Well, someone already mentioned it but I think I didn't get it right.

It's going to be 1st person only? Wtf?
I never understood people's problem with that.
What difference does it make? You make the crosshair point at what you want to shoot at/interact with, you click, done.
This is most likely not one of these games where the 3rd person "I can look around corners" trick is going to do much anyway. And besides, that is always possible in 1st person, too.

I am more bothered by 3rd person games, because I have to constantly stare at my characters back. Why waste screen space for that?
Additionally, 3rd person games are way more likely to be infested with "press X to take cover" popamole gameplay.

But who kept sending you chess emails?

Maybe the upcoming Bloodlines Prelude mod will explain that ;)...
Clearly it was the Malkavian Primogen. He even has chess themed floor tiles all over his mansion.

This painting always reminded me of Nicolas Cage. Who, in fact, would be perfect as Malkavian Primogen.

Both him or Kevin Bacon would be perfect for the role.

A Malkavian tranny could be Epic :

:incline: :bounce:

That's what I'd write.


Oh, no, we can't have that. Dr. Frank-N-Furter is a sweet, sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania (aka outer space), which means s/he's an alien and that will portray ALL trannies and transvestites in a "negative light" (I'd burst with joy if I turn out to be an alien). We can't have any representation which deviates from The Narrative.

Ugh, I'm getting bored of this already, while the whole game is going to be like this.

pretty sure they consider that kind of depiction to be "problematic" now

As thesheeep said, to hell with extremists of either side
at the start of the revolution there will a very temporary nazbol synthesis where both the right and the left militants will kill the centrists before duking it out
shortly before both sides get thrown out of helicopters

That's a painting of his wife, though.

e: The texture is named "malkwifepic_texture".

>demonizing already demonized and vulnerable minorities is looked upon poorly and this is somehow stiffing the true freedom of artistic expression(what great talent is there in writing a shock value freakshow with no deeper understanding of anything)
AMAZIN'

you might think you are clever or whatever but literally all of your posts are completely soulless and speak of you as a person with a purely mechanical understanding of the world, you larp someone with an interest in art(especially when it comes to video games) but it's all just soundbites in your posts

beyond that you are a retard and I have found you annoying for years

"""the """narrative"""""""" starts shifting a tad away and you start screeching how it's suddenly impossible to deviate from, of course in the same breath with which you complain about "reactionaries"

that kind of depiction is "problematic" because it is crass, shallow, and vulgar on top of being absolutely clueless

there is nothing brave or valuable(art wise) in doing something like that

shortly before both sides get thrown out of helicopters
based tbh
radical anti ideology(visible) mercenary army would be a good centrist defense force
too bad most of them are too cucked to envision that

You will get 5 different ways of saying "Yes", whoopie.
Tctctc that is not progressive or artful enough. I say,no dialogue choices,you play an oppressed hobo addict of black/native mixed heritage a tranny fairy dragon that wants to destroy the evul white patriarchy and such. You will just play in between cutscenes and you job will be to just move the hobo from a place to b place and get a new dialogue/cutscene.

This all sounds like a gross violation of the NAP.

The problem with the insertion of minorities in games is that they are neither representatives of the wider population nor of the gamers that will buy and play these games. This is everything that needs to be said about this issue. Any suggestion to the contrary should be interpreted as a perverse attempt to hijack games to advance some minorities agenda at the expense of the genre.

Edit: Mental note, Kyl Von Kull is always defending activists in cRPGs.

Good news or worse news depending on your perspective: according to CAvellone, he, CEllison, and bmitsoda are the only writers on this.
https://twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/status/1109543790195306497


Pros: All the people who thought the likes of Tides of Numenera and Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Pillars of Eternity had too many writers will now have something with a unified vision
Cons: Dead State was written solely by Brian and Annie and it was lousy, Brian's already castigated his work on Bloodlines, Cara will have a more-than-trivial influence, for the past few months Chris has been throwing Sawyer under the bus or saying he doesn't write stuff like that anymore where appropriate whenever some prog criticizes some game he worked on for being sexist/racist/whatever.

BTW what did you actually want your new name to be?
basically any part of the opening of the thread which I posted

DU is like very predictable tbh, especially since he has done it like a million times now in exactly the same fashion(inb4 he sees this and changes the name again out of spite - pls dont do it raptor god)

I would have been happy with "something beautiful" which the other person in the thread posted but the initial plan was based around the "like new stuff" bit

This seems hard to believe. There are always various "Additional Writer" credits on games of this size.
what if the game is going to be super short.
