    How to post like Roguey:

    It the topic about JE Sawyer?

    Yes - Post OMG OVER THE TOP FAN BOY PRAISE AND SHOW THE VIRTUES OF HOW AWESOME SAWYER IS! OMG!
    No - Shit post embarrassingly shit generic statements. Bonus points for saying how superior Sawyer is on a same issue.

    I actually like Sawyer. I do not however 100% agree with his opinions on many issues.

    Apparently, not everyone comprehends that criticizing a person doesn't necessarily mean that the critic doesn't hold the subject of criticism in high regard in other respects.

    Edit: Jesus Christ, that's the most convoluted sentence I've written all year. :lol:

    I may not agree with Sawyer but he seems quite willing to throw away ideas that don't work and to explain his reasoning which is more than good enough.

    Not that earlier. The things they did to make combat worse were purely design decisions.

    I never found Torment's combat that bad for the type of game it was. It's not like BG's combat got even remotely interesting until 2 (and that was only because of mage battles). Torment at least had the virtue of cool spells and abilities that evoked the setting and tied into the characters in a personal way (I will never forget Dakkon's crossbow of *knowing* infinite projectiles).

    Yeah. A get the impression, this moron was never going to stick to his pledge. If it wasn't the "non-apology" it would be the word "no": You used the word no in your update. I hate the word no. I never use the word no. No pledge from me in that case.

    Some people in the rpg.net thread got butthurt too. Not everyone has a sense of humour, I guess.

    Pretty much. Everybody is better off without these "I don't like your face, I'm taking back my money" retards. You'd expect people to take back their money if something is announced about the game that they don't like, but no the "terrible game design" wasn't enough. You see, he was doing them a favor by pledging. But NOT ANYMORE!

    Likely the "why are elves racist? :((((" people?

    That's rpg.net, those people wouldn't be mollified by anything short of ritual disembowelment.

    Could be a joke post, could be serious. Really difficult to tell, since it's SA after all. Kind of like that one thread about niggers in Site Feedback.
