Why join a site and buy the games from a company that you despise and moan about being ****? Do you really not have anything better to do?

BECAUSE WE USED TO LOVE THIS COMPANY

IMAGE A NICE SLICE OF CAKE

NOW IMAGE A GIANT COMES OVER AND STEPS ON THAT CAKE, RUINS IT, DESTROYS IT

THATS BIOWARE FOR US


Oh boo bloody hoo. Cry me a river will you. "We used to love this company and now I'm going to nerd rage all over their forums because they don't do what I WANT them to do QQ". 

Get over yourself. 

If you want to get all "funny" with my video games, you should get out.


No actually. I'm not going anywhere. I'm not getting "funny". I'm not the one nerd raging and justifying bullying a woman because I don't like what she does. It's you who's doing it, so maybe you should get out. 

No wonder people say that gamers are the worst fans ever. 

It's my obligation to criticize ***** quality when I see it and it's also my business to stay here and protect the industry.

You're business is to get out and let me deal with it.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAHAHA. OH goodie. Nerd rage abound. Are you wearing a suit of nerd armour to head into your battle of "protecting the industry". Get. over. yourself. 


IT'S MY DUTY TO PURGE THE INDUSTRY OF THREATS LIKE YOU AND I SHALL DO IT

DON'T BE RUDE ABOUT IT


I like you. Good luck with your mission.

Get over yourself. 

Why should I not be frusterated?

Comparing the writing of Baldurs Gate 2 was Biowares last good game. KOTOR 2 was a buggy mess and was still better written than the first.


Kotor 2 wasn't even BioWare.

That's what I'm saying, lrn2readingcomprehension. Obsidian wrote a better story than Bioware with a smaller deadline and George Lucas constantly yelling at them.

The only good part of KOTOR was a the I AM REVAN twist.


And that is YOUR opinion. IMO Kotor 2 had a really crappy plot. I don't really see the point of you being on these forums at all. Clearly you have nothing constructive to say and your nerd rage can be felt across the Northern hempishere. 

More like how I can feel your butthurt through my monitor.

A little mad that I'm critisizing your favorite developer?


BioWare isn't my favourite developer. There are a lot of better plots in other non-BioWare games which I enjoy. What I don't enjoy though is butthurt, people lacking common sense and more butthurt. It's people like you who make a bad name for people like us. You know, those of us who actually do like to give constructive criticism now and then and can do so as mature human beings. 

But you're getting upset over a comment I said. You're getting upset over something I posted on an internet forum.

I don't know how to describe it. Pooper peeved? Anally aggrevated? I could go on.

Here's the difference:

Person A calls her a fat ***** who can't write worth ****.   I hate that person and think they are scum.
Person B (me) thinks that one thing she said was disappointing and, in a moment of weakness, she showed some immaturity.

I don't know for sure if she is an overall arrogant person, but that single line sure was.



There is no difference. A name call is a name call. Whether you swear or not doesn't matter, you're just expressing you're displeasure by saying something hurtful to someone else.

So then by that logic Helper is no different from her attackers because they both name called.

SO then I guess bioware should be writing a check out to all the people that she name called since its the same amirite? ;)


Nope. A name call is a name call, but defending oneself and instigiating an altercation are not the same thing. Interestingly, our US courts believe the same thing.

Now you're contradicting yourself. If a name call is a name call, then that is the way it is 100% of the time. No buts about it. It doesn't matter if the circumstances are defending oneself or instigating an altercation. A=A

An accurate way to defend herself would be to call the police and say that X people are harrassing her, that is defense. Name calling them back or bad mouthing them saying that they can not get any vagina doesn't defend herself in any way.

So you haven't liked their direction and see it as prudent to waste your time thinking they're going to change their direction to accomdate you even though this hasn't happened for more than 10 years and 5 games?

Yeah that seems logical instead of moving on to a dev that makes the games you prefer.

FYI: You said you disliked the games since KOTOR. I happen to like the games since then. I consider myself a BW fan. So no try not to play the "lulz I liked them longer then you have (even though you apparently don't. You simply liked some of their games while I liked pretty much everything save NWN).

Hepler herself has responded with some fire of her own, Tweeting on Saturday, "I just figure they're jealous that I get to have both a vagina AND a games industry job, and they can't get either."



lol....


And that's completely understandable.


No, feminism is never understandable. Especially bringing it up because you have run out of things to say. 


