The more technical problem to a "port to boat" cheat is what does it do when you have more than one boat? In this game, you need to get at least 3 boats in order to complete everything.

Nope. There are some across the river from there near the other Aranae lair (fixed and random), there are some west of Fort Remote (fixed encounter), some in the Abyss (fixed).

There are a number of places you can run into groups of Aranae (magic spiders). In the wide world, some of them are just random encounters and others are at set locations so it would be very difficult for us to guess what one you are thinking of.

To round this out properly:

Why would you need to buy another boat. Yours is wherever you left it.

 

For the other

Well, the Orb of Thralni will help you in reaching Erika. And/or getting a boat from the giants east of Bargha. HINT:

SoW, First, source your data. That evidence sounds like the usual kind of sociological anecdotal research biased by preexisting beliefs of the researchers and a strong desire to find something to write a paper about so the researcher can get tenure. Also, even assuming that's true, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with cognitive structure as it can be as easily explained by social norms and pressures. Those same social norms and pressures then explain the perceptions, as women are taught from childhood that men don't listen, and men are taught that women are emotional, not logical. So people fit their perceptions to their preconceived notions.

 

It reminds me of an episode of CSI when four Buddhist monks are found shot in the head. Grissom in the end asked the killer why he shot them all in the 6th Charka, and the killer replies that he shot them between the eyes.

So we should all be David Bowie circa 1972? ;-)

Actually, the Kill Sss-Thsss plot line is a mission from the castle that leads to another "Kill that" mission from the castle that is the one major line.

 

Then one you're sent on by Scimitar

and one you're sent on by [expunged]

.

After you talked to Faiga, did you look in the trunk in the back of her house that she tells you to look in?

I think she was haunting your computer. Better call Solberg for an exorcism.

Did you tell Erika that you had the five brooches? I don't recall if that's necessary right at the moment. And you've checked your special items inventory in the quest log to be sure you have the five brooches with you?

Then I misunderstood, and you wouldn't have gotten the joke in the series that Brennan writes novels about a character named Kathy Reichs (who in real life is a forensic anthropologist as well as an author).

I think Slarty was pretty clear that he was talking about the source novels, not the way the television series has altered the characters. While Kathy Reichs' name remains in the credits as an executive producer, that's almost certainly for the financial remuneration. I'd be willing to bet that she has no active role in the writing or development of the series at this point. Film and television characters developed from novels almost always develop in a very different direction from the source material. Some of that is the structure of writing for a continuing series of relatively short stories (a teleplay is about 47 pages as opposed to the three hundred plus pages of an average mystery novel). Some of that is the pressure of appealing to an often significantly different audience (there are probably a few hundred thousand, maybe a couple million, regular readers of the novels; there are 10-20 million regular viewers of the television series).

If you think that's unfortunate, you'd really hate the birth episode where she goes into labor while they're out on a case, can't make it to a doctor, stop at an inn, are told there's no room, so she gives birth in the manger, and they name the kid Christine.

Yep. Self-selecting groups are automatically weighted. And attempts to draw from the general record as sociologists and some cultural anthropologists do is that it's nearly impossible to isolate for variables and prone to selecting samples based on the hypothesis (investigator bias).

The joking version of that, of course, is the Internet meme about heart attacks in various populations. The French eat lots of heavy creams and have fewer heart attacks than Americans, the Japanese eat almost no heavy creams and have fewer heart attacks than Americans. So what causes heart attacks is being American. ;-)

If the concept of the biological imperative of bearing live young and raising them to maturity were the root of the commonly held societal roles of males and females, it should be consistent across all species, and of course it isn't.

Unfortunately, the concept that "a woman's work is in the home" is not a relatively new concept from the industrial revolution, either. It exists in many societies across the world and down through history--though it isn't quite universal.

All of that wanders a long way back to the original topic that there is a great societal undercurrent that puts women in the roles of objects, though the current expression of that as "boobs-and-backsides" sex objects is different from the "bearers of children" images of many earlier societies. The latter speaks to the larger procreative drive, the former to the instant gratification of sexual release.

In the show, Bones and Booth have a kid and live together, but I do not believe that they've actually gotten married yet. If so, it must have been off screen.

The cave you're looking for is

Good to know. Somehow I never went through that line of dialog until after going to Drath's I guess.

Of course, Inspector Gadget was a cartoon take on Get Smart, wherein Agent 99 actually did all the work while Smart (Agent 86) kept getting them in trouble, mixed with a little bit of Inspector Clouseau. Similar to how The Flintstones were a cartoon ripoff of The Honeymooners.

I don't think that holds, Slarty. In classical literature you have great characters like Emma Bovary, Anna Karenina, Hester Prynne.

 

In the "lowliest" of genres, SF, Fantasy, and Horror, you see a lot more women in the role either as victim or as total bad-ass evil. Much fewer balanced portrayals. The popularity of "urban fantasy" is balancing that a bit, which goes back to the Blood Ties books by Tanya Huff.

Are you quite certain? It seems to me that the line that leads to the information about the key doesn't come up until you've been to Drath's and found out you need a key and which way it went.

Young adult and children's fiction do provide a number of choices: Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables), Nancy Drew, Heidi, in addition to those you mentioned.

 

Also, mystery fiction provides a good few: In addition to Miss Marples you have currently very popular Temperance Brennan (aka Bones), V.I. Warshawski, and television perennial Jessica Fletcher to name just a few.

Yes, but you can't go to see Motrax and get the right dialog until
