    Iā€™ll bite. Show me the Old Testament RPG where a dead mother figure is standing in a coffin in an assassin cult, and Iā€™ll concede. Hereā€™s your chance.

      I just canā€™t count how many movies since the very fucking 1900Ā“s got that very fucking scene.

      How creative it would be if someone put that scene in an RPG, wouldnā€™t it? Like Ā«Ā Radio on the InternetĀ Ā» if you can get that joke.

      Well, maybe you should start with fucking Diablo 1 then.

      Donā€™t forget to wash your teeth before going to sleep kiddo.

          Look, kiddo, let me pontificate for a minute.

          You seem like a decent person. A lefty who loves cats? Definitely my jam. But man, youā€™re just terrible at arguments.

          You canā€™t just spit opinions and expect people with actual knowledge to agree with you.

          I get it, you love Skyrim and you want to think itā€™s a genius piece of art which invented everything. But itā€™s simply not true. Itā€™s a just a rewriting of very old stories. Like almost every RPGs to be honest - and the books LOTR, and the books GOT, and everything Fantasy really - but thatā€™s not the point.

          I simply hope you donā€™t make political arguments the way you led that conversation, because damn that was bad.

            I didnā€™t even play Skyrim until 2020. I think itā€™s like a B-. You have no idea where Iā€™m coming from opinion wise. I didnā€™t say an opinion. Iā€™m saying that BG3 was influenced by Skyrim. Thatā€™s all Iā€™ve tried to say this whole time.

            This is legitimately not an opinion that Iā€™ve tried to convey. Itā€™s insane to me that you think the impact is 0.00000%. Itā€™s not a coherent thought. Itā€™s like saying my uncle didnā€™t have any impact on me because my dad is older than he is.

            Iā€™m not arguing an opinion. I am not mad at this or debating a position. Iā€™m stating a fact and am being told itā€™s not a fact. Iā€™m shocked that you donā€™t understand what Iā€™m trying to say. If you think Iā€™m arguing, then you must not understand what Iā€™m trying to say.

            If you are upset by what Iā€™m saying, then I am genuinely concerned. I donā€™t know what part of what Iā€™m saying can be so wrong that you feel the best to argue. This is surreal to me. Can you acknowledge what Iā€™m trying to say?

            My entire statement is ā€œSkyrim had a non-zero impact on Baldurā€™s Gate 3ā€. Do you understand that is what Iā€™m saying?

          LMAO

          Try opening your eyes wider for a sec?

          Or maybe youā€™re just so unbelievably stupid you donā€™t even know what the Old Testament is ? Gotta admit Ā«Ā Old Testament RPGĀ Ā» is a fun way to talk about the Bible.
