Nah, those last two are from Codexers, who are largely just fuming idiots. They don't own those games because they despise anything that isn't a top-down WRPG.
Opinionated, definitely. Elitist & arrogant, yep. Largely just fuming idiots - not really, although it sure can seem that way more and more these days. It's not like it used to be signal to noise wise, in fact I've not stopped by for a month or so, but the fact remains I've spent more time at the Codex over the last six years than any other forum - and had a some very intelligent and funny conversations. As for "they despise anything that isn't a top-down WRPG", you may not realise that Deus Ex made it into the Codex's top 10 list a few years back IIRC. (if not it was close)

Pretty much, although I can't fathom why you think Codexers not being idiots is a problem.
Anyhow I'm really looking forward to getting into this mod when I have enough free time, and although the premise is a bit odd that's certainly not going to put me off trying something that's obviously had so much effort and love poured into it.
