Oversimplifying things is a great way to conceal a fallacy. But it's still a fallacy, anyway. In the Net, if your meeting place closes, you just go elsewhere, just like everyone else. This might be an issue if there are no other meeting places where you live, or you don't like the drinks or the music of those places. But since distances are irrelevant in the Net, and I have yet to see a waitress around here, your simile isn't valid. Yeah, I know. I'm trolling. But what can I say, I'd rather troll than join the mass hysteria.

You are spamming. Stop it.

No, it's not. The Net doesn't work the same way RL does, so the example isn't valid.

Congratulations. You just earned the "stupidest remark in a relevant thread" award. Usually I'd ask how does it feel, but to be honest, I don't want you to risk putting yourself into yet greater embarassment. Don't thank me, it's my job. If you have nothing relevant to add (as you have already proven), please do us all a favor and quit wasting bandwitdth and spamming this otherwise interesting discussion. Thank you and have a nice day.

I see. So now it's an act of Faith that can't be analysed through logic. That's even better than the last one. At least you're dismissing me without giving me anything to turn against you. Very moving. Whatever. I have seen other forums close down, and there were always people frightened that "it would destroy the community". It didn't. Some people went away, some people formed a new community. New people came, too. Nothing lasts forever, that's the way things are. Tell you what, I don't even know why I bother. In the end, no matter how much you or I argue, the decision has probably been made already. Perhaps the announcement was just to avoid what happened with the NWN2 boards. At least this way we won't be able to complain that the boards were gone overnight.

Oh. So when I use your own logic against you, you resort to condescending remarks. Yes, that's indeed a great way of proving your point. Way to go!

No, if by community you understand the same user database these boards have right now, then obviously the community will not stick together. However, if we follow your reasoning, any single user that left the community at a given moment would be disrupting the community, since the membership has changed. That, as you can see, is absurd. There's more to the fanbase than just a single forum. Does social darwinism consist in a weird usage of punctuation marks?

And therefore the community would just flourish elsewhere. Thanks for proving my point.

Come now. Shutting down these boards isn't going to destroy the community, and you know that. They wouldn't be the first developer boards closed. People will just go elsewhere. Drama is the word here, people.

"A common misconception not supported by facts."

Because those are corporate forums after all. They might not be held responsible for what is posted here, but still, it affects their image. I don't like it, but I understand it. All good things...

However Force Camo is a very good power. It comes for free and it allows you to have your belt slot free for those killer +4 STR belts.

Oh, my! And who would be so cheesy to do that? "

"Kinda"? That's got to be the most disturbing reply in the whole thread. :ph34r:

Yep, that's one kickass armor. For DEX-based darksider builds it's the best armor, closely followed by the Electromesh armor.

Because that would make the game too difficult for the casual gamer. And God forbid a game in which combat lasts more than two rounds and puts the player's ego at risk.

You s'wit!

Well, it seemed pretty real, with all the Force powers affecting both and all of that. Not to mention telepathy, the stuff with the hand, and the link in question appearing in the Force powers screen.

Well, the ritual being a means of controlling the beasts has much more sense in regards to the rest of the plot than a totally unexplained and later forgotten attempt to resurrect or take advantage of a dead Sith Lord in which nobody had any interest whatsoever. And when they say that you are too late, they may be referring to the beast bringing down the forcefield, and therefore, the ritual not being necessary any longer. It doesn't really matter if you can kill the poor thing in two strikes, it's supposed to be a really tough beast. But as we all know, the game is broken when it comes to gameplay mechanics.

The ritual is intended to control the beasts you fight later in Onderon that are somewhat under Sith control.

OK, this is not quite part of the ending, but it appears to have been cut from the game too (or at least I haven't been able to acess it in 2 1/2 playthroughs). Browsing through HK's sound files, I came across some references to 'simulations'. Apparently, you were supposed to have access to both turret simulations (just like in K1) AND sparring matches with your companions. The files are StreamVoice\GBL\hk47\gblhk47036-38.wav I think it would have been a pretty cool feature, and it's a shame it didn't make it into the final version.

It only works if you have a lightsaber equipped.

Hey, what can I say. Would you like her just the same if instead of her eyes she was missing her legs, or her... *ahem*, well, you get my meaning. "

Still, I like my girls with eyeballs, thank-you-very-much. No amount of lipstick is going to change that.

No.
