March 25, 201510 yr I tried to get into it a few times, i forced myself to like it. But in the end i found D:OS repellent in almost every aspect. the combat is tedious, the graphics hurt the eyesight, the story - a cliche. So, what makes u play it? I see the dreams so marvelously sad The creeks of land so solid and encrusted Where wave and tide against the shore is busted While chanting by the moonlit twilight's bed trees (of Twin Elms) could use more of Magran's touch © Durance

Mostly the fact that it lets me douse people in oil then set them on fire.

March 25, 201510 yr Well ,do you know of any other game that lets you control two hot redheaded girls as your protagonists?

March 25, 201510 yr Oh, right, it also allows me some semblance of respectability while arguing with myself. "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
March 25, 201510 yr I played it for the multiplayer, the combat IMO is super fun with a good friend that also likes the same genre. Edited March 25, 201510 yr by Azureblaze
March 25, 201510 yr Because it was fun?Because it actually had fun Turn-Based combat? Because mixing stuff in combat was awesome? Because Larian is good at making funny quirky games? Because it was literally the best RPG in over 5 years? ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

March 25, 201510 yr I don't understand why people like escargot. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
March 25, 201510 yr Author Because it was fun? Because it actually had fun Turn-Based combat? Because mixing stuff in combat was awesome? Because Larian is good at making funny quirky games? Because it was literally the best RPG in over 5 years? 1. No 2. Really no. 3. Questionable. 4. quirky doesn't auto mean funny. 5. NO!!!

March 25, 201510 yr It's not very funny and the story sucks. But it sure had better environmental interaction, in combat or out of combat, than most RPGs - something sorely missed after Ultima 7. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
March 25, 201510 yr Okay, what do I win? A copy of Divinity: Pillars of Original Eternity. 1. Yes 2. More so yes. 3. Questionable to deny. 4. But funny means funny. 5. Call any one game in 5 years before it which is better.

March 25, 201510 yr I adore Larian's tongue in cheek humor, they dont take themselves too seriously and that is a pleasant change in the genre.
March 25, 201510 yr 5. Call any one game in 5 years before it which is better. Shadowrun: Dragonfall "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."

March 26, 201510 yr i forced myself to like it Yeah... can you give some tips on how to accomplish this in general. Asking for a friend. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

March 26, 201510 yr It's not very funny and the story sucks. But it sure had better environmental interaction, in combat or out of combat, than most RPGs - something sorely missed after Ultima 7. Your'e opinion basically. I thought the game was very funny in a lot of place, and I thought the game's story was a breath of fresh air compared to all the edgy and depressing super serious RPGs we've been getting lately.
March 26, 201510 yr I've only played a few hours so far due to lack of time for a game at the moment, but so far it looks better than almost everything else I've played single player RPG wise in the last 10+ years. That said. OP, you suck, as does anyone else that ever start a thread in such a manner. The Obs forum community lets immature loser trolls start and control conversations all too often...

March 26, 201510 yr The story was good ,the music was Great and the game play was fun and challenging. At last ,an RPG that doesn't take place in some dark medieval settings but in some beautiful locations and it doesn't take itself so seriously .

March 26, 201510 yr You started a thread about a game just because you couldn't get into it? That was my thought too... the rather non constructive opening post makes me doubt this leads to useful discussions. Lets see if we can keep it civil? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
March 26, 201510 yr everyone has his own tastes. there are some things that many, or even almost all, will like but some will still dislike i heard people praise temple of elemental evil as the best port of DnD on a pc game... i could never play the game more than a few hours before i got bored with it everyone says that fallout 1 and 2 were some of the greatest games of all time and i agree... however my brother cant stand to play them for even an hour or to make a real life example, i see guys with some really ugly girls. why would anyone date her is something i cant imagine since i'd rather stay forever alone than date that thing, but the fact remains that he does. even if i get to know why he likes her, i still would never consider hooking up with her or someone that looks like her or to put it in physics terms, no matter how hard a 4D person tries to explain to you what a 4D object looks like, since you can only perceive 3 dimentions you can never even imagine the shape so knowing why people like DOS will not make you like it, it will simply make you question their sanity for liking it, just as they question yours for not liking it Edited March 26, 201510 yr by teknoman2 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.
