He's switching sides again. It's all a progression. 1: He starts as a nazi. 2: He takes a step in the right direction and becomes a SJW. <--- Annoying as they are; I'd take a SJW over a nazi. 3: He's taking another step in the right direction and is going to be critical of both GG and SJW's. 4: Eventually he'll take another step and say he's more sympathetic to GG than SJW's. The trend will keep going until he's a straight up right wing libertarian. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

Here's a fun tangent: Did you know that when a guy comments on a girl's ass and says she's got a nice ass, he's actually subconciously and completely instinctually recognizing that she's got healthy birthing hips and is more likely to provide a safe and healthy birth? I'm afraid I heard this years ago so I don't have a source on that, but during my google search I did find this: http://elitedaily.com/news/world/scientists-think-women-bigger-butts-produce-smarter-children/916018/ The above link at least attests to the fact that I'm not lying and yes, this is a real science that actual people in actual labcoats investigate. Interesting stuff. Biology is smart. Very smart. And while I'm by no means trying to say that ugly people are universal failures that can't produce anything good, I merely want to highlight that there is a method to the madness of attractiveness, so shaming attractiveness and trying to go against it is a bit counter-intuitive. Not to mention how ideological it is, and therefore horrendously impractical. Case example: the USA does not realize how strong it's capitalism game is. Advertisements in the USA are flawless. Comparatively, German ads are more relaxed. Our models in ads often aren't picture perfect or they have something noticeable like a scar on their cheek or whatever. First, it comes across as more amateur and not to be taken seriously, and secondly, the stuff like scars or squinty eyes or whatever does distract from the ad itself, because at the very least you catch yourself staring and asking "I wonder why they chose this person since here I am now questioning why they chose them because it distracts from the ad, and therefore continues to do so." I would not expect to be shown in an advertisement brandishing my prosthetic on full display so everyone sees my leg is fake because it distracts from the purpose. As such, good luck ever convincing business and marketing to buy into this kind of stuff. EDIT: Derpy me, I linked that source just to make a point and chose to read it once I was done. The article directly references the other study I read years ago, so viola. Edited May 28, 2015 by Longknife "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far.

If a dev goes, "I don't wanna make a brothel ." It's not case of censorship. If some one forced Bioware to not have a brothel; that'd be a different story. Not including features you like, even if they were inspired by feminism (which as far as I know might not even be the case) is not censorship. - removal of hot boob plate armor Boob plate is annoying and stupid.

Oerwinde Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yeah, I read somewhere that not making the female characters attractive was a stylistic choice by the creators, not some sort of caving to outside pressure. So while its a questionable choice, there isn't anything really wrong with it. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Zoraptor Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 The DAI decisions were a bit odd given that they were pretty much exact reverse of the ME3 visual design decisions where Ashley and Liara both got some augmentation from the earlier games and you had an invasion of Jersey Shore extras as well.

Nonek Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yes one can't look at the Maypole being erected on the green in the same light either, surprising how much of that kind of stuff veins through society. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 While I'm not a huge fan of boob plate overall, I'm not bothered by it either. I'm a heck of a lot less bothered by it than by obscenely gigantic (often spiky) pauldrons, I really hate that trend, but that's a personal pet peeve. It really comes down to stylistic choice and whether it fits within the context of the game/setting. For example, if your game has exaggerated, hyper sexualized characters (think Dragon Crown) then mail bikinis and boob plate fit perfectly. Likewise, if you are making a game that takes place in a scorching hot desert or jungle environment, loincloths and skimpy outfits make perfect sense, since wearing heavy full armor would be rather uncomfortable, if not detrimental to your health. On the other hand, if your game takes place in a temperate environment and the aesthetic looks to mimic real medieval armor (think Pillars) then a mail bikini would feel quite out of place in a game like that.

GhoulishVisage Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Why is red lipstick attractive? My personal theory, completely unsupported by anything, is that it's because red is the colour of arousal. An aroused person often looks flushed and pink. Red cosmetics, such as blushes and lipsticks send subconscious messages to our brains that we should find this attractive. When in doubt, blame the elves.
