1. still you have to admit that forcing the player to do really terrible things removes any “free will.” like the o’reilly missions.

2. you can get both those e-peen if you go neutral. not to mention that you can get neither or them if you don’t know what to choose ahead of time.

3. honestly i’ve stopped playing with my alts because they were underleveled when episode 2 rolled out. not to mention that the “challenge” clbum is just more grinding. people who beat episode 2 quickly were leveled up already and idk they planned or something point is it’s not a hard game that requires a lot of skill

1. You sort of have a point, and I suppose we could’ve made those missions optional if you’re really morally opposed to them. (Note: They might actually be optional, I’m not sure anymore. Hell, apparently DrrtyCop was optional in Ep 1.) But I didn’t ever really see it that way because the forums he hands you are actually replete with racists, sexists, religious hypocrites, etc. You’ll notice this in the replies.

2) What I personally wanted to do was release tons more E-Peen that were utterly random, pointless, arbitrary, and make it nearly impossible to collect all of them. The idea would be to take away the power that comes with collecting Peen, because people have gotten far too serious about it and it’s ruined the fun. Making sure it’s balanced so that everyone practically has exactly the same Peen (or conversely, the same number of Peen) completely stifles creativity, in my humble opinion. Trout and BB feel differently, but they’re lamers Log in to see images!

3) Um, I forgot what we were talking about.

But I think that our conception of “grinding” differs. If you’re doing the same “dungeons” over and over just to get enough gold to get to the next level, that sucks. We’re limited as to how the gameplay can advance your character, but we tried our best to eliminate that kind of pointless repetitiveness. Our repetitiveness is meaningful. Of course, you can’t please everyone.
