Why did Obsidian despise light-side Revan?

*sigh*

 

this is long time ago kinda stuff, so you get extreme abbreviated version.  'bout contemporaneous with totsc release, Gromnir begins posting as Gromnir.  first post in this manner were an observation that our bg character o' the same name were not benefiting from "mag. def. adj." for high wisdom as described in the bg manual.  our character were a vanilla fighter that, thanks to the vagaries o' chance and poor judgement to not re-roll, were having high wisdom and low intelligence.  other stats were utter forgettable.  in any event, having recognized that the magic defence adjustment for high wisdom characters as displayed in both the bg and totsc manuals were not being applied to game characters, we post and kinda ham-up the low intelligence angle o' our cheated character, and add lurid and ridiculous threats o' the smash and bash type if bioware did not fix magical defence adjustment... worse, we would keep posting as Gromnir til they fixed mag. def. adj.

 

half the board were mortified at the disrespectful manner o' our post.  maybe 20% o' boardies laughed.  no surprise at breakdown o' replies save that the biowarians were near complete in the 20% who saw the post as humorous.  the bg boards back in those days were a bit clannish and outsiders who shared opinions contrary to accepted groupthink were tending to be treated... poorly.  am admitting we were relieved to see that the developers were not part o' the problem.

 

bio/black isle never did fix magical defence adjustment. 

 

HA! Good Fun!

Thanks for taking the time to explain something that must be tiring to have to go over yet again.  One question: does it have to be Bioware to fix the issue or does it not matter how it gets fixed?  Because if the latter I can see this being fine motivation for those who are not so fond of your posting style to make a mod (not me, I love it personally).