She mentioned having a vagina. Not "Oh they're picking on me because I'm a wittle girly"

And who's bringing it up? I think you are. I was commenting on her witty remark, not the gender.

The only thing that I can seek comfort in is that Cd Projekt is still alive and The Witcher 2 is still out there.

Agreed. And if men think femnisim is only helpful to women, consider this: in a feminist society, men would have just as good a chance of getting the kids in a custody battle as a woman assuming both parents are fit. As it stands, men are disadvanted. Why? Because of the sexist belief women are better at raising children and should be the ones to do it.

That'd be a valid point if feminism promoted equality. We all know it doesn't. It's feminism and not egalitarianism.

But see, this what I'm talking about. This entire event has been hijacked by feminists when gender had absolutely nothing to do with it.


True feminism is about egalitarianism. Check the dictionary definition.

Your impression of feminism is based on what the media tells you and what radicals who scream the loudest say. I am a feminist, and I promote equality between genders, not the superiority of one over the other. I am first-hand proof that there are feminists who want fairness for all.

Sexism does have something to do with it. It may not have started it, but it definately played into it as is readily apparent in thing said by her attackers. I'm more inclined to umbrella the situation not under sexism strictly, but under plain old "crappy people who don't know how to act".

I think there's a lot of legitimate criticism that can be levelled against her, and in fact most of the Bioware writing staff, so the fact she's essentially being turned into a martyr doesn't really sit well with me. "X insulted her, that means they hate women" is still just as bad an argument as "Bioware's writing sucks, this one woman is the cause of all of it". What happened was still bad, I'm just concerned it'll damage the credibility actual criticism or complaints with Bioware's writing in general.

What I'm saying is basically everybody is ruining it for everybody.

But you aren't a BW fan. You're an EA fan. You like BW after they got absorbed in EA. Which means you've never actually expierenced good Bioware writing.

Go play Baldurs Gate 2. I'm here because I'm hopeful Bioware might change.

You're business is to get out and let me deal with it.

Our opinions are just as valid and important as yours.  We like the writing, you do not.  I did not like the recycled maps, maybe you did.  But if you really want to be helpful state what part of the story you did not like or what technical problem bothered you.  I don't like every book put out by authors I like.  It does not mean that all of their writing is awful.  Be specific and do not throw out the baby with the bathwater if you really want to be of any assistance in providing feedback.  That is my opinion, of course, but please note that I am a consumer as well.  Thus having you speak of "protecting the industry" against things I enjoy sounds less like you are helping and more like you are inflating your ego without providing the kind of feedback that the writers could actually tweak to please you, me, or anyone in the next release.

So what can us Bioware fans do against the blight that is Reddit? How do we hold these people accountable for the heart ache they have caused?

I think we should all send donations to vanneruk@googlemail.com and we can deal with the lardge amount of the trolls ruining twitter.

Actually as a proud feminist myself (More power to you girlfriend!) I'd prefer you to use the term "womyn".
The less we're dominated by males (even in our own gender titles!) the better.


Of course! My mistake. :3 I personally like gender-neutral pronouns and the like. But it sometimes scares and confuses cisgender people, so I'm careful to choose my context.

Look, I'm not going to criticise nor praise Hepler here, because my opinions about her writing aren't important here. Not liking her writing is fine by me. Constructive criticism is fine by me. But harrassment to this level - these people were sending her death threats through the phone, for goodness sake! - is too far!

This has to stop.

And according to you have been doing such for nearly 10 years.

Then why don't you sing their praises and leave us alone? It should be clear to you at this point that BW isn't going to be what you want them to be. Why not move on?

No I'm not contradicting myself at all. Think of a name call as a bullet. Someone fires one at you and you fire one back. Who is going to be held legally reponsible? The one who shot first, even though you both fired guns. Self defense is justified.

Saying name calling back is not defense is like saying name calling is not an attack. If someone punches you, do you sit there or do you put your hands up and swing back?

Because I can't. I still love Bioware deep down inside. I want them to change.

But they'll keep pandering to people who don't even like RPGs.

...Can you read?

I've liked BW since KOTOR. BW wasn't owned by EA back then bucko.

FYI : I have played (and enjoyed save the terribad combat system) BG and BG2. So...yeah never experienced good BW writing you say?

After 9 years of supposedly downward spiraling to you? I'm not seeing it. You need to let it go.
