Go into unarmed combat with something that has claws. See who wins.

/facepalm

Punching != Clawing

Unarmed != Punching only

EDIT: Ninja'd... twice. I'm slow.

 Like Bug Squashing taking a higher priority this time, by having the game always connected to their servers. Yes I'm sure piracy had nothing to do with this decision.

well, from what i read (maybe i read it in a bad way) it doesn't say that you'll have to be connected 24H a day with internet. it just states that, (at least, from what i managed to read) it can be connected to internet continuosly for updates in case of bugs, not that it requires a 24H day connection to play. While they "could" actually go with a 24H a day connection to play, i hope they won't. not for the piracy issues, because, after all, assassin creed 2, from dust, excetera, were all pirated without qualms. and without worries too, even though there "drm" should have been safer.
In the end the drm ends up being a nuisance to those who actually buy the game.
the thing they should do, and i hope is what i managed to understand from that article, is that it doesn't require the connection to play, BUT if you have it, you get the bugs fixed asap. And maybe new content added also? while if you have a pirated version, you end up keeping the bugs and you have to wait for someone to crack the updates. and so on.

Yeah, I'm waiting for some clarification on this from Bethesda, the article itself wasn't very clear.

Would be a real shame if they ruined this game by pulling an Ubisoft.

It was part of a series. The first one was a guy facepalming at me, and the other three are people explaining - all at the same time - why it was silly to do so.

That 'we have a better plan for fixing bugs' link just sounds to me like "We're gonna tweak things and release the tweak immediately with barely any testing, and people will get it immediately because they're using steam or the xbox, which are usually always online so that people can get achievements." (I can't speak to the PS3, since I've never used one)

Obviously it wouldn't be likely to be able to patch while you were playing unless they've come up with a fancy new method in the game itself to support changing it on the fly somehow, which I kind of doubt.

[Eagle_eye]

well, they could always force one of those inter-cell loading screens on you.

Gay marriage? Damnit Bethesda, one second I'm condemning you for dumbing things down, on the other hand I have to applaud  for something.

You see, I have an issue with this. No, it has nothing to do with homosexuality, although the fact that we find out about this first is a bit worrying. It's the implication of a marriage system. Unless they drastically change the disposition system the only way they can ft it in is having it at 100 "will u marry me y/y?". If they do drastically change the disposition system to include relationships they will have to make a bunch of voice samples for every person having such a relationship with you, and they will all likely say the same thing.

 I dunno, I just don't feel marriage and romance really fit in with this kind of game. It's open world yeah sure, and there seems to be some focus on making NPC's more interesting this time around, but I can't imagine it working out.

I don't believe every single NPC is marry-able. I think there are specific ones, remember reading the tweet about it and thinking "Not everyone?". Doing voice samples for each NPC with half a personality would be ridiculous

[Duke 2.0]

 Even then, I dunno. Does that mean it'll just be a romantic quest line? Will they just have two gay NPC's each with their own romantic quest plotline? Or just ambiguous either way pay no attention to the player sex stuff like in Morrowind?

 Again it's more the implications that they are trying to pull of a romantic quest plotline.I gotta know the details.

[Grakelin]

Hmm, having homosexuality the only option for romance would be good game design, since people wouldn't ask why you can't have kids.

I wonder if Quantic Dream could do a homosexual romantic option WAY better then they do their current batch.

Dang it Quantic Dream... Your already established relationships are great... why are your "thrown together" relationships so absolutely horrible?

I thought it was touching when the murder suspect and the woman investigating him made passionate love.

The improvement was when we got to press 'O' to kiss.
