Humbleness as applied to development..
IWD2 had atmosphere in spades, in fact it had the best out of all the IE games, the soundtrack too.

"But it was made for us."
It's the opposite in fact, in mmos and mobas like Diablo 3 and League of Legend you have the opposite of a sticky engagement, you have orb walking (kiting), what that is is you moving your character away from your enemy or in front of him, between attacks. To further explain it, while you wait for you auto attack to reset, you move your character. Now what is the point of this? Well, every character has a range on his attack (or auto-attack as it is called), so with moving between auto-attacks you gain distance from them and take less dmg or no damage at all if their auto-attack has a shorter range then yours. It can also be used to stay in range of the enemy. That is why I say it's the opposite in PoE, if you try to kite the enemy you will get smacked in the face with the disengagement penalty.

Can we really play the whole game with just one character?
Oh I know, that is why I said it will take some getting used to. Why would it bother you that someone else is playing the game solo? Is it important to those people that you don't find it fun or don't get it? You come of sounding like, "Well I don't find it fun, so it shouldn't be possible", that is akin to those people that rage at others for cheating in a single player game. Ok, then let me rephrase that, it will detract from the game in my opinion. I think that a similar system could have been done with just health. You could still have the maim effects and you could still limit resting and you would simplify the system by not having the stamina. Of course as I have not yet played the stamina system, this is all conjecture. But to me it seems convoluted for no reason.

Nothing confuses me, I just think it isn't needed.

That's making an assumption he read what Tagaziel wrote or for that matter what anyone else wrote.

The more I read about it, the more I think that health/stamina system is seriously over designed. Either way it's gonna take some getting used to.

"But it was made for us."
But the flip side to that is that you will probably make the other classes worse to play by balancing them to be equal to the bard. You have to ask yourself, is it better to have all the classes balanced or have all/most of them be awesome to play? Balance in a single player game should not be the main focus of attention.

Guess those images were against the rules, they were pretty graphic though.

Ongoing discussion of Ukraine
Welp, here we go. Kiev has started the offensive, Russia has called for an UN meting, they will probably call for Kiev to back down, which it probably won't do and that will give Russia free reign to move their troops in to Ukraine. Now we will see if Putin's patience has paid off.

What are you playing now
Oh man, Sacred 2. I wonder if they got all the bugs out of it, that game had so many patches.

Ongoing discussion of Ukraine
It would need to be a clear sing of aggression from the Kiev government for Russia to make a clear response. The guys in Kiev might just be stupid enough to give it to them.

"But it was made for us."
I was speaking generally to the whole crowd, your quote was just conveniently placed as the last one in the "we don't need no boob armor" argument. As for the rest, I didn't even quote you there, I was replying to another persons post. It's laughable that you are getting so worked up about boob armor in PoE. As for the whole death of PoE thing, look up Hyperbole. This whole argument is so laughable and insignificant to the game that there is no point for this much outrage and vitriol, but when you derail most of the PoE side of the forum in that direction to the point where you can't miss it, well you should expect even those who don't care about it to say something.

"But it was made for us."
I think this forum should have in it's header the definition of a straw man argument, because people still haven't learned what a strawman is... Go to the Armor and weapon design threads and look up my post, then come back and we can talk. I don't think that boobs on armors is going to be the death of PoE, especially considering how they made it look. It's neither over the top or glaringly obvious. Ffs, the first time I looked at it I missed that the scale male had boobs.

"But it was made for us."
I am a man and I know very well how boobs work, your point being? Yeah it doesn't work like that, but then what does in games? So, we are going to draw the line at boobs, because some flatchested girls are having a hissy fit about big boobs showing and their white knights are running to their rescue? Should we also exclude girls from fighter classes, because there is no way that a normal woman can carry plate male, a large ass sword, whatever is in her inventory and still hope to do any damage, because we already capped her strength attribute and it's much lower then that of the male counterpart. We should also put a penalty on crafting, because women didn't do that stuff in the old ages, they don't even do it that much in modern times. But no, we draw the line at boobs, because that is obviously going to far. Well here is the thing, games are not made just for you, nor should they be.

The Funny Things Thread.
The ****ed up thing is that they should have used that money to rework their piece of **** website. I don't think that machine generated many clicks on the article anyways. As far as I remember only a few people even bothered to comment on it. And their supper resolution pictures articles aren't that interesting. In my opinion the 10 grand they spent on the machine would have been way more useful for reworking the website and would have generated way more clicks.
