The culture wars are now the only remotely interesting aspect of 100 IQ gaming. A circus.
BTW there is still insightful gaming commentary that can be derived from this. Why is everyone playing a paladin in CRPGs whereas very few do so in real RPGs?
Because in CRPGs they don't have to roleplay them. They give you all the mechanical benefits of the class without the onerous roleplaying, therefore completely unbalancing the class. Meanwhile in Battlegrounds there is only one paladin out of 16 characters, and he might well end up destroying the whole party if the player keeps properly roleplaying him (I recently found a James Jacobs forum post saying that you really don't want to be playing a paladin in Curse of the Crimson Throne because of how dark/morally grey the campaign is. Too bad I didn't see the post before we started! We might have had zero paladins then.)
