    [​IMG] You can edit your post using the *edit* button on top of it. I have always found that interpunction and short sentences have eased understanding of texts in general.
    I generally refuse to waste my time attempting to puzzle out the sense from a garbled text.

    For those interested in the meaning of the original post, here's the version without poo all over it:

    "What a dissapointing game. I have played bg1, bg2, iwd1, p torment, nwn and all been great games. NWN's the pick by far. But iwd2 is more like a puzzel game than a rpg.
    Fact 1 it seems by the posts here lots of people get stuck with the puzzel side of the game. Like why in hell do you have to do something like 8 times to get to next level. Oh and what about the walking? They had it right with swift boy, but they seemed to have given up on that.

    ps. Where are the good helmets, boot of speed and for a monk, gloves? Well at least I got near the end of chapter 5 with only 1 char. A level 23 fighter would have been good to finish iwd2 but I don't have time to do puzzels. If I did i'd buy a cross word mag."


    For the original poster, I refer you here.

    Thanks for the translation Faragorn.

    The Real Deal, you don't need crossword puzzles you need a grammar book. :p

    As for puzzles, I haven't found it too puzzeling. My only gripe so far is Battle Squares is too demanding. That 60 second rule is the clincher. But Battle Squares is optional after you win once.

    I'm telling you right now.

    There's more trolls in Iwd2 than 1.

    Add this one up in there as well. And me with no Killsword. I guess this piddly +5 longsword will have to do. At least I've got my wizard with a firewand that's got about 5000 charges on it. Just stand back, and fireball the entire site from orbit.

    troll++;

    Errrr.

    troll--;

    I'm glad that some brave individuals translated that post at the beginning. Given the way I have to read stuff it didn't make a bit of since.
    I thought that PS: T had more "thinking" involved than say IWD2...

    Exactly, Planescape Torment is that one that stimulates the brain.

    Hmm, maybe we could convince the educational systems around us to provide this "hands-on learning experience" since they aren't doing a good job at grammar anyway. ;) :grin: ;)

    Seems that Real Deal thought that IWD2 was Diablo. Is it puzzel or puzzle? I prefer the latter.
