Morii has hit the Codex anal g-spot of rage for all BG fags. Just start quoting Beamdog's dialogue of original characters that hardly (I assume) any Codexian has been exposed to.

Fucking drow lives matter. Watta buncha cunts. OG Viconia would have just told him to fuck off surface scum.

I am actually triggered by reading this stuff. I know I'm playing into 'their' hands by posting this, but I think I would happily crush a certain writer's head in a vice as per this famous scene for what they did to BG:

I actually remember that scene differently. I thought the guy gave up the name and then Joe Pesci got so pissed off he wound the vice the rest of the way.
"Cheese! Cheese! The only thing you can come up with in however many years is calling someone smelly like fucking cheese, you fucking piece of shit! THIS IS THE ONLY LEVEL OF WRITING TALENT YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ICONIC GAME YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER!". And then just wind the vice all the way.

-Looks like I've fallen into the trap the thread has set. Toxic, psychotic white male with violent power fantasies and all that. Well done Morii :argh:

I don't want a New Vegas 2. I want someone who knows what made New Vegas work to make a game that takes those elements and do something different but familiar with them. The problem is that the only studio I trust at the moment to not make a bad RPG is Larian Studios and Fallout is not their style of game.

Sarevok was a dumb villain who left a paper trail a mile long.

Going directly to Baldur's Gate to seek Gorion's killer would have made more sense than following Khalid and Jaheira around Hell's half-acre for no reason.

Dumb vilain, no doubt about it, Irenicus is far worse though and annoying on top of that.

Going straight to Baldur's Gate?
What for?
It's clear Sarevok is way out of your league so sticking with trusted allies makes way more sense, particularly if you want to survive.

Extremely low level D&D is just boring.

Menzoberranzan and Ravenloft : Strahd Possession did right in starting at lv 5. NWN1/2 allowing you to quickly reach mid levels too. But ideally the starting level from all D&D CRPG adaptations should be between 6~8.

Because it's the most likely place you'd find information. By this point you had already single-handedly dealt with two assassins in Candlekeep, soon to be a third at the FAI. Regressing the character into hiding beneath Elf-Mom's skirt felt like a contrivance. I don't disagree with going to Khalid and Jaheira for counsel, but had Gorion lived, the situation would have been the same. K&J would still have their mission and I doubt Gorion ever intended to follow them south. He'd have either persuaded them to put their task on the back-burner or failing that moved on. When he gave you that advice, he had no idea who you were dealing with. K&J were never capable of saving Christmas.

Fallout 4 is an RPG about a white Christian American patriot who defends his conservative family against underground dwelling progressive socialists and therefore the most based entry in the series. God Bless Todd

Because of Gamergate and Donald Trump (which were reactions to SJWs and globohomo), this formerly elitist forum became a populist one, something that might be alright in GD, but a disaster in RPG discussions. Just think about it for a moment, as modern Bethesda games are becoming more and more appealing to the average codexer, and bland garbage like Baldur's Gate, formerly known as the hairbringer of decline, will soon surpass PS:T and Fallout as the best RPG ever (it's already considered a better game than Arcanum among retards).

This is becoming a right-wing reddit, and it sucks.

You're describing particularists, not elitists or populists. There just happens to be a lot of cross-over between the codex and the right. The right tacitly recognizes that society is always ruled by an elite they just want it to be one that exemplifies their own values. That's why they're here. The codex has the highest concentration of "exceptional individuals" and the right, whatever it believes individually, is not trying to change it. The right conserves.

Schizophrenic Delusions
Hello,
Im back. I was known as dannyfx1. All my family is dead. I was on the streets in winter. It was harsh. But, Im better now. The temptation was too strong for me. I want to experience mysterious and exciting life again. And also, Im kind of lonely. Im playing Grimoire right now and couple of other games, like Diablo 2 with MedianXl mod ( the Brother Laz version, which is hardcore ), Fallout 1 ( for the first time yay! ), Wizardry 7 and Darkest Dungeon and Planescape Torment ( EE ), Shadowrun Dragonfall, Shadowrun Hong Kong, Morrowind and Etryan Odyssey on Melon Ds emu. I want to say I have now much better understanding, what makes a game special trough reading Codex and personal experience, so I've grown a much better at understanding game design. Thank you.

Manbabies who collect toys make them more expensive for parents who are buying for their kids (you know, the actual target audience for toys)

Work harder or teach your children money doesn't grow on trees.

I don't collect toys but i kind of regret getting rid of my Reaper from Dungeon Keeper 2 boxed version decades ago, it'd look great on my bookcase.
