I'm doing Good first. Then I'll do Good/Corrupt.
It's so weird - I couldn't do Renegade in Mass Effect. It was too mean-spirited. Dark-side Jedi or Sith - a snap! I can be EVIL, easily. Death, destruction, betrayal, sure.
Renegade just felt like kicking puppies. Not evil - just icky. I had to stop after about 15 minutes.
Fable 2 will feel the wrath of my thwarted wickedness.
I have a question that either of you might know the answer to: Do the experience orbs time out? And if so, how quickly? If I'm in a long fight, do I need to stop and collect in the middle?
I think they do eventually decay away, but it's like 30 or 45 seconds - quite a while, relatively speaking.
However, I also button-mash in intense combats, and that accidentally picks up orbs all the time anyway...

I've got some fluish thing. omnis, could you text me if I need to chime in? For the most part I'm staying horizontal and (sob!) I don't have a laptop.
Yikes Laga, get better soon. Ya, I'll text ya when things start rolling again.
I'm feeling much more vertical now.
Good to hear. What was it?
dunno. Pukey, achy.

COLONIAL ONE - BEGIN PRESS BRIEFING TRANSCRIPT
Press Secretary McClellathon: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here to read a brief statement, and then answer any questions you might have.
[There is an approximately 30 second pause in the transcript]
McClellathon: Any questions? Anyone? Yes, you there in the back.
MSFBC: Were you... going to read a statement?
McClellathon: Do you mean read it again? Yes, you there.
FNN: Mr. McClellathon, aren't you going to respond to the rumors that the President was reportedly standing in the doorway of the Admiral's Quarters screaming accusations that the entire command structure of Galactica has been replaced by cylons?
McC: What rumors? You over th...
FNN: Mr. McClellathon, the President was witnessed by several people, including fleet command officers. There are reports that she set fire to several papers and documents in the main corridor.
McC: I'm the press secretary, if there were any rumors or reports, I would have heard them. You over there.
IBS: Mr. McClellathon, what about these reports that she's off her kamala, or even having a psychotic reaction to the meds, or that she herself is a cylon?
McC: I can't comment on reports I haven't heard. You here in front.
GOAT: Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Isn't it true that Madame President has worked tirelessly and endlessly to keep the fleet alive and safe, and has in fact found us a new home?
McC: Yes.
GOAT: A follow up, if I may?
McC: Of course,
GOAT: Given that as true, doesn't that mean that these rumblings and whispers from a tiny few amount to treason and sedition, given our current circumstances?
McC: That's for the lawyers to decide, but yes.
EVERYONE: Mr. McClellathon!
McC: Thank you ladies and gentlemen, that will be all.
