Because they destroy a culture from the inside out, introducing it into a society along with hybrid Marxism and pc thinking is a easy way to strip a nation and a people of all identity and ground the hapless nation into submission, its a slave mentality. A power play good for the elite who hold to non such views themselves. Just like Christianity was used in the past, now its this, and the flat earther version of atheism, to those who ironically make a religion of it in there non scientific evangelism, for all intents and purposes. ''Faith in Atheism of a true believer''. A simple adaptation, but the same things apply as time gos by. The effect is functionally the same. An easy way for the truly strong, weak or cunning to hold and keep power over the clueless. Ask many dictators, and look how there inner circle conducts themselves. No conspiracy, its very open, just use logic, reason, study the present and history...consider sociology and current popular attitude, a monkey could figure it out. The masking is thin, and its adapted, but the philosophy has escaped the third word for sure. More and more see this so its becoming less and less of a issue contextually.

Could it be said that what we see in the opposition is of our own observation or is it the mental imagery supplied by those in the various media sources we subscribe to?Could we be holding the mental imagery of these people so close that we, like Nietzsche said, have become the monsters we perceive the opposition is and in doing so have doomed ourselves to the political situation that we are presently in? Yes, you have become what you call them, and they no longer are, human nature dose not change, so to maintain the delusion bate and switch is required. No trade can last for ever. Give power and raise to the scorned and you have a new scorned, who will take your power and cast you down for the same reasons as you did it in a different configuration. Harmonization and allowing for enlightened contrast and the variation of perception: acknowledging the law of identification and discerning the basic elements of reality as it apply to individuals sociology/psychology/genetic biology and imperatives that always win out. Knowing these understandings are your only key, and the true meaning of tolerance and aiding the course of life and evolution. What is. Is, and will be always. All by reason and logic with contextual awareness. No Dream remains unchanging, no distortion or cross patching holds forever.

