It's like playing a piano or other keyboard instrument-- when it's going well it's going extremely well, but when it's not it's really not and you're wondering why the gently caress they couldn't have simplified poo poo.

Also includes cool stuff like content written by people who backed the game that is exactly as asstardedly bad as you'd expect.

I noticed you included rear end in the insult which is good its okay to insult. (unless the person is differently sized which could be problematic:)

But you used tard which is short for TW: retard for which this is offensive and bigoted to differently abled people. Its problematic in a highly insitutional way.

Don't worry, the letters t, a, r and d are being painstakingly removed from all 30,000 pages of in-game dialogue because forums goon psyopmonkey just won't stop calling and e-mailing Obsidian.

Pshfft. I was a planned birth, so there goes that theory.

Really tho, I haven't played this game at all. I've just been watching my fella play. Every five minutes he's all, "honey! Look! It's so beautiful!" And I'm all, "That's a really nice giant block of text." And it's the most insanely boring way to spend time with someone you could be loving.

Anyway, I'm going to play dragonage some more. A real rpg with kissing.

concerns me too that with that kind of endgame, the "harder content" in any future games will just be lame poo poo like each enemy encounter Charming/mind-controlling 4 of your 6 guys at the start of every fight etc. Thats what I remember most about BG2, poo poo just got annoying.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Agreed. The "game" is just a fantasy novel. Why not just read some good actual literature instead?

It's not that they couldn't, it's that the backers basically wanted a baldurs gate d&d sequel. So obsidian made one with the minimal amount of changes necessary to not get sued for ripping off any d & d IP. Orlans instead of halflings etc.

You can murder every single backer character in the game, take their stuff, and suffer no ill effects. You can also sing so hard that skeletons get up to sing along and dance with you.

lol they didn't even ask them to remove it, they just pointed out it was there, after which Obsidian got in touch with the backer and had them submit a new blurb

There's a way more bitching about "caving to sjw pressure" than there ever was about the original dumb joke. :thumbsup:

At least in BG2 you can cast your buffs before a fight starts and be immune to all those effects. Here you just eat them or waste actions casting spells that make it slightly less likely you'll get charmed/effect'd.

keep in mind i literally do not care about the joke and treat all the backer self-inserts as loving poison, but the kind of person who aggressively picks that fight over that dumb rear end joke, should not be empowered, or respected, or listened to, and he was, and that's something to be annoyed about.
