The funny thing is that by the chosen few issues he came up with, BGII's mechanics were all amazing and only had some very superficial 'problems', even for the modern audience. So, yeah, its an obvious troll.
He could have started from the top, right from character creation.
I know, Poe's law. :negative:

Google, google, clicky clicky clicky.
What do we have here?
Let us also not forget how outright shitty many of BG II's mechanics were by modern standards. Just to name a few:

Randomized character creation. Yes, let's make the very first thing you do in the game a choice between repeatedly and tediously clicking a button and adding up the results, and lower permanent statistics.
The percentage die tacked onto 18 Strength, which manages to be both random and arbitrary.
THAC0. Gratuitously unintuitive.
ALL THE TABLES. What is this, MySQL Simulator?
Does this peasant even heard about 2nd edition?
To be fair, those are all reasons why no one plays 2e anymore.

Jesus Christ, that shit always manages fuck with my bloodpressure.

One would think that after all this time it's been around, you could just shrug it off... But flesh is weak and frail...

That's one of the things I hate most about bronies: it's not enough just to like a show for little girls, they have to contaminate every other fucking thing with it.

There's a small family business in my country called XCOM. They mostly do technical support stuff. When the reboot was launched, 2k contacted this family, asking them to change the business' name, but they told them to fuck off and, to this day, this small business is still called XCOM :lol:

I've heard of a similar case from Iceland. Can't remember all the details, but IIRC two brothers were members in a local band in the late 90s which caught a small break and were booked on a small tour in the US. Just before the tour starts, the band is hit by a Cease & Desist order. Reason? Their last names, fully-legal Icelandic last names, were violating copyright. Their father's name? Hans. Their last names? Hanson.

Naturally they refused to change their names, so they never played in the US.

How the fuck can a name even violate copyright :retarded:

Holy shit, the USA are so retarded about copyright issues. I should move there and found a company called Miller-Smith's Industries, and I shall make a living by suing everyone names Miller or Smith because MUH COPYRIGHT

In some european countries, Led Zeppelin had to perform under an alternative name because the von Zeppelin family threatened to sue them.

Ubisoft opened a survey https://ubisoft.fluidsurveys.com/surveys/ph/acs-opinion-crm/

This is centered around the AssCreed series. A few points to consider: when they ask you about your favorite games, Witcher 2 is included in the options. As you remember, Witcher 2 has an easter egg which mocks AssCreed. You could choose many options in this list, but if you pick Witcher 2, the others get locked.

Also, when you're asked about which games are you looking forward to, they include the new TES, which they call "Skyrim 2".

And they ask you if you get your info from specialist gaming sites, like kotaku.

Still, you get to say Ubisoft their products suck, so if you're extremely bored, give it a shot.

Funny...I gave it shot..guess I was bored enough. Picked Witcher 2 and you're right! lulz

Its like the kids that saw the star wars prequels not being able to enjoy the original trilogy, or people first saw the LotR films then couldnt be bothered to read the books.

This was in the recommended videos when listening to Mark Morgan - Vault Archives [Fallout music]

Check the comments for more fun. I especially enjoyed that the gameplay he shows during the video is a guy looking through a store.

It seems, in general, that many are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't see why. The moron defines a graphical glitch as storytelling.
