Who are you?

[Karkarov]

We all wear masks, metaphorically speaking. We suppress the id, our darkest desires... and adopt a more socially acceptable image.

So what you are saying is that Ben Stein is actually Ferris Bueller?

I know this might sound strange to some, but I would love to see some actual cultural positive latinamerican tropes. Being from a far away place and being exposed constantly to classical english fantasy tropes I must say theres a lot of RL white european tropes mixed in there.

 

If this game wants to portray realistic societies and NPCS, I think they all need to stay away from white european knights, scholarly asian based cultures and dark skinned foreign "arabic" themes ...

 

In Latinamerica alone there are neighbouring countries that not only do not even remotely speak the same language sometimes, even when both speak spanish, but every 100km there are such contrasts in customs , even within the same country that you could literally be in another.

 

I for once , following this trend, would be a local machete wielding medicine man (called Mojan where I am from) that deals with polymorphing techniques into several trees,animals and even rocks to deal with unfriendly medicine men, spirits and angry enemy tribes as I drink rum and smoke tobacco to appease my Patron and ask for more powers. I would go at the forefront of incursions into enemy lands to steal cattle and women shielding my apprentices and protecting the sneaky shadowbound warriors ( that could be another class or npc on their own that use bow and arrows to kill silently, and they are actual units in our real life military in Venezuela that work alone or in packs defending our jungle heavy borders with Brasil and Colombia, mostly targetting drug lord armies and para military armies of no known allegiance)

 

Theres so much stuff to take away from Latinamerica in terms of fully fleshed magical and earthly NPCS.

 

Would love to see a bigger influence in modern games, thats all

 

Cheers!

Kind of way-too-late, brudder. Enit.

 

Not even touching on the dangerous levels of stereotyping. Except to make a joke about ancient indian burial grounds on account of the dead rising from their metaphorical graves here.

i dont. i do what i want and to hell with whoever doesnt like it. i do not conform to what others expect of me to be like

I don't think that's what's being meant by masks tekoman2. Non-conformist or not, everyone has some basic psychological reactions and defences. You use there even if you're not aware of them.

I'm Candid.

 

I came here for the first time a few days ago to drop my would-have-been epitaph for backer perusal, because it was much too long to actually use (should have checked the limit first, bah).

 

Now I think I'm a regular. Or I will be.

 

Nice to meet you all.

trust me, if i was on the DC universe, i'd be joker... a chaotic neutral version, but in essense a guy who does not give a dime about anything or anyone as long as he has fun
