Oh look at them swarm!
Best tactics you got. First you call everyone pricks and then you act like youve been the ones that have been insulted for people pointing out that somehow after nobody caring about your unrelated grievances in the other thread mysteriously another thread pops up with the exact same drivel made by an account created specifically for this venture.
- "stifle creativity." - Are you serious? You're basically saying putting a different character as the first one you see "stifles creativity"? You think there's an artist or a designer over there, who if told to put Ifan as the first character, would be offended by it? This is, quite honestly, ridiculous.
You freak out over a pixelated character beeing listed in front of another pixelated character and im the one thats ridiculous?
Also nice Motte and Bailey argument there. Yon dont simply want Ifan to be placed in the front you want certain poses that the designers created removed from the game and you want certain outfits that the artists have thought up to be removed and changed as such yes you want to stifle creativity.
Take note people reading this: They will demand one thing and when attacked they will always act as if they have demanded something insignificant. Its called the Motte and Bailey argument and its also a logical fallacy.
- "is a bit of exposed skin" - Not sure if you know what "a bit" is, but clearly, this is NOT that.
Oh no! Its almost nudity! Quick bring the Burka! Lest the fragile women will faint in the sight of slightly uncovered skin.
- "It is quite clear you are part of that particular hivemind too." - Maybe. I guess you can ignore me saying I like the elves, it doesn't really matter what people say, does it?
And yet you use the same nonsense arguments and fear mongering as the rest does.
Vulpes criticises the stripperiffic woman that appears when you first start the game. You respond by rolling your eyes.
And youve yet to explain why thats a negative.
I'm sorry. What exactly do you find so offensive about the Bioware games?
I can only speak for myself but i find it offensive that they are so bad.
For a company that prides itself in "Good writing" they sure create a bunch of very nonsensical situations where your character is quite clearly supposed to say one thing and if you dont the game chides you for it.
Also the combat system is bad and the quests are basically MMOs without the social element.
a great example of how sex and relationships can be depicted in a non-sexist way.
Oh the first witcher was sexist? Explain to me why because im genuinly curious.
Because the quote you gave is not phrased that way at all. Instead he seems to be acknowledging that they were going with a more flashy game of thrones esque vibe for the first couple of games and then went with a more narrativeely focused approach to sex and relationships, nowhere does this mean that the first games were sexist.
Or do you consider game of thrones sexist? I mean game of throne certainly has sexist characters in it but thats the point, they are generaly not shown as particulary virtuous are they now...
"It's a fantasy setting. It has teleporting crocodiles, and you want realism?" It's amazing how you can both make exactly the same flawed argument as your worst enemies.
actually i wasnt, i was making fun of the post stating that teleporting crocodiles are more realistic than uncovered midriffs.
As ive pointed out before: history, bareley covered warriors are pretty common with tribal societies and to me, this does not interfere with the believeability of the setting at all.
You are however quite right with your comparison of the including of black people in witcher. That is indeed an issue of simmilar idiocy.
However i think that is not the same issue here: Elves look like elves do in this setting, the female elves dont look any less covered than the male elves, as such it is quite easy to deduce that it is simply how elves dress in this setting and how they go to battle.
Why they dont have worse stats as a result is quite obvious: because that would be annoying.
I really think it looks terrible, and the elves generally look very unattractive.
You are entitled to your opinion but an opinion is not an argument. I also think that instead of dwarves they could have gone with a more interresting race but just because i find dwarves to be a tired cliche doesnt mean thats an actual argument against their inclusion in the game.
Also im pretty sure elves arent meant to look attractive to humans, their arms are overly long as well as their legs im pretty sure they want them to look alien on purpose, simmilar to the lizards. Which again makes me wonder why the dwarves look so human by comparison.
"okay, time to strap myself in for one of those RPGs".
if that stops you from playing a game you need to get your priorities straight.
Actually, I think you'll agree that the worst part of this is that Sebille succeeds at being both oversexualised and extremely unattractive. That's probably the worst possible combination.
Actually id call that creative, its a nice way for throwing off the audience.
Same as how the red prince acts very regal and pampered when he looks like a predatory animal. Its a visual bait and switch.
I wouldnt fancy myself an artist but this sort of playing with the audience expectations i am quite fond of myself too.
Especialy since you talk about "those RPGs", isnt that a great way then to dislodge the audiences expectations of the game right away?
