    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Yeah, shit doesn't work like that. Your views are no longer valid, but that doesn't mean individual rights and freedoms are dead. Your dumb version of them that exists only to protect bigotry are at least mostly dead. Anyway, just accept it and be happy. It leads to a better society. You can...

    You deal with it bro. The worm has turned. Now you guys have to deal with not being able to discriminate at will. If you try to exercise your "right" to discriminate, you will get sued and put out of business.

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Individual freedom is not being completely shit on. It is being slightly curtailed in the case of someone running a public business. Since the "individual freedom" we are talking about is someone wanting to be a bigot, I'm fine with that.

    So you think the comparison is apt, but you feel like we should instead go in depth about why gays should be able to marry? Those arguments have already been made in this thread and others on this forum many times. After awhile, we get sick of it and point out the obvious comparison as...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Your individual freedom to discriminate ended when you created a public fucking business that takes in customers. We aren't inconveniencing you IN THE SLIGHTEST by telling you to serve whoever the fuck comes in your store. A person comes in that is black, shut up and serve them. A person...

    No, I'm saying individual rights have limits, and one of those limits is when you start discriminating against people while running a business.

    Right now I feel forced to respond to your idiocy, but trust me, I don't accept you.

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    I disagree. The very task of the government is to maintain a civil society. Sometimes it has to limit the "rights" of some people in order to protect others. You really can't fucking help yourself, can you. NO ONE IS SAYING THEY CAN'T HAVE WHATEVER OPINION THEY WANT. Stop insinuating we give a...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Beat the game. Was very satisfied with the ending and the fight was very tough (didn't have a cipher or enchanter). It felt pretty epic to me. Now I grant you, act 3 was very short, but last save was 48 hours, so overall the game seemed to have plenty of content and I didn't do a...

    Even if I grant you that, so? Discriminating against people is also a "moral crime", a worse one. Also, AGAIN, stopping someone from DOING SOMETHING is not the same as censoring their THOUGHTS. You keep saying this, they aren't the same dipshit. Go ahead and hate gays all you want. The minute...

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    I don't see why it is a bad comparison and comparing it to Godwin is pretty silly. It is an almost perfect comparison in fact, and as Sebudai points out, it pretty much wins the argument by default (unless you don't care about discrimination at all, like Furry!).

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Sure, people that are deadset on discrimination will keep trying to find ways, but pushing it further and further to the fringe is better for society. Hell, even Augusta had to open up after public pressure.

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    At least Hoss didn't think that being gay is discrimination by itself. Furry in 1960 "What makes the freedom to be black greater than the freedom to express your hatred for blacks? One form of discrimination is not better than the other."

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    Yikes... 1) The "freedom to express yourself as gay" is not discrimination of any sort. 2) Being gay is not an expression of someone's freedom of speech, it is just who they are. Glad to know you support freedom of speech, too bad you don't seem to know what freedom of speech is.

    Indiana...Religious Freedom eh? *sigh*

    No one is required to prove the law contributes to governmental discrimination to say it is unjust or wrong. If it contributes to private discrimination or gives any cover to private discrimination (in fact, that is its entire purpose), that is enough.

    Hoss, you need to up your game. Completely ignore anyone talking about discrimination and just keep repeat your talking points of "its about religious freedom!". Sure, it makes it transparent as fuck that you simply have no good arguments on your side, but at least that is better than going...

    You really believe that stopping the oppression of gays isn't a civil rights issue?

    Just because the far right is being retarded on this, you don't have to try and top them by claiming they are as bad as muslimextremistsof all things.

    Yeah, or other quests. Definitely explore enough to get a fully party of 6. I am in act 3 and only bothered to get to like lvl 4 in the Endless paths. I only went back there to get that deep when I found myself too low in level to do some other places.

    That is his biggest problem though. He sees almost universal agreement that he has some seriously fringe opinions on some topics as a sign that we are some gigantic echo chamber, instead of taking it as a sign that maybe he actually has the seriously fringe opinions on these topics.

    Well first, the dungeon below Caed Nua is 15 levels deep and you shouldn't run more than the very top of it and then stop until later. As for healer, you get a priest in Magram's Fork.

    I wonder if they are going to try and do a class rebalance. If so, I hope they nerf ciphers because without them, the game is difficult but fun. With them, it sounds like it is turning people off because it is so faceroll. Glad I didn't start with one.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I am curious if you felt the same way about BG and BG2. I certainly felt like while the graphics were obviously better, the goldbox games combat was just more fun than BG or BG2. Removing the grid and turn-based action only muddied the controls for me, as to handle any hard combat you ended up...

    This just simply isn't true. There isn't some sudden cliff of prejudice people have that jumps from "letting everyone have cake" to "now not even Peggy-Sue with her weird haircut also won't get cake". There are plenty of regions on the US that have "southern hospitality" and will go out of...

    Those druids cast Returning Storm Returning Storm - Official Pillars of Eternity Wiki Only way to really deal with it is to dispel the buff it puts on them or to kill them quickly. If you have a druid in your party, start using it. It is really good.

    Yes, that is exactly privilege. You know that no one is going to refuse business to whites, or if they did, it would be an extremely small group. On the other hand, if you happen to unfortunately live in some rural religious area, it is possible that every group (or a significant number at...

    I don't think many people are saying this at all. We seem to have a majority of the people saying it is a great game and they are having fun, with a few very vocal people saying the game is bad or mediocre. What I think is asinine are the people complaining about lack of diversity or...

    Yeah, I certainly feel like my party is pretty weak. For one, my melee (ranger/fighter/paladin) seem to do absolutely terrible damage. My druid and mage are carrying the fuck out of the rest of my team, which is probably not how it should be.

    Well, I spent the last 30 minutes getting my ass kicked by a dragon (Cail the Silent), finally beat it with one character alive. So yeah, people 2 hours into the game complaining they aren't fighting tough shit can go eat a bag of dicks.

    What exactly are you arguing for? Sure, we as a society often fuck over certain groups. That doesn't mean we should do it more often or allow the ability to do so be entrenched in law. As for "take away the high minded principle of the thing", no actually, let's not. What is behind the...

    I am getting my ass totally stomped by this banshee and her guards in the Heritage tomb. Just going to skip it now, tried the battle about 5 times and didn't get anywhere close.
