"So these girls most being under 30 and almost all using twitter, reddit, blogs, facebook etc. really should know better imo." "Not reading through the thread and jumping to conclusions - even better!" Why so ignorant? Don't ASSume. I read the entire thread. And, you and your buddy are blaming the victim. This is akin to blaming someone who walks down a dark street who gets mugged or worse for the crime perpetrated on them. The only person/people to blame is the perpetrator(s). PERIOD.

Blaming the victim. BRILLANT.

"I left that place ages ago. It's insane." A mirror beckons Obsidianites. Nah. Who am I kiddin'. Blind ones wouldn't be able to see the reflection anyways.

It seems dumb to kickstart PE2. It should either succeed or fail on its own now. KS should be used to kickstart NEW properties (or reboot ancient ones like WL2). If PE1 doesn't sell enough to cover a PE2 the product should be deemed a failure and they should move. I'm hoping it is a success (despite certain flaws) but a KS for a sequel to it? Nah. I hope Obsidian has more decency than that. Thier next KS, imo, should be used to use of their other new game ideas that publishers may be hisitant on but gamers might be interested in nontheless.

"I agree with Ray Muzyka: Baldur's Gate is the stupidest name ever." Stupidest EVER? Are you serious? How is it stupider than, say, Icewind Dale or any other game that is named after a town/setting/area? It's not the most 'exciting' name but it's certainly not the stupidest.

Risen 3 looks playable just for the pirate lady.

No Lebron = Boring.

Not desperate. But, his intention is to either complete annex Ukraine or otherwise make it even way tinier than he is. I just wish he was honest about it instead of constantly lying.

Why? Aren't you a 'feminist' who believes everyone is equal? Let's prove it. Take the BEST female athletes and the BEST male athletes and have them compete. BEST of the BEST win. May the BEST win no matter the gender. If you think otherwise it means you are sexist.

There should be no seperate woman and men sports leagues/competitions. They should face each other and let the absolute best athelte win no matter the genre..

BL is not 10/10. Neither is TOEE 'super bad'. So, your premise is wrong and so your question is illogical.

"I still remember when Bio forums was a quiet, friendly place, kind of like Obsidian forums." Is this a sublte jab at the Obsidian forums as it should be because I can't take the latter half of your sentence seriously. Obsidian forums are NOT 'friendly' or sane.

"I have always believed that white, heterosexual males are the least discriminated group throughout the world." L0L

"West just bomb quite prospered country into stone age." L0L Saddam's Iraq was not propsering sicne he did his foolhardy useless war with Iran. It was a ****stain that Hussein destroyed. Also, when are Putin fanboys gonna admit that he's a liar? The guy is running scared so horribly he had to use the last and onyl card he has: nukes. What a loser. The fact that Russia is about anex Ukraine is not impressive.

DA2 > U

"being widely recognized as (at the very least) one of the top contenders for #1 CRPG" Define 'widely recognized'. Considering its sales are rather lacking comapred to other CRPGs I'm not impressed that out of the 100 people who played 10 of them thinks it's 'the best ever'. LMAO

L0L Seriously. The people who do this sort of thing are emotionially disturbed. Seriously. the people who overreact to this sort of thing are emotionally disturbed. Comapring this to actual rape is DISGUSTING and does a disservice to true rape victims.

"They no longer have that flimsy "Two of us worked at Bioware at one point guise!" excuse for IWD." Well.. without Bioware there would be no IWD....

"PS:T was 200% of pure perfection as it was." L0LZ

That's easy. The top of the list would litter with Obsidian/BIS titles. Through in some BIO, Twitcher, ES, and any other RPG you can think about to tidy up the bottom half. It might be the only top 10 lthat includes IWD2. <>

"Gameplay degeneration occurs when a player engages in gameplay not because they enjoy that gameplay but because the game's mechanics put the player at a disadvantage for not taking advantage of it" Yet, quest XP does exactly that. Now, players are gonna feel the need to complete every single quest even if it doesn't fit their character since that's the only way to level up. Might as well go montey and if you say no to a quest you should geta 'quest complete' and get the xp anyways. But, THAT will also lead to 'degenerateion'. L0LZ

Yeah, he was. Sam will likely be picked up by someone. Does seem kind of harsh to cut a 7th round draft pick so quick though. Surely, they could have kept him for the practice squad at least. Dumb to cut Champ Baily. Who cares if he's a little older. I doubt all the guys who got kept over him were actually better.

Plus FF7 and no FF8? Again, not surprising, but plain wrong. Kind surprised no Gothic game made it either thoguh they aren't my absolute favorites I know they have their fanboys. Friggin' Twitcher... *twitches* L0L ES L0L

"True, though there's at least one up and coming cRPG: Pillars of Eternity." Actually, it does. They're called barbarian, and rogue/thief.

"6) the weapons, armor, and other basic equipment that are similar to those in the IE games" IE games had buckets passed off as items too? WOW "5) the class system thats very similar to the D&D classes of all the IE games" Similar to the vast majority of fantasy games. COME ON. "9) the leveling system which is similar to the IE games" See above. "11) Great music similar to that of the IE games" What's great about it? PE's music isn't bad. It's merely average. IE game music is stuff of legend. TOP 10 Game Music Of All Time Legend. "7) the quest and task system which is similar to the IE games" Like every RPG ever created. Oops, not quite. Most RPGs don't have quests that just don't work. (yeah I know beta just have fuin) "12) A forum where some people can't seem to do anything but complain - like the IE games..." True. but, that's internet in general not IE speciifc. As Helm stated, these are all superificial similarities. P.S. I believe, in the end, that PE will be a good fun game but people talking like it is BEST GAME EVER is hilarious. I also love this attitude that somehow on this forum dedicated to a 'spiritual successor' to the IE games honestly believe those IE games sucked and everything is an 'improvement' of them. DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.
