Drudge (above the mast, no story link) says Trent Lott will hold a press conference today at 5:30 Eastern. Since that's too late to be on anything but the weekend news cycle, I expect him to announce he's stepping down from his leadership role.
UPDATE: I'm told Lott won't be annoucing his resignation. Who was it that picked next Wednesday in the betting pool?
FURTHER UPDATE: Looks like my first call might be correct, after all. A reader writes to tell me Josh Chafetz's sources tell him this will be a resignation announcement. Shoulda gone with my gut.

Fire up your VCRs and get ready to play Count The Minotirites!
Let's see how many Lott trots out at his press conference to stand behind him, figuratively and literally. Maybe even a few hugs, a few kisses…

Jonathan Karl said on CNN that he had emphatically been told by Lott staffers that a resignation was not on the table; it's strictly a show of contriteness, fuller explanation, blah blah.

I think he's going to appoint Amiri Baraka as his Chief of Staff.

I think he floats not stepping down to see how bad the reaction will be.
There is plenty of time yet for him to see the error of his ways.

More contriteness eh?
They do understand that if Lott doesn't step down, Bush's whole agenda is dead in the water, right? Anytime the Senate Republicans want to anything even mildly controversial the dems will bring this up and Lott will fold, while sliding some more pork their way.
December 13, 2002 - 10:35 am Link to this Comment -
some guy: one would hope so. Frankly, about 5 GOPers need to get together and tell Lott that either he goes or they go. Before he makes a complete ass of himself at this press conference saying stuff that NOBODY believes any more.

I would think everyone learned this week (if they didn't already learn years ago), NEVER underestimate Lott's capacity to make a total fool of himself. I fear this is going to drag on far longer than it ever needed to because he wants to save his own political ass. He's no Bill Clinton in that way, but he's pretty damn bad.

What we can be sure of is that whatever he's saying, he doesn't want anyone to hear it.
My guess, Lott is being tossed out with the friday garbage.

"Lott sleeps with the Fishes" Bush will not let this go on, after he specifically named Lott in a speech yesterday, Bush and Rove will not cannot let Lott remain. All theoutreach done to the minority community …gone. "See I told you they were racist all along…"

Remember the Torch!! Didn't Toricelli make noises about his final press conference being a mere clarification of earlier apologies? Daschle was smart enough to give him the shove. Your reputation is on the line, Boy Genius.

It's pretty simple: This news conference is Trent Lott's last opportunity to bow out in a graceful and face-saving manner. He can position himself as the victim and say that the attacks on him were unfair, but he's stepping aside for the good of the country.
If he doesn't resign as Minority Leader today, that opportunity is out the window. Then when he finally is forced out (and he will be), there will be no way to spin it as anything other than a humiliating personal repudiation.
It his choice: He can go out easy or he can go out hard. The smart choice is obvious. Then again, he wouldn't be in this mess to start with if he was adept at making smart choices.
December 13, 2002 - 2:38 pm Link to this Comment -
I agree with Wiener, but the performance of the Senate Republicans suggests that it will fall to the President to provide the humiliation. And Bush might be hesitant to big-foot another branch of government.

Hey Steven, have you noticed the weird thing going on with your time-stamps? Just sayin. Oh yeah, to hell with Lott.

Thank goodness Lott clarified that he and Strom had a "platonic relationship". This guy should not ad lib — but I think that's already clear enough.
His main point. I know what it was like for a poor *black* boy in Mississippi to make it good, because I was a poor *white* boy who made it good. It's as if he doesn't even get that racism had an impact on blacks growing up in the deep South of the 50s. What a schmuck.

Someone should remind Lott that the whole repentance & apology thing didn't work for Falwell after getting busted with an Airline Highway hooker in the Texas Motel, and it won't work for him now… (Or am I the only one who finds the apologies to be similar in intent?)

Now that the Friday apology went over like a uranium blimp, I think that this will be his next astute political move.

