The fact that no tag has been awarded yet is indicative of the slipping standards of moderation on this shit forum.

no, rather it's indicative of the fact that the op is someone's alt

probably Infinitron 's since safav hamon sounds hebrew

Explains why (((they))) don't get a tag.

I for one, support the mondblutian ideal of kill monsters and loot treasures in a TB crpg developed by an autistic neckbeard in his basement.

fuck everything else as PST and MoTB quality stuff isn't coming any time soon from the pink haired sjw diversity hires.

Hamon is a common French surname. Safav sounds vaguely Arabic, i.e. French.

Also the fact that no mod has given him a tag,it stinks of corruption.

In all seriousness, verbose dialog and prose sucks in computer RPGs. I don't know how Planescape got away with it, because it's the worst offender of superfluous pretentious writing.

No, it isn't a pleasure to read. The writing in Planescape breaks most of the fundamental rules of establishing good flow. The dialog is exactly as IHaveHugeNick describes as shit - one person wanking themselves with a thesaurus. Every line of dialog is broken up by tedious flowery prose that adds nothing of value. Unsophisticated grognards think Planescape is deep because it appeals to their psuedo-intellectualism. The actual writing is horrible, and you wont find a reputable writer that thinks otherwise.

Planescape had 20 lines of redundant filler for every memorable quote.

Most of those quotes you selected aren't even that interesting either. I could cherrypick lines from Pillars just as good.

I've been calling out Planescape's garbage writing long before Pillars of Eternity. When PoE1 came out, I criticized its writing for trying to imitate Planescape.

The fact is, Planescape writing is overrated trash. It gives the illusion of good writing to someone that has never seen good writing before, and the degree of pseudo-philosophy is repulsive to anyone that's not a faux intellectual themselves.

Can a mod transfer all of my banked brofists to this hero?

I guess if great minds think alike, stupid ones must as well.
