No, having international law be present could actually improve war games, at least storywise, if used properly.
They'd have to include ability to commit war crimes in the first place.
Like killing civilians, destroying civilian targets or killing the POWs rather than expending effort and funds to keep them?

Yea, you do need for war crimes to be present for the whole thing to work. Though the vibe I got from the article was for games to notify people of the fact international laws and such exist, like someone commenting that the operation you're about to undertake is top secret because several laws are going to be broken. Instead of just URRAH!

If it was just the game developers making the games according to international law and treaties, and nothing but, then it'd be really gay. But that wasn't the vibe I was getting.

South Park? Can you confirm that Obsidian is working on South Park? As in the same studio that has produced some of the most well written and executed RPGs I have ever played? ...I think I am going to be sick.

I dunno, nothing bad about someone actually listing the player all the treaty violations they just did, and why they're a bad person for it.

An irritating mechanic that would appeal to a tiny minority of pussywhipped bitches? Sign me up!
It's like NFS:MW's felony score system, in a game like MW! Holy shit this is SO fucking awesome!

you should make games

I want Skyrim and Dragon Age 2 to have a baby. Skyage, maybe, because Dragon Rim just sounds dirty. I encourage this union for purely selfish reasons, that I might someday get to play a game that has Skyrim-quality environments and Dragon Age quality characters. Places I love to be and people I'm happy to see when I get there. Or that I want to bash in the face with the pommel of my sword, depending on how close they are to my property line.

Well to her credit as she's not gifted in the looks department, she's got a unique voice and understands not to sing 'foreign' schtick whilst retaning an american accent as so many americans do, which just makes it sound returdud.

Either The Witcher 2 or Dragon Age 2; think The Witcher 2 edges it due to the sheer amount of influence the player holds over the story.

The Witcher 2 is pretty much the RPG I've wanted to play for a long time. Excellent, well-written story with characters you end up caring about. Fast paced, real-time combat on a large variety of monsters. Excellent set-pieces, without losing the depth hidden within the RPG mechanics; I'd have to nit-pick to find what I'd consider to be massive flaws in the game. Doesn't hurt it's possibly the best looking game around either.

I know the typical complaints about Dragon Age 2 - the repeated content, the waves of enemies and so on - none of that really bothered me; the quests were interesting, the combat fun and the tone - light hearted [due to the fact I chose the central dialogue option at all times], but serious enough when it needed to be kept me engaged, whilst in most Bioware games I end up skipping sections of dialogue. I think I ended up caring about the characters in DA2 more-so than even TW2 - they're all well-written with human-enough traits and flaws to make them seem somewhat realistic, despite the fantasy setting, in perhaps a way The Witcher 2 didn't quite succeed beyond its core cast. I guess it doesn't hurt I went in with the knowledge the internet generally hated the game.

I liked this one:

I can't remember what I played yesterday. My 2011 December 2nd game of the day is Orcs must Die, but I liked lots of games this year.

He'd probably make a pretty good game journalist

Read that specific comment chain (the rest is banal shit boring). Here's just one golden quote:

You refuse to accept the presence of X in your beloved game, or any game for that matter, and begin a bitter campaign to convince everyone else that it is the travesty you think it is. If you play the game, you are determined to hate it– and voila! You do! Possibly you hang out on RPG Codex.
Why do you hate us so?

I wonder if they realize that JRPGs started out as Wizardry clones. And p much play with a third person blob style except even more simplified.

To be fair, it's probably the best thing Gaider ever wrote, so his desire to repeat it is understandable.
It'll be the Big Bad's speech in Dragon Age III.
