Radiant Story is also smart enough to know which caves and dungeons you've already visited and thus conditionalize where, for instance, a kidnapped person is being held to direct you toward a specific place you haven't been to before, populated with a specific level of enemy. This helps Bethesda avoid repetition and usher the player into areas the team wants you to explore.

I'd add that the lameness of he main quests is exacerbate by the fact that you're required to go trough HELL at level 1, alone, while the imperial guards that could kick your ass trough your brain any time stand just there scripted to die their dramatic death.
and for the thirty damned successive levels, hell never gets easier. or harder. or different. or anything. most of the damned game is enter hell, get the sigil, repeat.

But seriously speaking, I get that you didn't get into Oblivion the same way you did with Morrowind. Still, it obviously was entertaining enough for you to play it a lot.
this happens to me too. I hate oblivion, it feels like a dumbed down version of the dumbest final fantasy, but I just love the game content, the lore, the background everyone have..
and all that coherency, to me, is quite killed from scaled monsters and npcs. so as I get higher on levels the world seems more an abstract painting than a live creature. but hey, it's just an opinion. now that I have found an interesting balance of mods I'm playing it again, and again I'm discovering new stories, new quests, new items, new people...

had a couple of round yesterday and I was totally sucked in.
I'm at loss on how everything works but the atmosphere is great.
still, probably there were too few player to enjoy the full station experience. with few people, fewer guards and no one really trying to rp all the rounds revolved in AI hacking.

Which seems low, until you realise thatQuoteWeapons (excluding air weapons) were fired in 40 per cent of firearm crimes.
wow people down there sure have a shitty aim
joke aside, I think that with a knife is harder to miss, but knifing is up close and personal so there is less chance of actually come to a knifing until there is a specific harm intention

the problem of statistics on crime versus population and that kind of crime rate is that they measure of much 'violence oriented' a cultural group is, not showing a correlation between violence and gun ownage.
it would be nice to find the data and figure out some other statistic. one which I'd like to see is
number of death by assault/number of assault
number of assault with guns/number of assault
number of death by gun in assault/number of death in assault
if that one is significantly higher, then that would at least show some kind of "deadliness" measure of the assault, from which one may infer something.
I'm using assault here as crime is too generic and may or may not sway the statistic as 'crime' may include activity were physical confrontation is arguably avoided (that is, a petty armed robbery where there is only intention to intimidate and not kill)

the areas with the most gun control in the US (California, Illinois, New York) also have the highest violent crime and homicide rates.
was that the effect or the cause?
disclaimer: I'm all for gun control, as it allegedly gives an edges on police over criminals (albeit very small) but I've not seen any conclusive research as yet. only data mixed and messed up by pro/against group, each own tuned to their own agenda.

found some american data on death by assault:
http://www.cdc.gov/NCHS/data/nvsr/nvsr58/nvsr58_19.pdf
toal homicide: 18361 deaths. us population: 308M, index: 59 homicide per million
italian index: 9 homicide per million
still, even this data proves nothing; because doesn't factor in social and cultural aspect of the american society or the italian one.
data is from 2007

« on: January 13, 2011, 03:58:42 am »(the part on the same domestic violence rate is false, at leas in term of death)
do you have some data for backing that up? in italy there are plenty of strangulations, beating to death and knifing going on even with gun restricted.
population 60M, yearly death from violence acts: 564 (incuding domestic and crime)
