I buy anything with an ancient rome/greece/china theme, but this seems very cringe.

>snowgoblin attacks player character
>player character uses "empathy"
>hmm the snowgoblin is a fellow creature, he has hopes and dreams, he is only attacking me because he comes from an undeveloped & under-served community of troglodytes, he is a good boy deep down.

or maybe it's just the music and voice acting from that video that has me moving towards a thumbs down. I feel like I'm watching some sort of new-age woke speech from an overly emotional & weak-minded american.

You raise some good concerns in a humorous way , I am hoping the game is not like that

I also get very worried when any East European countries, that produce excellent games I enjoy like Witcher and Inquisitor , start trying to interpret well meaning but corrupted forms of SJW ideology into gaming

We already have enough abominations and mutations of certain games from our friends in the USA where suddenly " a hot women in bikini chainmail armor " is sexist or something similar
The last thing we want from East European gaming companies is where " we have to consider the historical injustice and colonialism the Vampire faced " that explains why it has created an army of undead from the living :D

So, is Doug Cockle (voice of ze witcheroo) a big part of the game or did he get cut? I remember he was a big part of the kickstarter campaign.

He did voice game's intro but whether he voiced anything else is a big question (I assume not).

We also expect the full version to be much better balanced and so even more immersive.​

​

Balanced = Immersive

Orc sees this and raises a brow.

Will wait for the full release to play through.

This games mental stats are based on the Big 5 model, which is genuinly the leading model for categorising the human mind in psychology. You know those MBTI 18 personalities tests that reddit and codex are so fond of? Those are considered outdated bullshit, Big 5 is the successor model and much more accurate.
Idk why it does not just link to a generic test or a wikipedia entry tho.

Not like modern psychology is a real science anyway, with those gender bullshit etc.

I just need to test the demo if I get around to it. I keep thinking this is a psychology test in game form. Hmmm I doubt it'll be as wild as Dungeon AI or whatever that freebie online text game was. That game was always trying to murder me.

Do you really believe social "scientists" when they say this? It seems pretty obvious to me that both models are just different ways of spanning the "personality space" and one is probably not much better or worse than the other. These tests are mostly like "do you like hanging around people? do you like going out? do you like talking to strangers congratz, you are extroverted" No shit, Sherlock.

The big 5 was the basis of the Cambridge Analytica advertising algorithm which has played a part in the success off the brexit vote, as it identified potential pro brexit voters, as high conscientality and low openness to new ideas are both factors much more likely to be found in a conservative, enabling more effective advertisement.

This model is plausible, the status quo, and has produced real world results. Unless you think all psychology is bullshit (which is fairly based but apart from that ultimately fruitless), then I see no reason to critique this specific model. It is the best humanity has at the moment.

How increasingly competent some organizations have grown at manipulating people never ceases to scare me.

Just a friendly debate-counter, Maybe the best conventional psych has, but not certainly the best Humanity has. If you believe conventional methodology is your savior, okay, but more then half the world does not. If everyone did, everyone would all be experiments, and thankofully thy are not.
