Fluent, these are positive reviews, not only from the Codex, but from many CRPG fans and devs all over the world.
Just wondering, are there going to be negative reviews in this book? I remember someone mentioning a Top 10 worst list or something. Also, will it have a lot of foul language and general Codex-like behavior? Or is everyone on good behavior for it?
I just have some hesitation contributing to something that originated on the Codex.
I have to disagree as my opinion and dealing with them is very negative so Fluent has a valid point with his question. I trust felipepepe though and like his reply to the question.I think that's a little silly, Fluent. Although the opinions and behaviours vary widely different between Watch and Codex, both groups are enthusiastic about RPG. From what I've read so far, most of reviews are passionate and appropriate..
Don't be sorry Fluent as I agree with you. I also look forward to reading your articles.Sorry, it's just hard for me to trust stuff from the Codex. I've seen some really vile things come from that place.
But if this book is for the "good cause", then I will participate. I'll start working on my Oblivion review sometime soon.
Also, it will cover all relevant & influential games, including some bad ones like... Pool of Radiance 2
felipe, Can you refresh my memory for what I signed up for? Just Oblivion?

It's a term from Hinduism anyway, and it's used in pretty much the same way in his games as it is there. He might have read the Bhagavad Gita or even just about it. Indian stuff was a fad when he was little, so it's very likely he got it from there.… the simple fact that it's called "Avatar" already destroys Richard Garriott's claim that he invented the term.
Yes, I'm aware, but Garriott constantly likes to boast a bit more than he should... like, in this interview at 2:00, he states he:It's a term from Hinduism anyway, and it's used in pretty much the same way in his games as it is there.
