I always say: if you don't know of what you are talking about then simply shut up.
By all means, take your own advice, dude. Meanwhile, the rest of us will carry on a discussion about how it works instead of trying to act like an elitist know-it-all.

A) They were the 4 and 5 most endorsed mods at the time (apart two nude mods and Advanced Tactics). Either Georg endorsed BA in his site at the time.
I cleary stated "at the time" so as to say they are not more existent. Does this change in anyway that I perfectly know how removing FF in DA works?
C) I pulled back them myself because somebody started to copy them.
D) I was banned just because I didn't shut up and did let go the thing. Strange case, however, shortly after the politics on copyright and copies of other mods on Nexus radically changed.
So, a, you basically were competing against really crappy first release mods and hold that as a merit, just because, you know how the FF in DA:O works, but not necessarily the FF in DA2, you act like a big baby and delete everything when someone starts to use your stuff online that you made for free for others to use and you got banned because you threw a tantrum over free ****.
Radical! Also, inflated sense of self, thinking you caused a change in the politics on copyright on the Nexus.

I don't know who gave you that informations or if it was you that made a little research and you thought you already understood everything, but in the first case I suggest you to change informers next time, and in the second to dig the issues a little more before talking of things you obviously know little about.
Grow the **** up and explain the situation without acting like a baby.

I understand that for some people saying "you are wrong" it's worser than an insult, but fact is, if one is wrong one is wrong, and, in this case, he was wrong as I proved much too clearly.
Then if you are going to use latin next time at last know (again) how to use it. Ad hominem is used as a rethoric strategy, to mean an attack without confronting the argumentations exposed, a thing I've cleary done. So your use of the term is wrong (yet again).
Yet you never countered my previous argument that you don't know JACK **** about DA2's toolset or script system, since it has not been published yet, which is what this topic is about, not DA:O's scripting and toolset.
No, it really isn't, since you first confront the argument and then throw in an ad hominem with an added strawman. You assume the entire argument was about Dragon Age: Origins when we're talking about Dragon Age 2, and the methods for how to approach the problem has been reported in the past to be DIFFERENT from eachother.

I've presented them in a reasonable fashion and actually it was not ME that attacked personally, if you did read well. If you are going to preach a sermon at last do so to the right target or objectively to the issue at hand instead of trying to justify some personal motive (that you clearly have) with masked fraternity for the human gender.
I would like to point out that you were the one who started with the whole "a serious modder" business, which is technically an attack on every modder on these boards that you don't care about.

As for balance, since as you said it works both ways you naturally have to consider both and not only one, isn't it? Seems to me that the one that want to unbalance the thing is not me. And for now the 3rd time removing FF has nothing to do in itself on making a game easier if the gameplay is made for the changed context. The problem of a mod that enable it indipendently is just this: it changes the context without adapting the gameplay. A thing DA2 doesn't do. In fact FF is tied to difficulty in the game.
I don't think you understand what people are arguing about at all anymore. But when your head is so far up your own arse, I kinda expect it to be rather difficult.

Never wanted someone to believe my word
for what it is. Then it's unnecessary. It's easily provable by yourself
if what I say it is true, simply looking in the toolset. Look in a spell
as Fireball and you will see that there's a variable coming from core.h
that defines which targets are selected in the area. If you change that
from "only enemies" to "all in the area" (don't remeber the right
terms, it's a bit of time I don't use the toolset) you will enable FF. A
very easy thing to do.
Are you kidding me? That's exactly
what you are asking us to do. You're asking us to believe you that DA2
will have a similar scripting structure to DA:O when a developer has, in
the past, stated that it does NOT.
Also that you totally want us
to take your word for how much of a serious modder you are and using
these big snooty words and references make you look like such an
informed and capable individual.

Better
Combat changed also behaviour of some spells. And anwyay if you learn
how to mod some things you cannot not know how it is done, because the
variable is in an include file.
In DA:O, yes. Some of us have been around for longer than that.

Oh,
excuse me, you're of an ethnicity known for loosing their temper and
acting all big-shot. Excuse me while I just let you toot your own horn
for acting according to stereotypes, worsening all impressions of
italians everywhere else, while I drink this beer and watch some
football.
Yeah, yeah, that totally excuses everything you've said.

Thanks,
you made my day. I prefer to be hated, in fact. It enables that sort of
diffidence that doesn't let you act without being attentive to what the
other says, but at the same time enough confidence as to not be
extraneous to him/her as to be indifferent. All in all, the perfect mix
;-)
Oh, haha. Haha. Haha, guys, haha. Check out this joker,
he's acting like he enjoys this! Enjoy being hated, yet when confronted
about an argument, he doesn't slow down to rise to an argument and
defend himself like he had anything at stake! I mean, he totally doesn't
care about what you think of him, he'd rather you hate him, by acting
like an immature person who can't handle being wrong about anything.
But
seriously, this is your angle? You *prefer being hated*? You think you
are this way? If you were, you wouldn't have been so easy to argue with
like I did just earlier. I've met better people at this than you. You
just like to grab that last saving grace, huh? Good on ya!
