Like I totally agree that Reagan and such should be on bills and stuff, but I haven't seen any arguments that address how Tubman is a bad choice while controlling for there being other bills.

The best things to put on our bills would be figureheads/symbols that represent what we want as a country. Tubman does this.

The only points being argued are
1. she's not pretty
2. There are other people
Why do these make her a poor choice? Legitimately? All this proves is that you are kind of an starfish and that there are other people who would be a good choice. We have other bills, guys.

kennedy or reagan or FDR or uh... clinton and nixon
all right so you are just dumb
BESIDES, JUST BECAUSE TUBMAN WAS VOTED TO BE ON DOES NOT MEAN THAT OTHER PEOPLE CANT BE ON THE BILLS

Moreover, there are other bills. I can't think of another more symbolic woman, at least off of the top of my head, for the US

There isn't anything inherently sjw with putting her on the bill, she was an important figure.

The one thing I really hate about this forum is the way you guys show people you hate such a double standard.
Sure, bins stupid and in the wrong but "btw" and "p sure"are really common phrases and there was no legitimate reason to hound him about that lmao. It happens with almost every high-profile topic:people lacking self-awareness attack someone for something that, if that someone hadn't been drama'd, would have been fine.

« on: May 11, 2015, 10:15:19 PM »2 handed warrior character runs up to 2 handed warrior bandit NPClow quality does not mean turn based. You can also dodge and stuff, its not a great system, but it isn't turn based lmao.
to loosely quote yahtzee: they get into a kicking contest and the one who has the biggest boots going into the fight wins
this is a low quality fighting system.
balancing as in difficulty, and specifically the levels of difficulty. in novice-legendary, the intelligence of the AI doesn't change. the movement, choices, and positioning of the AI doesn't change. all that changes is that their weapons and armor are more effective, and yours less so.
the three choice dialog system is partially a problem of the UI, but it is also a problem with the three-choice style of the game. for example, in the Dawnguard questline, you can either A: be a vampire that is against Harkon or B: be a vampire hunter that wants to kill all vampires. there is no middle ground in this game; it's just black and white.
the characters not being fleshed out is a perfect example of the game not being finished; it shows that they didn't have time to do anything interesting with about 90% of the characters.
it's more of a problem with me not liking the parts of the game they put low effort into.
the balancing issue is a legitimate issue, though it would have taken much more development time.
In the dawnguard you can become a vampire hunter who is a vampire. Sure, it could use more options, but a lot of the characterization is hard to implement as your character constantly has new experiences and is not locked in a dlc area.
Thats not how it works. One-sided characters is not indicative of an unfinished game. Are they supposed to give every character an elaborate backstory? There needs to be useless npcs to give it an illusion of an actual city. Moreover, many characters have backstories if you look around. A lot of useless npcs have events that characterize them, you just have to be there to witness them. Radiant quests also helps this.
It is very hard to make a game as big as Skyrim and have every part super polished. Especially since mods will almost always improve some part of the game, making some people think that that means the game was unfinished.

« on: May 11, 2015, 09:51:16 PM »are you reading at allThat doesn't mean it was unfinished lmao. Sure, it wasn't as polished as it could have been, but we got finished products.
those are literally all mods to fix the game
how...?
they can, but the majority of these are general improvements and fixes
why are you even trying to defend this, everyone knows this about bethesda games
A lot of bug fixes fix bugs that are fixed by other bug fixes.
Literally nothing on the front page of overhauls is a bug fix overhaul. Literally nothing. Could be wrong, as I just skimmed through but even then it is a minority of bug fix mods. Moreover, the mods were not created to fix bugs.
Bug fixes are obviously bug fixes, but a lot of bugs are fixed by multiple different mods.
Patches also includes things like Climates of Tamriel and Audio Overhaul, neither of which are bug fix mods.
Im not arguing that bethesda games aren't buggy, what I am arguing is that it isn't some cardinal sin, nor is it an indicator of an unfinished game.
even disregarding the bugs, users still have to fix the stuffty might-as-well-be-turn-based combat system, the numerous balancing issues, the three-choice dialog system, the one sided characters, the forgettable dungeons that all seem to blur together, and the boring and percentage based perk system.Those are not fixes lmao. Those are changes, a fix is a change to something that is broken to make the broken thing work as intended.
-The combat is no where near turn based
-balancing issues is a concern, though a discussion could be had on whether a single player game needs to be balanced, and many players would not like the game to be balanced.
-three-choice dialog system? Are you talking about the stuffty UI, because if so, I agree.
-One-sided characters, sure the characters aren't as well fleshed out as a more focused games such as dragon age, but there are plenty of interesting characters.
-the forgettable dungeons are only really a problem in oblivion and to an extent FO3. Skyrim and NV did a great job varying up the dungeons.
-boring and percentage based perk system: I agree.
regardless, these aren't fixes lmao
