Dev Diary #21: Fashion Matters

Holy shit! The devs were not kidding, fashion does matter!

 

[Tyranicon]

Is this a joke?

Ah yes, mechanics that matter instead of building an RPG.

Hey, that would be the first game to have outfit reactivity from NPCs. I won't mind that.

Bloodlines probably had this already, I mean how did NPCs know the player's clan ?

 

[Donald Gordon Lord]

The intro story to Kindred of the East has a trenchcoat-wearing Jap vamp behead a vampire w/ a katana and say "Sayonara gaijin" completely straightfaced so I don't know what everyone's issue is w/ it

 

[The President]

Two more music dev diaries and then a break until next year. Unless they have a Christmas surprise for everyone, it’ll be two or three months at the minimum before we get another gameplay trailer.

Isn't this already a thing in the Fable games?

Either way, they're not reading the room well if they think prioritizing outfits is going to win anybody over.

Ahh, right you are! Forgot about them. It was some time ago.

[jackofshadows]

Morra NPCs react to PC being naked, that was in Arcanum too, even a whole quest was about that.

Especially when the outfits are all terrible.

Has this shit been cancelled yet?

 

[Semiurge]

It will be an interesting contest between DOA Veilguard and this.

I'm going to be charitable and say that VtMB2 looks better so far.

Purpleguard's cringe is in a whole 'nother league.

This is just as woke and has no discernible gameplay on top of that, how much is Paradox paying you?

If I'm on TCR's radar at all, it's for "what's this weirdo porn game people keep spamming on our steam forums?" and not "let's pay that dude to give the most backhanded compliments on a niche rpg site."

Veilguard is a story written for children where all the good guys are very good (even the Antivan Crows), all the previous anti-elf sentiment that existed in the previous games is just gone, and your character can't even be mean. Bloodlines 2 is a game about power-grabbing monsters who backstab each other. Not even close.

Has nothing to do with being woke trash, you dumb tranny.

 

[Skinwalker]

I am very serious. Take a shitshow like The Boys. One of the most woke pieces of trash I've had the displeasure of consooming, and also extremely nihilistic, violent, filled with horrible people, protagonists do terrible things all the time, close-ups of gore and people's anuses, etc. etc. I'm sure you can come up with plenty of video game examples too. Does "God of War" seem like a story written for little kids where all the positive characters are extremely good and no one can ever be mean?

Whoever created this recent idea that "woke" means "sugar-coated and hyper-positive" should be shot in their neovagina. Woke shit is extremely bleak and nihilistic most of the time. Veilguard is an outlier in this respect. And that's not the parameter that determines wokeness at any rate.

In Realms of Arkania, you could get beaten up by townsfolk for running around without pants.

Hopefully.

Henry's come to see us. Alpha Protocol also did it years ago, I remember if you do the subway mission while not wearing any armor, Omen Deng compliments you on trying to blend in. And wearing utility armor to Surkov makes him ask if you're there to fix his computer.

Sounds like Bloodlines (2004).
