I pick human and it's a nigger

There are more niggers then white pipo on this earth. Why do SJWs always want companies to cater to a minority?

Most people who play games are White (though increasingly also spics and other immigrant types).

The Chinese and Indians might have a word with you about that bold claim.

And niggers? If you want to use the worldwide distribution for representation, most of those are living in mud huts eating fly-infested mud pies.

Although it's shifting gradually, videogames are still played mainly by young White men - which is of course a big reason for SJWs to whinge and whine about "diversity" and all that bullshit.

Spicks are White as well. What you mean is likely White Anglo-Saxon.

Eh, some of them are literally Hispanic and therefore White, yes, the Frankish-descended (surprisingly often blonde, even Nordic-looking) remnants of the various South American ruling classes; but "Hispanic" in general usage seems to include a lot of mystery meat (mestizo, etc.). The terms "Latino" and "Hispanic" seem to be quite fuzzy (deliberately so, I should think).

Switched color of beard and that fixed it. Went back to the ligher brown and the pink stripes are back. I think it's a bug affecting some specific color shades.

No option to save progress during character creation that i can see. I checked if it does it automatically, but upon quitting and restarting the process i'm back to square one having to change the default black preset. Goodie.

Game should give you premade characters to use as template, the randomize option is next to useless.

Probably true for CRPGS, but most games are played by Asians.

Asians LARPing as white people in their own games lmao.

I wuz gonna say lol - you're proving my contention that the (obviously bugged) "Only 0.1% of the player pop have completed the prologue" on Steam achievements is the result of most people still being stuck in the character creator, stroking their, ahem, beards.

I don't have time to play today until later tonight. I'm waiting to get called back to work so i'm just dicking around the character creation for now lmao.

Of course, i do enjoy spending a lot of time in the character creation screen but in this game there isn't a whole lot to do from what i've seen. Nothing like waisting five hours manually rerolling stats in BG to get the most OP result possible lul.

got bitchslapped by some pink frog...
Taken any rests by now?

EDIT: I find it very funny that every companion has this fancy elaborated tent palace at their disposal, then proceeds to sleep in a moldy sleaping bag around the campfire. Immersuhnfags will be mad about this, call it the worst resting mechanic ever.

Yeah a lot of that is streamlined away in 5e it seems. The attribute stats are much more tightly controlled (e.g. you can't go above 20 except artificially via per-rest potions, which are at various capped strengths).

As a stone-gone buildfag who loves the build complexity of games like Path of Exile, Pathfinder and Troubleshooter, it's definitely a cost for me, but the compensation is that the 5e combat flows very nicely. It's a different feel from older D&D and Pathfinder, and while it's less simulationist in some ways (e.g. in the sense of real world items having mathematized representations), it's more simulationist in the psychological sense that it feels more like "real combat" while you're playing it. Swings and roundabouts.

Yeah none of the weapons are really making me get excited over even the legendary stuff.

It's all pretty boring. The best I've found is to stack elemental die on your attacks. Froggy is doing huge single target damage.

I think that's actually how a lot of the "Cool, I've stumbled across an awesomebutton!" feel of classic BG is being honoured in this game - as opposed to introducing things that are OP via stats, which would have broken the tight control over stats that 5e has.

Like, I found a mace that gives Shadowtits an extra bonus spell she can cast that's quite hefty and handy.

GUYS! I JUST LEARNED SHORT REST IS FREE HALF HP HEAL AND YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO FUCK ANYONE!
My god, you're not joking, and you really didn't know that? :)

Is this why so many people complain of romances advancing too fast?

Just because I read the 5e PHB I already feel as superior as I did back in 2000 when I was the only one around who could explain how THAC0 works and why lower armor class is better. :obviously:
