Again, probably. This is simply what I've seen from observing the boards. So again, I may be wrong. In fact, there's a good chance I'm wrong on this one. Take that as you will.

So, when I say

Many people probably decide to post after smoking crack cocaine and injesting psylocibin mushrooms, following their 24 hour stint in the nearest strip club, both as an employee and patron, so they likely shouldn't be posting or discussing such matters anyway.

you feel that it is a fair statement to make because I used the word "probably"???

There isn't a rule stating that topics must be philosophical/scientific/etc. Frankly, if there was, I wouldn't post very often in the General Forum, and several others probably wouldn't either.

Nioca, Salmon was trying to say that the reasons you say "most people" come to these boards apply only to you. I know a lot of people who come here for occasional serious and thought-provoking discussion in addition to just "talking about games" that you seem to prefer. So don't use phrases like "everybody" or "most people" unless you've personally talked to everybody and they've told you their opinions.

Besides, many people PROBABLY come here after a stressful job or such, and probably wouldn't be interested in discussing such matters anyway.

You would help your case if you only talked about why you are here. Speculating on the motivations of others is what leads to trouble.

Or hilarity.

Consider yourself corrected.

[b]There is this Dryak that lives next to Learned Darian. He offers you information, items, and magic for your unused skill points. I prefer to use my skill points. I kill the Dryak. Why can't I loot his lair?

Why does the game hate you for joining the Awakened? They don't do anything. When you join you don't get anything cool or useful (except for some combat techniques which my Shaper doesn't need), nor do any new doors open up. Ellhrah basically says, "Hey cool, you're an Awakened now. A quest? No, no, that's Taker talk my friend. You can sit around on your butt all day though. It's kind of what we do around here." I take back what I said earlier, the Awakened do do something. Apparently, if you leave their super secret special awesome club, Ellhrah restricts you from rejoining because you hurt his feelings. So, not only do I not have anything to do while an Awakened, I also cannot lie my way around other sects to get their cool stuff. Did I miss something important or am I just supposed to wander randomly around the island, averting my gaze from the interesting pro-Obeyer/pro-Taker quests until I find Trajkov and the Geneforge?
