It's offensive across the board. I published a mile long list for both IWD and BG.

Fluent prefers the EEs. That should tell you how shit they are.

My favorite codex moment was when someone wrote a vicious post about Fluent and then quickly deleted it (possibly out of concern for his mental wellbeing, or a fear that they might be feel responsible if he ever does something... drastic).

I feel privileged that I got to see it, before it vanished like tears in the rain.

also this UI mod is pretty good but largely incompatible with other UI mods. It's a complete UI overhaul.

How do you find time to post on the Codex while running your million-hits-per-day epic blog???

But seriously, I feel today that if I played the originals I would prefer them for the original vision and experience. I have no experience with the originals, but next time I play BG I will play the OG.

Pay them no heed, the Enhanced Edition as it is right now, with the ton of bugfixes as of version 2.5, is a far smoother experience than the OG. Remember that 90% of the complaints are directed towards the new party members, whom you can completely ignore (just like all the others). As for the whole Mizhena fiasco - remember that the priest stronghold quest in Baldur's Gate II had you dealing with a literal cuckold (who calls himself that) and 3 out of 4 answers on what to do was "stay with your wife". So no, weird agendas being pushed here and there isn't anything new, it's just that people have a larger capacity for butthurt.

Keldorn is also a cuck.

A Furry may see truth and seek redemption. He may be forgiven his past and will be absolved in death. A Beamdog Apologist can never be forgiven. A Beamdog Apologist will never find peace in this world or the next. There is nothing as wretched or as hated in all the world as a Beamdog Apologist.

In Keldorn's case it isn't made clear whether his wife actually fucked her lover, or was just spending time with him and building up a relationship. In Glinden's case (the guy from the quest), he literally declares that he is a cuckold.

Talos sure handles that Glinden guy with style:

Glinden‘s wife is unfaithful. Tell him to murder his wife AND her lover. When the Inspector shows up, turn Glinden in. You get 200 gold and 20,000 exp when Vilon returns.

Absolutely disgusting. Just another reason for not buying the EE.
