5: isn’t “warrior” a name for barbarians? Opinion #1
6: hmm, can this be turned….. off?
7: an opinion if I’ve ever seen one
8: opinion; your definition of “limited”
10: opinion, i get it though but there’s a Barbie movie coming out if you need some pretty cartoons to look at…
11: are those…. Required? No? So it didn’t hit all aspects, which means this isn’t an opinion, it’s just wrong.
12: Ultimate edition, Deluxe and Standard all include the game, another one where you’re just wrong.
13: it almost feels like your list is mad that the game hasn’t updated enough and then you’re butt hurt when they actually did update something usefully, why would this be on the list at all? If you were giving your Baals a tug it probably wouldn’t be (but then you may not be posting at all.)
15: opinion; have you tried every class? I’ve done a few different sorceress builds already, and there’s plenty more to try with different aspects.
17: opinion, I’d even dare say flat out wrong.
19: seems you’re really upset about something outside of the game because life doesn’t fit your ideals, well too fucking bad cupcake, ain’t shit you can do about it.
20: for one person? So the other 10,000,000 should just give up? You’re spare parts bud.
Sun it up enough? Either way enough times been wasted, hope both of you find each other and get over whatever obsession you have with meaningless shit.
