  1. Well on a few percent of people identify as dwarves so it's not worth pandering to them. The silent majority identify as humans so, really, we should get rid of all other races. Someone got Pretty Angry over people telling the blunt truth it appears. And the Blunt Truth is that non-human races are played at much lower rates than humans in rpgs. Since few players choose to play as Orlans or Dwarves why should we not get rid of the option 10% will use for a better expereince for the 90%? You want those races removed ?
  2. Hah no! I realised there was little point actually engaging with you so I thought I'd have some fun mocking your arguments. I was actually having fun and wasn't in the least bit angry. So you treat this as battle and merely switched tactics. I guess some people will push their views By Any Means Necessary. I Hope you mind me striking back throught. I seriously hope The second part of your name isnt indicative of your inner nature.
  3. Indeed. I can't say that choosing a non-binary gender would particularly interest me, since it would presumably have a very small impact on the game*, but the fact that I am a fairly traditional straight, white (cis-)male doesn't mean I'm not interested in exploring themes related to minorities I'm not a part of, or even simply playing something that I'm not. *It would also probably be incredibly easy to implement since presumably all dialogue in the game already has a gender variable that reads off the main character's gender and spits out the appropriate pronoun. All you'd need to do is add one of more additional options and outputs. and you again run into One problem. How would Npcs know ? Will Player PC go. Hi Im "insert pronouns". Or will the Npcs just magically know your pronouns ? I dont think that will be very Immersive.
  4. How the hell did you do that archivement. I barely got throught game with Trial of Iron and Path of the Damned. If it were without companions Id propably die fairly early. lol I feel ya. But here is an example: Jesus christ Thats incredibly precise and efficient. Its like Fantasy Terminator dismatling the problem Without mercy. And then there is incredibly Versatile Rogue that shreds enemies. This will be real treat. Thanks.

  6. Someone desperately wants some kind of negative response it appears. JerekKruger made a good point with the dwarfs. So please ... don't try to dismiss it in such a primitive fashion. You are only embarrasing yourself. Im not dismising. You dont have unlimited resources. you use them for content for 8-10%(im counting even people who are interested even if they are not that kind) well you used them, when they could have been used to create more content. MORE PLAYERS would enjoy, you know the 90%.

  8. Is it really a 0 sum equation? ie does content being made that appeals to a lesser percentage of the players mean that there's no content of appeal to the higher percentage of players. Or that the existence of the content for the smaller group turn off the larger? Just noticed this. This is one hell of typo :D Must be something weird on your end, the post looks perfectly fine on my end. its not exactly zero Sum but point is there is sort of limit when its using time better used elsewhere to satisfy tiny minority. Ie LGBT content actuality has some return even if its lesser due to % but this pronoun stuff ? i dont think so. http://imgur.com/a/Xx4cL I Sincelery apologize for, It Appears my grammar correction now works(buggily) posts of other people as the screen clearly shows
  9. You have black people in it and they are completely equal. You have at least a lesbian. Not shure about the sexual orientation of other characters. I don't give much attention to those things. You have different degrees of equality between man and woman depending on the cultural background. Not to mention all those things that are hidden between the lines. Noone asked for that. This thread is just for a third gender option. A variable. Nothing more. We are not even talking about representation here. It does not make much sense that anyone would react to it. So it's mostly about pronouns, a thing that is already implemented for male and female and just has to be expanded by a third variable. This is not like romance options which take an enormous amount of work that could be spent better in my opinion. Muhaha! White, sexist, homophobic people are a silent minority. Of course. In Germany we have a term for that kind of talk. Don't know, if it's internationally used. We call it Mimimi. Silent minority... We have such a silent minority here (again). Silently they are shouting in the streets: "Deutschland den Deutschen!". Silently they are burning asylums for refugees. Silently they are stating on TV, that Hitler wasn't that bad and we were a victim of the allied forces. And just like you did, they claim to represent all the other good white people. So why are you so keen on proving that 7% is not a high enough number of people to consider that option? Why are you so keen on proving that you are part of the "normal" people? Oh, and I dont assasinate your character, I question your intentions. That's different. Besides: Your argumentation would finally lead to kick out every minority from the game. Would be a fun game. No black people. No Orlans, Glanfathians or Amaua as they are representing other cultures or even majorities (How disgusting). No quest for Aloth. Pallegina wouldn't even be there. Just brave and honest white people killing goblins. Would that be to your taste? Maybe you should try Diablo. How do you come to that conclusion? Do you really think, that there are much people like you, that wouldn't buy that game, just because of a gender variable? (Funny, sometimes you claim to be the minority, sometimes not). It's a role playing game. I for one would think it's funny to play as it or they. I also think it would be funny to play as a gay person. In the current PoE this would not even make a difference as the only spot in the game where it would affect my decisions is the Salty Mast, which is kind of pointless. So you can count me to that 7% in regards of returns. Not to mention all those sensible people out there that don't give a ****. Why do you even bother? No one tries to take away things from you. We are not talking about a considerable amount of development time, believe me, I know what I am talking about. I can't get rid of the feeling that all you are trying to do, is taking away things from others. Muhaha! White, sexist, homophobic people are a silent minority. Of course. In Germany we have a term for that kind of talk. Don't know, if it's internationally used. We call it Mimimi. I think its quite Telling how you Mention the Race, homophoby and sexist doesnt exist in black people ? Silent minority... We have such a silent minority here (again). Silently they are shouting in the streets: "Deutschland den Deutschen!". Silently they are burning asylums for refugees. Silently they are stating on TV, that Hitler wasn't that bad and we were a victim of the allied forces. And just like you did, they claim to represent all the other good white people. - Oh so you use Nazis as a way to discredit everyone on the right side. So why are you so keen on proving that 7% is not a high enough number of people to consider that option? Why are you so keen on proving that you are part of the "normal" people? Oh, and I dont assasinate your character, I question your intentions. That's different. Besides: Your argumentation would finally lead to kick out every minority from the game. Would be a fun game.

