Is RPG Codex the only place on the Internet where Larian and Beamdog are hated?

Dark Sun : Shattered Lands & Dark Sun : Wake of the Ravager, Wizardry franchise, FL 1/2, All M&M games before 6(Mandate of Heaven)...

As for EEs, they could be worse. Look to Gothic 1 remake thread to see what a company can do. BG1/2:EE has some problems, but nothing serious. You can just NOT use EE companions like Hexxcat. Many mods which adds cool classes like Shadow Adept/Shadow magic and other cool stuff generally only works for EEs.

What the fuck is FL ???

:stunned:


Why do you have to use difficult acronyms? It might be understandable if the game has been mentioned a few times in your previous post but, no, this is a sudden acronym drop with no context. Imagine if someone randomly mentioned having recently finished a playthrough of MoH, people would probably think that he was playing Medal of Honor.

Baldur's Gate: enhanced edition is 8 years old now. Is it old enough for us to like it yet? Or do we have to wait another 7 years?

How is M&M5 vs M&M6? Deeper and better?
Click to expand...
I think ultimately M&M6 is the more complex game, with more varied enemies and larger dungeons. But personally I don't think the M&M games after 3 hold up pretty well in modern times. They have a simplistic combat system and a weird levelling system with an open world that has been done better by newer games. There are cool things like spells that change your mobility, walk on water, walk on clouds, etc, but ultimately those are just like the ability to turn into snail or monkey in some metroidvania games, and didn't really save M&M's simplistic gameplay.

I think most of us can agree that this place sucks. It's still the best there is though. Also this place doesn't deserve the bad rep it gets. Reddit supports some fucked up shit and no one constantly calls them things like neo-nazi

I just finished IWDEE. It was excellent.

Had Beamdog not released it, I'd likely never have re-played IWD. It's one of my favorite RPGs, so I consider the EE to have been not just worth it but a bonafide treat.

The game ran flawlessly. It never crashed a single time. It looked great. There was no extra content that I had to opt out of. There were a few extra options that could easily be ignored, such as 3E's Crippling Attack shoehorned into IWD's original 2E.

That was introduced with Heart of Winter.

FL = fallout.
Click to expand...

The authoritative abbreviation has always been FO. Thus, FO1 and FO2.

Your butchering of the English language on a daily basis is tolerable, but inventing retarded new abbreviations for Fallout will not stand.

I say we change it to FL. Fuck it, why not? Occasionally changing acronyms will keep the codex on their toes. Please update your blog and I'll update mine

Beamdog deserves the hate.

Larian just can't into item progression and balance.

1) Using abbreviations for Fallout games is blasphemy. Only full name, no less.
2) Using full name in vain is blasphemy. Appropriate way to spell is Fa--out 1 and Fa--out 2.
3) Diabolical abominations, created by godless Bethesda, appropriate the original name and should be called only as Fagouts.

Amen.

Is new vegas a blasphemy in your opinion?
