@ThricebornPhoenix: I never played Shadow of the Colossus and I'm not saying that I want everything to be 100% realistic. If that were the case we'd all die immediately in shooters. I guess I'm saying that maybe RDR spoiled me in terms of how realistic the horses look.
I'm really looking forward to Brotherhood, but one of the main concerns I have is with the horses. We've been told that horses will play a larger role in the game, not only as a method of travel (because Rome is so large) but also in battle. You can assassinate from your horse and also assassinate soldiers who are already on horseback and then take their steed.
My concern is this: Red Dead Redemption set such a high water mark as far as horses (and perhaps animals in general) in video games. The horses in RDR looked like real horses, behaved like real horses, etc. The horses that we've seen thus far in trailers for AC: Brotherhood have looked rather clumsy and that worries me a bit.
Now the news you probably don't want to hear, but it's important you do. The recession has decimated the legal profession and there are way more lawyers than jobs right now. Globalisation has taken it's toll too and a lot of the basic entry-level stuff is being shipped out for interns in India. Have a read of this article before you get too excited. Hell, have a look at this one too. The fact is that unless you're going to top school right now, the investment really isn't worth it - and even if you are, the market is tough and jobs are scarce. Further, have a talk to your school's pre-law advisor - last time I checked the top schools look at a combination of your scores, and a few only accept the first one. I'm not trying to be a downer here, you did really well on the LSAT and should be proud of yourself. However Law School isn't what it once was, and there are other better options out there right now if you're looking for a decent income in the future. Don't forget that we're talking about an education thats likely to cost over 100k and may very well end up as nothing more than a diploma on the wall. "
Grads of the top 10 law schools find jobs quite well thanks, and giveny my GPA and scores I'm more than qualified for most of them. I appreciate the attempt to shit on my parade though. "
Read the articles, know what kind of an attorney you want to be. Don't just go into law school blind. I've been fortunate enough to have a job out of law school but plenty of my classmates do not still two years later. If you're not making an informed decision you're being foolish.
You've done a great job on the LSAT. CONGRATS! It's super important for getting into the top schools and it will serve you well. I think what harshtruther is trying to impress upon you is that starting on the first day of class your LSAT score no longer matters.
Take a hard look at the areas of law that are hot right now and look to continue to be hot in the near future. Ask yourself if you'd like to practice in those areas. I know it looks like harshtruther is shitting on your parade, but after you get over being pissed off, do some research.
" So im a little confused how did he become Dracula? "
So throughout the game there are references both in Zobek's introduction to each chapter and in the scrolls that Gabriel recovers from his fallen brethren that using Shadow Magic starts to change a man, that it starts to take over your mind and soul and that you start to become blood-thirsty and actually enjoy the killing rather than just doing God's will.
As others have eluded to, Gabriel was granted immortality; if you live forever and the Shadow Magic is taking over your body/mind/soul you're eventually going to become someone quite evil. How he becomes Dracula himself appears to have been answered by a previous user.
" Just seen the ending and was absolutely blown away. In Gabriel's bio, it says that he was an orphan dropped off at the Brotherhood gates most likely by the wealthy Cronqvist family. If you've played Lament of Innocence, you'll know that Mathias Cronqvist is actually Dracula. It's possible that Gabriel is the bastard son of Mathias Cronqvist and that his immortality and vampirism came to him genetically. "
Didn't know this as I didn't play Lament of Innocence, good stuff.
" Zobek being evil was mad predictable and Satan appearing was kind of nonsensical to me, so the post-credits scene was an excellent way to save the end. When Ga-uh, Dracula was thrown out the window and it was a modern day city, my mind exploded. Also, the Slogra (I think that's what they're called?) in the background in the cathedral that he was hiding in made me smile. "
This for sure. You could tell throughout the game that Zobek wasn't who he seemed. Also, in one of the chapter introductions he actually refers to Gabriel as the Prince of Darkness and he seemed to revel in the fact that the shadow magic was taking over Gabriel.
Keep going. I think Chapter 4 is where it really starts to pick up. The environments and enemies are all quite varied from chapter to chapter. There's some truly great puzzles and various things in the environment that you can use to your advantage later in the game.
This is becoming somewhat of an annoyance. As everyone probably know by now, you obtain certain abilities in the latter half of the game which allow you to reach areas in levels in the first half of the game that you otherwise could not reach. So when you want to go back to some of the earlier levels to explore you have to re-insert disc 1 and then go back to disc 2 when you decide to get back to the main quest.
Even with both discs installed on my hard drive it requires switching discs, kind of annoying.