A strong, flex-resistant material, acrylic has a smooth finish that resists chipping and cracking, and is easy to clean.
ADA-compliant products will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 2004 when installed per the requirements of the accessibility guidelines of Section 607 (Bathtubs).
These complete solutions include coordinating vanity, sink, counter and backsplash.
Some bathtubs fit into a three-wall recess, which is ideal for a bath/shower installation. Many alcove baths include an integral apron that helps make installation hassle-free.
An alcove is a recessed nook or area within a room. Fixtures designed for corner or three-wall alcove installations feature unfinished exteriors and tile flanges on two to four sides. Many of these fixtures include an integral apron to complete the design.
The Bodyssage backjet system features ten KOHLER backjets that loosen tension throughout the back and shoulders and encourage deep breathing. These backjets fire two by two, targeting the lower back first and moving up to the shoulders and neck in sequence.
A feature that provides better accessibility in the bathroom; barrier-free sinks craft an indentation on the front, allowing closer, easy access.
KOHLER baths are ergonomically crafted to gently support the natural curves and angles of your body. Just calm, quiet water and you.
Included with some models and optional on others, adjustable KOHLER bath pillows are offered in various styles to provide added comfort where needed.
A personal hygiene fixture with hot and cold water supply for genital and perineal cleanliness.
A soothing, fresh alternative to toilet tissue, bidet seats and toilets feature a user sensor that triggers an in-tank water heater, while dual wands give a soft, aerated wash in posterior and anterior positions. A touch of the keypad controls rate and temperature of water flow.
A water-containing receptacle that receives liquid and solid body waste; two general bowl classifications are round-front and elongated.
BubbleMassage technology pushes air through airjets positioned along the perimeter of the bath, creating thousands of bubbles for a range of tactile and visual sensations.
An extraordinarily powerful flushing technology for single-flush gravity-fed 1.28 and 1.6 gpf toilets. Water enters the valve from 360 degrees, creating a smooth, consistent water flow.
Compact and space efficient, centerset faucets fit three-hole sink drillings that measure 4" from one side to the other. They often have a connected spout and handles, although sometimes the spout and handles are placed close together instead.
Centerset drillings have three holes set 4 inches apart for centerset faucets, or can accommodate most single-control faucets with an escutcheon.
Chromatherapy uses lights placed around the bath to infuse the water with color, so you can relax and dream. Choose a repeating sequence of eight hues, or choose the color that suits your mood.
A flushing technology designed to create extraordinary flushing performance with an industry-leading 3¼" flush valve. KOHLER 1.28 and 1.6 gpf toilets with Class Five technology provide powerful water flow to maximize the gravity-fed flush and feature simplified installation.
CleanCoat glass treatment helps protect against unsightly residue and makes glass easier to clean.
A term for a toilet with a separate tank and bowl, secured to each other, and with a separate tank cover. Also referred to as a two-piece toilet.
The height of a toilet bowl (with seat) that stands at the same height as a standard chair measuring between 17" and 19" for maximum comfort and ease when sitting down or standing up.
This feature provides a clean transition at the back of the toilet base, hiding the trapway for aesthetic and cleanability purposes.
A beautiful accompaniment to KOHLER vanity-top sinks, console tables work well in bathrooms where extra storage isn't essential. Designs range from clean and crisp to intricate and ornate.
The time it takes from the instant a toilet flush lever is actuated until the instant the water supply shuts off, completing the flush cycle.
Our digital showering system features intuitive electronic controls that allow you to operate and customize your shower experience at the touch of a button.
A diverter valve directs water to multiple outlets, such as to the bath faucet or the showerhead, allowing you to control separate components with just one valve. Unlike a transfer valve, diverter valves do not allow you to run two water components at once. This valve can be used with a Rite-Temp® pressure-balancing valve or thermostatic and volume control valves.
A semi-frameless door has a metal frame mounted to the edges of the glass, adding structure. On a frameless door, heavier, thicker glass eliminates the need for structural framing and creates a sleek, contemporary look.
