Being a console gamer (mostly nintendo) as well as a pc gamer I use term against those I am greatly disrespecting. They're not being intolerant. The notion that black people (or any people really) are property has severe legal consequences. The notion that homosexuality is "unnatural" does not have legal consequences. Said person is not intolerant to the idea. They just don't accept it. Big difference.

That was certainly the case with the limerick situation. Far too many users were frothing at the mouth that Obsidian would care that the limerick offended a trans woman (maybe others too? I dunno.) and wanted to rectify it. Truth be told, I'm of the opinion that Obsidian should have just ignored Erika (not that Obsidian did anything morally wrong; just unwise.), but the reaction from some users to Obsidian removing it was obnoxious as heck. As bad as any SJW.

It can't be bigoted without there being a dislike of the given characteristic. Shallow minded perhaps, but not bigoted. Definition of bigotry: A state of mind where a person obstinately, irrationally, unfairly, or intolerantly DISLIKES other people, ideas, etc. Bigotry carries a powerful stigma for a reason. Don't make the term weaker by applying it to people whom are simply ignorant. It won't help anyone, and just elevates the genuine bigots up to the same level as ignorant but well-meaning people. It's a joke in the same vein as, "pc master race". It's not that SJW's are seen as actual warriors, but rather they're being mocked for the way they (supposedly) view themselves as warriors that are accomplishing great things. The fact that some SJW's would embrace the term is just confirming the joke for the people who use the term as an insult.

EI Mod and my opinions
Namutree replied to Mdalton31's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Awesome ideas. This would make PoE so much better. -
No, no it doesn't. That would only be the case if pre-buffing was better than using buffs in battle, which wouldn't be the case. This is true even with pre-buffing. You do realize that buffs in PoE have a very short duration, right? Trying to stack them would just be wasting them. They'll be gone before you're done casting them.
-
Not really. Not allowing pre-buffing in PoE does nothing to force us to make harder choices. Using pre-buffs in PoE would mean you get less out of them. That's not meaningless as the wizard can only cast so many spells per day, and the duration in PoE are very short. Taking away that option adds nothing. Although it does serve to help make playing a wizard feel more constrained.

If you think PoE beats BG1 in regards itemization; well, you must be on crack. Which boots in PoE are as cool and memorable as, "Paws of the Cheetah"? Which Robes are as epic as, "Robe of the evil Magi"? Which wand is as over the top epic as, "Wand of Monster Summoning"? Which gloves in PoE compete with, "Gauntlets of Dexterity"? The itemization in PoE is very bland compared to that.

No immunities

Death spells worked too IIRC. -
No immunities
Namutree replied to Cronstintein's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
The ground is so slippery that they slip just lookin' at it. Seriously though, gameplay wise; we need immunities. Combat is too repetitive, a few enemies with immunities would help deal with that. -

This is bullcrap. If this is 'true' then one could say that not left lean glitching in Call of Duty 1 is a self-imposed limitation, and because you don't left lean glitch, you're gimping yourself. Or duping items in Diablo 2 or Titan Quest. It's not - it's exploiting the game. Let's not place exploitable but intended mechanics in the same category as glitches and bugs. -

There should be a mod for the IE games that combats rest spamming. Maybe there is one and I don't know it. There is one. It's called 'self control'. Where can I download it? -
