I apologize to anyone who found my comments to be hateful, hypocritical, or in any other way offensive. I sincerely didn't realize that suggesting people
in general try to be polite to one another when having a discussion was such a controversial and inflammatory concept. But I guess in this day and age, it is. So I stand corrected. As long as certain lines aren't crossed and it doesn't violate any of the forum rules, I'm sure Markus and the moderators won't have a problem.
Furthermore, I hope this post doesn't come across as sounding defensive or make anyone else feel defensive. I'm sure this will sound insincere to some, but I truly have no intention of keeping this argument going any further. So if anyone else feels it necessary to have the last word on this topic, I graciously yield the floor to you.
I've attempted to redirect this thread toward a constructive discussion on storylines. If anyone else is interested in taking part in this discussion, I'll gladly rejoin the conversation. Otherwise, I'd rather devote my time to something more productive and beneficial to the development of the game.
