No Dragon Age? No Mass Effect? No Skyrim (probably because everyone here dumped hundreds of hours into it)? No Fallout 3?
BTW. IWD1 and IWD2 could be merged, not that many people played IWD2 anyway.

Even if there was a large following of people that LOVE those games.. They wouldn't dare admit it after ME3 and DA:I. :lol:
Also.. Fallout 3? Really?

I think PoE should be on there.. Sure it's a shit game and we all know that deep down.. but it also has like 200 fucking reviews, shillitron's stamp of approval on the curator page (that people are now quoting as the voice of the dex) and a list of fanboys who still defend it to the death (check the list of people who have me on ignore)

BG1 and BG2 have become EXTREMELY™ overrated on the Codex these last few years. At best they're nothing more than guilty pleasures.

I blame Sensuki

You can thank PoE for that.. It showed us how badly you can fuck up isometric RTwP..
The law of comparisons.

I'm moreso responsible for BG1 I think. The BG2 fans were always here.

BGs/IWDs = bellissimo

DA:O = spam every ability as soon as it comes off cooldown unless you're a Rogue - then you just auto attack.

PE = follow a rote sequence of actions every encounter, paying no mind to enemy actions ... other than perhaps movement.

As an invention, the wheel is overrated. I mean, they were shitty stone-age wheels, nowadays tires are much better. Cavemen were really stupid to build wooden and stone things, weren't they.

Also the fire was greatly overrated. Why the fuck didn't they invent a microwave oven if they wanted to cook, and an M-16 for hunting?

Not to mention the huge flaws those things had. I mean, they were barely usable. Wheeled things can roll down the hill and crash, and fire can burn things.

Old things suck badly. Now everything is much better, right?

How are all those games overrated? At least everyone on the Codex thinks that some, most or all of those are shit.

Even though I find M&M series overated, Codex seemed to praise them as how every RPG should be.
