I guess I'll have to pick one up cheap at the Bazzar 
Even slicing through someone's throat isn't instantaneously deadly or instantly incapacitating (They have a few seconds)
QuoteThere's a difference between a bullet going in you and a big ass sword.
Same thing really. Dying is dying.
maybe when bandits become more like criminals/low lifes who just want your money and stuff and not bloodthirsty madmen with the skills and experience of ex-army who kill everyone in sight for "fun?"
There was actually a fair mix. A lot of local banditry did spring up from retired military who lacked other job skills and turned to what they were good at - hurting people - to make money. Look at the ronin tradition in Japan - their robbery and protection rackets in vulnerable areas are supposedly the origin of its largest organized crime families.
So that makes a sex change operation a medical procedure to correct a disorder?Isn't being transgendered a mental/physical disorder?
Depends on your definition of a disorder. I think the current working definition among psychologists is "anything that makes the patient's life significantly more difficult" in which case the answer is that being trans and not having made the switch is a disorder, but once a trans person has become comfortable with their body/gender it would cease to be a disorder because they can live comfortably with no unusual assistance.
Anyway, I'm still not 100% sure what is being argued.
Eh, I've broken a finger before, and a toeQuotePain is way too high for broken bones right now. Breaking your fingers should not cause you to pass out unless you're a pansy
Your fingers actually have a lot of nerves in them, more than a knee. I've never broken a finger before so I don't know if you would pass out of not but I think that breaking your fingers would hurt more than dislocating your knee.
Anyway I think that it sounds good however before the happens the medical system may need to be enhanced. Right now the hospital doesn't seem to operate fast enough and if the chief medical doctor is on break he doesn't care if there is a critical patient.
Hurts like a bastard (you'd be surprised how little you want to walk with a broken toe) but overall not that bad unless you try to use it
As long as you splint it quickly, finger and toe bones heal pretty quickly (a few days, maybe?) and the pain isn't too bad.
Bone breaks in general are more of a throbbing pain than the sort of sharp, shocking pain that would drive you into unconsciousness.
I had wanted to play the original. Might join eventually....that one update.
What update would that be, by the way?
The game has gone through two major upgrades: the "Combat Upgrade" (CU) and later the "New Game Enhancement" (NGE), its final form. Gameplay mechanics for combat and armor/weapon systems received a major update in April 2005 when SOE released the Combat Upgrade that replaced a system that allowed players with combat professions to stack defensive abilities from various skill sets, while also fixing an exploit that allowed players to have their character attack freshly spawning non-player characters (NPC) and creatures while away from their computers in order to gain combat skill experience. The New Game Enhancements were implemented in November 2005. Major changes included the reduction and simplification of professions, simplification of gameplay mechanics, and Jedi becoming a starting profession.
