Was the vision on Korriban DEEP?

Could this scene be interpreted as a conflict of collectivism and individualism?

Siding with Kreia = anti-collectivism
Siding with the rest = pro-collectivism (then again among them is atton rand)

Is Chris Avellone a randroid? Are his beliefs being smuggled inside his games in a subtle way?

Gasp.

 

[Captain Shrek]

Kindly explain how did you see any collectivism here at all???!!!

Did you just watch Atlas Shrugged.

 

[laclongquan]

Just out from a Philosophy 101?

The damn thing looks poor designs and poor writing to me.

 

[Topher]

It may be deep but I'm certainly not seeing any pro/anti-collectivism angle.

 

[tindrli]

i don't remember

 

[curry]

Definitely not deep.

 

[Befuddled Halfling]

Probably reading too much into that. Kreya was nicely written, and her running commentary on your light/dark -side decisions was interesting (she was the voice of philosophy 101), but I don't think they went to particular lengths to hide issues. And I doubt they would have done it for something as pedestrian as collectivism. Now if it were some contentious religion/sex/politics -related stuff, then I might be inclined to read between the lines.

Nothing Assellone does is deep. It just looks that way because his primary competition amounts to little more than this:

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

I don't care how derp it is but it's more interesting to hear than "You can't possibly understand because we're beyond understanding 'cuz we're robots", "Have you seen my middle-aged guy" or "We have to kill the archdragon or every last one of us is doomed!". Interesting perhaps because the character is pretty well made. I also liked Goto, all that "For the good of all" business. Nothing I haven't heard before but it works for the character and the delivery is good.

I thought the Codex was a mature, smart dude, who ain't afraid of no one.

Of course its not deep. You wouldn't get it if it were deep. Let me put it this way:

"To what extent can truth stand incorporation? This is the question, This is the experiment."

Can you make any sense out of this statement? This is non-entry level philosophy. A grown up would NOT want it in his game. He'd want Kreia.

You don't need philosophy at all to add depth (though it's one way of doing it). Sawyer was ranting about the lack of subtext and other literaturefag shit on his formspring. To him that's depth. To me, depth is a complex plot. It can be built on simple or complex philosophy or not built on philosophy at all like an entertaining crime novel. As long as the philosophy in it, if any, stays coherent, I really don't care.

Stuff your culture up your dick. I play games to beat challenges, not to ponder issues some loser who thinks he's Aristotle because he took Philosophy 101 thinks are deep.

Strange, no philosophy there.

If Avellone's philosophy challenges your mind then you're probably a lobotomy patient anyway.

So edgy...



But still a shitty poster

Its ok Mastermind. Enjoy your Skyrim and leave us in Peace. I am sure you find the philosophy of 'Pus ro Dah' challenging.

 

[Commissar Draco]

This the true meaning of this scene: Apathy is Death!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r63CsrHZ ... re=related

Kotor 2 has some philosophy ( as the art of wise living) not gamin' with words and postmodernist philistry you get on commie infested unies. Good philosophy shud have real utility not deep for the sake of being deep. In this case the hero must pick the side, any side or perish.

There is no real philosophy in TES. It's why the series is vastly superior to anything Aveshit has produced. No philosophy > shit philosophy. But by all means pretend that playing KOTOR2 makes you some sort of intellectual juggernaut.

You have succesfully argued MM that nothing >>>> Something.

A true mastermind. I accept defeat.

All hail King of the losers!

Hey Captain Shrek, what is better, nothing or getting a cock stuck in your mouth?
Captain Shrek: Cock please, nothing is for losers.
