Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm hoping for a race of humanoid dog-people to keep the Nephilim population in check. Quote: Would be great if Blades got remade to but I recall Jeff saying that would be highly unlikely After Jeff has the engine and graphics all put together from the original trilogy remakes, I wonder how difficult a BoA remake would actually be to put together. How long did it take to make the original BoA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Careful what you wish for. The Nephilim bear some resemblance to the feline Felpurr from the later Wizardry series, which Jeff has cited as influential to his early days of computer gaming. But Wizardry also had the canine Rawulfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin' even infernals and drakes/dtagons parties? Let's just say they're silicon based organisms from another plane. The only problem is that a single Si-Si bond has a bond energy of 52 kcal/mol whereas a single C-C bond has a bond energy of 83 kcal/mol. So you'd think all of that heat would wreak havoc internally, but evolution goes way out of whack when supernatural forces are involved. They're self-conscious of their highly unlikely carbon-lacking chemistry, too. Just mention it snidely in a conversation. Few people know it, but demons and dragonkin will respond very strongly to this kind of taunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 if your accurate observations conflict with your ideas of the laws of physics it means your ideas of the laws of physics are wrong our current conceptions of the laws of physics do not fully and accurately describe how the universe actually works (although they come pretty close for most practical purposes), but science operates under the assumption that there is some set of laws that will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Quote: Or it means that these laws break down under certain circumstances which cannot be duplicated on the macro-level. Aside from the attention grabbing headline, all your above link says is that the discovery implies new laws are needed. The fundamental notion of science is that are rules that allow us to predict the behavior of observable phenomena. These need not even be deterministic, and only need to assign measurable likelihoods (probabilities) of events occurring given a set of circumstances. It's an interesting question whether anything can be truly outside the laws of physics. I suppose if there were some phenomenon that were absolutely unpredictable, even in a probabilistic sense, then that would apply. However, proving that something is totally unpredictable is not possible because one can always argue that we are just ignorant of something far more fundamental that we have yet to conceptualize or measure.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 it's also worth keeping in mind that while science does rely on the assumption that the world is fundamentally predictable (at least in probabilistic terms), so does everything else you do, ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 From a theoretical point of view, I suppose it is not inconceivable that there would be certain exotic regimes (singularities of black holes) where things could be entirely unpredictable such that it would not totally violate our daily lives. It would still be within the laws of physics to demonstrate where the boundaries between the predictable and unpredictable are; however, once again, we are back to the impossibility of ever proving total unpredictability, so it's a silly point to make anyway.
