  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IWD and BG evil?

Should Icewind Dale and Baldurs Gate be considered evil and unfit for christians?
Baldur's Gate should be considered a poor game to play in general (please, please, no flames. I liked it too when it came out because of the innovation, but you must admit that the plot isn't very great, the sidequests are annoying, and the engine does as it does to improve it, so it's very hard to play nowadays).

As for Icewind Dale, I can't see why it would be evil. I mean, you're FIGHTING demons, correct?

The infinity engine used for the games has gone by the wayside. However, if you look at what RPGs there were before Baldur's Gate you'll see that it was the best thing to come out in years. It was fantastic for its time.

IWD is good ol' hack-n-slash.
I believe Diablo I and II use the infinity engine also.

Evil?
Naah.
They're about as evil as my stinky little pinky finger.

I like baldurs gate 2. Its a fun game(im more of a console gamer though). I think that its ok as long as you are one of the good characters i try to stray from being like summoners and like magic users because they seem a little satanic. I havent really played the other one.
