    I joined MySpace before it hit 1 million users. I spent an alarming amount of time socializing on that platform, which was also the reason why I decided never to create a Facebook account. I'm kind of glad it went that way!

    "Südbayern hat viele Berge, nicht wahr? (While "nee" is slang for "no", you would ask "nicht wahr?" or "oder?" if you wanted a statement to be confirmed.)
    "(...) kann ich das ohne Probleme verstehen!"
    "Das sieht wirklich fantastisch aus."
    "Aber unsere haben keinen Schnee..."

    Ja, Südbayern liegt an den Alpen. Bezüglich des Bildes, das du gepostet hast: In genau der Gegend (Garmisch-Partenkirchen) bin ich aufgewachsen! Der Berg links ist die "Alpspitze", ganz rechts ist die "Zugspitze", Deutschlands höchster Berg. Eine sehr schöne Landschaft!
    Dein Bild von Hawaii ist jedoch atemberaubend...

    "vor ein paar Wochen besucht" = "visited a few weeks ago"
    "für ein paar Wochen besucht" = "visited for a few weeks"
    Bayreuth liegt in Franken, ja - im Norden Bayerns. Wenn es dir in Norddeutschland besser gefällt, solltest du dir den Süden Bayerns bei Gelegenheit auch mal ansehen, sogar die Norddeutschen machen dort Urlaub, ;)

    People. I just try to help out the next person whenever a chance presents itself. It can be simple things, like holding open a door for someone, giving a beggar a sandwich, or listening to a monologue that will help a person get whatever is depressing them off their chest. I realized quickly that I couldn't change the world (as much as I would like to be able to), but as it turns out, that's not necessary; I just need to be there for the people around me. There's this hope that I have - that if more people help their immediate surroundings, it will gradually turn the world into a better place. To some that may sound naive, but that won't stop me from sticking to my principles.

    Ah, I remember when I played it with a friend, we would always save the game before we opened a chest, just so we could reload in case we weren't happy with its contents. At some point we stopped caring about that though, as we made lots of money by selling the (useless) items that we found, along with just about anything that we found that didn't belong to anyone else.
    We always had enough cash to buy the best items from NPCs, so even if the loot wasn't good, we traded it in for the better equipment.

    You mean that the type of loot you'll find is randomized instead of fixed?

    Please consider "Divinity: Original Sin 2". It has a rich, engaging story, turn-based combat, and the freedom to do whatever you like in the game in a very rewarding way.
    It's going to be the benchmark for RPGs for quite a while, it's that good.

    I agree that this sets a great standard for the community, I just hope that this standard can be upheld with the influx of new members. It's going to be a lot of work!