Just brave and honest white people killing goblins. Would that be to your taste? Maybe you should try Diablo. This is biggest use of add absurdum. How is saying devs shouldnt waste time with pronoun bull**** wanting to remove every minority from game ?. How do you come to that conclusion? Do you really think, that there are much people like you, that wouldn't buy that game, just because of a gender variable? (Funny, sometimes you claim to be the minority, sometimes not). It's a role playing game. I for one would think it's funny to play as it or they. I also think it would be funny to play as a gay person.

We are not talking about a considerable amount of development time, believe me, I know what I am talking about. I can't get rid of the feeling that all you are trying to do, is taking away things from others. I dont think Devs should waste time with bull****, simply as that. And no im not asking Something to be removed, Im just questioning the Wisdom of even working on that. And this part It does not make much sense that anyone would react to it. So it's mostly about pronouns, a thing that is already implemented for male and female and just has to be expanded by a third variable. This is not like romance options which take an enormous amount of work that could be spent better in my opinion. So you are saying Pronouns are more important than romances ? Also how would Even Npcs know your pronouns ? Do You Intend to Shout it from Rooftop so to speak ? Or Are the Npcs magically going to know your pronouns ?
  10. The comment about not allowing unlimited numbers of young men from Muslim countries into a country considering the present issues of terrorism and lack of assimilation sounds prudent to me. Maybe you and your thought police buddies should track me down and try to get me fired as well? So you'd be fine with a company with conservatives in charge policing the internet for employee posts and firing anyone who supported Bernie Sanders (socialism) or Black Lives Matter (racism) and firing them? is a serious question? answer is obvious a "yes." you got an opinion that widgets made by Generico is the worst widgets on the market. furthermore, you share opinion, with any who will listen, that Generico is a monolithic and evil corporation which exploits slave wage labor in south east asia, pollutes the environment, and hates old people, children and dogs. oh, and you work for Generico. of course you can be fired for voicing legal but distasteful opinions. as an at-will employee (am assuming no contract) chances are you can be fired for any reason, or no reason at all... just as long as the reason itself is not violating a law. e.g. whistleblower statues, and civil rights violations. as we noted already, there is a valid question 'bout whether a business should fire folks for their offensive opinions, but able to? able is not actual at issue. HA! Good Fun! Let me re-phrase then, should a company have the right? Also isn't being fired for your opinion a violation of your civil rights? In your example the employee is bad mouthing the products of his employer, for sure that should get you fired. What about the example of voicing an opinion on immigration when your employer is a game developer? Lets also note that what he Suggested is Actually CANADA's imigration policy. so here is that.
  11. Your argument is, that 7-8% percent or whatever numbers you pciked out your nose of all people are gay or something. So they should not be included, because that would be unfair towards, ... i dont know ... heteerosexual people or other minorites or something. Your "argument" is totally invalid. - First: because heterosexual people and other minorities are already included in the game. - Second: because the only thing that can be concluded from your blablabla is that 7% of all characters in the game should be gay or something - Third: because this isn't about including something that would exclude others, or would lead to a more demands from excluded others. What possible gender options could there be besides he, she and it/them? - Fourth: The percentage of stupid ****tards like you is below 1%. The returns ... diminishing ... bla bla bal Please excuse me bad english and shallow argumentation. You didn't take the time to check your "argument" for spelling errors, so as writing english is not easy for me, I thought I could spare the thinking. Okay i be blunt. You Want to Make Content for Lesser Percentage of Players, Rather than Higher Percentage of Players. Its Not Economic in Terms of Time and resources. - First: because heterosexual people and other minorities are already included in the game. - You seem desilusional in this one. Second: because the only thing that can be concluded from your blablabla is that 7% of all characters in the game should be gay or something- Purposeful Misinpretation, i said that because 7% of Population is LGBT that Doesnt Mean they should get 50% of Content Like its in Bioware Games. - Third: because this isn't about including something that would exclude others, or would lead to a more demands from excluded others. What possible gender options could there be besides he, she and it/them?