Trigger the codex with a statement.

[Arbiter]

What game in this legendary RPG series was made a decade after its predecessors? By a completely new group of developers? With a dubious move from 2D to 3D? And introduced level scaling? And is the normie's favourite entry in the series?

That's right! Wizardry 8!

W8 uses the same first person perspective, this is like saying that WarCraft 3 or StarCraft 2 made a dubious move from 2D to 3D.

Codex is gay

Thanks to the Codex chasing away Lilura, the only female poster on this site, we now have these endless debates on which is better of BG1 or BG2, instead of someone who can give us an authoritative answer.

In time you fools will come to understand the glory that is BG: SoD.

Everytime I think maybe I'll try it I remember that I would have to buy BG: EE to try it. No thank you.

Despite an inexplicable fondness for Infinity Engine games, Lilura has more prestigious taste in RPGs than the large majority of Codexers:

There is no way in the world any SSI Goldbox game is superior to BioWare's Baldur's Gate.

I think the humor in Larian's divinity games is actually funny.

 

[Insect Hordes]

Big box PC games were better.

 

[Modron]

Not always, I still got the Warcraft 3 Collector's Edition big box around here somewhere nicest thing in it was a separate disc of the movies and the soundtrack.

The Temple of Trials wasn't long enough.

Games being balanced is not a bad thing.

Fallout 5 should return to the roots and have a Temple of Trial map.

what a half-hearted attempt. you should quote Tim Cain on actively balancing single player games post-release for optimal triggering

 

[mediocrepoet]

Only Bethesda has the budget and vision to deliver true RPGs.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

It's strange. I agree to almost all the posts in this thread.

Turn-based combat is for people who like to have their gameplay interrupted with cutscenes all the time.

why would that trigger anyone? he's obviously right

Wrrrrrrrrrrong!
On a personal part, you are a Codexer. BY DEFINITION we codexers like unbalanced, flawed things. Any games we revered generally is unbalanced and flawed as heck. Anything that is nearly balanced or all-round good, generally is a Codex niche, like Gothic or something. Not many Codexers like such things.

On a specific part, any game that changed toward balanced things is unfun. Take Tale of Two Wasteland total conversion project for Fallout New Vegas/Fallout 3
++ In version 3.2.2 it's quite unbalanced, because the modders had NOT managed a balance thing between item price of FNV and F3, so the price scheme is quite unbalance. General items has FNV price scheme, while quest using F3 price scheme (like 200 caps to invest traders). So the unbalance thing while being a bit annoying, but quite fun. You can fix the annoyment with some barter mod.
++ In version 3.3+ they complete the price scheme adjustment so all items (both FNV and F3) follow F3 price scheme... it's quite balanced and can prevent cap inflation. OTOH it's boring as fuck~
