I think I've already dished out more despair ratings in this thread than I have on the rest of the Codex. And there is no end in sight.

Der Tod Die Verzweiflung ist groß.
Wir sind die Ihren
lachenden Munds.
Wenn wir uns mitten im RPGLeben meinen,
wagt sie zu weinen
mitten in uns.

"Megan, are you a Baldur's Gate fan?"
"Yeah, I spent hundreds of hours on Dark Alliance!"
I'm starting to think BG1-2 players are a minority.
I never played Dark Alliance. Is it any good and what is the big deal? I remember being some console garbage.


Just watch 30 seconds of this 11h video (timestamped random spot in the last third with action going on) and ask yourself if you could stomach 11 hours of this.
It's shovelware.

Dark Alliance 1 is a p. good charachter action game on account of it being developed by PS2 era Snowblind studios.
2 was done internally by Interplay and as a consequence is not as good.

Clearly a superior fallow up game to the BG franchise. We could only hope BG3 to be anything even remotely close to this glorious gem. Now excuse me gentlemen,i have a Tide cocktail to mix.

:excellent:

Pretty women in the game industry is dangerous... Developers will throw away their ambitions and principles for them - "Okay okay, Megan, I'll make it into Dark Alliance 3... just show me some more of that good stuff..."

Merida, again

Why is she wearing shorts? It's not like she has legs to show. Stupid whore. Also, look at the sitting arrangements. She is like the "extra" they brought in to fill their equality quota.

BG3 is mentioned in passing, Swen deflects every question. It's mostly a talk to the 3 of them about their indie studios, where they are, where they see stuff going, their creative processes, etc etc. Swen mostly talks about how he got the license, Sam Lake talks about the creative process behind Control and meeting Kojima, the guy in the middle talks a lot about Ready at Dawn's portfolio and his work at Blizzard on the original Starcraft, where among other things he created Nova, and his opinion on the recently cancelled Starcraft FPS. Megan doesn't add anything of value, mostly cause she worked on 2 flops no one heard of.

You mean a system that translates so poorly into storytelling that every author writing novels/stories/comics within a universe containing Vancian magic simply ignores it?

Jack Vance motherfucker. Do you have any idea about anything, illiterate ignoramus?

Genius, we are not talking about the author himself and what he applied in his works, but about SYSTEM CREATORS who blindly copied his ideas without any forethought.

No, analphabet retard, we are talking about (botttom-barrel) authors ignoring vancian magic because according to you, it doesn´t translete well into storytelling??!

Now, you are moving the goalpost by talking about System creators? Hell, even in the latest edition they didn't totally removed vancian casting.

Systems are meant to serve the story in an RPG, not the other way around.

Story is merely an excuse to use the pointy stick and throw fireballs.

Unfortunately, some homosexuals are more interested in unleashing their absolutely dreadful, puerile imagination thinking themselves deep and engaging, imagining themselves the author of a real story than play a game and get through maze like dungeons, surviving traps and dangerous encounters.

You're both wrong. Story and spreadsheets both serve the RP experience.
