So my opinion that the ruleset, thematic elements, and setting, are much more main and centre in the series... Is somehow less valid than your opinion that everything is about this one set of combat mechanics and literally nothing else matters?
You asserted something as fact when it was arbitrary (and likely disingenuously made) opinion. Don't try to twist this into something about not respecting other opinions. It's a case of you falsely presenting your supposed opinion as if fact.
(Because, this is not a strawman from me, you have literally said that BG3 is nothing like the previous one despite sharing all of those elements and only really having that one difference that we know about so far, so not only are you now contradicting yourself by saying the game is a sum of all it's parts, you're actively saying the opposite at every opportunity.)
I have not listed all the differences and similarities between the original Baldur's Gate series and this Larian "BG3" game. I have not claimed that you made a strawman argument about this. And I have not contradicted myself by saying that a game is the sum of all its parts and also that RTwP combat is a key characteristic of the Baldur's Gate series - both statements are simultaneously true. Either you're being incredibly dishonest with me and everybody reading this, or else you sorely need to work on your English comprehension and possible logic skills.
And, that argument is not relevant to any of the points WE'RE making in THIS thread, so bringing it up and debunking it is still a strawman in the context of THIS argument.
With that comment, just like with the one where you spammed something because you weren't immediately getting the attention you craved, "you're being an obsessive, entitled prat. Chill out or piss off." I am not obligated to exclusively discuss whatever singular idea you are currently trying to discuss in this thread, and my comment about the respective sales of DA:O and D:OS2 and the speculative popularity of RTwP and TB systems based on them was not made towards you. So, why are you fussing about a comment that didn't involve you? You are trying to be a post nazi again.
Look, you're being an obsessive, entitled prat. Chill out or piss off. The devs don't have to make "Literally just baldur's gate 2 again but with modern gen graphics", they were given creative freedom from WotC and at every turn as far as I can tell they're taking the responsibility of that role seriously.
Wrong again - you are outright lying now. Before I ever made any comment towards you, you were rude towards me and flame-baited. Here's a reminder for you:
What's important is doing a good job with what a game is. And a Baldur's Gate series game should be an RTwP game, as well as a game that respects and honours the other characteristics of the Baldur's Gate experience. Larian should be doing that and shouldn't be making D:OS 2.5 with the Baldur's Gate license.
That... Doesn't make sense when you think about it for more than five seconds.
...
So, to turn your point from the middle of your wall of text back on you, there is no inherent advantage to Turn Based or Real Time with Pause, what matters is how well you use them.
You have behaved like an extremely immature infant from the start. And from there, you started spamming the same post in the forums because you couldn't tolerate that I was taking the time to respond to somebody else and not making you (who didn't post before the other person) my priority. Here's a reminder for you about that, as well:
Reposting this because you seem keen to avoid my arguents, perhaps because you can't actually respond to them.
I had not treated you in any bad way before you did those things.
So, you are hereby caught outright lying about other people to try to cover your own butt. And in doing so, you prove yourself to be a hypocrite. I do not say those things as pejorative, but as the literal truth. As I said, you have behaved immaturely from the start. And you are continuing to do so in a most pathetic manner.
You are projecting after having made a series of baseless and poor arguments that have been discredited. If you don't like having your arguments rebuked, then make better ones. Making poor ones and then crying foul when they are discredited only makes you appear weaker.
Shall we review your ever-increasing long list of failed arguments?
Point taken, which is why my comment was aimed at everyone. Don't take it personally, but move on if someone's being snarky. Life's too short.
Elvenoob's comment to you is an outright lie, an attempt to cover their trolling and chaos-stirring in this thread. They're manipulatively trying to play you, just as they have repeatedly tried to pull one over on me in the discussion.
