In general discussions subforum there’s always one of these threads of subjects like “endgame”. Opening posts in these threads are grandiose-seeking treatises from some strange point of view, complete with jargon and comparisons to other games. Not once have I seen the author attempt to step “outside the box” of spoon-fed concepts of genre. I don’t see why someone would want to waste their time with these threads. Who cares what some nickname on Internet forum thinks about good motives for playing some game?

I find it ironic that you’re making a post about uninteresting or irrelevant threads that no one cares about (ie. motives on playing the game) isn’t this the same kind I irrelevant topic? I mean, at least motives for playing has to do with the game, this is pretty left field.

I’m just gonna leave it at this…

This game is severely lacking in mental stimulation in regards to the combat system, skills system, and customization. There are literally thousands of things they could do to make this game objectively better. It’s obviously not a finished product and people are in the right to criticize and try to make it better. Those that give nothing but kudos are the ones that hold the game back from getting better, just be aware of this, regardless of whether you agree with anyone’s opinion or not.

In reality, this post is no different from the posts you’re complaining about.

i don’t think the op is talking about irrelevant content as much as he’s posting about the novels some people write up on the subject. seriously some of these posts are over 5k characters o.O

- How come? I’m curious to know is someone thinking they can re-create a game that is already designed, created, shipped and now on maintenance phase in software’s life cycle.
