He said he was racist for disliking the fact the game has a more eastern european setting instead of clean wasp fantasy humans.

 

Or something like that.

I wonder if that is what he meant because I am genuinely interested. I spent over 300 hours playing Witcher 3 and the only racism I remember was the obvious and interesting themes in the game like the bigotry you sometimes come across between humans and elves

I am not gonna lie, if elves did exist then I'd be absolutely racist towards them. I mean you gotta face it: we are humans, they are elves. I'd poop in their mailboxes every night.

 

Thank god elves don't exist, they'd make me into a horrible person.

But Drow are smoking hot, I will never forget the love of my life....Viconia from BG2

Viconia was a stock photo with some minor photoshop work done to it. Bioware pulled the same stunt with Tali in ME3.

That is the MOST terrible thing anyone has said to me since .....2 days ago !!!

Entered Chapter 4 in Tales of Legendia. The game is more fun, than I have anticipated, even though for some people would be the fight model outdated now. It does not hinder my enjoyment of the game. The story progresses pretty fine, cutscenes are not overly long, and random encounters seem balanced as well. I have 5 party members so far.

Besides, in Fairy Fencer F, I’ve amassed 35 million gold so far. I am playing it now only while watching some other stuff on TV or streaming channels, which is like 1-2 hours per week or so . So I think, I might get closer to the 100 million by the end of the summer.

Lies.

Everybody knows Liara Tsoni was the star of the show. Hot squid action!

Look on the bright side, that means there is a real woman that looks like that... or did 20+ years ago.

@KatphoodLet's be real here, the real star of the show was Miranda's behind. The camera was practically glued to it.

It's okay to be racist to elves, because they are unashamed racists themselves. And if they existed, they'd surely out-racist you, lowly human of the lesser races.

 

Miranda's behind was patterned like a soccer ball and I always wanted to kick it. Double so because Miranda was awful and I'm still bitter I couldn't yeet her outta airlock.

[Chilloutman]

Yeah Miranda was annoying but dad arse tho...

Pulling the same stunt?  More likely it was the assigned artist cutting corners on them. I cannot believe that they would have left themselves open—gambling that D&D nerds would not notice. It didn't save them any money either.

[melkathi]

Eh, using photos as a basis is pretty common practice.

[Mamoulian War]

From reading all your comments here, it looks like that Mass Effect Legendary will be loosing it's biggest asset...

[HoonDing]

The original Neverwinter Nights avatars were patched out because many were traced over Hollywood celebrities.

That bard chick was Catherine Zeta-Jones

[Malcador]

They used Kanye for Jacob, right ?

That's a failing of the artist's ability, to have to merely embellish the reference photo. 

Bioware paid them for copyright-able assets, and they provided copied assets; with attached estate managers no less...

It's like the "artist" didn't even try to cover up the fact that it's Angelina Jolie in the far left picture. She has such a recognizable face, a few tatoos ain't gonna cut it as far as fooling anyone that it's an original work. No wonder Bio changed it in a patch, that was a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Huh, didn't realize Robert DeNiro was in the game as well. I am not sure what the trademark rules are here. As someone with no artistic ability, it doesnt really bother me.

[Mamoulian War]

Hurlshot just beat me to answering, who that guy is

If it's a small indie game made by 1 person or even a team of 5, I don't really mind it. I get it, budget is tight, maybe they don't have and/or can't afford a decent character artist. Maybe they're working other jobs to make ends meet. It's fine. But a company the size of Bioware? The worst was with Tali. At that point they were one of EA's crowning jewels. There is no budget or talent constraint excuse I can accept. It's laziness, plain and simple.

[Sarex]

Riot Games has arguably the biggest budget in the world but still do it:
