<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> Hi,
You are almost all forgetting one thing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" />. A a game is made to fit many different playing styles. It also has to hold the attention of thousands of people or why bother making it.
Yes, there is alot of fluff. I personally do not understand everything about the different stats and all the different equipment that can be used such as the arrows. The important thing is none of it detracts from my enjoyment of the game. Truthfully, I just ignore the things that I don't understand or that annoy me.
Both game do play as slash and hack, that was the way RPG's have been setup. If they weren't I personally would'nt be buying them. I don't want a game that I have to think very deeply about. I want to build a character that can go in the direction I want it to. I have yet to play any character in the magic realm. It is just too much thinking about spells and stuff and I always manage to get them killed off pretty fast.
The game is going to play out the way it has been programed too. All the rest is not gong to change the story or the way it goes. Much of the so called fluff is used to widen the character, to personalize it for the player.
I would like to see a game that is more streamlined. Again, BD is probably a game being used to try out new things, and actions and to see what people like and dislike. I would love to see a game, someday, that has a great indepth story and multiple lines. That has to be very expensive to do. Hopefully in the future Larian or one of the other companies will do it.
The great thing about this forum is that Larian does pay attention to our opininos, likes and dislikes.
My suggestion is to enjoy what we have and go on from there.
