Get your sexual fantasies satisifed elsewhere and stop the sexual harassment asking what people wear as undergarments. Besides, I'm ugly, so you don't want those nightmares.

Yes, it does. It says so right in the word itself: FEMINISM. I believe in true equality. Feminists do not.

Plenty of successful women who have contributed to video games. Good on them. Good thing i don't give a crap what gender a de is. Why does Bruce? Sexism. That's why. I do wonder how someone like Bruce would have reaction if someone had made a thread entitled 'The contribution men make towards gaming development' No doubt he would be hating on it.

"Its your personal choice if you choose to play a certain game, there are many reasons that people don't play games. Lillyhime is not saying " no one should play this game because there isn't a female protagonist". She is simply saying she won't play the game. This does not make her a sexist in any way. In life if you are unhappy with the decisions a certain development makes around a game then vote with your wallet by not buying the game. Once again this is her personal view that she is entitled to it without being accused of being a sexist" I agree many reasons people have not to play games and one of those reasons can be sexism. If I say I won't play a game because it's made by a woman that would be sexist. Saying you won't play a game because it is a male (or female) protag is sexist. This is undisputable. Even sexists have personal views. if I were to say a woman should only be the kitchen (which i don't beleive) that would be sexist and even though it is a personal view I would be called out on it. Stop trying to pretend what she said isn't sexist 'cause it is. "Not hiring someone based on gender is sexist, not buying a game because it have male only main character to play is not sexism" They're both sexist. Making a choice based on gender is sexist. Period. That's a definition of sexism - being biased in favor or against something/someone based on gender. How is this so complicated to figure out in 2014?

"If you don't want to buy and play Tomb Rider because the main character is a woman, then it is your choice." Sure. It is my choice. But, I'd be sexist if that was my reason for not wearing. Just like it's an employer's choice not to hire soemone ebcause they are female, right? Ofc oruse, in thatc ase,w e have laws to stop that choice. We all have choices to make. To be sexist or not to be sexist. "it's me in the game playing a role," You aren't a TRUE role-player then. Role-playing is about being someone who isn't you ala acting. I role-play female characters , I role-play orcs, I role-play tdwarves, I role-play magic users even though I'm none of those in real life. "You are really pushing it here." I'm pushing the truth. If you refuse soemthing because of a specific gender you are a sexist. Period. \Again, if I refuse to play TB because it has a female protag only it is my choice but it is a sexist choice to make. It's not complicated, people. Sexism is sexism.

"They need to 'incentivize' combat, an activity 80% of the game engine and character builds are about. It's like building a flight simulator where take off, landing and the bit inbetween is a bit of a drag." So, you don't believe xp should be rewarded for quests right? Since the gameplay is based on comepting quests there's no need incentivize it.

"We must assume that at some point" We must do no such thing.

Not best ever but it gets the job done.

"Volo to be honest you are generalizing now, remember we discussed this and there are different definitions of feminists. The more militant type of personality, like Anita, has perhaps hijacked the normal definition of a feminist which just wants gender equality in society and in the eyes of the law " By very definition, feminism is sexist. It is not generalizing to say it is sexist. It explicitly states that to believe in equality one must be female or feminim. That equality is a female trait. That is very much sexist. I have a **** between my legs and I believe in equality. Damnit.

"Temple of Elemental Evil - one of the best tactical RPG ports from a pen and paper game, ever. It was *never* repetitive." Kidding right. It was ALWAYS repetitive.

Cain is the guy who thought it was a good idea to reward the player with xp every time they DAMAGED an enemy; hes the last person who should be anti xp for combat. L0L Plus, BL also has a better xp system than PE. Embarassing that such a grognardi game defeats PE as well just like SRR.

Feminists are evil. This has been proven time and time again. Just as evil as masculinists are. Scumbags every single last one of them.

So, she is sexist. That has already been established.

Absolutely. Too short and too linear but the xp (no combat xp) system was virtually FLAWLESS.Why does PE xp system suck so much.

Sure, you can play what you want but if you refuse to play a game because of a certain gender it *is* sexist. If I say I don't want to play Tomb raider because the character is female that is the very definition of sexist. How is syaing the opposite of Witcher any less sexist? It isn't. It's sexist plain and simple and I loathe it but it's still sexist to say you won't play it because it is 'male only'. I'm not gonna watch the movie Lucy because it has a female protagonist. LMAO

"Anyhow, Vol, if you want to tell me what I can't post, I'll nominate you for moderator. :D" You cna post what you want, and I can disagree. I['m no Obsidian mod. I'm fortunate I'm allowed to post. L0L

A. Karma is xp. B. They are not similar in any meaningful way. SRR rewards the player properly. PE does not.

"some folks is trying to be funny. the point o' the quest/task based xp system used in PoE precludes giving specific awards for kills and lockpicks and other such activities. therefore, the comedians who says that they is not opposed to quest xp because they would gladly give kill and quest rewards is being jokers." You still haven't explained why it's acceptable that PE has a worse XP system than SRR.

"Hell, look at FPSes. They aren't RPGs," End. of. rine. Last i checked, PE is a RPG. bring in other genres just dumbs down the discussion. OMG! Super Mario has no xp yet is very fun and popular this must mean rpgs shouldn't have xp either. OMG! Does. not. compute. I play RPGs because they are RPGs. I want to play a FPS I'll play a FPS. Capiche?

Which is why it's rude. The spider queen (once bugs are dealt with) would/should be a worthy optional battle/confrontation worthy of being a challenge to overcome hence worthy of xp. Just because some needy villager doesn't beg you to be his whipping boy doesn't mean it's not worthy of xp.

Why is the ogre with xp but not the spider queen? That's rude.

Because they are Sawyer lackies and are anti role-playing.

"The Witcher is "male only" game, i won't buy" Why so sexist?

"but other things like dialogue and combat are more complicated comparing to Baldurs Gate and IWD." True, true.

This game is made for the masses not the hardcore rpger. But, it'll still be fun like other dumbed down games like the KOTOR series.
