maggotheart Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) The official Torment 2 boards? I know Wasteland ones were a bit too scary for me. Me too. A nice look, but a tad uninviting plus a wonky interface. I could never tell if my postings were successful there. I really don't like that board. I found that there are a handful of regular users who constantly posted novel-length replies to each other that were (in my opinion) rather devoid of content and it would push everybody elses replies off the page and suffocate any real discussion. I ended up making a lot of posts in the 'we want your mission ideas' thread and mostly just ignored the rest. For what it's worth, I liked your posts over there Edited April 19, 2013 by maggotheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I left when it started to devolve into Wasteland vs. Fallout and how any deviation/inclusion from certain aspects just meant it's not a Wasteland game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yeah it happens here. It just seemed to be more prevalent when I was posting. It also helps that in posting here, I don't really post about Project Eternity. I remember seeing a lot of what it meant to be an Infinity Engine game as well. I don't really go over to the PE forums here anymore in large part because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blarghagh Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 The PE boards terrify me. I am hyped for the game but any opinion posted there just gets flamed for not being enough yet simultaneously too much like either Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale.

Oner Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Funny, I didn't get these negative impressions aside from the occasional arrogant dimwit.

Labadal Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I visit there fairly often (less now compared to when it was announced). I mostly check out the threads to see if any of the devs have anything to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drowsy Emperor Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I think those forums are hung up on technical questions which I have little desire to discuss. The stuff I'm interested in, like story and characters, and visual design is still pretty much an unknown.

BruceVC Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I enjoy the main PE forums, there are some people who seriously spend loads of time discussing interesting points like Female Armour, Romance\Sex and the Design a Monster threads started by one of our regular members JFSOCC. But of course the word "interesting" is relative. I do find myself just naturally gravitating to this section of the Obsidian forums because I do it more insightful and topics more varied "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Wombat Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Aside from being little busier, personally, I'm bit tired of "internet politics". I don't mind any opinion from any part of board or community and I don't like to be involved with political issues when simply talking of game functions. There must be better ways to use boards whether through voting system, search functions or any other ways to filter posts/topics. The net is just mass of info and we cannot find any usefulness if the data is not sorted according to our needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Melk I haven't been to the Numenera forums yet, they sound a little hectic for my personal taste "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

melkathi Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I haven't been there either. The prospect scares me, since I the reactions from "hardcore rpgers" I have seen was one that would get on my nerves.
