[Lancehead]

That Sawyer is okay with this decision.

 

[undecaf]

A glorious victory of the incline.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

FFS even Roguey has nothing annoying to say here

What does that tell you

 

[Hobo Elf]

I will drink the tears of butthurt from my crystal goblet tonight.

 

[MicoSelva]

Good news. Now the game actually has potential to be better than the original.

 

[tindrli]

we won!!

 

[m_s0]

really? holly crap.

:D

well... this is,..

Not yet. They still need to make it decent.

 

[General Maxson]

To be expected (and am happy about it), but still love the smell of butthurt from rtwp retards in the morning. Finally sweet, sweet victory and a situation that WE aren't the ones gnashing teeth and raging.

I think most of u got traumatized by Dragon Age RTwP but my favorite series from the past all had RTwP: NWN series, Icewind Dale, Baldurs Gate. So congrats u freaking nerds now to combat will really be boring as fuck.

How the fuck does anyone get traumatized by Dragon Age, of all things? Sure, it's loaded up the ass with trash mobs, but it's not irredeemably horrendous.
You, on the other hand, have you been traumatized by Age of Decadence's turn-based combat?

Could someone provide the translation from ignorant to English, please?

It's always going to be a great day when genuinely good news coincide with a cause for Schadenfreude.

Apparently, Dragon Age combat is teh hard, NWN, BG, IWD are RtwP, therefore it is teh superior, and TB is teh bore.

 

[VonVentrue]

To say these poll results came as a surprise to me would be an understatement. TB won in a popularity contest in this day and age, what a remarkable achievement.

Apparently, some people are already asking for refunds. Drama ensues.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Reading internet comments has rarely been so funny. Good job, InXile

 

[KazikluBey]

I can't into the skadeglädje, but the plans they seem to have for the TB combat sounds good.

 

[V_K]

Well, looks like it might turn to be interesting after all. Who'd have thought.

 

[NotAGolfer]

Damn, I'm blind.
*double checking if this is the right thread*
Ok, I'll just copypaste what I wrote in the Wastelend 2 thread:

Some of the comments below the update are ... interesting to say the least.
For example I never knew there was a RTwP crowd actually prefering that system over either TB or realtime.

Never witnessed a flame war discussion that wasn't just another round of RTwP apologists vs. TB purists.
In these discussions it always seemed like the RTwP folks were just butthurt because some other autists people said bad things about their favorite game.
I honestly never cared if other people liked BG2 as much as I do, and I don't care if they enjoy the combat (I do, that's enough for me).
But it certainly is frantic and confusing (especially with all those spell triggers and sequencers) as hell and being able to run away from an AoE is my favorite cheese "tactic".
Boggles my mind that there are people who actually prefer that system over TB, especially when the devs emphasize that they don't want to include trash mobs (and even these can be fun in a TB game if the mechanics are fun).

tl;dr
People are dumb.
:patriot:

 

[Echo Mirage]

I'm just waiting for the other 50K backers who never bothered to vote to show up and suddenly realize they cared after all. He who controls the butthurt controls the universe and 6 months to a year from now the butthurt will flow.

 

[Cyberarmy]

I've just the full update both on KS page and the blog. Very well written indeed!

 

[Borelli]

I'm not that antagonistic towards RtwP but still no reason not to join the party.
