"I think it is unfortunate people think it is some sort of Dungeon Crawler." It is a dungeon crawler. To say it isn't is lying and spitting in the face of BIS since that is what they were making. It's a good dungeonc rawler though. "I mean there is lots of Dungeon Crawling but it has an amazing plot and memorable characters and gorgeous environments and music." The plot is the same as always - go kill the Big bad demon/devil murdering people with a diabollical plan. Nothing wrong with it but nothing special. Characetrs were alright but I wouldn't rank them in my top 100 RPG characetrs of all time. " Its reputation as a dungeon crawler seriously hurt its release and reputation to people who never played it forever." Tough. " If you loved BG you will love IWD. Anybody who played both disagree? " I like both BG and IWD. I LOVE BG2.

"Obisdian is more similar to Troika" No, they aren't. They are actually successful.

Yes.

Nope. That wasn't BG3. that was NWN2. You can't even read game titles properly.

"Thanks, i know Obsidian is not like Bioware" They're exactly like Bioware. that's neither a good or a bad hing. But, it's true.

"In all fairness though, if you have a small nugget of feces in your food, you will probably throw out the whole plate, no matter how small and isolated that nugget might be." | \So, because of your stupid illogical post, Obsidian forums should now close down? K. "The game quality down to trash in Dragon Age 2" DA > KOTOR + BG + IWD + KOTOR2

"It is not really an idea, it's an ORDER." No. And, what are you gonna do about it? I'm, not your slave so bug off.

Yeah but that isn't forced though. That's negotiated between company/insurance/you or whatever.

"THIS GAME IS AMAZING A MUST HAVE FOR ALL RPG FANS IF YOU CALL YOURSELF A RPG FAN AND DON'T OWN THIS GAME I WILL PERSONALLY HUNT YOU DOWN MYSELF" Start the Hunt. I'm not buying unless it gets released in stores or is sold for less than $10 on GOG.

"It's NWNOC that is a dsigarce and evil, and that's pure FACT! r00fles!" No.

"Personally, I consider the NWN-KOTOR-JE era to be by far Bioware's worst, and that was pure Good Doctors." NWN and JE are two of BIo's best games. Better than that trash known as BG1. \ \The Docs are awesome. Plain and simple. They are the reasons why some of the best RPgs ever beenc reated. Those being BG2, NWN, JE, DA series, and ME1, and ME2. .\ "The good doctors were supposedly the reason DA2 got rushed as well." No. That was EA. the Docs were EA sio even if the Docs were the ones who said rush it (which i doubt) that would still be EA. the moment EA purchased BIO EA is BIO. "have bisexuals in Jade Empire" Bisexuals are a dsigarce and evil/ WUT!?! NWN OC is better than most RPG drek including the overrated BG1 or ME3. \ DOCS > ALL

"No. A good story is a story that knows when and how to end. It's like The Dark Knight quote, you either die a good story or you live long enough to see yourself become a bad one. Nothing good would come out of prolonging the Bhaalspawn saga. And if BG3 is completely unrelated, then it's just cashing on the name." No.

. "Still Obsidian is the one and only RPG developer that has stayed true to their origin over the years unlike others that either let fame and greed change them(***cough*** BioWare ***cough***) or failed. Still, whatever it is they will announce is pretty much guaranteed to be epic." Have they? their legacy of games suggests otherwise. LMAO "BG3 is the worst idea anyone can think of. The Bhaalspawn Saga fully ended, there's just not more you could possibly do to add to the franchise"\ \Simply not true and if you think so you lack imagination. There's tons that can be done with a BG3. And, it would be GLORIOUS. Unless you lack imagination. \ \ A BG3 can be done and it can be done awesomely. It should not eb done, hwoever, unless the docs are involved. That said, an Obsidian/BIO/pick developer can still make a fun BG3. "Hasn't Beamdog been pretty open about wanting to do Baldur's Gate 3 and almost hinting at it as something they might do? I remember reading something about it~ "When we are done with Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition" or something like that... or were they going to IWD:EE and PST:EE as well??" Beamdog is crap. Poopoo. Fart material. I sure hope they don't make BG3. 'Cause then it *would* be garbage.

"Given their track record, haven't they earned a little faith in their ability to create memorable NPCs and NPC interaction?" Which track record is that? MOTB track record? Or DS3 track record? Those two track records suggest two different things. L0L

Of course, it's not funny. It's not a joke. It's fact,

"I didn't even keep him as a regular party member in bg," Nobody did because he wasn't in BG.

"Obsidian voluntarily chose not to do a romance because they feel if they did attempt a romance, they wouldn't do it justice - due to the enormous effort and cost it would take to develop it, at the expense of exploring these other "mature" themes that don't necessarily deal with romance." Large cost? BIo romances are less than 1% of the games. Even the Jaheirha romance - as 'complicated' as it was - uses up miniscue resources. This idea that romances are some huge part of the game is silly. \ That said, games don't need romances and there's nothing wrong with them not having it. I've [played games with and without it and enjoyed and not enjoyed either kind.

"Like they're trying to lure in an extra lonely kind of videogame playing geek and it's just uncomfortable to even think about." No such thing. All video game playing geeks are lonely so they can't be 'extra lonely'.

"Dude it is still a niche game what do you want?" Define 'niche'. The misuse of the word is foolish.

"Anyway there were no romances in PS:T either" Yes, there was. There were multiple ones. P.S. Grom, King Kong was a pandering romance. Big ugly dumb evil murdering dude kidnaps innocent beautiful girl and brainwashes her ebcause she 'can change ' him from his evil ways. Romance as old as time. I mean I've seen plenty of 'King Kongs' get the girl. In fact, there was a story for one of Kanada's most famous murderers has hoodwinked some young lady into become engaged to him. HAHAHA! OLD. AS. TIME. "Relationships are so much more than sex." Agreed. relationships are much more thans ex - ie. between parent and child, friends, and the like but romantic relationship? Trust me, that comes down to sexual attraction (or money). This is proven fact.

All games are pandering. All. of. them.

Comparing this issue to extreme muslims trying to force sharia law (or any extremist group) fails big times and does a diservice to the argument in favor of forcing companies to pay for this stuff. Afterall, i don't think Hobby Lobby is going around murdering those employees (or non employees) who use this stuff. But, extremists who enforce sharia law have no problem doing with that. Plus, it's not even aboutt he money since even if Hobby lobby is forced to do this the money will be coming from the customers not them. It alwasy go back to to customers. btw, I don't think contraceptives - be they condoms, 'after morning pill' or whatever should be mandatory of any health plan.if the gov't wants health beenfis for everyone eprhaps the gov't should pay for it. Stupid thieves. And, it's not 'anti woman' to have that view. I have no issue with the woman (or man) using contraceptives. In fact, if you don't want a baby it's better than the alternative of killing the baby after getting pregnant, imo. If I want to use condoms, Ill pay for it out of my own damn money. That is what is called being INDEPENDENT.

Steroids should not be banned in sport. It's nonsense and evil to think it should be. Period. End of discussion.

In order for that to work Gasol would have to go from 18mil to 5mil. There is absolutely no reason for him to do that. There are other championship calibre teams who'd pay him more.

"complete miss the point o' ravel, but you can read as you wish. is a game, so your interpretation, no matter how wrong, is complete valid for you." So, to you, love is about trying to murder the one you claim to 'love'. It's been awhile but I distinctly remember Ravel trying to murder my TNO. that's not love. That will never be love.
