Housing is gone? Wohoo.

I wanted it changed since the early betas.

 

Edit: After watching the video:

Don't heard anything about housing.

Also... with an interview... don't you usually have questions?

This is in the comments for the video.

Kinda sad that Paxton joind the Stardock republicans.

Um what? Brad mentioned that some people object to his personal Libertarian political views, but this is ridiculous.

Yeah, it's really silly. Imo Brad goes quite the way to keep his political opinions away from the gaming part. So who he votes for doesn't matter at all to the game (and that's from somebody who probably has a 180° different view towards politics ).

But then, you never really expected good or insightful comments on a website dealing mainly with videos, did you? (I call it the youtube comments effect.)

Ah, just saw that post too.

I'm about as liberal as you can be these days, and I have no problem with Brad- he's one of the good guys.  I just wish business owners like Brad were more common, this country would be better off that way.

Yeah, no kidding. You sure as hell can't question his business ethics (whatever that means).

I think Fallen Enchantress is going to be a great game if it is done right (imo) it could be better the SMACX.

Hahahahaha Stardock republicans!  What a fucking crazy thing to even think about.  Who gives a shit what political party the guys who make my video games are?  Really, shit, so fucking ridiculous.  I might give a shit if they were crazy Fascist or Nazi or NAMBLA.  The world is filled with people who give a shit about the least important crap.

Yea, it's amazing just how polarized people get on this stuff.  For the record, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, I'm an independent and not political in my day to day life.  But I will debate politics, religion, hardware, OSes, etc.  Worst flame wars I've ever been in were the OS/2 vs. Windows flame wars. 

The other thing that amazes me is that those people who feel they got burned on War of Magic get Fallen Enchantress for free. And to be fair, War of Magic is a pretty decent game and has been for a long time.  The entitlement attitude...ugh.

I believe only slave owners should be allowed to vote. In addition, making the world a better place by killing anyone who isn't a member of your church is the highest calling anyone can have, and those who do so shall be absolved of all sins.

That clip is hilarious. Nice to see what you 2 look like, it seems you guys are not used to talk in front of the camera.

I prefer real people with real knowledge about what they are doing instead of some slick marketing type person trying to sell the product.

I have high hopes for FE knowing that the right people are working on it.

 

Say, is the release date still Q2? I'd like to know when it'll come out.

Yeah....those marketingtypes who talk alot but don't actually SAY anything makes me lose faith in humanity. I can't believe that they don't understand that they're NOT useful!

 

There isn't a releasedate. In the textinterview by Strategyinformer Kael said there isn't one. They plan to go (open)beta around spring though.

Yea, it's one thing to think the WoM game was bad, or that that it was unfinished, or blah, blah, blah.  But the one complaint that has really made me hate humanity a little more is that Stardock if screwing people by making FE a stand alone game instead of a "true" expansion.  Even though they are getting it for fucking FREE or discounted.  That shit boggles the mind.  Brad, I know you refrain from telling people to go fuck themselves, but really, some of us deserve it from time to time.  I know I do

Crossthread from FE: Weapons...  Lord Xia is a cross of all three weapon damage types... Blunt, cutting and piercing!  And that is why the most uber magical weapon in the game should be Xia's Rejoinder... a two handed weapon with a spearpoint at one end and a hammer and axe blade at the other...   Pure awesomeness! (like his posts!).

Darn it... I should have waited for the FE Design-a-weapon contest!!
