My impression is that when a thread is moved to another forum because it might seem 'negative'.. my impressions of the game go down considerably. I was waffling about getting this game, now I doubt I will. I have *never* had a thread moved on a board, or deleted.
I started the "Change skill points, I'll buy this game!" thread. I was asking about skill points, and then it evolved into a discussion about different ways the skill points could be done to make specializing an easier (and more fun) thing to do.
Seems the mods want to keep prospective buyers of this game seeing only nice shiny happy posts about this game. And that irritates me to no end. Sweep the problems under a rug will ya?
The possibility of buying this game went from "waffling" to "not likely!"
I'll be sure to spread the joy, to.
Pity, 'cause I loved Div Div so!

As you can clearly see for yourself, Flea, the BD and DD forums are huge. Not only does Larian cater to English speaking people but also German, French, etc. Almost every message/post becomes automatically buried amongst the flotsom and jetsom of consumer criticism. What started out for you as a simple inquiry, turned into something else. I highly doubt you or your post was singled out and viewed as a perspective "threat" of uncovering some vast conspiracy Larian is trying to cover up regarding their game. LOL I mean, give me a break!
So, you're not going to buy the game. That's cool. I've always shot off my other foot after shooting the first one. And I throw the baby out with the bath water. Why? It's reasonable, of course! Pullease! Cut the hystrionics and drama. Save it for when you do buy the game because you're going to need it then. And, should you decide not to buy the game, then the only person who really suffers is you (or maybe not suffer, but you certainly miss out on one fun experience!).
I think the Larian crew is trying to dance as fast as they can, even when the music has lost its tone. I pre-ordered BD and I always live and stand by my choices, even when they do not meet my original expectations. That's not to say that BD didn't meet my expectations - it has surpassed them. I am having just as much fun if not more playing BD than DD. It's much more challenging. I'm certainly not zipping through the game and all of its quests like I did in DD. I have been playing it for a week or so now. Restarted probably 4 times but that's my "M.O." with any RPG like this. (Morrowind took me at least 10 starts before I made it through the storyline). I still don't have a summoning doll! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> Maybe today!?! But more to the point, with all of the patches that have been released, the bugs in the game (which on my computer are due to the way *I* have things set up), wading through the complaints on this forum, I absolutely enjoy Larian's product. I support them and will continue to do so.
Simply because your post was moved to the Technical Forum does not mean Larian has some huge ulterior motive to 'scam' its consumers.
