"it doesnt fit the setting and design." How does it not fit the setting? Youa re telling me n cultures use mounts? Not that you'd know. You are making stuff up without facts. That said, they should only add them if they have the resources so mounts cna be done justice.

"I personally am tired of the thousands of filler quests flopped into games these days. " These days? Filler quests have been around for a long time and are part of hardcore RPGs forever.

"Either that or the league needs to recognize that the struggling franchises just aren't able to cut it and contract the league. " This is the way it should happen. But stupid owners, players, and fans won't let it. If you can't afford to have a team you should get your butt dumped out of the league.

Pro billionaire. L0L So pathetic. Owners are evil. Somehow players are the greedy and evil ones BECAUSE THEY AGREED TO PAYCUTS AND RESTRICTIONS TO THEIR FREEDOM. HOLY **** ! "I suspect it will be the players that lose again" Like the last time when the league whined? Yet, player salaries continued to climb. Players are gonna continue to make money because the owners CHOOSE to pay them it, and why do they do it? Because theyc an afford it. if the system currently is so horrible why were the owners - even realtively lacklustre franchises - paying out millions of dolalrs for 10+ year contracts before the deadline? IT. DOES. NOT. COMPUTE,. Owners bassh a system they gladly used. Retarted. It's maazing how billionaires need to be babysat on how to spend their money. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

The players are not being greedy? How can intelligent reasonable person say that? After the last work stoppage, players agreed to many different things that limited their ability to make money - including a hard cap on salary - depsite a player like CVrosby whom makes his team lots and lots of money. The NHL is coming off its most successful season ever financially, and they are making mkoney. despite that, they demand HUGE pay cuts and other thinsg from the players AND the players have agreed to various cutbacks. How in the hell does this make the players greedy when they are willing to take less? WTF? Why do the fans love billionaire owners but hate millionaire players despite the fact its the players we watch? WTF WTF WTF Also, of course is the fact, that the players are not striking. They are locked out. This is 100% on the owners. Only dumb, evil, piece of crap peons think otherwise. DEATH TO NHL OWNERS AND BOO TO NHL OWNER SUPPORTERS WHO SHOW THEIR IGNORANCE EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!

"E3 was; despite his faults, visibly finished and DA2 was not. DA2 felt like a primitive beta version of the game that they released after cutting a few corners in order to make it profitable, which i'm sure it was."' DA2 was finished. Whetehr you like it or not is irrelevant. It was finished. "On the other hand I seriously doubt that two industry veterans can't handle criticism, so maybe some BW fans have an overestimated opinion of themselves (probably from playing the games, heyoo) if they think that they're the cause." The Oyster moran is the one spamming the stupid silly cash grab of the unneeded BG EE. Also, one of the docs has already called him out on being wrong. The docs did not quit because people were being mean on the internet. That's poppy**** and anyone who believes that crap is insane.

"I don't think that's snarky at all. NWN 1's story was so ... ummm ... cartoonish and bland " Yeah, because BG's story was so non cartoonish and nonbland/typical fantasy. (for the record, I prefer BG to the NWN OC but if youa re gonna criticize something make sure to make sense)>

"5. Does anyone actually use Minsc? He's annoying as hell and he's not a particularly powerful character. And you don't have to move the rat out of the pack. You can leave him there if you want. It's obvious that you have never played BG2 with SCSII installed and that you have no idea what you are talking about. " For someone who brags about BG series and its mod you obviously are ignorant of npc popularity. I'm no Minsc fans (in fact I find him annoying at best and a cheater at worst); but he is the most popular character in BG chronicles with maybe just maybe Viconia a few points behind.

Sorry. But a mage is about magic. Magic, by definition, should be beyond mortal abilties. Check any pnp game with magic - can pretty much cover any situation with magic. As it should be. This desire for classes to be equal in power is silly. Of course, CRPG gamers are known for their silly desire for 'balance' and 'equality'. So, might as well nerff mages and not make them mages at all.

I agree. I hope they have summong spells, and I hope they are extremely varied. and not just limited to the usual animals/elementals/demons stuff. Take a gander at the DnD pnp summoning tables and stuff liek that. Make it truly random or based on class/.alignment(or whatever equivelant due to soul)/race/gender or whatever. But, make sure they are varied.

