From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

I hope fromdrones don't infest DD2 thread and offtop in it, it's kinda annoying.

I am a fromdrone, so when I say DD2 is better than Elden Ring, it is an objective fact.

Either From are cucking to youtube voice overs or some mod has them signing NDAs to do guest voice work. Seen a few doing it while looking for background noise.

Why would FS hire some youtubers when they have an access to professional British play actors who contribute a lot to their games' atmosphere? I bet it's some "soulslike" devs that hired them to get streamer's user base interested in their inferior imitation.

Do you post about Elden Ring in DD2 thread most of the time?

Just further proof that this guy's a schizo, and/or a zoomer that isn't privy to how Japanese studios do things.

If anything he's doing the opposite, and I just aided and abetted him because he baited me

It's arguably their best recent game. RE3 has Jill and she's a trump card. ANYWAY me and med have around 400 combined hours. 80 ain't shit son. You're a grunt!

Yeah, It's called having a life, dude... try it sometime.

Unfortunately From have increasingly pandered to those people and reddit in general. I wouldn't put it past them to give some useless NPC a youtuber voice. From make the majority of their money from Steam sales so the western market isn't far from their mind. I suspect we may see a reference to the fag who ruined Millenia for some many people some where in the DLC.

The player character exists independently of you and is a part of the world, you're just telling them what to do.

Yea, it's the "telling them what to do" at every single moment of playing the game that makes the player character an avatar, a miniature *you* in that world. Apparently, you are a womynz. No wonder people think you're a tranny.

 

[Child of Malkav]

Uh, when you play a game you temporarily inhabit (with your mind) a vessel (player character) and see and do things through its eyes. The player character (the model, animations, textures, part in the world and story, lore) is part of that world not you who controls that PC. How the hell does this need to be explained?

Wait, you have third person camera in your eyes? I'm stuck with a first person one!

Yes, and I maintain that it is transsexual to inhabit a vessel that is a different gender than your own. It is at the very minimum a form of crossdressing/trasvestitism.

Yes, and I maintain that it is transsexual to inhabit a vessel that is a different gender than your own. It is at the very minimum a form of crossdressing/trasvestitism.

The vessel is a tool through which you interact with that virtual world. In one game you control a woman, in another a gnome, in others a goblin, or an elf or a dwarf or whatever else. In GTA SA you control a black chatacter. In the ballad if gay Tony you control a Dominican one. You start to sound like one of my faculty colleagues who maintained that killing NPCs in videogames is like killing people in real life. Or the mental state of it or something.
So what, when you play other games where you can choose different species to play as, you always play human? For example in BG3.

There's a difference here.

If I want to play Tomb Raider I have no choice but to play as Lara. I wouldn't say that's questionable because I have no choice in the matter. I am 'forced' into playing as a woman if I want to experience the game.

If I choose to make a female character in Elden ring I am making a choice to be a woman. And in my experience the type of people who do this are either transexuals or they make a fetish character they want to fuck. Instead of a power fantasy of a man conquering and pillaging, it's a blow up sex doll in digital form. You're choosing to play as a woman for either of the above reasons and that woman will be acting masculine. She will be performing a male role and often beating up men and being physically superior. Which snowballs into vastly more fetishistic territory for a lot of the people doing it.

People choosing to have a female avatar are weird. Even if it's a woman doing it, it's still weird. Unless a game gives -4 str they don't deserve to be a playable option.

Yes you do. You have the choice of not playing Womb Raider. It's not that hard to skip all the female protagonist games. I did it, you can do it too.

Then I wouldn't get to enjoy swan diving Lara into the floor.

Just an example. Replace with any other game that gives similar choices.

The only RPG I've chosen to play as a female character was VTM:Bloodlines because if I have the choice I prefer to watch a girl suck on things.

Don't recall the last time I chose to play as anyone other than a human or an elf. Definitely never played a dwarf.

I gave examples of games where you are also "forced" to play as an established character since the story of the game is centered and custom to that specific character.
As for the rest of the psychological babble I don't know what others experience or view themselves as. For me, those are nothing but vessels, empty space to be temporarily occupied. If it looks appealing then cool, something to distract me from time to time.
And if the woman PC model happens to look good that's what I'm choosing. In the case of ER and other soulsborne games I'm playing a dude because the only difference between a man and a woman in those games is just how the in-game model looks and the sounds it plays. Otherwise it has the same male skeleton, animations, movesets etc.
In case of other games where there are gameplay differences I'll have to think on a case by case basis.

Dragon Age Origins for example. Different origins per species. Dwarves also are locked and cannot be mages, for one.
Whatever, play as you like. To me, people who get into the characters they're playing may have some issues.

You retards have completely derailed the thread. Move this to GD, where it belongs.

Anyway, Radahn went down on the third try. On the first try he got me with an arrow (low vigor), on the second I moved too close to him and he bonked me. Not a big deal, I expected this fight to be much, much harder. Now I regret using Rock Sling, the thing is crazy lol.

Radahn was seriously nerfed in an early patch. He's not the monster he used to be.

And his horse is still retarded.

This is not to say that attractive women exist in FS games. They don't, aside from the famous NPC with giant milkers.

Do you post about Elden Ring in DD2 thread most of the time?

No. Why would I? It's inferior. Here's a little known fact: I greatly contributed to Elden Ring winning GOTY here. It's not a bias or hate thing towards Elden Ring. DD2 is simply the better game in most aspects and I deal in truth.