  I think Trump is only interested in making money whether its for USA, Russia, himself, or for his love of asbestos/ coal/ steel/ St0rmy Daniels/ whatever he wants. At this time, Trump haven't execute any people for being inferior, Jew, gay, or disabled. No world war occurred. War costs money even Trump will probably avoid that. That's probably the most simple and level headed thing I've ever read about Trump lately. lol. It's not necessarily good or bad, but it at least stays on track on what we know he's clearly guilty of so far. Strangely, it was Bill Clinton of all people who was once praised for the same thing. He and his campaign manager James Carville had that famous quote: "It's the economy, stupid." This was the extent of the Democrat Party's focus at the time: They knew the bottom line of politics was ONLY the "economy, stupid". All other policy decisions flowed from that. Clinton even wanted to build a Wall himself! Now there's hand-wringing about every issue under the sun, how the world is imploding and the sky is falling for each one of them, and all of the ways (real or imagined) that someone isn't suitable to be in politics.. since it'll apparently destroy us all. edit: For the record, I actually voted for Hillary. So I'm not even pro-Trump. Even though I voted this way, I'm just a realist. Who the hell wants to be so sad and pissed off (let alone scared) all the time? Not me at least. I got over monsters under my bed when I was a toddler. Thanks. Secondly, I don't think the Democrats care anymore about these fundamentals (economy) and focus on moral issues because Political affiliation has become some bizarre replacement for Religion... some kind of body of thought that encompasses "all of one's life" apparently. Where Politics suddenly means everything to people. Except what's actually important (ahem.. the economy, stupid). If that's the case, that might be my last vote ever, if things turn out this way. I know where to find philosophy and morals elsewhere.. and it isn't politics. Politics was supposed to be a boring numbers game, and now it's ruined. Since people dropped good institutions or families, they want to look to Politics to fill the gap (those needs are always there.. even when you get rid of the institutions.. and now they're left with the most Souless thing to focus their attention on. It's sad to see). /rant off Yeah its a creepy pc propagandized cult in a way. There is a reason for it but that is beyond the scope of this topic, its coming to the close of its purpose anyway. In my opinion all indicators do point to, one last flare up then poof, its as you were. However with intended variations, less hostility/antagonism than during the ''PC'' read new-age version of: Christianity/fanatical zealotry, Flat-earthier type, non scientific atheism/Anti-individualist/Marxism. Its very funny actually, very silly/Ironic. That is what the new age PC movement is when you strip of the pretense, trappings, assorted bs/metaphor, and get done to the bare bone basics and its unsupportable effects on society. Most in power know this even its advocates to degree, watch there acts not there words. Its old hat and being harmonized/balanced, as we speak. Best let it run its course and stay away, not get sucked under with them in the scheme of things. Its a contrived cycle. Take that eccentric statement as you will, no further comment about that. You seem to be a smart guy, you'll figured it out if you haven't already. Non of this is any big secret or revelation, its as obvious as the k-mart, Casanovas sniffing around the women, at your local bar. Politics in layers. Things not being about what they are supposed to be about, but working in strange variations, in excess, misdirection for the simply non perceptive, too close to it. That has always been part of the way of politics. Minorities and real liberalism is simply and conventionally, being used, twisted, and exploited/degraded by the pc movement as a easy mark. Most on the street are just not smart enough to see how this is so, or don't want to on some level for contrived personal reasons. Just as well. Many a people and individual have sold themselves for a media blurb , a kiss on the rear, and a cheap thrill. The oldest hook. Its like playing ''King of the Mountain" and standing there inventing your own little new world that cant support itself where the parents look on and laugh and cheer them on, only on a mass level. While the kids play the adults not raising a cheer go off to work, smiling. As long as there is min, propping up and careful lip service, with a half plausible backing. It never had to make absolute sense. The media is happy to help, its what they do, in part, after all, scent the winds blowing this way and that and follow the cool metaphorical indicative, breeze. Just a cool breeze. Much is obvious to many from what I read, and see of there words, all over the place. People are waking up in mass from a creepy dream, and getting it now. They are being allowed, to get a rein on things now that it no longer politically matters long term, that is.

It would be wise to wonder at this point, If ''mages initiation'' Himalayan/agdi 'while 'not a fake'' could be a semi-scam, just the same? The kids that wanted to play this now have kids of there own! With the degree of stretch goals and dragging it out over decades, my ideas are: 1. Perhaps these people seem to be toying for more money, dragging there feet. 2. They are ocd, and processes involved with developing have over time, become its own end and meaning. 3. They don't know the point in a project where you let go, say its done....and release a update, if need be for pragmatic reasons: That is my kindest theory. 4. worse case, and I don't really believe this: what they released so far to the backers is all they have. Any thoughts?

Globally and historically speaking, its been good for economies and wining well, dose good for the given leaders legacy, also the common man, needs a enemy to be happy, again historically if they cant find one they create one,...or there will be in fighting if too much time passes. Such as civil war from internal bickering. Its human nature up to a point, and the reason for the distasteful blood spectacles of the arena in Rome...before we had tv or the news for sickos to enjoy. The people demanded it through pretense. Its hard coded into there genetics. There however are people that are exceptions to this that prove the rule. They are often not liked from a early age and are probably subconsciously thought to be mutants or aberrations. "'unless wealthy'' Probably noticed at a young age by the other children, because they lack the innate cruelty of young children, such as boys torment bugs or killing kittens, kicking/peeing on/dogs, and such.

Totally Cringe-worthy I agree. When they still,go on about that. I'm embarrassed but..its the special type of embarrassment, you know, the kind one feels for people too senseless to be embarrassed for themselves.

