I finally understand how shitty the Codex is

The Codex is not a hive mind. Everyone has their own opinion. Some agree. Most don't.
My impression about DA:O is pretty much the same as yours only I probably think less of it. I did play it a few times, but now that I've seen most of the variations in the story I cannot ignore the faults in the game. Most notably the writing is very awkward and the world itself is ridiculous. There should never have been darkspawn. It's such a silly addition to the world; mindless evil zombies.
1eyedking, you need to hop down off of your nerdy high horse. How can you claim to have outgrown the Codex when you make broad generalizations about its community as if you are some ignorant child? This thread equates to "I GOT MAD IN ANOTHER THREAD, SO I'M CALLING YOU ALL STUPID FAGGOTS AND LEAVING! LAST WORD! LOLOLOL" If you really were super intelligent and super mature, as you claim, you wouldn't have said anything. You'd log off, remove the Codex from your favorites and leave.

Bu-bu-bu-but games are serious business, Serious_Business. They're clearly the only important things in this world, and we literally have nothing else to concern ourselves with...

"But that's when it hit me. I had to "turn my mind off" to enjoy whatever gameplay bits (and they're few) the game had to offer. I had to stop juding the voice-acting, the aesthetic design decisions, the way characters acted and behaved, the completely horrible and unbelievable writing, the reasons why a dungeon should or shouldn't exist, the economic and political landscape of the world, the uninspired monster lore, the whole Witcher rip-off vibe you get out of every corner of the game, and a myriad of other stuff that I simply couldn't bear to ignore."
DA is many thuings but a 'rip off' off of the 'rip off' that is TW? What kind of bullshit joke is that? FFS

Can I have your posts, 1eyedking? I've got a plan for them. I'm hoping I could trade them to some other Codexer for a TF2 hat.

I have been an rpg player for a while, and new to the codex. I bought DA:O on the hype and a friend was buying it. Even after I saw a demo of it at GenCon two years running, and knew how shitty it was going to be from the trailers. (However, they gave out official DA:O D20's, which I still have a couple of, so that was cool of them.) I played half of it and stopped because I could not go on.
When I stumbled on this site and found the strength within me to finish that game. That game was finished just to discover how bad it was, which one or two people were grumbling about. Ironically, when I joined here, people were still in love with DA:O and fawning over DA:2. All I can think is: you guys! Now you tell me!
My reason for hating this site is the dumping on the original Bard's Tale series, but that's just me.

WAT?
1EK is one of the most insightful and entertaining posters on this site, and while I don't necessarily agree with him all the time I still very much enjoy reading his posts. Of course it comes as no surprise that his polarizing views make him unpopular in the eyes of many Codexers.
OT: I guess people enjoy DA for the same reason they enjoy Drakensang, regardless of its quality: it's a party-based RPG in a time when party-based RPG are pretty much extinct. That's all there is to it. Don't let VD's review fool you; he's pretty much just a very elaborate troll.

Have you ever read his posts?
Except Drakensang's quality as an RPG is higher. Not to even mention River of Time.made said:

Just an impression I have, but people really seem to dump on the original BT series. Wizardries, Goldboxes, Wasteland, Ultimas, TES: Arena: all mentioned for their historical merits and contribution to modern crpg thought. BT is usually dumped on or convieniently left out. Ah, maybe people don't understand it's contribution, I don't know.
