  1. Oh I open all books and click all chat options, I just don't ... read them with super concentration, since I just forget it all after the next combat or two. There was a couple of lore tomes that had stories I liked enough to focus on them enough to remember I liked them, but not enough to quote them or their titles even. You're an oddity.I really wondered why so much time would be wasting developing such in game lore that had no relevance to the main plot. I guess it's for people like you. I've read all the BG2 books at some time or another. History of the Dead Three was always my favorite - Jergal becoming tired of his godhood and giving it away to Bhaal, Myrkul, and...Bane?...via a game of seeing who can throw a lich's head the farthest or some such. Good times, I think it was rolling dice, but the only things I clearly remember are (1)Bane was the warrior, Myrkul the mage, and Bhaal the assassin or thief (2) Bhaal got terrible thirds and the other two got btfo (3)Malar shows up and misses out
  2. Getting a bit bored of PoE. I find the writing generally good with some dry spots, but the combat is much too repetitive.
  3. Nope. What I saw (in my quick skim) was a man who is paler than me and has a whiter name than me and because of this I haphazardly assumed him to be white. Although I was facetious in my post, he does indeed have “white-passing privilege” however knowing America and his background, who knows, he probably has been subject to race based discrimination. Ah, but privilege is based on social relations. A Latino in the SW US will not be considered White by people in his area and therefore in his social interactions will not possess the privilege of being considered White. Therefore I must conclude that any "white-passing privilege" Mr. Correria would have in Australia(where you reside, IIRC) will not be applicable to him where he resides and is void when considering his current situation. But we aren't talking about being discriminated against by society, we are talking about being discriminated against in a SciFi/Fantasy award contest. With this in mind, how does Mr. Correria's politics invalidate his claims? Would claims by an Anarchist(not an-crap neo-fedualist) or Communist be similarly invalidated for not conforming to a specific neo-liberal ideology?
  4. People who say Vidya insead of video should be banned from the internet. Whats next Animu? ... I tell you what you weeaboo, I'll say vidya and animu all I want god damn it. I'm a Texas man and I ain't eatin no 12 oz roll of sausage.
  5. Har-dee-har, playing with fire man. I can out SJ speak you any day.Observe: White privilege is not determined by how one identifies but by how they're identified. Privilege is based on social relations and those who are of or are perceived as part of the privileged group will have privilege over those who are not.White-passing privilege is REALWhite-passing privilege is REALWhite-passing privilege is REALSincerely, a poc.Have you ever been to the Southwest US? Because in that area Larry Correria: Would be identified as hispanic(or mestizo if you want to be correct) to anyone who has encountered those of mestizo descent on a regular basis. But this has little to do with being discriminated against on the basis of his political views in a SciFi/Fantasy awards event. Would said alleged discrimination be more believable if it was a female, African, or homosexual individual alleging discrimination for holding similar beliefs? He's hispanic not white. Hispanic is not a race. Mestizo is, and I figured it would be easier to use the more familiar "hispanic" to describe Correia as most people will use those words interchangeably.
  6. He's hispanic not white. He's Transcracker according to certain ideologies. Good to know they're using the proper pronouns this time. An affluent white-passing hispanic right-wing libertarian male feels discriminated against on the basis of his political beliefs.Better? Interesting you feel the need to whitewash non-whites when they disagree with you. If being discriminated against on the basis of politics is what is happening, then why is his ethnicity, sex, or orientation relevant?
  7. I think the expansion could help fix that by introducing enemies that fall into the dreaded, "hard counter" category. I think it needs more than that honestly. I don't know exactly what to do, but when I'm using the same tactics every fight something is wrong IMO.
  8. He's hispanic not white.
  9. BDSM is unnatural. Pegging is unnatural. Condoms are unnatural. Vidya romance is unnatural.
  10. Sadly, there is an element of gamergate whose view on freedom of expression stops when said view agrees with SJWs. I don't agree with that view at all, and it has caused me to question my involvement with this bull****. Whatever, PoE has combat that gets repetitive as hell and isn't really affected by a poem being changed to tell certain folks off.
  11. If Anarchy destroyed the State, Bob Saget wouldn't have been accused of raping and murdering a girl in 1990. Checkmate statist scum. Ps, private property in an anarchist world would be impossible to enforce without violating the idea of anarchy. If you kept the principle of private property, you would be creating a feudalist environment.
  12. That sucks. Sensuki was the dude who spent a ****load of time betaing PoE and if he walked away that doesn't look too good,
  13. uh, they can't. in fact, no commercial entity trying to make a crpg has permission to do so at this point. this is in fact, the main reason PoE is not Baldur's Gate 3. I for one welcome diversity, and would actually wish this game to be even FURTHER from the DnD ruleset than it is. vive la difference! I was talking about a remake of the IE games, which need to use some DnD ruleset. Given the choice between 2E and another system, I would pick 5E because 2E is bad.
  14. While I was playing PoE over the easter break, my flatmate was playing DA:I, he made a character that looked as much like himself as he could manage, then proceeded to try to sleep with all the female characters. You should force your flatmate to play something that isn't ****. Seriously, slugging through 40 hours of dull gameplay for e-poontang is pretty bad.
  15. I think the problem is lack of enemy variety, and in my case no mods to change difficulty. That said, the combat system pushes high damage/ DT bypass generlly, but BG2 pushed dual-wielding as the bet weapon style so I'm not sure if that's different either. *shrug* I jut wan't a game with good combat.
  16. I hope not. Beamdog's original content in the EE was cringe worthy. Pistols at dawn.
  17. Look at the 'likes' on this post. PrimeJunta is a simpering commie SJW. I'm a rugged, macho lover of freedom, rare steak and chainmail bikinis. And guess what? We both agree anameforobsidian. To be fair, that's because vidya romance is cancer. And the fans are even worse.
  18. No, because by then the current engine will be obsolete. The IE games are just as good as they ever were and modders have heroically released mods that make the games great. If they do remake the IE games, aside from the lame EE crap, they should overhaul the mechanics to use the 5e ruleset.
  19. Post apocalyptic Sci-Fi Western Steampunk Vampire Spy Thriller set in the future of the PoE setting. RTwP or FP with heavy stealth mechanics, designed by Chris Avellone during an acid trip.
  20. That's like comparing beer to wine. They are simply different. You're right, it's comparing two different things where one is clearly superior. Suck it sausage and wine.
  21. I agree with OP, the lack of scaling spells makes them disappointing. I find myself not using the low-level spells very much when I'm between 6-9. Then again, a problem wit the IE magic system is that some spells are clearly better than others and sme are useless after a certain level. Like Sleep becoming useless and Magic Missile becoming a reliable damage dealer. Wish they would find a middle ground there. And Cipher > Wizard. Seriously, my Cipher PC can almost always use his best powers in a fight were Aloth I have to save his good hit for later encounters.
  22. I've found it easy to go back, as all black sausage I've had wasn't very good. Brisket>Sausage
  23. PoE in PotD has combat that starts off hard but devolves into using the same tactics for every fight. So far it's been a good game otherwise, but fights could use more variety. And balance still sucks because Cipher > Wizard or Rogue. Paralysis then high damage attacks shreds most things I end up fighting. Also the DT system heavily favors high damage and armor penetration in most fights. Sabres are pretty poor as well.
  24. Vok is my hero too. http://youtu.be/-DSVDcw6iW8
