Yeah I mean it's bound to happen where a couple of these EA threads form lightning rods right, like if the title is provocative or whatever. Though this one is sorta gold, just cause the OP really leaned into it and made that first post funny and fun to read. If there's gotta be a thread I suppose might as well be this one haha
Maybe what they should do is make an EA forums tag that displays next to the thread like with the emojis. You can tell from the post dates, but I mean just at a glance might make the forums more useful. Now that it's released we'll start to see some constructive criticism start reframing as art criticism or general criticism which is a little different than during EA so might make sense. I'm just happy I can log onto the boards again lol. Yesterday felt like lightning striking thrice, which did feel good in a way.
Maybe the Black Isle stands out cause they had the catchy-er logo splash loadscreen in BG1? They also hired the portrait painters and did other publisher type things that gave it a vibe I'm sure, they get a few laurels. Obviously I think of the big TSR Dragon first right, then the island with the thunder bolt. Penguin and the spinning B was sorta forgettable by comparison hehe.
I find myself needing to upgrade hardware for this one now, so I'm sure I'll be scarce for a few days to hide from too many spoilers. But from what I've seen this thing's still got legs like two decades on, so fingers crossed! New rig gets here in 8-10 days which I guess is my actual launch date. I'm happpy to see it selling well and creating the buzzworthy buzz. It's going to be like 3 or 4 months before I can form a real opinion again. Meantime have a blast out there!
