Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

I've played enough crpgs to have a good idea about what the content will be like.

Playing lots of CRPGs doesn't make you clairvoyant

You are consistently finding fault in Roguey Logic without getting butthurt like you did intitally with iamweasal . And he is not replying to your accusations of either he is josh...or it is just his fantasy fetish that he claims to know how josh thinks.

Would your posts if I could.

I already did.

Roguey has ran the most successful character assassination in the history of the 'dex, and that is saying something. Before Roguey, Sawyer had been one of my favourite designers. I regularly read Diogenes Lamp and followed The Black Hound mod. Now, I can't help feeling ever so slightly repulsed by the man, as if by a slimeball cult leader.

Roguey will be so proud... don't make it happy

Might get us on Swen's blog, if we're lucky.

Actually, to newfags who aren't familiar with Rogueys style of trolling, this discussion provides perspective on his unique mix of shitposting, Sawyer fantasies and out of context quotes.

It does allow one to make educated predictions, especially since a lot of this is very much last-minute in an attempt to make their systems look deeper than they actually were.

Edit: And by the waaaaaaaaaaaay. Back when the Kickstarter campaign was still going:

It's a pretty competitive space too, you have Antharion, Avadon 2: The Corruption, Blackguards, Chaos Chronicles, The Dark Triad: Dragon's Death, Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption and Might and Magic X. Possibly others too; thinking about it just makes me sick.

Plus it's also Josh Sawyer-donation-worthy. I'm sure he wouldn't approve of their approach to systems but he still considered it interesting enough.

And now look at his list of backed-projects http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/1724533005
Original Sin is nowhere to be found. He withdrew his pledge before the campaign ended. Obviously saw the major, major problems Larian has when it comes to making fun games. The smart money knew when to back out, but I'm going to stick with this ship right through the iceberg for the laughs.

Roguey the educated predictions in a bad combination of words because in a sense they contradict each other, and you are using this combination to give your prediction a value or weight, only through this combination.
In sciences it is only a prediction of an outcome of an experiment, and that is called an educated guess. This educated guess is a hypothesis, and is only educated, because it is based on a study (previous observations).
The conclusion of this study of cases, in its abstraction is the hypothesis. This hypothesis has borders of validity and shows also how to falsify itself. You have not named a hypothesis and neither your cases studies with that we could verify the validity of your hypothesis, before the outcome of this experiment that we call D:OS.
What you are doing is only guessing. So to beginn this again name us please your hypothesis, the cases on which the hypothesis is founded and state why D:OS falls in the statement of this hypothesis. Also we can evaluate if PE, WL2, T:ToN, or any other project like that directed by JES, falls also under the statement of the hypothesis.

Hmmm smart money....honestly???
GTFO: A Film About Women in Gaming == smart money?
SHAKER: An RPG by Brenda Brathwaite & Tom Hall == smart money?
Tropes vs. Women in Video Games == smart money?
Carmageddon: Reincarnation == smart money?
I want to paint the greatest Sears stores in the country. == smart money?

Expeditions: Conquistador didn't they have also problems?

But then you should not criticise this smart money:
WL2, T:ToN, Sui Generis.

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

still he backed shaker. lol.

maybe he just hate Belgians?!

 

[Western]

Sawyer must've dropped his pledge when they covered up the boobs.

 

[evdk]

Does Roguey now stalk all the KS megathreads with his sawyerisms? I am too afraid to look.

Hmm, I'll ask him about this. He probably won't reply though.

He actually backed MASSIVE CHALICE.

 

[cherry blossom]

So Roguey, what have you thought about Shaker back then?

 

[Zeriel]

Backing Jagged Alliance: Flashback and Massive Chalice kind of makes it sound like he intentionally backs things likely to fail, and he withdrew his support for D:OS because he decided it was actually going to succeed.

 

[felipepepe]

Thank you Roguey for showing us Sawyer's backing list, now it's even easier to disregard him.

 

[Mantic]

Sometimes comedy writes itself. He even looks like a whiteknighting mangina who feels like he has to support feel-good causes to get noticed by the gurls

 

[DeepOcean]

Sawyer isn't even all that bad as a designer with this sexism thing. While his personal views are the same as manginas in general, he isn't the type that have to shove his personal views in all games he make. He understands that world building and personal views are two different things. On contrary to David Gayder, who thinks that he needs to shove his gender and sex ideas in everything he does. Just see the difference between Cassidy on New Vegas, that is a "strong woman" that still is a woman to Cassandra in DA 2 that is a man with tits.Failure really follows him, being the leader designer on many cancelled titles to be a backer of cancelled kickstarters and scams.

 

[Grunker]

The amount of butthurt you can cause with simple, short posts is astonishing, Roguey. I salute you.

 

[Cosmo]

That's the dismissiveness that's so effective i think...

 

[Gord]

The interesting thing is that there are still people falling for it.

Which reminds me, is Roguey a Volourn alt?

 

[Cosmo]

One is calm, the other is screaming, but the modus operandi is similar enough...

Might have been because it was multiplayer
