There is nothing "rude" in calling something badly written - badly written Stabbs.
But there is something rude in calling things that are not rude - rude.

That example you quoted is very badly written and intentionally so, in order to create a presumed false excuse for the current form of the quest remaining the same, despite how illogical it is.

The "but i didnt mind it!" or "but i like it" has nothing to do with internal coherence and logic of something written.

I dont think there would be a single person that would actually like that. We do expect literal character portraits in our RPGs - because we expect characters, people. Or our alter egoes. Not tools. And certainly not classes - especially in this particular game.

In any case, i miss the bearded, mohawk, and face painted Roderick, - with all those combined, thanks. While i miss any single Scarlet portrait that would actually look like the face i see in the game. Not to mention the haircuts and skin tones.