Your list shows exactly why mod changes to core things in games are lame. Let's take #10. Why should cowled wizards even detect spells cast indoors? The point fot hem is to stop magic battles occuring in public. They don't give a crap what happens in someone's private domain hence the license. The main reason why BG series mods suck is the writing is prue garbage, the combat thrown in is usually pathetic, and things get changed for stupid reasons. You are right those options are optional hence I opt not to use such garbage.

"Second, you're assuming that weighty gold existed for a legitimate reason. " Gold should have weight for the same legitmate reason all equipment should weigh - that's the way it should work. But, hey, for convience let's not have swords and armour weigh anything either. It's just an inconvience, afterall. Real role-players -hardcore or not - should support weighted coins. It's the logical and most fun thing to do.

That's because Sawyer isn't as ahrdcore a player as people think he is. True hardcore games have weighted coins.

You don't need a credit card. I got mine with my bank/debit card. I think it would defeat the purpose of paypal if you needed a credit card.

BG2 mods suck. And, the active 'community' for it is probably lucky to reach 1k let alone 10k. If youa re gonna use a game as an example for successful communities due to mods, your best bet is to point out NWN since that was the main point of that game while BG2 'mods' are tacked on and not the point - not to mention they suck. To claim BG2 mods are equal to the main game is INSANE. I wouldn't mind if PE has modability but it certainly isn't needed.

This is a fantasy game. let's have some 'fantasy' pets not RL ones like dogs or cats. Want a dog as a pet? How about a choice between a hell hound or a blink dog. Let's make the pets fantastical to fit the fantasy.

"Diablo 1 had multiplayer (which was trash)" Why lie? The best part of Diablo 1 was its MP. Played it with my brother and it was awesome. It was maybe 1/4th the fun solo.

"nd gnomes, since they are is almost no difference between them and dwarves then it comes to anything besides stats." You nothing about gnomes and dwarves. NOTHING.

I thik it's baloney. The BIo dcos have dealt with bashing from the net since the first game they created nearly two decades ago. That's not why they quit, and Ray Myzuka has alreayd blasted such bull**** on twitter. Nontheless, we shouldn't be tkainga 3rd party's word unless the docs claim the same. They stated why they left. That should be enough. Not that it matters b/c if they aren't making games they are unimportant to us gamers. They are irrleevant. Same thing when Cain went on sabbatical. He was completely useless to me. Now, that he's making games again, he matters again. I doubt fan whining or bashing forced them out. That's silly talk. Period.

Good. I wouldn't want them to cancel the project which they would have to do without the $140.

I made an other to donate to this project if dwarves are in and since dwarves are in I plan to donate but with no silly credit card I need pay pal to be able to do so. Soo.. any idea, Obsidian, when Pay Pay will be a go for backers? Don't waste time... that's $140 you desperately need being wasted. I got the bills right beside me to ready to go.

"As long as there is no Biowarian 'I win' option in each conversation to keep companions from leaving. There should be no logical way to talk an NPC into doing something against it's values and expect it to stick with you through the end. Sure some companions would be more malleable than others, but there should always be a line that when crossed can not be undone." This is justa s common in Obsidian games than BIO. And, there are plenty of times that there is no 'i win' button in BIO game convos. Why do people feel the end to make stuff up?

No PC would ever stay in aparty where they were a slave to an NPC's whims. None. Zilch. Zero. It just wouldn't work unless you made the NPC unkillable and forced the PC to go along with it.

They could just pick the lock (or bash it). And, tracking is not always easy. In pnp this can happen quite a bit - ie. dragon hoard. Creatures in the neighbourhood will figure out the dragon is dead and decide to check out the now empty lair so not only will you lose some loot left behind you might meet more monsters (of course if said party managed to defeat the dragon the new monster likely isn't as scary heh).

They said no already so no is no. That said, they could change their mind at a later date. Anyways, personally, I don't need MP for this game. Coop MP wouldn't be a bad addition for those who wnated and comapritvely spekaing in grand scheme of things it's likely not the hardest thing to do. I doubt BIO wasted a lot of time doing MP for BG series.
