By putting it in the FAQ, you make it that way, because then it is official site policy, which the mods have to enforce unless the community overrides it.
I'm saying that in some cases it can lead to sub-optimal titles.
Not that in every case it leads to crappy titles.
However, allowing spoilers has the downside of people discovering our site, finding spoilers in related question titles even though they weren't looking for that game and never returning again.
@ArdaXi All the fancy lazers could have that same effect. They could claim the style hurts their eyes. THey could say "I dont want people editing my stuff" and leave. They could be not come back because the main symbol is a 8-bit heart. so should we change all of that?
If you try to please everybody, then you please no-one
@ArdaXi Then you clearly haven't been on the internet long enough. There is every type of person on the internet. People who want spoilers, and people who want to have a printer dropped on their head, its the freaking internet xD
Still, I think that the group of people who want to avoid spoilers outweigh the group who want to be accidentally spoiled by so much that the latter group is completely insignificant.
Besides, on average people attach much, much more value to being spoiled than to arbitrary design choices.
In my debate, I defend my opinion with my views and thoughts. There is no hard data, so there is no real way to analyze pros and cons far as I can see.
Since there isn't enough money to buy everything in one playthrough, and the estimated credits total in the game is at around 800k, I'm trying to figure out how many playthroughs I'll need to be able to afford to fully buy/upgrade everything in the game. But how much is that exactly? If you sum...
So...I just finished ME3 and I choose the option to destry the reapers...as some of you may know both endings show the Normandy crashed and Joker and the others come out...but my ending was like a mix of them both.When the Normandy door opened the credits started.They didn't show Joker!After the ...
...huh, Fortification and Defense Matrix are apparently functionally identical. I was typing up a question asking about how Defense Matrix works and apparently it would've basically been the same question as @Tyler's about Fortification.
@TylerShads Apparently! I hadn't looked at the Fortification question at all because, well, I don't have it on me or my squaddies, but I didn't really understand how Defense Matrix was supposed to work.
I am forging some new weapons for myself, but I don't want to waste my hard earned resources on a two-handed weapon. (I am proficient in one-handed battle)
Oh, @FallenAngelEyes, I tried to determine an equation for the ME2 fuel question after collecting more data, but no dice. :( I assume it's some base + (random factor * distance weight), but...Still doesn't appear to be much rhyme or reason to which mineral it selects, though it seems to usually be a toss-up between Iridium and Palladium for me.

In Skyrim is there a way to tell if a sword is one or two handed without picking it up. I'm not a fan of two handed weapons and I don't want to pick them up just to drop them when I realize it's not one handed. Specially, I want to know about swords but the answer may apply to other weapons as we...
@agent86 If you prefer fighting at a distance, wouldn't something with better range options suit you more? Vanguard's weapon passives don't help SMG at all.
> Unless I am mistaken (which is entirely possible), we didn't get the kickass rifles in time before they sold out. Lauren or Seth will confirm (or refute). If it is indeed the case that we're tragically rifle-less, we'll pick another (equally awesome) prize option to replace it, so never fear. – Abby T. Miller 15h ago
Hmm...Now to decide if I want to share just enough posts to park myself at Mission 3, or to continue my push to Mission 6 anyway...
I don't really want a Vita, and I kinda..have everything else (or comparable) on the page besides the bag/comics, so until I see what they replace the rifle with the comics are probably what I'm after most. Should go ahead and share those posts, then, I suppose.
@FallenAngelEyes Looking over all the classes, there's not really one that I look at and go "I'd use all these powers" - having the option of close quarters but balancing the class more towards ranged combat seems to be working for me. Maybe if I play on a harder difficulty the second time around I'll have to rethink my strategies.
@FallenAngelEyes thanks! I was getting kind of close yesterday, and on a whim I shared a couple of links this morning that apparently put me over the top.
@agent86 Yeah, cloak isn't quite as useful as I'd like it to be, but I have found it relatively helpful in certain cases. In particular, when flanking enemy snipers, you can easily get up close enough to gut them without being detected.
If you don't know what the ME3 DLC is about, you may get spoiled.
I did the From Ashes mission, and now I have a living Prothean as a potential squadmate. However, in the first mission after rescuing him, I wasn't able to select him, he was grayed out.
He did mention that I was lying with words...
Out of curiosity and because it's free to play I downloaded Lord of the Rings Online to try out. However I'm unable to get the sign up form to work on the website. https://signup.lotro.com/lotro.php?ftui=LOTRONOV2011 When I fill in the details the form just comes back with the password, birthday ...
I'm not far enough in to be able to answer the plot questions. I can answer the nerdy lore questions likethese though, because I've consumed pretty much everything related to ME (games, comic books, novels) in the past month.
