I wanna see goddamned Akavir, Tamriel can eat a dick.  Unless I get to go to Summerset Isle and kill every single filthy, gold-skinned Altmer man, woman, and child I can lay my hands on.  Otherwise, it just ain't worth it.

Echoing the Black Marsh want, because I play Argonian exclusively.  I want my swamplands, dammit.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

I got the witcher 2

Oh my godnthe protagonist is such a little bitch in combat. Constant rolling and you have to keep buffing yourself.

I feel like the cocks in dark souls that always attack you from afar and dont give a fair fight

Isn't being a cheating bastard perfectly in-character for Geralt?

Combat does get way easier a little later in the game, I assume you are at Flotsam?

I'm pretty far into Bioshock Infinate and I must say that Elizabeth is the first (and so far only) "partner" ncp that hasn't screwed me over or made me want to rage quit. I don't really feel protective of her, but I like having her around.

...Really? I find that getting screwed over to the point of ragequitting is kind of a running theme with any and all NPC companions.

She's the exception, but her AI is pretty well done. She's helpful but not annoying in combat, doesn't interrupt you too often (and the interruptions are "hey, catch this useful thing I found"), can't die, and doesn't get stuck behind things.

There are exceptions, like Pandora from God of War III.

Oh, you meant hasn't screwed you over. Well that makes a hell of a lot more sense.

Also, since when did it become uncouth to fucking dodge in a fight?  I'm sure even knights during the fucking Dark Ages believed in the fine art of getting the fuck out of the way of the human-skewering spear being thrust at you with murderous intent.

Honour is a concept created by losers to explain their failures.

Yeah, when I first realized you had her with you, I thought, 'great, another stupid escort mission.'  Then the game right out mentioned that you didn't need to protect her.  Most of her, 'here, catch,' moments helped me so no complaints there.  My only complaint about her was in the ending, but I won't spoil it for those who haven't gotten that far.
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"
