Something odd about KotOR and bioware praise (spoilers)

The state of insanity.
The droids puzzle was actually one of the more brain using puzzles in the game. You could skip it by simply hacking the droids if you had the amount of spikes needed, but, if you don't mind using your noggin' and have no problem with logic puzzles, you could save the spikes all together. I think that was my favorite puzzle in the game. The only problem I had with it, was once you knew the answers, that was it. Would have been nice if they had changed it from game to game. Wouldn't have been too hard, actually.

Now that you mention it, i've always wondered how difficult it was to have text-based puzzles being random (drawn from a pool of programmed possibilities) from game to game. Also it would be interesting to be asked questions according to what i've done in the past, ie, if i travelled trough a certain place, that i'd be asked about that place's culture.

No not everything has been invented. But definetly has been thought of.

I just don't understand why people would go so far out of their way to "defend" a company or a game, on a site that (apparently) holds an opinion so contrary to their own. Are people so sickeningly fragile and sycophantic that the merest notion of diagreeance sends their world into a tizzy? Didn't this sort of thing happen when the NWN review was posted?

This comment also can be said with those attacking said company.

Attack! Attack!
Oh. wait...
Nah.

Anyway, *everything* has been thought of? Please. Human thought, despite cultural differences, is fairly similar. Theres a lot of possibilities out there that don't occur to anyway simply because ours minds only work a certain way. Toss in a limited perception matrix and we're probably missing 99% of reality. It'd be like someone blind and deaf from birth thinking up new colors and songs.

Your argument is found to be without merit and is hereby labelled:

Useless.

A perception matrix is what made my post and yours possible. But since others have read my original post and labeled it useless in their mind, you just proved my point. Thank you for playing, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

NEXT!

Been thought of != implemented.

OK, I'll use smaller words this time. My point was not everything has been thought of, since we can't perceive everything. And if we can't perceive it, we can't think about it, or its ramifications.
I in no way proved your point
And, in point of fact, perception doesn't make these posts possible. A variety of computer algorithms and tools allow us to post to a message board. Perception simple allows us to read the posts, and feel the keys as we type responses.
