I will begin whining when they reveal the edgy female tiefling paladin companion who is more of a snowflake then the damn vampire in our party ( whom I dearly love ).
a paladin with cripplingly low fire resistance does sound like a bad move.
and yea i am aware of marketing tactics/ reasons. it does not discredit that i am cynical, untrusting, and move through life trying to keep expectations to a minimum least i be disappointed. its still nice to hear echos of ' did you do this for the hype ' in regards to the name.
again, i like this game, i tend to be more passive and roll with i will like a game or not, i didnt make it, i dont have to like it. if i buy something that isnt good, well learn, and buyer beware. however agree that this game has great roleplay potential. i also think with a name this big. this long after... we know a million ideas of what 'should be' come to the table. all that aside, ill repeat its a bold move to pick up this name by any company, and i hope it works our for larian. It draws so much attention, it have consequences good/bad.
