I recently read the forum rules in the site feedback forum. How is it that Irenaeus gets away with spamming the same message over and over again in so many seperate threads.

[intelligence] Ah, so he fights the good fight with his voice, eh?

I didn't play Pillars of Eternity much more than 10 hours myself. It doesn't take much longer than that to realize that Pillars of Eternity is garbage that isn't worth playing. The most fun I had with PoE was clicking on uninstall.


For something that's not worth your time, you sure seem to spend a lot of it trying to explain to people who had fun with the game that they are wrong.

He is the biggest spam poster on parts of the 'dex I visit. He is clogging the forums with his not quite literate "its good because reasons" rhetoric over and over again everyplace I go.

Yeah i know. But you cant stop him.
And besides, codex is full of similar outbursts all the time.

The forum for extremely emotionally engaged.

I kinda give Irenaeus a free pass since he usually makes me laugh with his understated ironic and sarcastic posts in this sea of shit and stupidity.


Also, forum rules work only when the staff agrees its to their private advantage. Otherwise its all null and void garbage.

I wish there was a way to literally hammer into such fucking skulls that enjoying the game is not fucking equal to - actually good quality game.

Are you sure you dont mean incredible powerful stimulants...? A force of nature like Irenaeus couldn't possible be on sedating medications otherwise I'd love to see what happens if someone switched him to something stimulating rather than sedating.

What Obsidian has done is create a CRPG that does indeed feel like those old games, yet without being shackled to them; it's nostalgic without resurrecting clumsy systems and obfuscated mechanics.

While Pillars of Eternity certainly hasn’t been simplified, what has changed is how it is all communicated: The combat makes more immediate sense.

Might affecting firearms and Slicken affecting ghosts.

"If a bunch of people really don’t like a system it doesn’t necessarily mean we should change it."

No shit.

My experience with the game


First hours – the honeymoon phase

Hmm... the backgrounds are so beautiful. That Haedric’s Hold was cool. Those critics on the Codex must be just Sawyer’s hateboys.


Act 2 – reality hits, but I'm still in denial

Ok, the combat is becoming repetitive, the Stronghold sucks, the C&C is not what I hoped, but the writing is still god, the companions are good.


Act 3 & 4 – finding the strength to finish in other games

I have to finish this fucking game. I killed that adra dragon and took every bounty. There is no challenge anymore. This copious superficial writing and endless loading screens are killing me. Those haters were right! I’m gonna play Underrail and finish this later.

I finished the game days later, but I don’t think I’m gonna play it ever again.

Up to Act 3, which is as far as I am into the game, this is exactly my experience too.


nitpicking little shit like Sensuki

Hahah you keep tagging me to insult me. Must be pretty butthurt.
What I also find hilarious is that he is apparently basking in the imaginary authority that should come from having registered two years ago, as opposed to "newfags" :lol:

Well, he's got a Fanboy tag. Other than that, you can't really fault a guy for talking about RPGs on an RPG forum. I would suggest ignoring him.

That authority is not imaginary. Irenaeus has the seniority advantage so you better listen to what he has to say.

What the newfags don't understand is that Irenaeus has access to GD for 2 years now. That way comes enlightment.

This completely sums up my experience..

This forum would be so much better if we banned any IP coming from Brazil.

The PoE threads wouldn't even be half as entertaining if Irenaeus were to be banned. I don't share his love for shit, but you can't blame him for being enthusiastic and stating his opinion.

Well, he's got a Fanboy tag.
I'm surprised he doesn't have a custom Sawyer tag yet TBH.

He doesn't give a lick about Sawyer. He's just trolling the people that don't like the game. Not doing a very good job of it either.

He's said many times during the PoE roxor review thread that he now has converted to sawyerism. :P

I just ignored every single criticism people made about the game I liked to not poison mah precious feelings and I like it isn't because I have ridiculous low tastes but because they have too much high tastes... What? An Obsidian game that isn't annoying and boring to play and has a decent story with decent companions? What? A game where there is some interesting choices involving killing or not companions, turning your companions on jedis or siths, repressing or indulging on a curse, having an entire spionage game that is a web of choice and consequence? Wot? A game like every other good Obsidian RPG? That is preposterous! They must be grogs that want the perfect game and are just haters because they personaly hate Sawyer since he was born.
Now after fixing what you said, you make more sense.

You conditioned yourself to hate PoE long before you ever played it though
So you're saying that one can allegedly brainwash or condition himself to hate an RPG with years of training independent of the game being great or not.

The butthurt and absurdity of the Obsidian apologists is reaching alarming levels ITT.
Yep, I'm worried of Sawyer starting a cult, going to Venezuela and saying the only way of salvation is mass suicide.

I haven't ignored or disregarded a single criticism of the game. Mah feelings aren't precious, but your stupidity certainly is.

My main issue is with the idiotic attitude of "PoE is undeniably 100% trash." I think the review that Roxor wrote is retarded. If he wants to conclude with "don't play the game" because he doesn't like it, fine. However, the review was simply one potential flaw after another blown way out of proportion. That's all the review was. The game has strengths and weaknesses. If you can't see that then you've completely lost all perspective. The review that you all seem to love so much was just listing all the perceived weaknesses and bitching endlessly about them; leaving aside the outright errors. Any reasonable review will reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the game, not just one or the other, whether or not the reviewer ultimately recommends it or not. I don't give a shit about Sawyer, but yes I think it's pretty clear that there are plenty of people here who have been fixated on him to an unhealthy degree and that obviously affects their opinions. I don't dislike "grogs" and never said anything to that effect. I don't think that the game is boring to play, and I do think the story and companions are interesting, get over it.

You're incapable of making sense, you can't be fixed.
