WC4 nitpicks

That was Seether. Both Blair and Seether 'think' about having what (Tolwyn for Blair, "the old man" for Seether) "calls a come to Jesus talk". It was a neat trick for revealing Tolwyn early on.

Plus, as I recall, didn't Paulson have a "come to Jesus" meeting with either Blair or Eisen in the novel?

Which, if you were paying attention, clearly gave away who the Black Lance boss was. Even though I read the novel after playing the game, that made it oh-so obvious, and I liked it.

Paulsen was GIVEN the 'Come to Jesus' talk, but he only gave Blair the recruitment speech that Harnett tried to use on Eisen. Needless to say, because of the presenter and the way things were presented... it didn't work.

Eh, I'd like to think that there's more to Blair not becoming a genocidal maniac than the fact that he didn't like Paulson. :)

Paulsen never talked about the genocide bit - just that the military government should remain in control, as an ordered safe universe was preferable to the sort of bickering and backstabbing that led to the total bombardments of Warsaw, Sirius Prime, Gilead, and various other Outer and Inner Worlds, plus the loss of most of the remaining defense fleet at the Battle of Earth.

Fortunately, Paulsen's a prick and Blair's too cynical. :D
 
"Nanoweapon" is the term best used to describe GenSelect since it has no biologic components. Every conventional weapon has to do something to living tissue but that doesn't make them bioweapons.
 
Paulson himself though a part of the conspiracy in Confed was just an expendable pawn who probably got nowhere near a Black Lance installation, and was killed after his ship was destroyed.

Since I played WC4 for the first time in 1996, I thought it was moronic of Paulsen to send Blair and Vagabond to stop Eisen and Maniac. Paulsen was killed because he was a spectacular failure. Before the Lexington was destroyed, he probably had a good performance record, despite his being a prick.
 
He was a political climber, not a military commander - his only other command resulted in a minor catastrophe.
 
Dervish, what does your time of play have to do with anything? I first played it when I rented it, meaning before CD burners became available to the public. I just now bought it because when it was retail it was 99.95 and I rarely buy things over eBay.

I think it's a lift to Decom

The pilot has already had a chance to come into contact with every other pilot and alot of the tech crews. I figure if they were serious about decon, they would do it alot sooner than that lift :).

C-ya
 
No point in the discussion per se, Amerika, I just wanted to provide some background, that's all.

Tolwyn's mistake for assigning him, then.

The effects of a bullet are entirely biological, but it's not a bioweapon.

it depends on where the bullet is going. if its aimed at a person then it is boilogical, but it can be aimed at other stuff, like buildings, streetlamps, cars, etc which arent biological.

I think so too, because when you land after your first mission, Rachel tells you where to go and she says something like go up that lift to decon or something like that. I agree its kinda stupid since you come into contact with the ground crew, the techs, other pilots, anybody who happens to be on the launch deck, etc

What I meant was that a bullet acts biologically when it impacts a human body by causing tissue damage and shock, but just like the nanoprobes, it is not really a "bioweapon".

ah ok np, btw awesome signature lol.


Also I found another nitpick. when the Intrepid jumps in behind the Vesuvius and we see the scene from the Vesuvius bridge looking outward, you'll see the jump gate open and then close like 5 seconds before Tolwyn told the helmsman to abort the jump. and there was something else but I forget it right now(just finished off wc4 for the hundredth time lol)