That sort of thing always sounds good, its the lies of every fantastical revolutionary, but the whole of it is based upon a lie and a obvious manipulation of the have hand have nots. He supports the merchants because he has to. The merchant class has always wanted to be aristocracy, and have always helped to bring down the class the secretly wanted to join under the correct circumstances, but the whole of that is too complicated to get into here and its not so simple. Though, the sort of people who will look at a beautiful family mansion steeped in tradition and see no more than hate or loathing at what the call the excesses, and say such places are obsolete. They will look at the paintings of old masters and feel nothing or at worst contempt and hate. The feel the need to change every story or remake every film to be just as simple mindless, cloned, canned and hypocritical as they are. They are also that insecure and afraid of anything of real power. They respect no culture or people but there own, despite the lies an come to destroy in the guise of love for all, impossibility and delusion. They are nothing. Its the old gospel of the roving warlord or the pocket dictator in the end complete with the hypocrisy. I find it pathetic and ironic. The problem is, with all the good sounding ideas that at first are based on genuine sophisticated principles, but without proper guidance turn to cult like fanaticism and chaos. everything carried to an extreme and indoctrinated into people under the lie that it is in there or there groups on self interest when its not so. ''There are no groups btw, just gathering of individuals. Everyone is alone, even among others. Everyman is an island, even if hes very social. The context of what I'm saying here should be considered.'' The neo-new age thought that was in part responsible for this otherwise great game, has no beauty in it, no distinction, is anti-life, and I contextualy see no great wisdom in this. To try and maintain some illusion, some connected idea, of life where everything is the same as everything else and therefor worthless, and every pleasure that makes a unique human beings life worth living every distinction or possibly is taken away, even there very identity...all that's left to enjoy is lust, to define oneself by the conventionally bestial, and defend this as good, to identify and defend this,with none of the charm or innate, contextual innocence or grace of such an animal...and even that, is turned crude, and there is very little joy or love left in it. Finally only despair. This is hell on earth...evil. Stupid evil. Pure and simple. Prime-evil, when taken out of context, with no true leadership. People are trying to milk the only thing left to them and hating others who are normal under the guise of being libertarian, isn't that a scream? That is not the point of this philosophy at all by the way. Things are as they are for a reason. Take are own society, don't bother, just set back and watch, enjoy the show as the circus comes to its own end, when horrified others are finally standing back and seeing plainly whats actually threatened, and that its no longer about what its superposed to be about....and things change under the wight of human nature and external circumstances, as the are beginning to do now. Protests are a waste of time and vital energy, I can think of many better things to do that are more worth while, like scratching my rear end, or noticing architectural details at random. I'm serious. It all makes me laugh. This game is just a metaphor of such a simple pattern it requires very little thought at all. -

How do you use the mod that way?
-
What if Flemieth got pregnant with the male wardens baby as a alternate option rather than fight her or endanger Morrigan? One could tell Morrigan ,but it would be some how contrived to be a secret, that would not be directly referenced or mentioned in the next game but could be worked into origins to link with something or explain some plot hole...in the next game. Sort of a ''Reverse -ret -conning''? For fan fiction modded scenario? Dialog is all you would need. The rest would be assumed to have happen off camera.
-
ROMANCE SKILL PACK 1_3 only problem is that its not immersive enough, it should force a brief reaction of acknowledgment from npc that it happened, or a line when you click on them...otherwise it seems not authentic and reminds you its a game while playing. There could be at least a silly or playful response. Examples: WTH just happened? Or: I cant believe I just did that! Or: With a world to save, are you sure we have time for this sort of thing, Grey warden? More: Wow, I didn't see that one coming! Last: ''used on Random commoner/peasant'': Dose this mean I am a ''conscripted'' gray warden now?!...and/or: Was this the joining ritual? I swallowed the taint, and everything...I don't feel any different....''mumbles''.

I would like a user-friendly, Tool that Allowed Dialog editing, through Splicing words into different dialog, and text. It could be a exe tool. Pull up character and'' wordbank'' of lines,all specific character related dialog. In splicing window, make word chooses from bank splice, and play it back to test, then replace the dialog with your altered line. Hit save and import/replace to default location. Makes auto back up. No condition would need be worried about, or other parameters, because your just Searching/splicing, modifying already present lines, in there given context. It Creates new sound/text file formatted with game structure/file type/, copy and replace in default location which the tool would such far upon installation, otherwise browse to game location.

