You live in Canada I take it, right? Do you know about France? I bet you do.I do in fact know about France. If I walked into a few dozen houses around me and picked one book out of every bookcase, though, I may not find anything related to France. If BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan were under attack from the Northwest Territories and on the verge of going to war with each other, I don't know how often France would come up in conversation.
Even if a sequel is planned out in great detail, the first game can never foreshadow everything that is included 8 years later. Plenty of game series have added additional lands with lots of history that was never mentioned in the earlier games.
as we know from D2 geographical info - Broken Valley/Orobas Fjords not so far from Aleroth and Rivertown places. There are zeppelins flying in-between those lands.Well, there are at least zeppelins flying back and forth 70+ years after DD took place. Before the war with Damian and the Black Ring, Rivertown was not necessarily as significant; Aleroth definitely wasn't.
The war also reshaped the land physically, with magic flattening mountains, etc, and even during BD the farmlands in Ferol were being taken over by swamp. The trade routes (for goods and information) during D2:ED are not all going to be the same as they were in DD.
What you just said it is not even your usual suggestions, it is... sorry, but that's utterly stupid. Really.There are plenty of books, movies, games, etc that are set in a specific location, and do not include information about the world outside of there, or discuss knowledge each character would reasonably have that was not related to the situation they were in.
So, I must pick-up similar small country... lesse... "Republika ng Pilipinas" aka Philippines? So, are you trying to tell they know nothing about France or Canada, no mentions about other part of the world, about other races or their work (art, music)?Of course they know about other parts of the world, but it is not necessarily going to come up in day to day conversations, and many books, legends, etc there will focus on that particular region, their history and culture.
Your point, as I understand it, is that because D2:ED introduced significant history not mentioned in DD/BD, it is effectively in a different game world. My point is that there are many stories (both historical and fictional) about specific regions and events, which do not mention other regions (even if they are nearby) or other events (even if they are important).
Right now if I flew to the Philippines, I'm sure I could find information about Canada, and possibly other Canadian travelers. If I stayed away from tourist areas, though, and there was some significant local event going on, I'm also sure I could do a fair bit of exploring and talking without finding any references at all to Canada (assuming I blended in, so there wasn't an obvious reason for people there to bring it up).
If someone came to my house, I don't know if they could find any evidence of the existence of the Philippines. I have a world atlas (somewhere) as well as an old set of encyclopedias and a couple odd travel books, but casual browsing of books and drawings around here wouldn't necessarily turn up anything. I don't know the last time the Philippines came up in conversation, so even if a house guest stayed here for awhile, they may not learn anything about it.
I told you already, I haven't used any personal insults against you.I didn't say you planned or intended to insult me. You did use words that are generally insults, though (liar and hypocrite) unless they are backed up by proof, and personal terms (fanboi, troll) that are often used to dismiss a person rather than deal with the details of their argument (so they can be used as insults).
It is fun, actually, that you accept the bad state of my english but not not accept the after-effects/consequences of that.Actually, I think a significant part of the problem was that your English is good enough that at first I wasn't allowing as much as I should have for possible inaccuracies.
Are we again return back to hipocristy?In order to return I would have had to been there in the first place.
This is not a big deal, but you have been using that work incorrectly. Hypocrisy means taking a public position on something, but acting differently in private. A double standard is not hypocrisy (though obviously hypocrites have double standards), and neither is a lie (hypocrites are inherently dishonest, but a liar is not necessarily a hypocrite).
A conservative politician who campaigns on family values and has an affair is a hypocrite and a liar. A politician who has an affair but has never promoted family values or condemned anyone who had an affair is a liar, but not a hypocrite.
A actress who is active in liberal causes (like universal daycare) but guilty of tax evasion is a hypocrite. Someone who is not promoting a government program (creation or expansion) or trying to increase the scope of government, requiring everyone else to pay their taxes in order to fund, can evade taxes and not be a hypocrite.
Actually, come to think of it... Hm, interesting, I pointed on this discrepancy in your words within few posts of mine on previous page but you did give a suitable explanation only in your previos post, until that you were trying to avoid my point.There was no discrepancy.
I did not try to avoid your point, and asked you several time for clarification of what your point was. You didn't clarify what you meant, presumably because you thought you were being as clear as I thought I was being.
While you may have only found the last explanation 'suitable', I did restate that point several times trying to make myself clearer. It was only after I couldn't see how anyone (at least a native English speaker) could not understand the logic that I considered and brought up language as a possible problem, and then after you replied, gave an example and added dates to my restating of the 'during' and 'after game' quest analysis statements.
Why is that so? May be I was right?Nope, still wrong.
...on that particular issue, anyway.
