[quote who="TheJaker" reply="56" id="2749314"]Heh. I learned about QuarterToThree.com thanks to PC Gamer and discovered a hilarious thread: http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=60997 Check out the asshole parade in that thread. It's hilarious. They're obsessed with Brad Wardell. [/quote]That thread made me LOL.
[quote who="Jharii" reply="50" id="2749150"]Not even close. Fiction is a story of whatever the author wishes to write. It does not have to have any bearing on the moral fiber of that author, nor does it have to possess any inner desires of what that author may have packed away. It's a story, plain and simple.[/quote]Thank you for elaborating. However, you are wrong. Context is always present in fiction. That of the author, that of the reader, and that of the era
[quote who="Rune_74" reply="46" id="2749112"]Hmm I don't see how it is out of context, if a person has a history that could be seen as a clouded judgement it is very much in context. You don't find it odd that she would even want to do the review considering the history....and not just doing the review in one place? [/quote]LOL, as if Istari is completely unbiased when Brad literally pays him to post here. [quote]You have a very sharp view on this, how are you connected?[/quote]
[quote who="TOWDrac" reply="40" id="2749028"]Yeah, you really like to attack, don't you? While I think that's not good, it doesn't invalidate what you say.[/quote]Who is attacking? This is English Literature 101 stuff I'm saying. [quote]The story must have a point, of course. Must it have lessons...must it convey values? Whose values?[/quote]The values of the person writing the story, of course. Now, it doesn't need "lessons" or "morals", but virtually all novel-length fiction does
[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="37" id="2748961"]I think it is possible to write a good story that doesn't have any "racial or political undertones" and is not "cliche fantasy". If it's really a good fantasy story, it shouldn't be hidden political propaganda. Of course it can represent the author's philosophical views (like the Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth Series, which is close to my views), but it shouldn't refer to the current political situation in the real world.[/quote]Good fiction that
I love how when people say that the book has racial or political undertones, the stock response is "No, it's cliche fantasy, just like all other cliche fantasy!", as if that would entice someone to buy the book. Honestly, if those reviews had convinced me that the book was a nerds version of Atlas Shrugged, as opposed to a D- creative writing term paper, I'd actually have been inclined to buy it. Also, the claim that Random House are going to put their staff to work on Elemental's clu
This wouldn't be an issue if the whole dynasty system had any point. The sovereign would go kamikaze and his eldest kid would take over. Hopefully, they'll implement this soon.
Sorry, crappy forum ate my post, so you don't get to read it. I guess everyone will have to wait for the patch!
[quote who="Rune_74" reply="114" id="2747593"]I was fine with everything else you wrote until this vomit at the end which took away anything else you said. If you guys feel the need to whine and cry about the bad launch on and on why not just make one thread where you guys can hold each other and wail in dispare? I have said the launch sucked, I just don't go around every thread repeatingit like some of you.[/quote]You post like he just called your mother ugly or something. What's
[quote who="stupidquotesbroken"]"Although! One of your other posts plus a take at RPS really made me realize something: I said what is essentially "fanboyism" affects nothing. I think I was wrong on that one. because it affects a lot. It doesn't at all help the company see needs or deficiencies or things that need to be done. It results in a blinding effect if there is enough of it."[/quote] Yeah, because in this thread from befo

[quote who="charon2112" reply="14" id="2747540"]Seems like 90% of posters are disgruntled Elemental purchasers...the people who love it are too busy playing to post. [/quote]Or they are on vacation!
They would never do such a thing! I demand a retraction!!

[quote who="Stmorpheus" reply="17" id="2747505"]i don't understand why these threads keep getting made, its the same crap over and over again. why not just go into someone elses bitch thread and show your distaste there? why make yet another thread that says the same crap? i know these people see them on the boards, just go in there and stop crowding up the forums.

Have you SEEN how much damage a warhammer can do in real life!? In all seriousness, I also wish there was more incentive to use swords. My favored approach would be giving swords a chance to attack first when defending.
[quote who="dengracia3334" reply="13" id="2747424"]I just started the game. I have not had children to create a dynasty. What is the quickest way to do this?[/quote]If your sovereign is female, you're in luck: on turn 2 a male NPC will join your kingdom for free and you can propose to him soon after killing a few spiders (Choose Janusk, open actions menu, click the wedding ring). If your sovereign is male, well, you will need to head out into the wilds and look for a wife. Just explore the ma
I hope that you guys can get the publisher to send you a code. It's kinda sad that DLC gets linked to the purchase of a vanity novel and people who bought the novel can't even get the DLC. :(
[quote who="Rune_74" reply="106" id="2747290"]That would be like suggesting that you and all the other frothing at the mouth posters are the same...Notice I never said I agreed with the 9 you however hate for the sake o f hating.[/quote]I said I was joking. Your defensive reaction and another mouthbreather with the same bad grammar popping up to attack me makes me wonder, though..
[quote who="Dethedrus" reply="103" id="2747265"] Quoting surlybob, reply 102It looks like rossanderson's true identity has been revealed! Wait are you suggesting that Rune_74 and Rossanderson48 are the same person? Heresy! [/quote]Let's just say that I'd like to see one of them post while the other is drinking a glass of water!

You know, I could buy that the lore says my sovereign is immortal because he's a channeler, but if that's the case then why are Janusk and that random female NPC that I married also immortal?!
