Does anyone wanna speculate at who/what Clem saw at the end? Personally i think its Christa and Omid but zombified.

The shadows seemed to see Clem and point her out, the person in front seemed to jester to the one in back in Clem's direction. I highly doubt they are zombies, whoever they are. Zombies wouldn't have picked up on Clem like that.

I was thinking it was going to be a Night of the Living Dead situation where you saw them hold up a gun and shoot. All the bullets and casings seemed to suggest that. Clem was all zombied up and stumbling. I was sure they would shoot, of course they wouldn't show it, end it on the bang.

That said, the baby food that Daryl and Maggie find will only last a few days (week) so I think that is pointing to the fact that Lori is still alive.

Since all you people are complaining about spoilers from a book that is years old at this point:

The baby dies

Well this is quickly shaping up to be the worst zombie movie ever. Shit looks worst then Survival of the Dead. Shame to because the book is really good.

Having a satellite in a country will stop alien abductions there, so basically panic won't go up there unless you ignore an abduction in the same continent. Basically if you get full coverage then panic just stops raising, make sure to get the stealth upgrade from the foundry as well.

@Baal_Sagoth That is only true if you don't shoot it down. You can safely shoot the UFO down and leave it without deductions to xcom. I shot down around 10 overseers before I actually assaulted one. Shoot them down and wait till you have your team ready. You can even grind on the other missions that come up.

Normal, but it's way to easy personally. My team are super soldiers that just roll through everything and there is no panic at all anywhere. I probably spent a little to much time grinding them up and getting full satellite coverage and the best gear before moving the story to far.

The ramp was a little difficult and I lost Brazil early on but since then it's all been super easy. Going to either star over on Classic or just bump the difficulty up.

If the PC version wasn't complete shit I might recommend it, but it's not worth that price.

This thread; holy fuck.

Forget about it. You do not want to go down the path of TF2 economy. It is actually insane.

Can someone give me a non-spoilery list of each sides' ideals, goals, reasons for fighting, and rights to the land they are fighting over? To me it seems so far that the Stormcloak dudes were in Skyrim first, and got shat all over by the Imperials and now just want it back, whether they are racists or not, that seems like a fair thing.

30 or so years ago the Thalmor(Altmer/High Elves) went to war with the Empire. The Thalmor basically kicked their ass and the Empire surrendered under the condition that worship of Talos be banned. Before this war there where 9 gods(you may have heard the phrase "by the nine"), Talos was one of them, the Elves hate Talos as he is the only human god, some people in this game say "by the eight".

Talos was a Nord when he lived so so Nords love the shit out of him and that's the guise that the stomcloaks are fighting over. The Empire are there because they are still officially the rulers of the lands and they need to enforce the pact in fear that the Thalmor will attack again.

The Empire does not want Skyrim, they just want the Nords to stop worshiping Talos. The Nords basically want everyone that is not Nord out of Skyrim. Which is funny since Skyrim use to belong to the Snow Elves before the Nords drove them underground where they become the Falmer.

That's a quick overview of what is going on at the surface, you can dig deeper and get a better sense of what is really going on by reading some of the books in the game, especially the dossiers in the Thalmor Embassy.
