So far I'd much rather have a reliable ranged character that can hold his own rather than a wizard.

The only thing I know about this game is that there's a bunch of twitter and reddit drama going on today because an insane former neo-Nazi and a (self-described) radical feminist who wants to kill all men are demanding that a somewhat amusing and ultimately harmless poem be removed from a tombstone in the game world because it's "offensive".

Have I stepped into the universe of The Onion? If so, can I leave now?

What poem? I'm super curious now. But not curious enough to go find it for myself, since you know what's going on.

My game is now more or less unplayable.

There's a bug with the item called Drinking Horn of Moderation. If you ever equip it it will permanently ruin your cipher character and it will persist across saves and even if you remove the item.

Basically it makes it so you can never increase focus in combat ever again. If you've played cipher, this is basically GG. The best part is this item is extremely easy to get and super good for ciphers so you're bound to use it on one the moment you get it.

What a stupid bug.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Oh hey, speaking of bugs, have they patched the 'double-clicking to equip armor removes racial bonuses' yet?

[umiman]

No. It doesn't just remove racial bonuses, it removes all buffs.

I'm with her, actually, I said earlier that I stopped reading the backer quotes because a disturbing portion of them were just rape/torture fantasies with a disturbing portion of those about various way of hurting women: just of the top of my head, "Broken branch" on the bridge to the main town with the passage about someone thrusting fingers into a wound in a woman's stomach and another called "the Vulture" in the first town inn who is torturing a family. This is exactly why we can't have nice things. A ton of the "fan"/"backer" stories are utterly fucked up, I am not surprised a ton more are offensive.

and yes, a "funny" poem about someone killing themselves because they slept with a transperson is utterly fucked up and offensive, if it was about someone killing themselves after sleeping with a black person it wouldn't even be a damn debate, it would be a boycott.

Someone should have dealt with this shit,  before release, this all reminds me of this comic http://gunshowcomic.com/471.  I don't want other people's rape fetishes, hateful bullshit, or weird misogynistic torture fantasies in my damn rpg, even they donate 20$ for the privilege of getting to add this shit.

I didn't even know those things were user submitted though I stopped reading them after the 5th of 6th time. They contribute nothing and are incredibly boring.

I have a lot of problems with the game right now. Almost all of them related to bugs. I don't give a shit about some random fuckwad's idea of good literature since I don't have to read it. The only problem I have with the backers is that almost all the "special" characters are godlike. Wow. So much for incredibly rare species guys. I swear they outnumber normal people in places like the capital city.

Same here, I didn't even look at them after I glanced through the first one. They seem silly and utterly unimportant. Who the fuck cares?

I'm supposed to ignore content?  They are bad and the devs should feel bad.  Letting the internet mobs write content for your game? Really?

Ignore content if you don't like it, yes. Nobody is forcing you to read through them after all. You know now that they are badly written crap tossed in by the internet backers, so why would you waste time looking at them?

I am ignoring them, I am also wondering why are they there at all?  Games don't typically come with optional sections of vile and offensive bullshit you don't want to experience.

Honestly? Because it was a cheap easy-to-fulfill backer promise that got more cash donated so they could make the actual game.
