Mad respect if you don't pirate other stuff either. I'm not that good of a person. Maybe you don't call what I do stealing but I'd still say piracy is straight up a crime. I think we can both admit that I'm a sort o

No problem. Apologies that it got heated and I hope you aren't leaving because of that. To explain I only raised the temperature because you said what I said was silly and because you mocked me with the whole, "man" thing. Di

The lore for D&D is extremely well done. Better than even a novel. The reason is because the game is all about lore, so the focus was on world building. While for a story the lore is their only to serve the story. If there was some sort

No. Even among the existing fare the best which is Planescape torment and Disco Elysium. Baldurs gate 3 is nearly the top. I think it's better than fallout 1 and 2.

By that logic You should break into a billionaires home and steal their stuff because billionaires already have a ton of money. Let's be real here. It's theft. What is and isn't theft is 100% independent of how rich the perso

You've got to be joking. Pokemon has better writing then planescape torment or "endcap of airport fantasy shelf" writing? This isn't a mistake I'm making. Less writing isn't better writing and more writing isn&

The pulitzer prize is a genre award. Don't rely on that. They conflate genre with good writing in the sense that only books about deep character studies or books about racism and things of that deep nature ever win. PS:T can win a Hugo

There's nothing else like it in terms of quality. Most CRPGs don't have full voice overs and animations for EVERY conversation option. Many don't allow you to just kill every single key character and still maintain narrative

No. Planescape torment is significantly better than a YA novel. This isn't Harry Potter. Torment can win a hugo if it was a book. It's that good. Better than a lot of hugo winners too. I get where you're coming from though. P

I'm not moralizing anything. Calling myself a criminal for stealing is just honesty. Piracy is an especially easy and guiltless crime because it can be done with no one knowing and no chance of getting caught that's why. But almos

It depends on the RPG. Pokemon vs. Disco Elysium. Botw vs. Planescape torment. Rpgs do not universally have good/bad writing. And FPSs like BioShock and soma don't all necessarily have less writing..

I feel in the last decade they've been really good in terms of writing. Shows like game of thrones and the flash are great examples of exemplary writing.

It's a whole spectrum. But almost everyone on the face of the earth has some bias towards their own country. The percentage of impartiality among ethnic minorities born in the US like ABCs have a tendency to be much higher then normal.
