The fact of the matter is that someone has probably done it before.
Some things have just been done to death more times than others And that's when you add a few plot twists to make things slightly more original.

Anyway, I believe that people can have their own opinions, but expressing them in an inflamatory way, in a place SPECIFICALLY DEVOTED to the particular thing is stupid and a waste. Why are you telling us that you don't like BG II? This is a BG II forum. (in case you hadn't noticed) and (I speak for myself here, but I think others would agree) I don't believe it is a prudent (or polite) thing to do to mouth off about BG II, as the people here LIKE it. It's as pointless as going to a cat forum and declaring that you hate cats. All it does is provoke annoyance.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Kronostia, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he (Kronostia) visited the NWN forum, saw the thread that Megabot posted about NWN that turned into a long debate, and thought it might be interesting to bring the same kind of controversy and discussion here. Am I right? [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] I am happy to apologize to you if you are innocent, Kronostia - the timing and tone of your post just seemed too coincidental, that's all. I can put two and two together fairly easily.

The problem with that technique, Kronostia, is that NWN is still relatively new to a lot of people - opinions are still divided as to how people are finding it. The BG series, on the other hand, have been proven to be popular over a period of over three years. There is already a huge user base for Infinity Engine games. Also, it's been such a long time since the game's been released that it's obvious that posts like this are just fishing for responses - like a dog still searching for a bone three years later.

For the record, I've seen about a dozen posts like this in the year and a half that I've been moderating here and most have been fairly civil - people can post their opinions of the game, positive or negative, as long as they a) back it up; and b) refrain from personal abuse. Don't let your passions for the game overwhelm your respect for others. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thank god for moderators! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Thanks for keeping this arguement (it can't be called a debate, a debate would mean kronastia was putting forward clear points instaed of just saying "BG 2 is crap! again and again) relatively cool, Memnoch.
All together now...Hip hip hooray! (x3)

Kronostia, I have put up with your flame-baiting long enough. Memnoch has been MORE than tolerant with you, and now you turn on him, a moderator. It is YOU who need to apologize to him and to everyone else here.

Here are just a few examples of the nastiness you have thrown out in this thread:

And all of you poor people being addicted to it...i pity you all !

...got damn religious fanatic...

nag nag nag....trying to say FF isnt role play ? c`mon in whic world were u born ?


Personally, I'm surprised that Memnoch has allowed this to continue as far as it has. If you don't like the BG games; fine, don't play them. But coming on here, insulting people for their choice of game, and then finally disparaging a mod is NOT a very intelligent thing to do.

Since Memnoch tolerated the thread, I've allowed it to continue. But it's about time this little piece of spew came to the ignominous end it so richly deserves.
