The thing you have to remember is that there was dogpile effect after the game got review bombed for (shock, horror) having a character who changed gender. Somehow that ruined some people's childhoods. So there were review-bombs by people who clearly hadn't played the game and then other jumped on the abuse train. It's just fun to get your kicks in when someone is down . . .
Which is sad because some haters ranting at computer screen ruined people's careers.
yeah, a bit depressing since i stand by what I said about SoD being a pretty decent game overall with some standout good parts, so its a shame what happened did - I was never really into the new NPCs (except the goblin one) and some of the story elements are meh, but overall I was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty good: I mean Throne of Bhaal as it was released was a rushed, heavily cut mess, so *shrug*
