Not sure if this was a direct quote but I disagree with the notion that you can't criticize BG2.
Touchdown. The goal post is now unrecognizable.
First you wondered, what game could there possibly be that is, Goodness Gracious, even BETTER than Pillars of Eternity? A proposal was raised: the whole list of well estabilished CRPGs, including one called Baldur's Gate 2.
"Baldur's Gate 2?" the illiterait sneered. "That is such a bad game. I played it back in High School but am
grown up now. I am ready to concede that it was good for a popcorn game but no more. Its combat is just bad. Its all about trap choices, really".
Except that it is not. I defer to Saint Sawyer Himself, Obsidian Avatar Ma'at to defend its quality. And I bring some examples of my own. To disparage Baldur's Gate 2 on the basis of Roguey memes is the same reduction that Pillars people do. Something that I don't think even Roxor did in the neutral/positive review of Pillars 1.0.
And so we reach the endgame. "Well, not even Baldur's Gate 2 is immune to criticism!" Hah. Good switcheroo right there. I'm sure that's what it means to state the obvious: that BG2 is a good combatfag game that partly inspired a certain kickstarter series.
But by all means, you mutual haters can go back to arguing nothings amongst yourselves.