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, at the moment I'm at Mission 4 if I were to share the necessary number of posts...Not sure if I could actually get to 6 or not in the first place, since that's quite a few 5+ posts.
@TimStone honestly, I was thinking that I'd probably end up at the bag rank, and maybe work hard towards the keyboard. The console seemed like a stretch, and the TV right-out.
@TimStone I might roll Adept next time... maybe...
Infiltrator was a fave in the first game, except for the sniper rifle sway towards the beginning of the game.
@agent86 If I end up staying at rank 4, I'll be choosing the headphones, m'self. I already have 2 keyboards hooked up to this pc, don't need another, haha.
@FallenAngelEyes Those headphones look sweet especially if they really do work across all platforms. I'm debating picking them up for myself. I got every current gaming platform in the house (minus the PSP/Vita), so it'd be nice to have something that I can use all over.
@agent86 I've been struggling with what to do about my headset situation for a while. I have a 5.1 sound system on my PC, but I voicechat a lot with friends for social gaming. In order not to lose audio, I have to switch it back to stereo for my headphones. Seems like a waste, you know? :(
@AnnaLear if you end up in the market for a cross-platform headset system, take a good look at the Astro Mixamp (I linked my review just now) - paired with some Sennheiser headphones, it is very good.
@FallenAngelEyes yeah, my setup isn't 5.1 at the headphones themselves, the mixamp is doing the decode from 5.1 -> stereo, but it does an excellent job.
sometimes I have to take my headset off just to verify that the speakers aren't turned on :)
I think the headset they're giving as a prize actually has multiple drivers per ear
@TimStone the astro mixamp is so very good, I can't say enough good things about it. One year I convinced my mother in law to just let me pick my present, and I bought that to be my gift "from them" and omg, so worth it...
I didn't think it was gonna be a problem, but it turned out I use both the right shift and slashes enough that every time I have to use that corner of the keyboard, I have to stop and look. (Or type, backspace, look, type again. :))
@AnnaLear Ew. I have the UK layout for the G15 unfortunately, and I hate how it's set up. It has a second backslash key next to the left shift and therefore has made left shift smaller.
@FallenAngelEyes A lot of Canadian keyboards now (especially on laptops) are cutting the left shift to make room for something used in the French layout. It's crazy. Makes buying laptops a PITA.
@AnnaLear I was about to say, I feel like I ran into similar issues when I had to go to Europe on business - they gave me a European layout keyboard and I was always mistyping
Longer you resist, higher is your endurance multiplier. What else ?
If you summon more than 900 monsters in resistance mode, will you increase your endurance multiplier ?
I'm having a hard time finding a list containing followers who are high skilled in archery. I need a bunch of them to experiment a team of archers following me. In case anyone's wondering I'm using a mod to get up to 10 followers.
Looks like the counters for the ME3 missions got bugged. I used to have 11 5+ scoring posts in the mission, now it shows me with 8. You can see the bugged numbers in my profile. As you can see from this search, I actually have 11.
From what I heard in chat, this happened to everyone. Probably a ...
I just finished Mass Effect 3, though I didn't play the multiplayer and my war readiness was therefore at only 50%. So I didn't have enough war assets to get to the best ending.
I now want to play some multiplayer and get that war readiness to a good value, so that I can get the best ending with...
I had a butler in my mansion who randomly disappeared one day. I tried calling services to cancel the butler, but it said I have to speak with them in person. I found her in my friends list and called her to invite her over, but when she comes over there's no options to interact with her as if sh...
The official Prima guide notes that if Shepard purchased a Prejek Paddle Fish in ME2, and kept it alive all the way through to the end of ME3, that when starting a New Game+, there would be a special additional Intel bonus available at the terminal in Liara's cabin aboard the Normandy.
I don't h...
How does the custom house work in Freecol? I built custom house but nothing happens. Previously I played Colonization a lot where custom houses worked automatically, they sold available goods.
As the title states, I'm utterly confused about these two ratings. The former is at 6712, while the latter is as 3356.
Which of these numbers determines my ending?
Note: I've seen the answers giving the varying numbers, as well as the IGN link that states them, but I don't know what number they...
@RavenDreamer Better spoilers than engaging in annoying gymnastics with your question title. SEO is king. However, if you can do it without a spoiler without jumping through hoops, be polite, sure.
I seem to remember an edit war over a really terrible skyrim question where the guy was so terrified of posting spoilers that it became incoherently vague. "WHAT HAPPENS IF I KILL THAT DRAGON?" "THE ONE ON THE MOUNTAIN THAT THE PEOPLE TOLD ME TO KILL"
