It's a shame that the respected modding community members are doing their best at spamming topics with random company bashing and feminism.

I didn't expect the reactions to be explosive, anyway; I wasn't nearly offensive enough. This would be why I hate boards with heavy-handed moderation.

Honestly, I'm having fun with it at this point. Both her and that "OMG BLIZZARD SUCKS AT EVERYTHING ALWAYS FOREVER" guy are too much. It's getting hilarious.

What's the deal with the Harumph! guy? Gosh.

I notice that alot of posters in Bioboards have a common ending to their posts. It seems to be a signature, but they actually make the effort of typing it down in EVERY post they make.

I wouldn't say Melirinda deserves the respect she gets... It just seems there's a huge crowd of retards howling for that "romance" "stuff"...

The Bioware feminism discussion reminds me of a long time ago, where one of the feminist board moderators at Nihilistic said Ice Wind Dale was equivalent to rape because of the 'exploitive' character art.

I got banned for contradicting the argument.

Good times.

I wouldn't say either :P

Well at least the Blizzard-hater guy is funny. You got to have guts to complain about dumbed down action RPGs that don't pretend to be anything more than what they are, when you make dumbed down action modules that claim to have heavy roleplaying.

Erm, what? I don't see where Volourn is joking.


You'd have to know Volurn,
If you did, you'd know what that's all about and why he does that.
Does he know something about our Princess that we don't?

And lulz, now Merilinda is angry because the developers didn't take her recent Bishop romance mod into account when developing MotB.

In your nightmare.
Stop ridiculing the poor girl.
She just loves pc-npc romances way too much.. that's all. An' if she doesn't get one that suits her then she trash-talks the game in an endless rampage saga.
Maybe if she was given the option to romance that skull NPC with The Nameless One this whole topic wouldn't exist.

The skull isn't a hawt bad boy, so she wouldn't care.

If I'll ever waste my time on making mods, I'm going to do a romance mod which I'll name "Gay with Grobnar".

That would be the greatest module of all time.

The number of women on the NWN 2 boards is frightening. Now, this is why women fail at SF and fantasy. They favor smushy mushy romances instead of other virtues of the genres.

Which is why I rarely pick up and read Fantasy Novels written by Female authors. There are a few I like, but most of them eventually get around to romantic relationship themes, which really dont hold any interest to me.

Im not saying females aren't just as capable authors, but for the most part males and females don't think the same way and femal authors usually dont write about what Im interested in.

I knew that the ending of the MotB sucked, but I didn't realise just how MUCH, until I finally finished it. From the Supplicant Gate on, the game was so lame, it hurt. Meh. I can't believe how stupid it was.

My character willingly accepted Akachi as a part of her and his drive to complete the Crusade. And I've got nothing for it. NOTHING. Unless you count a giant male figure outline in my epilogue in place of my petite female character!!!

Uhm, I liked the OC ending much more. It was drammatic and bitter-sweet when I thought that we all died trying to defeat an overwhelming foe.

words... escape me.

Back when I had the stomach to check the NWN2 boards, people bitched endlessly about the OC's ending.

Now those same people are bitching about MotB's ending...

I wouldn't say that any of the MOTB endings are works of beauty, the slides and voice acting still aren't great. But they end the story, no cliffhangers and they have consequences for your actions in game, which is all an RPG ending really needs. Comparing them to the OC endings is silly.

Naturally any comments by that Merlinda chick are completely batshit insane. She mentioned being unable to play IWD II due to it's 'insane difficulty' (no she wasn't talking about HOF) and she clogs up the modding board with useless crap about modding the IE games and stupid questions (Apparently she can't read faqs either). Since I spend a lot of time on the modules/toolset/scripting boards, this annoys me.
