Who's Nigro?

An idiot.

 

[Grimlorn]

I don't know but he's give me a ton of likes. Figured he was from the codex.

1.6 million hit!

Macs are in.

Bros, I don't know what's happening in there, but judging from amount of butthurt on the Border House - keep up the good work.

Yeah, that was strange. Reading their comments section I had the impression Obsidian redirected them to /gd/

What thread is about the Border House? I don't see it.

Just looked at Project Eternity. I’ve never played an old-school CRPG before(never owned a PC), so I wouldn’t mind trying it out when they are able to fund it for the MAC. The forums though, creepy stuff. I didn’t see the worst of it, but there was a lot of whining about LGBT inclusion, and fond nostalgia of Imoen being tortured by Irenicus in Baldur’s Gate 2 (no idea if that’s what happened, never played it). And of course the whole “it must be grimdark, man, grimdark! or else it’ll suuck”. I hope this current fad for dark fantasy dies in the near future. Why can’t I play something that actually feels like escapism for once?

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Not sure if incline

 

[Lagole Gon]

Yup. DA3 comment section.

And I must admit, I'm kind of nostalgic about Imoen BDSM.

Don't let crybabies vote away weapon effects and resistances: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/60300-my-weapon-does-nothing/

i like the idea of certain rare monsters being immune to some types of damage. but those immunities should be well known in advance to all characters.

"there is a vampire lurking somewhere near our town, it has been kidnapping villagers for weeks, please slay it. dont forget to take holy weapons with you or you won't be able to harm it."

"there is a vampire lurking somewhere near our town, it has been kidnapping villagers for weeks, please slay it. so far none of our weapons were able to harm it."

Let's trust in player's intelligence at least a bit.

What is it with nerds and skeevy gender politics, and rape-tastic storylines in RPGs and speculative fiction? Is it some sort of fucked up idea of a safe haven from all those Ebil Feminists, and the P.C. police telling them its not OK to be creepy hateful arseholes?

Rape-tastic is not a real word...but it should be.

brb, contacting Oxford

[TwinkieGorilla]

TwinkieGorilla you should use that avy at OEI forums

Bah. Changed it and it looks like shit over there. Damn tiny image restrictions.

It's so sad that lgbt people have self-esteem so low they feel it necessary to request inclusion when it's already a given considering New Vegas and the views of the project director.

You keep yelling Sawyer.

 

[Grimlorn]

Can you keep those gay and romance threads gone now that they are locked?

 

[Mangoose]

What lame gender stuff does Obsidian do? Lol.

Shame the codex is too seduced by buzzwords at the moment.

DS3 had some shitty male gazey clothing/armor options for women, that's the most recent.

 

[Spectacle]

Why don't they just make a genderless RPG? Couldn't that work? Could even implement a stereotypical male "race" and a stereotypical female "race" for lulz. Seriously, why doesn't anyone just remove the entire gender thing from a fantasy universe?

They should make an RPG where all characters are genderless robots. Then they could also use voice synthesis for the dialogue and have a fully voiced RPG without paying for a single actor.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

Instead of removing gender, combine genders.

 

[Gerrard]

I see what they did there with the player house and I approve of parting stupid people with their money, but it doesn't seem to work as well as I had hoped.

This is surprising how? The thing has more fan art than mass effect.
