Ents have tree bark as skin ;dEnts are more black than white, but they are good.Decades ago. It's kind of hard to miss when everything with dark skin is metaphysically evil in the books. The orcs are described as mongoloid.

Mask of the Betrayer was good.imagine liking NWN2 OC. easily one of the worst RPGs of all time.Imagine being this retarded that you're giddy of someone somewhere somehow possibly remaking the orc caves again.The greatest thing larian could ever hope to accomplish is someone using their engine and tools to recreate nwn2 and the expansions. Might actually pirate the game at that point, just to replay nwn2 in a better engine.If the BG3 devkit is released I bet on release date + 2 years for BG2 and NWN total conversions to pop up.
Seriously dude, you have problems.
remember all those horrible companions you're forced to take with you everywhere?
and that ending?
At no point did Tolkien ever describe orcs as a whole having dark skin.Decades ago. It's kind of hard to miss when everything with dark skin is metaphysically evil in the books.
He didn't describe them as a whole, some orcs he definitely described as dark-skinned or black, but that's not the point. The point is that everything dark or black in general is evil. The elves who refused to see the light of Valinor, the Nazgul, the Arab-like people who allied with Sauron, Sauron himself is black (not the skin color), the Balrogs (dark forms), etc. There's also the dichotomy of the good West against the evil East (Mordor).At no point did Tolkien ever describe orcs as a whole having dark skin.Decades ago.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Tolkien very rarely encountered a non-white person at all while he was writing his books and beforehand. Trying to read racism into the books is modernist revisionism based on our perceptions of what modern society is like.
Unless you want bland consumerist literature, it's unavoidable. Tolkien's writing is inseparable from his 'eurocentric gaze'. That white is associated with goodness, purity & co. and black with evil is a matter of cultural perspective.He didn't describe them as a whole, some orcs he definitely described as dark-skinned or black, but that's not the point.

I very much doubt Tolkien intended it for to be racist, that's ridiculous, but such things can and have been read into it. You can unintentionally spread propaganda against specific people by having your work interpreted in a specific way. I'm sure if the LotR was written before WW2, the nazis would've appropriated the elves as being obviously superior to other races because they are fair-skinned and generally blond. The problem is finding a solution, obviously, but I'm not going to get into that whole mess.
National-Socialism wasn't fond of faggotry usually associated with elves, though. No need to elevate some inferior races when perfectly fine white people still exist.I'm sure if the LotR was written before WW2, the nazis would've appropriated the elves as being obviously superior to other races because they are fair-skinned and generally blond.
When, long ago, the gods created EarthThat white is associated with goodness, purity & co. and black with evil is a matter of cultural perspective.
Excellent Initiative System: In its current iteration, BG3 might have one of my favourite initiative systems since it combines the advantages of individual and side-based initiative without the drawbacks inherent to either. With individual initiative systems, setting up combination attacks is difficult, but BG3 sidesteps this issue by having adjacent party members in the initiative list act in any order. On the other hand, with side-based initiative, CRPGs often devolve into the player's party going first and annihilating the most dangerous targets. In BG3, since initiative is still determined individually, setting up team-wide alpha strikes is entirely a matter of chance and not a strategy to rely upon.
Right off the top of my head, two of the main antagonists are Saruman the White and Gollum who is "pale skinned"He didn't describe them as a whole, some orcs he definitely described as dark-skinned or black, but that's not the point.

It's not necessarily 'white' but 'light' along with courage/hope.Unless you want bland consumerist literature, it's unavoidable. Tolkien's writing is inseparable from his 'eurocentric gaze'.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with NWN2, you heathen.And now I’m old enough to see people acting elitist/nostalgic about the pile of unmitigated decline that was NWN2, apparently.
Sin Tee is basically a "professional exploiter". He would find a way to cheese and make anything look "too easy".Combat is too easy.

It's fucking garbage under any possible metric.There's absolutely nothing wrong with NWN2, you heathen.
I'd say it's after twinks became overly sexualized among the gays, which is quite a long time after Tolkien.National-Socialism wasn't fond of faggotry usually associated with elves, though.I'm sure if the LotR was written before WW2, the nazis would've appropriated the elves as being obviously superior to other races because they are fair-skinned and generally blond.
Truth be told, it is an association far, far later than Tolkien's works.
Orcs were obviously a commies.At no point did Tolkien ever describe orcs as a whole having dark skin.Decades ago. It's kind of hard to miss when everything with dark skin is metaphysically evil in the books.

I'm mildly concerned this means they're going to pull off another stunt like in DOS2 where all the companions who aren't in your party either die or run off.
You could do that in Original Sin 2. You can fuck Fane when you get on the boat at the end of chapter 1.What the hell, you can fuck your followers as early as act 1?
Have they simply no shame or are they going all-in on trying to appeal to cumbrains and waifufags?
