Post LOL Popular area....

A guy can hardly get a topic in edgewise around here...... Seriously most issues pertain to both TOB and SOA so splitting the forum in two is a bad idea.

Since it's the same game, cross-over is rather likely. Still, some stuff is purely ToB-related. The SoA forum is pretty much overloaded anyway (if you post something and no-one replies for 24 hours, it's on page 3...).

If it covers both, then the logical place to post it is here, where people who've played both will see it.

Having them together is a terrible diea, it lead to God knows how many ToB spoilers being slipped into what had been SoA talk..

i agree.. it should be in the same forum... coz i mean.. we are BOUND over lap topics.. and wouldnt someone who played ToB have ALSO played SoA?? haha.. so it also benefits the ToB players (ie. they dont need to opent 2 browsers to view 2 forums)... let's boycott! haha.. just kidding.

It's still kinda hard not to post ToB stuff in the SoA forum. If classes and levelling up are discussed, it almost always includes a couple of ToB details. I expect the SoA forum will still be "the" BG forum and will have nearly all of the non-ToB/SoA specific threads.

Seperating the forums allows for orgainization when it comes to the two games. It allows people who have played through both games to post their needs, discussions and other such without people who are new BG2 having the story spoiled for them. Plus, it was requested by several members of GB.

Well the reason for this forum is so thoese of us whom haven't completed, or even got ToB can still look at SoA without getting spoiled to much for ToB.

There have been cases of spoilers being placed in the topic - and many gamers would rather like to discover things themselves

@Kameleon, this category isn't for spamming. Please, if you haven't got anything to contribute, don't bring up old topics that move newer ones off the first page. People ask questions and want answers, and you're not exactly helping 'em by doing this.

This topic is closed.
