Limerick edit thread
Lord Wafflebum replied to Divinehammer's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Regardless of whether or not Obsidian did it because the backer requested it, I think this sets a bad precedent. Censorship is like terrorism- once you give ground the slope starts to get slippery.- 636 replies

Sax mods?
Lord Wafflebum replied to Nukenin's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
That didn't take long -
When you look at the NPC that has the clothes you can see the NPC wearing them. The same goes for the hat. No murder spree required. In fact, if you play your cards right they will actually pick a fight with you, so you don't even have to soil your conscience much. Mungri selfishly hoarding knowledge has sent me into a homicide spiral I can only escape by murdering everyone

Actually I believe trans is humanities third gender. I don't believe this opinion dehumanizes trans persons, nor means I have any hatred towards them, it simply means I think they are different. It is because of this difference that I believe it is deceitful for one such person to not disclose (in this instance) that they weren't born female. I believe if a person wholeheartedly believes they were born with the wrong genitals, then they have every right (and I applaud their decision) to transition towards what makes them happy and healthy. It just also means I may disagree with what their new gender is. Fine. The point being, the fundamental difference between us is that you don't accept them as their stated gender and I do. And because our hard lined stances on that matter, I am going to go ahead and remove myself from the thread instead of talking around in circles. Good chat though, have a good day <3 Quitter

Stealth/scouting mechanics
Lord Wafflebum replied to Spivo's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Agreed, stealth is too punishing. I can't imagine every living thing is that perceptive. Hopefully it gets better balanced in a patch. If nothing else, one of the devs mentioned during the beta they were planning on fleshing out the stealth system better for the expansion -
First off: I'm not sure if this is a bug, or maybe I don't have the correct option checked. Some of the time when my companions make a comment while we're running around the transcript will appear in a little blurb over their head. Sometimes that blurb doesn't exist when they're talking, and I tend to completely miss what they were saying. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not and ultimately a really minor thing overall, but does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Both exist to a great extent in the world as well. There's a difference between personal insensitivity and institutional insensitivity. The former should be ignored. The latter should be met with public outrage. I largely concur (challenge or ignore depending on the situation with the first) but you seem to be avoiding the question, could you answer it please? Also note that the author of the limerick is happy to have it changed, so now it's in Obsidian's hands. Of allowing racism or saying crappy things? Yeah, I'm very anti-censorship, regardless of content. However, I'm also anti-anonymity. People should have to stand by the things they say. The guy owned up for, and seems to regret it. He also seems to have learned a lesson from it, so in my view all is good.
