[quote who="Oatesy03" reply="1012" id="2952292"]BTW on the subject of Exarches, are they literally bound to their armour, as in it is a non-organic continuation of their body, or are they simply spiritually incomplete without it? Does the process of becoming an Exarch include voluntarily donning a previous Exarch's suit? If so, what if one becomes locked in the Path of War while wearing their own Aspect armour? Is that how a "new" Exarch is born?[/quote] It's a bit complicated

[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="8" id="2952276"]Online multiplayer in any game is not for everyone. It's not for, how shall I put it, girly-men with thin skins who overreact to every little comment someone makes. I suppose it isn't for sensitive people with low self-esteem. It's for laid-back cool people who can roll with the punches. There are some jerks online, but having to suffer them is a small price to pay in order to enjoy a higher-quality game.&nb

[quote who="Oatesy03" reply="997" id="2951953"]Interesting that you'd choose a 7.62 round for shorter ranges and a 5.56 round for longer-distance engagements.[/quote] Well my preference is the 7.62x39mm for shorter range engagements; higher projectile mass allows the bullet to be assured to "put the target down", i.e. do lots of damage to people. A 7.62x51mm (or the 7.62 NATO) weapon is far superior in a longer-range engagement certainly. [quote who="Oatesy03" reply="997"

Interesting. The interactions are fairly well written, and the actions pretty good. Personally, not really to my taste, but then again I've only really liked two or three fantasy series.
