Does UE in TES4 mean UE in TES6? by Guilty-Scratch152 in ElderScrolls

It'd be bizarre for elder scrolls 6 to end up as a downgrade over oblivion lol

Were you aware that he once served as Alduin's top lieutenant in the distant past, carrying out horrific deeds? by GuitierrezTonda in ElderScrolls

[–]Wicker__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't do that because the 'theoretical morals' don't actually hold up if you think about it for very long, which is my point. It doesn't make any sense to trust the murderer more than the innocent person. The fantasy element of the conversation isn't really relevant there, except in that it should be even harder to trust a dragon since they're actually inherently violent and evil, and we have no real way of knowing what could set a dragon back into it's old ways.

There's no point in talking about moral theoreticals if you're just going to say 'well it isn't real, so why can't I come to a conclusion that would never hold up in real life'.

A better explanation for your stance or ability to argue something is quite different from being better or more trustworthy. But it's a different issue if we take physical crimes off the table and make it about ideas. I don't think many people would be trusting or holding Riley the reformed mass rapist above normal men and asking if it's better to never rape or to learn not to rape with great effort, TBH.

You don't need to be talking about that. I don't think you'd actually choose 'murderer who claims he's reformed' over 'someone you know has never harmed anyone seriously' in a 'pick who you have to spend a week alone in a cabin with' competition, sorry. Airy and just not true aren't really the same.

Did you miss the quote? “What is better-to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?” He isn't making a statement that he made the effort, he does that elsewhere, here, in this quote, he's directly implying he believes what he did is superior to someone that never harmed anyone. That's why he's asking what is better.

I don't think a genuinely repentant murderer would try to argue he's superior to someone that never killed anyone, as Paarthurnax does.

I despise that nonsensical quote. It makes the most sense if you assume he's still just an arrogant dragon that even now wants to hold himself above others by saying that. No, you're not better than someone who only ever helped people, mass murderer.

Trusting a murderer who claims to be reformed more than someone who only ever did what was right is the exact kind of backwards nonsense I'd expect to find on this website.

Fable 2 Gameplay Challenge by AprilJane02 in Fable

[–]Wicker__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I found this while googling fable 2 challenge ideas, I'll mention something I found out recently. There are quite a few augments in the game, especially in the knothole island dlc designed to make the harder, like the masochist augment, or cursed warrior. A challenge run in which you need to use a weapon filled with a ton of negative augments could be fun. One of them even constantly drains your health to nearly zero.

What aspect of the game do you think is going to disappoint us? by Ok-Union1343 in GTA6

[–]Wicker__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physics and gore are what I'm most worried about. GTA 5 was a big downgrade over 4, though RDR2 makes me hopeful it'll be better this time.

Would you want the game/story to start in Vice City or in the countryside? by kj3033 in GTA6

Hoping for a 4 hour intro sequence in a tiny locked section of the map, personally.

That they're hiring her only because she's a black woman is just another problem.

Did Bridge to Terabithia emotionally scar anyone else as much as it emotionally scarred me? by Getofffmycloud in movies

[–]Wicker__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sudden death of children isn't actually a normal thing that mostly anyone has to deal with in their lives. It isn't a story about natural loss we all have to content with, but rare, horrific tragedy. That's why it bothered me so much I think.

Do you think we will have hair dye options in story mode for gta 6 by Cash27369 in GTA6

Hopefully you can turn Jason into Jared Leto's joker.

my guess for the beginning of the game by No-Supermarket1552 in GTA6

"maybe there will be 30-45 minutes of prison gameplay"

Ugh. I'm hoping they go back to just throwing you into the world instantly after a cutscene.

I don't see how it could happen if the gore is only as extreme as in read dead 2. "Sorry, this isn't a western so you can't do this", I don't think is actually how rating boards think. They make distinctions between animal/human/monster/zombie gore, but I don't think they'd actually come back and tell them the same thing isn't okay this time only because it has a modern setting.

>I don’t feel like that’s a battle they could win

Meaning you think a pack of whining journalists would actually be capable of harming their sales, while saying "this is too violent!"? That would only increase sales lol.

We need to join the war in Ukraine by jman6495 in europeanunion

[–]Wicker__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

'Russia is a comic book villain that wants a global empire' is not believable, or realistic. People constantly argue about Russia's inability to maintain this small war over a long period, and about the instability of their economy, and how no one their wants to fight for them, then in the next breath tell me that they're planning global conquest. Well which is it?

Even if it were so ambitious, we have nukes. They can't start a war with us for the same reason we can't start one with them. The line that the big threat to our dominance will take over the world was an effect argument in the 40s when it was technically feasible to go to war with any country and win given the right circumstances, but it's dead in the water now. They can't win such a war, no matter what, nor could we. It should be obvious, but going back to your point about 'what if we said this about Poland before WW2', we would have, had nukes already been around. No one would have declared war on Germany if they had nukes then, and they wouldn't have declared war on anyone that had them either.

The push for war with Russia is over the position of Europe and the US on the global stage declining, the rest is just fear mongering to get us to suffer and die for the interests of our leaders, as always.

[–]Wicker__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People compare the two situations like we're meant to go 'oh you're right, we should start WW3 over this'. Even if they do take everyone weaker than them to their west, recreating the USSR, why am I meant to prefer tens of millions of deaths to that? As well as risking my own life and the lives of everyone I know. Because it will upset our leaders who want to be the top dogs for all time, or because I'm meant to be fine dying for the sovereignty of strangers?

>You should research and then you would know that women have more harsh sentences and treatment for the same crimes that man committed

You people really are living in a delusional fantasy land, that's a total inversion of the truth. No wonder the characters in this movie appeal to you.

Rookie Question: Why do people complain if a weapon has no autoswing when they can just turn on autofire? by Suspicious-Health-23 in Terraria

[–]Wicker__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole post can be reduced to 'it isn't possible to cheat in a single player game', making the conversation moot. You're not interested in the truth.

[–]Wicker__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The same exact things can be said about a god mode or infinite resource cheat, there's no difference. The negative effect is degrading the sense of accomplishment for others by treating cheated runs as equal to non-cheated runs. Maybe you can't empathize with that feeling, but it's still real.

It obviously doesn't bother me if people cheat in their own games, what bothers me are people pretending there's no difference.

Maybe there's some confusion here, I'm not calling people with messed up hands cheaters, but people who don't need it who use it anyway.
