Torment Torment: Tides of Numenera Pre-Release Thread [ALPHA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Commissar Draco]

I know I want to have a social and/or combat pet whose body I can inhabit and trick NPCs and finally discover what can change the nature of a puppy.

In before BSN rejects asking for furry animu pets to f... Please don't give them ideas Codex.

 

[Kosmonaut]

You don't list Hunted: The Demon's Forge on your website. How did you feel about that project?

 

[Brother None]

I guess someone will collect and arrange all of it for easy reading... maybe some line producer?

Sure, if I can find the time for it (Adam's been pushing some extra work my way, thanks bruh!) Can't one of you guys do it instead? I volunteer Infinitron

Unsurprisingly, this...

Is probably one of my favorite dystopian/sci-fi novels.

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Pretty awesome book, for taste.

Did a comparative analysis of this and 1984 in 11th grade in russian school. Was fucking surprised that it was even part of curriculum. Turned out 1984 wasn't, and "Мы" was "highly optional". The teacher would be ranked as true bro if he wasn't so good looking and had half the girls awwwing for him.

Instead of presenting the material in a straightforward, no-nonsense way, the material is presented in a way that draws attention to it. It then feels like fan-service, like aiming toward a certain group and specifically excluding others

"Gay people are only okay if they're hidden away someplace and not offending the straights." Check your privilege Colin.

Your satisfaction didn't last long

Very nice of Chris Roberts to do that.

 

[Jaesun]

Roguey needs to try harder.

 

[Roguey]

Oh and I missed

Would you rather:
Falls-From-Grace or Anna?
[–]ksaun

Falls-From-Grace, fatal though it may be.

I hope Lesifoere is seeing some of these red flags. As a Torment fangirl she will no doubt go over this thing with a figurative fine toothed comb for problematic and fauxgressive content.

Ouch, where't he Chris Roberts shoutout to Shroud of the Avatar? Garriott even namedropped him as being one of the best devs and this is the thanks he gets?

 

[evdk]

She doesn't see red flags, she just sees red. If you expected some social justice revolution from a team comprised mostly of middle aged white dudes (and no Sawyer in sight) you are for a surprise I'd say.

I think you would have to try to have content more problematic than Deionarra and Annah.

Also, is expressing attraction to a character really a red flag or am I missing some subtext?

In before Guido Henkel gives a shoutout to Shroud of the Avatar.

Women showing attraction to a man is bad bad bad.

It would have been fine, if say, Dak'kon or Morte would have expressed some desire to be butt/skull-fucked by TNO, though.

True, true.

The question is "Which one of these bitches would you want to fuck?" It shouldn't be dignified with a response.

 

[Jaesun]

The word fuck was not in the question.

 

[evdk]

Remember!

Roguey needs to try harder.

Well I'll just point out this is a reddit ama, where you're supposed to answer questions no matter how personally distasteful.

Um roguey is full of shit as usual. The question did not say "fuck".

 

[Infinitron]

"Which one of these ladies would you want to flesh couple with?"

 

[Diablo169]

I personally didn't get any homophobic vibes from Colin's answer, hes absolutely correct that the way Bioware presents relationships and romance is ridiculous. There is nothing remotely realistic about it, and its thrown in your face. I'm talking about any sexual orientation here ....
