than ideal but

@media only screen and (max-width: ###px) {

    .message .signature {
        max-height: ###px; /* where ###  > 124 */
        font-size: 85%;
    }

    /* and maybe also */
    .message .signature img.mceSmilie {
        max-height: 5em; /* or less, low-widths are often high-dpi */
    }

}

and at a glance that doesn't cover things like quotes which are "font-size: ##px" so you'd either want to specifically include each or specify font-size in em