Designed for busy bathrooms, double-basin sinks provide plenty of room for simultaneous use by two people.
This exclusive system saves installation time and helps prevent water leakage. A metal bracket, placed at the bottom of the tank, means that no bolt holes are drilled into the tank, virtually eliminating water leaks. Additionally, the installer can secure the tank to the bowl with only one tool, a socket wrench, without having to reach inside the tank.
Drop-in sinks have a rim or lip that rests on the counter while the basin rests below. Ideal for remodeling, drop-in sinks can be easily retrofitted to an existing counter.
Dual-flush gravity-fed toilets rely on the force of gravity to achieve a powerful flush, much like single-flush, gravity-fed toilets.
Our precision-engineered digital thermostatic valve (DTV) can run up to eight different showering components with six ports, and it delivers up to 21 gallons of water per minute.
Effervescence technology is designed to move water and air gently through unique ports to create champagne-like bubbles that cling to your skin and pamper your body.
A toilet bowl having dimensions of about 14" wide by 18 ½ " long (from the center of the seat hinge holes to the front edge of the outside rim.
A powder coating applied to an iron casting. When exposed to high temperatures, the coating melts and bonds to the casting, creating a glass-like surface. The thickness of KOHLER enamel provides outstanding protection against chipping and scratching while offering deep color integrity.
Installation that creates a vessel-like appearance for the bath, with the rim of the bath raised and the deck under the rim exposed.
The Express assembly system is featured on select vanities. Packed flat for easy transport, these vanities are affordable and quick to assemble and install.
The mechanism that controls the flow of water into a gravity-operated toilet tank. When the toilet is flushed, the float drops and opens the fill valve, allowing water to enter the tank and/or bowl. The float rises as the water level in the tank is restored, and shuts off the fill valve when the tank is completely filled.>
Fireclay sinks are made from a clay base fired at an intense heat to vitrify the clay and bond the glaze. The result is a durable sink with a nonporous, glossy finish.
KOHLER mirrors are available frameless or with a frame.
Many of our showerarms include a flange or ornamental plate to help conceal the area where the base of the showerarm meets the wall.
Also known as a flush ball, the flapper is the moving part of the flush valve that seals the water into the tank or allows water to exit the tank for the flush cycle. This is the predominant replacement part used on conventional toilets.
The floating remote control, included or optional on several models, offers added convenience and controls all the same features as the lighted keypad.
To be positioned at the base of the feet or under the thighs to ensure the bather's comfort in larger baths, the optional footstop coordinates with any KOHLER whirlpool or bath.
This installation option is ideal when the bath is the focal point of the room. Accessible from all sides, the freestanding bath highlights the beauty of the design.
All KOHLER toilets have glaze applied to the trapway – the passageway inside the bowl – for a smooth surface that ensures a strong, complete flush.
KOHLER shower doors are available in 1⁄4", 3⁄8" and 1⁄2" thicknesses. Both 3⁄8" and 1⁄2" glass provides a more substantial look and feel to the glass panels.
Translucent in appearance, glass sinks feature handcrafted quality.
A glossy, water-resistant colored finish surface, glaze protects all nonporous vitreous china sinks.
An abbreviation for "gallons per flush," a term used when discussing water consumption for toilets.
A toilet that relies on the natural downward pressure (or "head") of water in a toilet tank to flush the toilet effectively.
A great option for the family shower, handshowers can function in place of or in combination with a wall-mounted showerhead. We offer both multi-and single-function handshowers.
Single- or dual-flush water-saving toilets that use 1.28 gallons of water or less. Installing a high-efficiency toilet can save an average family of four up to 16,500 gallons of water per fixture every year. High-effficiency toilets can carry the WaterSense® logo.
Our medicine cabinets provide ready accessibility with three hinge options: self-closing 107°, self-closing 170° or adjustable 110°.
Water is delivered from a faucet mounted directly on the bidet with horizontal spray bidets.
Insuliner is a registered Kohler trademark for factory-installed tank insulation that minimizes condensation on the outside of the tank (also known as tank sweating) when exposed to high humidity.
Designed to accommodate alcove installations, baths and whirlpools with integral aprons complete the bathroom and provide stylish detail.

