I'd offer to help, but I am just as bad at procrastinating. (Chapter two of my fanfic is still a WIP after several months...)

I do miss the joke items you got from Nicodemus. I've never been able to get over him making actually useful stuff for you--unforgiveable.

Good point. My favorite from the first game was the Blinking Pants. (I do NOT miss the replicating stone blocks, however.)

Just what Heart Callan says when you turn in Alcander for his quest is priceless. Save before so you can go back to have him at the end.

I'll have to try this. My personal favorite is what happens when you take him back to your cell in Vardegras' lair after the second Corruption quest.

Also I bought all the available stuff for the farm but I don't see any difference.... Is it normal ?

Don't quote me on this, but I *think* you may have to return to Avadon between placing the order for the furniture and having it show up in the house. I am very far from certain of this though.

I think what makes a difference is if there is a tangible name and role attached to a member. If the game has set characters with their own personalities then its easier to know whos who and whos good at what.

And not just who's good at what, but what skills the character would likely want to train in. I have a hard time training Yannick as an offensive spellcaster, for instance.

Glad to hear it.

I've worked a couple shifts with her. I wouldn't have thought anything if she hadn't said certain things and acted a certain way by the end of the day. I'm just going to wait it out and see what happens, since there's no use in getting worked up over someone who's in a relationship.

It's great that you get along with your supervisor, but starting a relationship with her while either of you is in a position of power over the other at work is at best a Very Bad Idea if not a violation of company policy. (I think most companies, at least here in the US, have some sort of rule that forbids employees from dating coworkers when one outranks the other.)

I personally read that incident with the portrait as being linked to Envoy Jaime's quest, because I've always been on his quest when I first visit the Tawon. It honestly didn't occur to me that it might not be linked somehow. I don't know for sure either way.

If it turns out not to be linked to the Raptors' quest for Gryfyn, though, there is the possibility Lilith brought up. The MC's trainer does mention later in the game that they had been talking with rebel scouts. Given that, it's possible that either they mentioned the MC's description innocently and someone from one of the factions thought it'd be a good idea to off the MC, or that a party of rebel scouts spotted the MC after the first run-in with Ghorus, assumed he hadn't finished his job and decided to hire someone else for that job instead. (Incidentally, this would also help explain Konstina's reluctance to pay Ghorus what he considered his due.)

I get what you're saying. Though from what I could tell, most of the new stuff in LOTR was at least drawn from Tolkien's other Middle-earth stories and so was much more canon (except for the Elves in the battle at Helm's Deep, and the participation of the Host of the Dead at Minas Tirith itself). The new stuff in The Hobbit... not so much.

Then again, I'm a purist when it comes to books I love being adapted for the screen.

since each game takes ~60 hrs to finish then ........... of course in movie can be focused only into main plot and leave sidequests off.

Not only that, but he'd take out details that (insert one) didn't film well/seemed boring to him/he just couldn't be bothered to fit in. (See, for instance, the film version of LOTR: Return of the King.)

Working my way through Game of Thrones (the book series) - just finished book 2.

Also, it would be fun to be able to hire an artist IG and have them paint scenes like this...

Alcander to get locked into a prison in Wretch Lands

As tempting as this sounds, I think it would be MUCH more fun to have him be Nicodemus' assistant. At the very least, it would give him something legitimate to gripe about. It might even neutralize Nicodemus' tendency to create dangerous and/or useless objects. (See Avadon 1's self replicating bricks, for instance.)

The Chabon fight seems too heavily scripted to allow you to kill him. I also got very close to killing him several times, but Redbeard always showed up before I could finish the job.

Never thought of it that way. Although I have no clue where my toddler brain came up with the idea in the first place.

When I was young I thought that cheese was a vegetable. Since little me knew that milk came from cows, I assumed that fruit juice came from horses.

This plays right into my belief when I was young (very very young, as I recall) that horses and cows were males and females of the same species. I thought that about dogs and cats too, actually.

You know this is an awesome thread when someone posts a random poll about food and within two pages people start bringing up weird beliefs about food they had when they were little.

It was black pepper from a shaker; I'd sprinkled a lot of it into my mouth for some reason and I can't stand the stuff ever since.

This happened to me once, only I'd been eating a powdered sugar donut, inhaled the sugar and choked. I couldn't eat powdered sugar donuts for some time afterwards.

Yes I do, it is debatable if I have salt on my french fries or french fries under my salt. Fortunately, I do not eat french fries very often.

LOL, that's how I am with coffee and sugar. I like a little coffee with my sugar... when I drink coffee, which is very very VERY seldom. (Read: only when no other caffeine source is available!)

Not just southeast Asia. If you find yourself in a Southeast Asian restaurant that offers gulab jamun, don't leave without having one.

You add salt to french fries and tortilla chips? I can understand doing that if you make them yourself, but otherwise I find them plenty salty on their own.

Did everyone think, when they were little, that salt and pepper were opposites that could cancel each other out?

I don't recall ever thinking that, but it is certainly possible considering the very strange beliefs I had about food as a little kid. When I was 4 or 5 I thought that by planting lollipop sticks in the ground I'd get a lollipop tree. I also once asked my mom how to plant graham crackers.

Three words: sea salt caramels

 

Clearly, sweet and salty are not mutually exclusive.

You forgot sea salt chocolate. (Ghirardelli, how I love thee...)

Yeah, I borrowed that idea from people in this thread for my chambers & houses in Avadon 2. Potted plants, bed linens and tools make great room decorations

I would have picked "both" had that been an option. Sometimes I like salty stuff (Pringles, pretzel pieces, etc) but, like Dikiyoba, I have multiple sweet teeth. Chocolate bars are just not safe around me.

I found this on somebody's signature over there and the onion is now my favourite source of news :>

That article reminded me of this one.

[Edit] ...found a link with full text, yay!

I'm assuming you mean after Corruption's Core? If so, you need to talk to Protus to proceed.
