Luckmann Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Last thread locked for length. Original Thread: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/73243-memorials-problem/ Edited March 30, 2015 by Luckmann
Luckmann Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 I think people overly offended at the notion of Obsidian removing it are also ridiculous frankly. Blahblah censorship integrity we'll boycott yadda yadda, it's a few lines of irrelevant text a backer wrote. The thing is; there's a lot of "few lines of irrelevant text a backer wrote". And the vast majority of those could be removed to improve the game. But if this one is removed, they're not doing it to improve the game, they're doing it to cave to people I disagree with that have turned the act of being offended into a politicized business model. 5

PrimeJunta Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 In those cases the mods start the new thread though. I'm pretty sure this is I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com

Andrew_C Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I feel this video by TMBG is relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHxEnQZi3Ow
Hiro Protagonist II Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 No Luckman. Pidesco said everything that's been said has been said. We just need to wait. Also, this thread needs to be nuked. 1
PBJam Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I think this has been discussed enough already? The Unofficial Pillars of Eternity Wiki - Community/Fan Maintained!
soedenone Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I hadn't heard of this until today. I am outright confused by the sentiment at play in the complaint. I doubt I can provide anything to the debate that hasn't already been covered in other threads, but I guess I can chime in just to confess being equally puzzles by the topic not being up for further discussion? The thread doesn't break any rules, does it? Why wouldn't it be acceptable to keep the talk going? I don't understand. EDIT: If people want to discuss this topic and aren't breaking any rules, why not allow it? The topic has relevance to the game after all, doesn't it? Again, I just don't understand.

stillgray Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 The outrage over the possibility that the backer text (which doesn't even fit into the lore of the world, nor is it meant to) is going to be removed is even more ridiculous than the initial outrage. Seriously? Another thread?
PrimeJunta Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 In re the fact of the matter is that there isn't any real discussion going on, just people shouting at one another. If you're into that sort of thing, hey, Twitter. I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com

Again, I just don't understand. Because it's been discussed to death already?

Pidesco Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 This issue has been brought to the attention of the powers that be. No more threads on the subject please. The previous 30 page thread was enough. 2 "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.