Some Purist® medicine cabinets feature an integral laminar flow faucet, so water cascades directly from the cabinet to the sink.
A premium solid-surface material that allows for new geometries, textures and designs for the modern bath. Lithocast offers the beauty of real stone yet is warm and comfortable against the body.

Pressure Lite technology uses the supply line to pressurize a specialized vessel in the tank, providing a strong and reliable flush.
The Rite-Temp® pressure-balancing valve lets you precisely control your water temperature – 3 degrees of handle rotation changes the temperature by 1°F. If the cold water supply is interrupted, the valve will automatically reduce the water flow.

When you've too much homework,
And the cafeteria food sucks, remember that
You are going to die.
Go to IHOP, or any old place—your favorite.
Try to be seated in a booth,
Where the thicker cushioning breathes like a diaphragm.
When your order arrives,
Forget words like "delicious," "scrumptious," and "delectable."
Try listening with your tongue.
The white-streaking butter refusing to melt
Into already butter-soaked golden fluff
is not "too much." The same goes
for that runny syrup running amok,
and the disintegrating pillow itself.
It is just enough to be excessive.
You may bring your homework, but
Only to give your butter time to melt.
And never let both hands touch your books.

WINTER GARDENING TIPSContributed by Broadstone Horticultural Society The winter aconite (Eranthis) as most gardeners will know, is one of the earliest flowers ,along with snowdrops, to appear in the Spring. Ideal for planting under shrubs they are best planted 'in the green' so look for small pots in the nursery or garden centres and brighten up a corner of the garden near the house. Anemone Blanda and dwarf Daffodils are also available this way and it is not too late to plant up spring containers. A small evergreen, dwarf conifers or heathers plus one or two pots of bulbs or pansies will light up the patio and why not plant up a basket with more pansies or violas and trailing ivies to welcome visitors to your front door. It is time now to think about pruning bush roses. Prune them hard and they will reward you with a good show of flowers in the summer with the help of some rose fertiliser. Add a slow release fertiliser to the rest of your borders and if you have gaps look for some winter colour to fill them. Mahonia, Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle) or one of the Daphne varieties will add both colour and fragrance. If you have a greenhouse you have probably already thought about seed sowing but it is quite easy to grow a selection of annuals on a sunny windowsill especially with the help of a small propagator, or you can buy germinated seedlings ready to prick out. They need maximum light until they are put outside after the risk of frost is past, perhaps middle to end of May. If all the current gardening programmes on T.V. have awakened your interest why not come along to the Broadstone Horticultural Society meetings in the War Memorial Hall, 2nd Tuesday of each month September until April, or to the Spring Show on April 7th If you need advice someone will usually have an answer. Members receive a discount at local nurseries and on Summer outings and the subscription is only £3, a bargain. Details of meetings are displayed on Residents Association notice boards or in the library.

RosterOn is a labour management system designed to automate the labour intensive task of producing and validating rosters, and the coding timesheets for payroll. In addition to performing these tasks in a fraction of the time it takes to do them manually, RosterOn provides an enormous amount of additional data and reporting about individual employees, casuals, agencies etc., and their allocated rosters.
Although one integrated system, RosterOn functionality comprises 4 components:
- Smart dynamic Rostering
- Award interpretation
- Time and attendance
- HR/Payroll interfacing
The rostering component is a complex set of labour optimisation algorithms that are hidden behind a user friendly graphical user interface. Several configuration functions enable the end user to configure the system to the unique requirements of each department, area or region, and the number of configurable functions that require maintenance varies depending on the complexity of the rostering requirements for each department, area or region.
Award Interpretation is performed in real time to enable costs to be updated immediately as each change to the roster is made. This functionality also facilitates alerting. As each change to the roster is made the award interpreter is consulted to re-cost the changes to the roster and alert the operator to any award breaches that have occurred as a result of the change.
The Time in Attendance functionality within RosterOn allows each scheduled work allocation to be validated, this validation performed with the use of swipe technology (swipe cards, finger scanners, etc.) or via the RosterOn software.
Finally, the architecture of RosterOn is such that Interfacing to external systems can be facilitated at many levels. We can build you a 2-way interfacing module to your payroll software, so that data can be sent to external systems such as these in a format that both of the systems can understand. Costs involved with this interface can either be based on time and materials, or we can offer a fixed price, when the timing appropriate.
RosterOn provides a Graphical User Interface and will run in a Windows environment featuring point and click, and click and drag functionality. On-line context sensitive Help is provided, User Guides are provided for on-line access and the Help Text is provided so it can be customised for each clients specific use and identification.
Originally designed in 1994, RosterOn was carefully constructed and developed to its initial release in 1998 into public hospitals in Melbourne. Written specifically for Australian working conditions, it has the required functionality specified for smart dynamic rostering. Having been a successful tenderer in multiple Public Health tenders let over the past few years, RosterOn has shown its best-of-breed product more than competes with overseas and local offerings.
The benefits of using Roster-On are many and varied, and include:
- enables individuals the opportunity of highlighting Roster availability
- tracks licensing, award and legal requirements, to ensure employees are not rostered
- dramatically reduces labour to process rosters
- providing many areas of potential cost savings
- lifting morale amongst staff by fair and equitable rostering
- readily finding replacement staff for staff unavailable to meet their shift requirement, keeping key criteria like skill sets, in place
- offering integration with payroll, producing an electronic timesheet to eliminate double entry of data
- reducing necessity to use Agency staff by keeping track of all available permanent and casual staff
- including a comprehensive reporting and trend analysis
RosterOn will do a written review of your business practices and rostering needs.
Health, retail, emergency services, hospitality, transport, manufacturing, Government .. all of these business sectors are able to receive common reporting and analyses across their individual operations, rather than having to sort through varied and inconsistent reporting formats from each sites, offering consolidation and other efficiencies.
Companies are buying RosterOn for a variety of reasons including:
- Helps them attract and keep quality staff
- Offers full labour optimisation
- Enables better budgeting by projected rostering
- Offers Best Practice tools to dramatically improve daily efficiencies
- Brings reporting on costs, staff, forecasts, practices etc
- Allows staff to have input into their final roster if agreed by employer
And throughout the functionality of the software there are 26 identified areas in which the Company can save money, everyday real ways to reduce costs. This cost savings process goes hand-in-hand with staff morale boosts through fairer and more equitable rostering, efficient methods of finding replacement staff, accurate calculations of overtime, TIL, Award requirements etc., online real time costing and 'What If?' analyses during roster preparation and adjustment.
If you need Rostering, or want to review your rostering needs …….. RosterOn!