Sten's not that bad on second thought.
skyquest32 replied to skyquest32's topic in Dragon Age: Origins's Discussion
Your thinking early stargate-sg1 before the continued the show past its time, and it wore out it welcome. Sten could step into that television mythology, and he could be one of those guys with the symbol on there heads''Jaffa'' quite easily were these different circumstances. I always thought the ''Goa'uld'' in SG-SG1 were terribly romantic and amusing, if portrayed a little over the top, to force propaganda. The Goa'uld were beautiful and Life affirming somehow. Most of them, not all. With the horrors people inflect on each other everyday, in the news, without listing to proper philosophical leadership, and in keeping with base Un-modified, non illusory reinforced, human nature. I am hard pressed to see the villainy in such things in a fictional context, as symbolism, I see only the beauty in such shows. The Potential order, evolutionary metaphor, possibility of innocence and Aesthetics, Discernment. Also a metaphor for the destruction of cultures from the outside, without understanding, which is common historically. To Paraphrase a famous storyteller: Many a man ''civilization'' Has tried to make his ''its'' own wonderland, but the barbarians always come knocking, in the end. -

Harrowmont on the issues but admittedly, had I been playing a dwarven noble, I would have gone for the idiot, to get reinstated into my house. Yet I would feel bad, like a tragic villain, because tradition and honor are vital, to the integrity of a society. Yet I would not lose my place altogether in it. I guess in that case, as a noble, I would have to subtly spend my life making up for it. If the dwarves change, it should be gradual and represent an evolution of thought, not at the whim of a radical, and all at once and there should be a need ''not generic perfect world bs''. Some things would not change overnight in the reign of ether one. Yet I believed the prince an unstable Ebenezer scrooge on Christmas morn, a grinning nut job, with a thin coat of paint, and a lot of screwy untested ideas, that only sound good to some but would be unwise to test during a blight/civil war. The Boys father on his death be,d made Harrowmont swear not to let his son rule. He could be a closet loony for all we know, like the dude trying to open the chantry, they would love the free lyruim that would allow for btw!.Oh my yes! Still would have sided with the Golem paragon though...I wished I could have convinced him to live and teach the wisdom of his centuries. His Terminator 2 like death was sad. He could have taught the crafting of wonders, exo-skeltal armored suits, who knows what else...not just golems. Poor Iron man. I got Bankia with a arrow but the other one ran, when I offered to end it as a grey warden would. I would guess she prefers the nasty talk, and eating dead darkspawn and fears death enough to remain a ghoul until she becomes a darkspawn. Well, I respect her right to choose anyway. *grins* She might hook up with Ruk, and open a mom and pop shop, its not unthinkable...albeit unlikely. Besides, when things eventually start to fall off gender wont be much of a issue, nor preference! So there's that. Its the way of Zombies! Together they could give a Homey touch to the dark spawn Armor, and weapons! Maybe ol' Briar rat ''nug?'' Could be the shops mascot. Totally homey, and Dwarven Gothic at the same time! Metal! Also I like shale and though I would have like to listen to Morgan as she always gives wise advise, well almost, it can seem cold but its usually logical pragmatic, given the blight...though I still choose to aid people like the robed family...anyways...keeping the Anvil would have meant letting evil Banka live, nothings worth that, after what she did. Even more dps against the dark-spawn is not worth that. I killed her on general principle, and that in part dictated my choice. I never thought the other paragon should have martyred himself, it was exquisitely stupid and a waste, yet I understand and respect his decision. Oh well shale's happy at least! Probably Ogrhan too, though it would be un politic to not seem ambivalent about it, all things considered, I don't blame him. Oghren in fact, was not even really to fussed about it, poor little guy. That it should come to that in 3 different ways. I would be getting out of the dwarven underground too, if I were him.
