Yeah, picking different choices than yours in a game which has a lot of branching paths is clearly ineptitude.
Of course not. I was talking about picking an option and not realizing where it would lead when that was clearly obvious.

I'm sorry, maybe in a game with CHOICES you should be able to decide to kill someone regardless of what he thinks about you.
As I said before, you do choose to not kill him by constantly picking the CHOICES that don't lead to you killing him.

So you open with a jab against me but it's totally not about me. Got it.
The jab was a light-hearted aside between parentheses. And that made you think I was talking about you in every single point I made? Jesus.

Except I never did that.
FFS I'm getting a little tired of repeating myself, but if you had picked any one of the options that both me Andy have alread specified you would have killed him. You avoided these options, thereby choosing not to kill him.

Really the gist of the argument seems to be about this: you think the choices don't make the consequence obvious, I think they do, Andy thinks they do but would've preferred an extra choice at the very end. Once again the horse is the voice of reason and balance.

Oh, you still haven't explained this little gem
I'll pull a Dicksmoker on this one: "Yes I did in that other thread, learn to read." :smug:

Yeah, and all of these are arbitrary and don't follow logically. And yet somehow I'm supposed to be at fault for not making these choices that require meta knowledge of the game, instead of the game developers rightfully being blamed for poor design.

Give me a break. I'm the only one who's complained about the Marburg thing. Jimbob admitted he hasn't played the game. So who else would you be talking about?

Except I never did that.

:retarded:

I'm tired of trying to explain this to you. I've already detailed the choices (and lack of) I received during the game (including the conversation with Marburg). Either you aren't paying attention or don't believe me. In either case that makes you not worth my time.

Really the gist of the argument seems to be about this: you think the choices don't make the consequence obvious, I think they do, Andy thinks they do but would've preferred an extra choice at the very end. Once again the horse is the voice of reason and balance.
And here's the zinger: you think a certain choice should be omitted entirely at the end because apparently the game (and you) know what I want to do better than I do based on arbitrary decisions made earlier in the game.

Dickie, give us a step-by-step (somewhat) walkthrough on exactly what you're doing. We're not leaving this thread until you kill Marburg and/or get that youtube bbcode right.

I'd say the Codex consensus is pretty much a 5/10. Taking into account all those who enjoyed it despite its flaws.