Several years ago in front of the world a man shared, "The problem basically is theological and involves…an improvement of human character that will synchronize with our almost matchless advances in science, art, literature…It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh." The author and orator was General Douglas MacArthur while aboard the Missouri, receiving the formal surrender of the Axis powers, ending World War II. MacArthur understood that man's problem was above all spiritual, and ignoring this fact would be to the detriment of all people. "Exhibit A" for him was two world wars that together cost 120 million lives.
As prophetic as his words were, his warning has been to a large extent ignored, with the decades following his pronouncement giving birth to more wars, a questionable deterioration of cultural values in America, the "God is dead" movement of the '60s, the cynicism of the 70s, and the materialism of the 80s and 90s. Now well into the 21st Century skepticism about the future abounds.
Two thousand years ago Jesus asked, "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8). It is a question that each person must answer in the light of Jesus' call to become salt and light in the world.
When William Wilberforce led the abolitionist movement in the nineteenth century, his opposition was fierce. For some twenty years his bill to outlaw slavery in Britain was voted down in Parliament. Growing weary of the fight, he often turned to a letter he received from his spiritual father, John Wesley. Wesley had told Wilberforce that his call was to be athanasius contra mundum, Latin for "against the world." Though exhausted, Wilberforce knew his calling in life was to make a difference in the world. In all he gave almost fifty years to seeing slavery eradicated, dying just three days after it was abolished in Britain due in great part to his own efforts. Wilberforce was truly salt and light in his day.
As we see challenges in our own lives and around us in culture, be they economic or political or personal, may we understand that they are first of all spiritual problems. May we understand that the answer is to be faithful to our calling as salt and light. And may we answer Jesus' question about finding faith with a resounding "Yes!" demonstrating our convictions by our words and actions, and when necessary standing athanasius contra mundum.

My oncologist had me tested for this, among other things, and what's sad about this is the fact he never once has gone over anything with me. I had to find out on my own a year later, after I went to a different oncologist.
The first one was so bad that, even after my complaining for a year about all the knots I had on the side of my breast, he still never took the time to even look at them, not even once. He just walked out of the room.
The doctor I have now got things rolling right away just as soon as he first saw how bad they were. It turned out I had breast cancer. I ended up having surgery and part of my breast removed and I then had to take 37 weeks of radiation, so I say the first thing is make sure you have a doctor who takes an interest in you and wants to help you before it's too late.

