Wow, that takes a special kind of stupid.

I've received abuse and mockery when playing female characters online from players who thought I was female. Its...bizarre.

Eve-online is probably the only community I *can* tolerate, I've only ever met cool people playing that game, but it helps that I roll with some of the more powerful nullsec corps/alliances I suppose... we're just donkey caves to everyone else

I agree on Space Marines. The game being ruined by the community is not probably out of malice but when one team consists of an organised group of ''''''''''''''''''''pro'''''''''''''''''''' players and the other is just random people who wanted a nice match of Space Marine this evening the game quickly becomes unenjoyable to play.

I have noticed this primarily with 'Grey Knights' and some other group I can't remember the name of.


Yeah, being on the receiving end is never fun, it wasn't great for us either. A few randoms against an organised team just don't provide a challenge (not to be patronising, but that's the way the game went down. A coordinated team vs a disparate group... never ends well, doesn't give us a proper challenge either, not until the meltaguns came out. Those matches were never great either :/ )

Bad news is that most of these groups are aiming at going over to Eternal Crusade. So, that'll be.... interesting. If the EC team can keep it balanced it'll be ok. However, I don't see this happening.


Is there any way to play Space Marine's multiplayer with bots?


Yes! And no.

Space Marine has a 4 player vs waves of Orks mode called Exterminatus that I find fun to play. It doesn't really scale to the number of players though, so it tends to be easier with 4 people than with 2, for instance, despite the shared life pool.

I recently bought space marine and I'm having a good time with its multiplayer mode even though I die a lot. I don't use voice chat so that might be helping quite a bit. I've only tried Exterminatus solo, and that unsurprisingly didn't go very well.

Exterminatus is a lot of fun with a full team of 4 players using a variety of classes.

Devestators armed with Heavy Bolters mowing down hordes of Orks charging across a bridge, with Assault Marines wielding Thunder Hammers dropping from the skies to crush entire mobs...

The game definitely deserves a sequel.

Yeah, Exterminatus is pretty sweet. Just stay clear of the clans on there. Especially any Dark Angels. There's two groups of them going about, and they're both as bad as each other.

I glanced his way, and that was my first mistake. Everything about him, from his hair to his toes, sent my senses into overdrive. It wasn't his fault that he was sat so provocatively, but then it wasn't my fault that I just had to have him. A memory from earlier that night told me his name was Kain, and that his voice to my ears was akin to sipping the finest nectar of the Gods. It made my fur, amongst other things, stand on end every time he parted his supple lips to speak, and I could tell from the looks I was getting from the people around me that I was purring something fierce. It took all my strength to force myself to stand up, and a whole lot more would be needed before I could even think of approaching him. I subconsciously twirled my tail around a finger, and nibbled my lip as a thousand potential things to say rushed through my mind like the winds of Dun Morogh. I watched him put his tankard to his lips and empty the contents, and I knew I was running out of time. Sighing, I adjusted my top to better show off my assets, and made sure my downstairs area was arranged, before slipping over to the bar on silent, padded feet. With a firm paw, I grabbed his shoulder as he decided his last drink had called the night to an end, and gently pushed him back down into his seat. He tensed a little, but didn't complain as I brushed a lock of hair away from his ear and whispered through lips that ached to taste his skin, "Tell me, stranger, what's your poison?"

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

The best was Ultima Online, in its earlier days - remember someone giving a mod lip and taunting him (they were actually present in the game as characters) and the mod fired a spell that killed him instantly, and I heard of another case where someone got teleported onto the peak of a mountain that had no paths leading to it so no way of exiting.

A friend of mine was 'macroing' (which apparently was forbidden - you would get skill increments from repeating the same action, so you could leave a macro going moving you around and hiding for instance while you were at work) - when he came back he had been moved into a room with no doors and a message on the wall 'think of your mistakes' or something similar - the game was full of that kind of stuff

Personally, I think Elder Scrolls games are actually made worse by the community that seems intent on producing an ever increasing amount of misogynistic and hyper sexual mods. Admittedly, I'm a prude outside of the bedroom, but for Skyrim it seems like the only quality mods out there are basically pseudo pornographic with the exception of the Morrowind port. Morrowind had really great mods, especially some very impressive and well developed landmasses that rivaled the original game at least visually. Oblivion mods focused more on character beautification and Skyrim has just gone completely off the deep end.

I agree with you that there are a lot of...special...mods out there for Skyrim, but you can filter than on the NMM site. Once you've done that, there is a nearly endless goldmine of amazing mods, ranging from simple weapon additions, to entire overhauls or new realms (see Falskaar). Seriously, my Skyrim enjoyment improved by a degree of magnitude when I discovered modding.
