I was reluctant to buy it but needed something new to play.

I don't like fantasy OR western RPGs outside of Shadowrun, but this game is awesome! Why didn't you guys give it a chance when it was big last year?

I hardly even keep track of people I reply to from topic to topic. I can't remember what users were leading me astray, but part of the reason I made this topic was for them to explain themselves. Hopefully they come forth.

Oh wait found TC's topic on BG3 elsewhere.

Topic title was "If I don't gravitate towards D&D type stuff, will I like BG3?"

Yeah no one lead you astray, they just answered your question. And half the topic is people extolling the virtues of the game anyway. Way to be dishonest about it though!

My topic on the BG3 board is not the topic that I made last year on CE asking if I should buy the game.

I DID tell them I don't normally play western RPGs, and that I enjoy survival horror genre a lot, and people basically dismissed me that it probably wouldn't be for me.

It was quite literally the only game I played for six months. Two full playthroughs, and a host of aborted attempts to beat Hardcore mode.

I'm not talking about your topic on the BG3 board, homie, I'm talking about your CE topic that you made last year, which went exactly as I stated. Some people said yeah, maybe not for you, some people said you should give it a shot.

Well when you tell people that you don't play western rpgs and D&D like games, its easy to imagine why people would tell you to not buy a western rpg based on D&D lol

Multiple people in that topic quite literally did just that.

You also made a poll asking if you should get it and the responses were overwhelmingly yes.

Why you lying?

Again, I don't have a picture perfect memory of the topic.

I specifically do remember people telling me "This game probably isn't for you. Don't waste your time with it."

That seems like an aggressive statement to make. Like I'm not welcome in the BG3 community.

I guess there were people saying to try it out too? Idk, you tell me. You are the one that has all of this in front of you. Idk how you even looked it up, but from what I remember people were being very rude and hostile to me for not being into western RPGs and fantasy. The positive response may not have left as much of an impression on my memory because they weren't as "loud".

Not really. It's a fairly reasonable take based on what you've said: you dislike every genre that the game can fall under prior to this point and don't play them as a point. Yes BG3 has an argument for being the best CRPG, but just being the best doesn't really mean everyone is required to like it. Especially when their previous game, Divinity 2, is similar in many aspects and has been out for long enough that it could be presumed that you turned that one down already.

That is more a human nature thing. A study found that humans remember negatives vastly more than positives and you would need to have the positives vastly outnumber the negatives (generally around 4+:1) for the positives to stick more than the negatives. It's why, for instance, people get vastly more heated about nerfs in a game than they get positive about buffs: the nerf is a negative and is thus massively more emotionally resonant.

Just so everyone watching this is aware, this is what a Narcissist looks like in the wild. If this TC reminds you of anybody in your personal life, really take a moment to reevaluate your relationship with that person, whatever shape that may take.

The guy calling me a Narcissist is using an alternate spelling of his username because his primary was unsurprisingly banned.

I've blocked him. Making a snap judgment that someone is a narcissist because you don't like what they said in GFAQs is ridiculous. Like the dude is a doctor and he knows me.
