It\'s been too long without a poll.
I'm bored. I'm stuck at work on a Saturday afternoon, and my girlfriend is
nine hours ahead, so I can't even talk on the phone. So lets make a poll.
In case you have not guessed yet, I still do not know what the poll will
be about.

Re: It\'s been too long without a poll.
Heh. Perhaps if you like polls you could try to start a new poll about future Dom3 if you like.
Something along the lines of "What single feature would you like to see most in Dom'2 sequel?". Or several features, if you'll have a large enough list.
Just a thought.  |

And for those who play down the use of the pretender at all and prefer using their points in other things, "must be cheap"
In a few cases my initial requirement was "must fly"
And in most cases (because Im too much RPG and take the personalization personally) must be male.
But it is still an interesting poll which covers alot of good territory.

Re: It\'s been too long without a poll.
And the question about the recent balance mods doesn't consider the possibility that some of the mods are great, and some are ... vanity projects, to put it nicely.

Re: It\'s been too long without a poll.
Ouch. Bless effects and cheap ARE totally valid choices. I guess that
my personal bias cannot be avoided, even when I try. I never go for either
of these, and completely forgot them.
As for flight, if I restart the poll, I will include 'must be a flier or
able to easily* become one'.
* Equiping the gift of Kurgi will not count as 'easily' :-)

Yeah as I was reading thru the choices I began to wonder if any non-combat god options were going to show up at all. 
But at least site-finder and forger showed up.
