The pack itself. Heros and Champions. Extra Crystals or anything for champions? I could likely read it. I'm installing. Just wanted to seek clarify. 

I'm not a player of this game, so I couldn't tell. I just know its style and followed the buzz around it. Someone better placed could answer you about what you need.

Actually, it's a good day for me since I'm pro LGBT and straight allies. If I had to play this game and see this, I wouldn't stop harrassing the writers for this much bigotry until they removed the joke. I'm dead serious.

Are you serious? Sarcasm in text is hard to read.

And that is why people won't take it serious. LGBT people wants to be treated like everyone else, and they should. they are people the same as he rest of us. That means they also should accept being joked about - the same as everyone else. The Political Correctness crusade is a double edged sword, really. If it gets stuffed into everything even remotely "offensive", like it is today, it will lose its edge quickly, because people will be too fed up to even care.

I was half joking, half being serious. I wouldn't harass them to be honest but I would kindly remind them that transphobic jokes aren't cool. That's all. I'm part of the LGBT myself so I take any joke aimed to belittle and ridicule my kind seriously. I can see and read from Obsidian's tweets that it's something they overlooked, so I'm not angry at them that much... More upset by the fact they didn't think about re-reading themselves before they released the final product.

With all this hype. I'm expecting to be BLOWN AWAY. Almost literally off my chair. I should find it nothing less then superior. I'm basing this entirely off this thread.

Patch works fine for me, though I could use higher MSAA values; it'll do for an isometric game.

 

Edit: I went for the Royal edition and am glad; so much fun reading to do!

The single joke was a guy jumped off a cliff because he slept with a man who claimed to be a woman.

 

Not everyone likes, nor has to like, nor has to tolerate, transsexuals or any other minority group or any group in general. Everyone has a right to mock, insult, joke about, or otherwise criticize anyone they choose to.

I'm fine with LGBT. I like straight girls as well as bisexual.  Sometimes I prefer bisexual.

There's a lot of hyperbole flying around, the game is not bad but it is certainly not great either and even with the patch it is still buggy as hell. If it had any competition nobody would put it as the second coming of Jesus, because it is far from it. The great thing about it is that if it succeeds more isometric CRPGs will follow, and those are the ones that have the potential to be really good.

Everyone knows nostalgia is one hell of a drug, and I say this as an impulse backer...

I think when the patch hits GOG finally, I will restart the game and play more leisurely. Until then, just sitting and waiting...

 

 

As for the joke thing, well, it was making fun of that guy more than the person he slept with, and kind of points out how stupid stuff like 'gay panic' is.

 

I will just leave this here, I don't agree with most of what Maher says at times, but this time he hits it on the head.

Well i am part of that group aswell and i didn't find it offensive at all to be honest. But i guess we are just different people. I just don't like it when others take up my agenda to fight battles i don't care about. Most guys i know that are gay don't much care about anything like this and would let it slide in a heartbeat. So i think Obsidian was in the right publishing it, to bad people i don't like ruined it for them.

I was planning on rerolling soon cause it turns out Nature Godlike is a fairly meh choice as far as passives go. Going to try and decide between Fire and Moon I suppose. Still sticking with druid though cause I love the class. Having the patch drop works out perfectly, so here's hoping I won't have any issues with it.

It wasn't any marketing. The hype in this section. The reviews. I haven't seen a single ad for it. All these people can't be wrong. Only way to know for sure. Try something new. Just take it on trust. I have read almost nothing literally about it. I am sure it's going to be a good game. I don't think there'd enying massive interest. Must be a cause. You are right in general to do your research.

And I got a fetish for fat beardy men... So I guess whatever floats our boats?

I get  your point. It's alright, we don't need to agree on everything.  :blush:

I feel like people are blowing the joke way out of proportion here. It's a few lines of writing in an Obsidian game, and if you learn to laugh at stupid little jokes like that I suspect you'd be upset quite a bit less in life.

 

We all get jokes aimed at us for whatever reason no matter who we are. Most of them aren't worth being offended over.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised the whole controversy started with Brianna Wu though. Poor girl didn't have it easy in a while. Ugh, GG...

Take your feels back to tumblr, the jokes are cool and funny if I think they are.

As a black dude, I have the right to be pissed off at something I find offensive. However, I would be overstepping my boundaries if I told the guys creating that product to remove that content from it. If it offends me then I will not play it. People might like that type of stuff but it's on them and not me