We need to speak out to make sure AARP, the powerful lobbying group that claims to represent 40 million older Americans, doesn't sell us out by supporting cuts to Social Security.
According to a recent story in The Huffington Post, AARP's CEO is convening a small group of Washington insiders to discuss the future of Social Security. This closed meeting will be heavily stacked with "powerful Washington establishment figures who are on record favoring cuts to Social Security and Medicare."
Tell AARP: Listen to your members, not to the lobbyists and other special interests representing the 1 percent.

While I've enjoyed my time with Reckoning, the game is one of the strangest that I've played in a long time. While it does a lot of things right - fast and fluid combat, a deep and engaging progression system (at least next to most other contemporary RPGs), and a massive world to explore, there's also something decidedly vacant about the Faelands. As a game that draws much of its inspiration from MMORPGs, Reckoning serves as a case in point that bigger is not always better when it comes even to open-world games.
All World, No Content
The world of Reckoning is massive, even by modern open world standards. Though perhaps some players roll their eyes at the prospect of yet another sandbox experience, it's hard not to be impressed by just how much terrain is featured in Reckoning. That large game world is divided up into approximately 30 discrete zones; save for a few city areas and the interior levels (dungeons and buildings), all of them are sprawling, lush and gorgeous plains, forests and deserts that capture a certain limitlessness that few games do. Opening the world map and pulling back the camera can be an equally impressive experience, as well.
This illusion of size is slowly diminished the longer the game goes on - not due to growing familiarity with the world or a recognition that it just isn't quite as big as it looks, but instead, due to the general lack of actual content populating it. The towns and cities that players visit are soon revealed to only have two or three quests to complete, each of them providing about 5-30 minutes of gameplay (which is often just running from points A to B); moreover, once you've completed a task in a given location, it's time to move on to the next, never to return - in most cases, literally.
As imposing as the world of Amalur is, it's striking just how little of consequence actually exists within it. |
While I don't like to draw comparisons that are too direct, there are many other RPGs on the market that make far better use of their game worlds. Fallout 2, despite having about 20 major locations (each of them quite small to traverse), can potentially squeeze eighty hours out of a play-through based on sheer gameplay content alone - sure, you're not seeing a new area every few minutes, but that's not a big fault when there's always a new quest to embark on or character to talk to. After the fan backlash against Dragon Age II's content reuse last year, it's fair that developers should be afraid of offering "too little" to players, but the flip-side of that is a huge game world that just doesn't have enough to sustain itself. The fact is that Amalur's world could have easily been half its size, the filler trimmed away and the quests given greater focus, and it would have gained from it.
The Single-Player MMORPG
Aside from the sheer size of the world, Reckoning also does some curious things regarding the structure of that world - namely, it draws very heavy inspiration from MMORPGs. As mentioned above, the world is broke up into distinct zones, connected by convenient canyons and passes that are probably serve both technical and gameplay functions. The player's progress across the map is more or less west-to-east, with things opening up a little bit more at the midgame point as the player's objectives expand.
For gameplay purposes, MMOs typically split their worlds up into discrete zones. Not only does this make things easier for the developers to handle, but it also provides a level of certainty and structure for players that helps both understanding of the game world and the game balance. Zones can usually be classified as belonging to a particular level range, defined by the monsters and quests that exist in it - 1-5 is a starter zone, for instance, while a level 80 zone is for the players who have more or less reached the top of the food chain. Within each zone, there's usually a quest hub, such as a town or camp, which provides the player's tasks as long as he/she stays in that location, and provides essential services (healing, repairs, etc.).
Due to the sprawling nature of MMOs, and the fact that they offer more content than just about any player could ever hope to see without repeat play-throughs, there's almost never a reason to stay in a zone once it's been out-leveled, as the rewards for completing those old quests are likely to be outstripped by the ones in the new areas - and let's face it, chances are nobody's hunting down Smoked Rat Tails for the sake of the engaging narrative. It's a simple but effective method of compartmentalizing gameplay that works within a multiplayer setting, where the sheer amount of space is needed to house so many players.
The player spends almost all the game in Planescape: Torment's Sigil, which serves to deepen the player's understanding of and emotional bond to the location and its characters. |