- So you want Gender opinion to which character wont reacts ? Or you want Extra work to be spent on this so its More than Bull**** Pronoun Issue ? - Fourth: The percentage of stupid ****tards like you is below 1%. The returns ... diminishing ... bla bla bal - Its bla bla bla not bla bla bal. Also Insulting me because i dont agree with you ? Saying that percentage of people that Dont think We have to Pander is less than 1% is frankly innacurate. You know the whole silent majority in American election.
  12. Raedric hold jeez I meant the Village under it. Sorry for confusion its some time since i played it. I meant The tree. Yeah sadly Obsidian was put into **** position not helped by the fact that part of gaming media is symphatetic to ghazi types. And I doubt obsidian wants to piss them off What with them remembering the whole Fallout new Vegas Thing. Gah. What was the Thing with FNV? And seriously, the tree was just dark, not offensive. I'd have to go listen to the developer commentary about it again. I think they said they force a conversation there because they want the player to see it because it makes a point about the setting. I be blunt some rewiers would have let this Impact Rewiew scores if The Writer wasnt "Resigned". Due to their bias
  13. Do you smoulder with generic rage? So you are insulting somebody who is outraged about this. i have to wonder why you do that.
  14. well, in the US, getting charged for a hate crime based on a twitter or facebook post is almost ridiculous unlikely. first amendment protections is a bit different than eu or german free speech protections. even so, am in agreement 'bout social media, but Gromnir has never quite grasped the window/mirror o' social media. our need for external validation is almost non-existent, and our curiosity 'bout the day-to-day thoughts and doings o' people outside our immediate circle o' friends is negligible. even so, am conscientious o' the fact that posting as Gromnir has effective killed any chance we will ever be a judge. is not simple 'cause o' the Gromnir persona, but on such boards as these we admitted, more than once, we ain't a fan o' the law of Brown v. Board of Education. the Justices did the right thing, the moral thing, by ending school segregation, but the legal reasoning for the decision were weak and having a Court make law, instead of leaving to democratic process, arguable resulted in a decade o' blood and fire. no doubt you couldn't care less 'bout our feelings regarding brown v. board, but if we were ever being considered for a place on the bench, somebody would go through our history with gusto looking for any possible references brown v. board or roe v. wade. kinda wacky to think how posts on a game board from as far back as the mid 90s could handicap our career, but am not naive 'bout the reality. HA! Good Fun! Well thi is nice attempt at derail.
  15. Arguably they're not required to not choose to represent any particular group of people either. I'd hope that whatever characters Obsidian creates fits the setting, and fits the character they want to create and ultimately works as an interesting character in game. Yep i prefer quality over representation. A merit of the writing over diversity of it.
  16. Who knows indeed. Im afraid that this might be just first step on slope. Afterall Hitler didnt suddenly come to power in germany and proceeded to invade russia minute later. if you get what i mean.
  17. Raedric hold jeez I meant the Village under it. Sorry for confusion its some time since i played it. I meant The tree.

  18. So like I'm sure you'd call me an SJW (with all the misunderstanding applying that label entails) and I've been around since Black Isle. I'm not unique. Not that there's any indication that anyone pressured Obsidian to fire the guy, or that Obsidian pressured the guy to quit. So you think guy should have been fired for his opinions ?
  19. One of my favorite Lovecraft facts is that toward the end of his life he stated that the opinions of his younger self were incredibly foolish, misguided, and obnoxious. Aka, the biggest racist of fiction in the last century thought he was being an idiot when espousing those views. I dont know how Is Lovecraft relevant to this discusion. This to me seems to me like what would be called virtue signaling. Furthermore are you really comparing Opinions of the Writer to Lovecrafts ? Im i understanding it right ?
