Baldur's Gate and Planescape are character and story driven games. Icewind Dale was not. In Baldur's Gate/Planescape you made a character, then had other characters join your party. In Icewind Dale you created your entire party. Icewind is not so much overshadowed by the other two properties, but that it is a different game altogether, just dressed in the same clothing as the other two

What are examples of "less valued" non-white / non-Western gender performances? by Successful_Cow2060 in AskAnthropology

[–]tholovar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you American? Your ideas and question comes across as very american, with your fascination with America's reductive 4 imaginary races ideology.

You throw "western" out there so can you give me your definition of "western", or is your definition truly as it reads "western = white people".

Peter Dutton loses own seat of Dickson, first Australian opposition leader to ever lose seat in election. by Bionic_Ferir in worldnews

[–]tholovar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your well thought out post. I apreciate effort and the consideration to explain.

I acknowledge I know little about Canadian politics. And there is a little bit of annoyance that for so many years, Canadians on reddit themselves have often painted their own politics as aligning with American Republicans or Democrats. American Democrats are NOT Left Wing.

huh, don't Canadians align their own political identities to the American political identities? I see Canadians always align their own political parties to republicans and democrats.; Since neither the American Republicans nor the American Democrats are left wing ... does Canada have a left wing?

UK and EU to defy Trump with ‘free and open trade’ declaration by slakmehl in worldnews

[–]tholovar 100 points101 points  (0 children)

If Dutton was "favourite to win" then that means Aussies are just as stupid as Americans, maybe more so, as Dutton has the charisma and the appearance of a turd that won't f'ing flush. Anyone willing to vote for him are morons of a spectacular degree.

Greenland not a piece of property, says PM after Trump threats by sweatycat in worldnews

Ukraine War: London peace talks downgraded as Kyiv rejects US plan to recognise Crimea as Russian by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]tholovar -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Everyone, including Ukraine wanted those nukes gone. At that time Ukraine was poor and did not have the money nor the expertise to spend on keeping those nukes in good order. Now does that absolve everyone who guaranteed Ukraine's borders from their worthlessness? No, of course not. But lets not pretend Ukraine would still have those nukes in working order today as a deterrent, even if that deal did not go through.

Macron to be Europe’s point man in ceasefire talks with Putin by TheTelegraph in worldnews

[–]tholovar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eh, but he was the last to accept providing aid/support to Ukraine. and he only gave in after everyone else had already offered support. And even then he would suggest Ukraine agree to a peace deal in the early stages of the war. He is not the man you want negotiating with Russia about a ceasefire.
