Made you register and post, though. No, no care at all.
Could've at least try to defend yourself... you've been owned pretty bad.
More of a response to Trekkie, who decided to start flaming Wyrmlord on my forums. As I said, big drama, little care for the shenanigans, all I would like is that it stopped and the cross-site trolling would stop leaking over the pointless spam section into the actual forums, which is now disrupting the tender fiber of order maintained there.
There are valid arguments in here, some good things that I overlooked since I'm not as familiar with the mechanics of the games as many of the fans here are.
The thing is, that review is old, I should rewrite it since it's obviously not very polished and many of my opinions regarding the game have altered, including the quality of the story itself.
I still maintain that it's below average however, and I don't feel a need to defend myself because the review has already been written, if there are things people disagree with, that's fine, but there's not much to argue about regarding my opinion and why exactly I believe what I do, if there are technical inaccuracies, it's simply because I didn't bother mulling over the information in the game all that much. I didn't check the exact values your alignment would shift according to certain actions, I only noticed when it did change and which actions would alter it according to my perceptions.
I think it's only natural that since I didn't like the game, I didn't bother playing it through more than twice - that's already a stretch -, I played a good aligned mage, and an evil aligned fighter, and I considered that enough to be well informed regarding the game and its systems.
One thing I would like to defend myself on however, is the fact that the review was written with a better than average understanding of the game despite that I didn't play it as much as most fans would have, I knew all the characters, played with them all, and I still do believe that Morte is in fact a useless character, his ability as a tank falters once you hit Curst and his damage potential simply isn't high enough. As I said in the review, it's a stark contrast to characters such as Dak'kon or Nordom which remain useful throughout the entire length of the game, possibly being even a bit too powerful.
Other than that, no, nothing I feel that should honestly bother me all that much about the comments in here. People get riled up over their favorite games, it happens, it happens to me with Ultima and Wasteland, Fallout, whatever the hell names you'd want to drop. But I don't need to defend myself against inflammatory comments since I don't mind them in the first place, censorship on the net be lame bro's.
Oh, and Major_Boobage, I am a South African, not a United States born citizen, :D .
Although I guess you didn't feel like reading the part where I praised the story, no, I guess it's easier to look at my residing location instead. Perfectly understandable.
Or maybe I missed the sarcasm, hurr duhr on me.
