Can't you people see how hard 1eyedking has it, his hand on his brow, gritting his teeth as if constipated, thinking deep thoughts about video games? He suffers while we carelessly play merely to entertain ourselves. That's the easy way out; he devotes himself to the difficult and thankless task of pontificating on the internet.

You have successfully added torpid to your BRO list.
It's long past due too

Hi there. Just came a cross this forum througha link shared on the BIS side. Most of you probably don't me; but some do (hi Saint Proverbius). *hears all the groans*


Anyways, the reason I'm doing an "official" introduction is because I ahve a funny feeling that some of my opinions on role-playing games will probably clash with some of yours. Just ask SP about that. Heh.

First of all, I have to say I love rpgs. I've been playing pnp rpgs for almost two decades - mostly dnd; but also others at times like Whit Wolf, Palladium, et al. I mostly dm, and my players say I'm good at it; but I never take that joke seriously.

Now, to computer role-playing games. I've played many of them. My favorites include the IE games (mostly the BG series, and PST), the Fallout Series (FO2 being my favorite game of all time), the FF series (though they terchnically aren't real rpgs; more like adventure games), Arcanum, and *looks around* NWN. Yyes, I know, that game isn't popular around; but I will explain my position in a bit. Other games I have played are the GB series, Wizardry, M&M, ES series, and Bard's Tales. I played Diablo 1 a long time ago and di not care for it; and I haven't even bothered trying Diablo 2. Since they are most definitely more action games then anything.

Now, to explain why I like the FO series the most. It's simple. It's the closest crpg series that comes close to giving a real freedom of choice. Not perfect; but more so then even my other top favorite games. Choices are the key for crpgs; along with a decent story.

The BG series, and PST are my next top ones due to the characters involved. Very memorable characters indeed there. Of course, I know that some including SP dislike the BG series thinking the characters are "shallow", or what not; but I just ahve to disagree with that for now.

Now, here comes the big one... NWN. I like this game. *sees the lynch mob preparing to termiante his existence*. Woah there. This doesn't mean that I think it's the best game ever as far as the OC goes. In fact, I would rate it somehwere in the 70's on a scale of 1-100. There are MANY weaknesses I can point out about it (like most games). A few are the overabundace of kewl lewt (gross), the module format, and the step backwards from the IE npcs. The story while not something origianl; still isn't bad compared to most crpgs that I have had the unfortuanate way to play. Aribeth *hears more groans* is one of my fvaorite characters in any crpg. Why, you ask? Simple. I cared about her plight. That doens't happen all the time for me so that really helped the game alot. Now, what really makes the game one of my top faves is that with all the on line play, and module making ability; it is probably the closest to true pnp rping on a computer I have seen yet. Not all will agree of course.

Now, to make it clear, I'm not one of those NWN fans who ignore complaints about the OC with lame exuses like the following:"iNWN was menat as a mp game"; "NWN has 4 parts"; or "the OC is just an after thought". Those are nonsesne. BIo intened for the OC to be as good as possible. In fact; they promised that. We can debeate how good or bad it was/is; but there is no doubt about what was intended by BIO. Now, I have been called a NWN/BIO fanboy by more than few people including SP before; but I think I have been fair (but still just giving my opinion) about the game even if you happen to disagree with me.

Anyways, sorry for all this garbage I posted; but I was reading some of the threads here; I thought I'd give a heads up before I was consantly atatcked as I will always try to be courteous in my posts while still giving my opinion whether one agrees or not.

I will stop now since most are bored by now. I know I am.

Neither was I, but that's hardly the point.

Hi there. Just came a cross

Does Volly have dyslexia or something? I thought the constant typos were for comedic effect, but apparently they were there from the beginning.

Oh you...

All I can say, 4 years ago he wouldn't back up his claims with arguments, was quite entertaining, nonetheless, and had good points in about 1/4 of his post.

But what does this have to do with Xeyedass? (Why do you guys make me do this? Why can't you choose normal names? Hell, I'd probably even accept "Odin" or "Wotan" or "Wednesday"...)

 

[Wyrmlord]

There are some hints that Sceptic is a long time lurker, or a new account of a very old poster.

Even when he was new, he seemed to recognize certain Codex memes and poster shticks quite quickly.

So? I was too lurking four years before registration. Back to OP he's right about DA.... and by right I mean he's wrong CRPGS are entertaiment not filosophical tomes or pieces of THE ARTtm. Some of them got close: Fallout1, PT, KOTOR2 etc... but they're still 99% mass KWA style cheap circuses for 12 years old consoltard prols. Reamining 1% are well made Awelonian style pieces of lulz

Sorry to say but...after reading this thread filled with hatefull, ignorant and arrogant crap I was utterly disgusted. Why people feel the need to express their stupidity in this manner and why no moderator took any action is beyond me.
For awhile now I was distressed about a lot of the comments in the forum. Ranging from wishing cancer on to everybody affiliated with bioware to short sighted offensive crap about other people/country's and the complete inability of quite a few people to see different opinions as equally worthy as their own.
Rpgcodex has great newsbits, neat reviews and a great layout and some very interesting takes on computer rpg gameing ,therefore I'll defenitely keep on visiting the site, but the forums with all the pseudo-intellectual, arrogant and bitter rhetoric...well I'll say goodbye to them.

I've been lurking since 2003 so I know exactly what the place is all about

I thought you were a bro, but you don't even remember what I told you

But what does this have to do with Xeyedass?

Well pablosdog reposted Volourn's first post, and I was respondering to that.

Why do you guys make me do this? Why can't you choose normal names?

Sceptic. Nice and easy. No king, lord or anything like that in it. No sense of superiority.

new account of a very old poster.

I don't do alts. If I forgot my password, I'd ask DU to get me another one. No other reason to start another account.

 

[spekkio]

Before I registered I used to lurk the Codex a lot, and enjoyed reading how people here liked classics like Fallout, Arcanum, PS:T, but over time I've learned they've come to like them for the wrong reasons.

5/10 trolling, penalty points for trying too hard (exmaple above) and "So now I'm gonna leave forever... Actually I'm back already" thing. Still, had a few laughs.

That was word for word Volourn's first post. I don't know what it has to do with this thread.