- Reuses existing game locations for more efficiency in content creation. Why make a new location when you can use the same one multiple times?
- Helps build an emotional bond to the setting and characters, as the player will spend more time in the same places over the course of the game.
- Gives a sense of consequence, as the world can be depicted to change based on the player's actions.
- Objectives can span the world rather than just individual locations, and tasks as a result can often cover the length and breadth of a game - most RPGs have at least a few long-term quests.
I think it's very strange that Reckoning subscribes to this MMO-style world design. As a single-player game driven largely by its quests, story and exploration factor, there's very little reason for players not to want to complete every bit of content (at least in theory). Even if a zone's enemies are cannon fodder, or the loot is no good, players want to be able to tick those quests off one by one. By segregating the game world in this manner, there's a fundamental conflict of interest between the world design and the motivations of players in navigating it.
Too... Much... Loot!
I'll be the first to admit that I love loot in RPGs. Whether it's got random modifiers or you've just got a ton of unique items to experiment with, chances are loot drops are going to keep me occupied - and I'm not nearly as dedicated as some players out there. In giving players a large number of inviting zones to explore as one of their selling points, however, Big Huge Games put themselves into a bit of a bind - exactly how to justify all that space?
Much as I pointed out in my analysis of RAGE last week, the answer is loot. Lots of it. There are standard junk items, uncommon items, rare items, unique items and set items, items with sockets, crafting items... just about anything you can think of that's an RPG standard has found its way into Reckoning, albeit with a lot of the useless stuff stripped away (no more hoarding pots and pans, sadly). Chests, in their many whimsical permutations, dot the landscape as if they were plants, and masses of alchemical reagents fill the space in-between those chests. You can scarcely walk more than 30 or so paces without running into something to loot, whether that's a fungal pod or a Brownie's backside.
Unfortunately, this extreme emphasis on the loot factor also reveals a major issue: that aside from plundering chests, there really isn't all that much to do in Reckoning's huge world. There's plenty of stuff to find, yes, but 99% of it will be sold off as vendor trash. As if the developers already realized this problem, the ability to send items straight to the junk bag for immediate selling or destruction has been placed on just about every inventory-related UI element. If so much of this stuff is junk, even to crafters (who will likely only use a handful of pieces before finding gear they like), then it begs the question: why is there so much of it? The only answer, of course, is: to give players something to do.
The loot in Kingdoms of Amalur is so prevalent that the mechanism it follows is not unlike that of a quick-time event - cheap and easy, but empty and meaningless at once. |
When provided as a reward for players after a tough battle, for completing a quest, or for exploring a far-off corner of the world, loot can be a fantastic way of motivating players and cultivating a feeling of accomplishment. To be frank, however, press button -> get reward is not a particularly engaging game mechanic, and placing a treasure chest around every corner, paradoxically, only cheapens the value of what should be one of the game's major selling points. Despite there being kilometers of game to explore, the loot system only emphasizes just how empty that space really is.
Closing Thoughts
For what it's worth, I do want to stress - Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a very fun game, beautiful, and has some excellent game mechanics. However, as much as I want to like it, the sheer size of the game has a number of pitfalls to it. The world, being as massive as it is, is necessarily empty and devoid of unique, interesting content, and the movement through the game from one zone to the next only serves to reinforce just how fleeting and inconsequential that unique content actually is.
Reckoning is more or less the prototype for an upcoming MMORPG, so it does make sense that the game follows at least some MMORPG-style design tenets. At the same time, it's also very clear that what works for an MMO simply does not work well for a single-player game. A story-driven experience demands that players are emotionally engaged with the game, and in focusing everything about the game world on the player, from movement through it to the transitory nature of the quests and objectives, it's harder to care about the larger picture.
Interestingly, I think one of the game's biggest failings isn't so much its size, but its portrayal of size. In trying to portray multiple nations and kingdoms, and even different continents, it inevitably falls victim to its own necessary abstraction. A game like Skyrim works because it is centered around a single province, and we are more ready to accept the compromises in scale needed to keep the game a reasonable size. Amalur tries to convince players that its cities of twenty are some of the most bustling, important places in the world, and under such strain, the illusion shatters.
In short: Kingdoms of Amalur would have been an excellent 40-hour game. Instead, it's merely a good 100+ hour one.
