Yeah, Obsidian have the most experienced RPG devs around, people who worked for +20 making RPGs, their lead design arrogantly piss on every other system out there, and the reason why PoE sucks is because it uses a new engine... I see now.
Oh, and Codexers are fucking stupid, they can't differentiate content from system. Or maybe Obisidan devs are fuckign stupid, since apparently they designed the system one way, then filled it with content another way! Regardless, Emperor's New Clothes guys, only intelligent people see how cool PoE's system are.
How can you get more apologist than this? Maybe by endlessly white-knighting the game without even playing it. Seriously man, WTF?
I thought Obsidian were whining about how a lot of their staff hadn't made this sort of game before, If that's the case it would explain a lot.
Hilariously, the systems would have been better (and they probably would have saved time) if they just adapted Pathfinder or some open source 3.5 edition rule set.
