Why not try to argue my points in a cohesive manner and explain to me how fixed spell lists improve the narrative, immersive, and tactical gameplay experience.


I'm not saying you don't make some valid points here and elsewhere, but it's not very pleasant to try and argue them when you immediately jump to judgments of character. You've called people selfish, rigid thinkers, power gamers, said they've wanted everything on a silver platter, mistook the intensity of their arguments, said they want to disrupt the intent of the game, hate dynamism, and so on for expressing what are really perfectly reasonable and mild opinions.

The fact is that probably everyone here is an established gamer, a good portion of us have played a variety of the classics, and we've learned what we do and don't like in our video games. And we've come here to discuss what we would like to see changed in D:OS partly because we've every right to and partly because Larian has *asked* us to. That doesn't make any of us selfish or inflexible any more than it makes you selfish and inflexible for wanting something different than us. We're all paying for this game and it's therefore entirely reasonable of us to want it to cater to our individual desires while acknowledging and accepting necessary compromise.

So please, dial it back a bit. You have a valid and valuable perspective to add to this discourse and there's no reason it needs to be marred and ignored due to hostile accusations and unnecessary attacks of character.
