Top *X* fiercely debated questions on EE forums:

1. Kensai/mage = best class combo?
2. Barbarian vs Berserker
3. What behavior/ideals do the alignments represent?
4. Multi-class vs dual-class
5. Sorcerer vs wild mage
6. Ranger/cleric = cheating?
7. Saving Clara
8. Best weapon setup
+9. Where's the patch
+10. Memes
+11. Is BGEE/BG2EE/IWDEE worth it?
+12. Sorcerer spell selection
+13. What class should I pick?
+14. Who is Wilson!?

I could only come up with 8(+5!) but that may be because I have only been active here for about half a year. Anything I should add?

    2) Berserker
    3) whatever
    4) Dual class

    Person A: Stealth, how does it work?

    Person B: I heard someones uncle read it works in X way(Everybody likes)

    Person A: Thx bro

    Person C: Nu uhh it totaly works in Y way

    Person B: Just tried it five times and its definitely X

    ....

    I still have no idea how it works xD I originally guessed it worked like this: HS controls stealth success/stay in stealth and MS prevented enemies from detecting you while you are in stealth.

    @wubble Ahh how many times have I not read through those threads and never become any wiser...

    "Take chromatic orb instead of magic missile! No, chromatic orb is worthless the saves are too high and magic missile is a must to take down mirror images! Chromatic orb is a lvl 1 troll killer and and can petrify/stun/blind/burn the target! Melf's acid arrow is way better for troll killing! You have many more lvl 1 spells!"

    I object. Never heard of a giant space ferret...
    I object to your objection! I've never seen a hamster backstab!
    Simple matter of logic and efficiency. Reason being they go for the eyes.

    Hamster versus ferret. Furious eye shredding vs mischevious back nibbling. A dispute so easy to settle.

    Unfortunately nibbling (or backstabbing - from the most phantasmagoric embodiment perspective) is not the main feature of ferrets. Their innate "ass" effect (asshole stinky spray) is the real threat. This does not help go unnoticed. Backstabbing ferrets are as fictional as the rabbit of Caerbannog.

    @wubble, really ? This is scary. Where can we procure those lovely hand grenades of Antioch ?
  • NimranNimran Member Posts: 4,875
    @Musigny‌ ferrets CAN backstab. I seen 'em do it! And they don't stink after being descented, only when they poop, and the poop does stink.

    Also, hamsters need a boost to go for the eyes. Ferrets just jump up on their own.
  • MusignyMusigny Member Posts: 1,027
    On a more serious note, off topic comment, if descented is an elegant word meaning anal gland ablation then this is cruel.

    However let's go back to multi class vs dual class vs killer rabbits vs backstabbers of all kinds (and furs).
    You are right ! Hamsters need a little help, this makes them even more deadly !

    Very indirectly you have a point : I will play the BG2 1.3 beta with my beloved lawful neutral sorcerer.

    "anal gland ablation" Now there's a word combo I never expected to read on these forums...

    Nor anywhere else for that matter. Uff da!

    14. Dual wielding vs. 2 handed weapon (though I suppose that would fall under the #8 category).
    15. Rasaad sucks! (I don't see that much anymore, but that was a huge topic when BG:EE was first released).
    16. Is EE just a quick cash grab?
    17. The new NPCs are lame.
    18. Where's the DLC?
    19. Adventure Y

    20. Will this be released on [insert platform name here]?
