When the game is designed around it it does a lot. But if you've ever played Wrath of the Righteous, there's no way a company like Owlcat could have 10 different major character paths with their own dialogue changes and content, and different good/evil/lawful/chaotic options, with the budget that game had if they also had to voice every line. And I believe they said their next game is going to be fully voiced, though I might be misremembering, but if it is it's unlikely to be as expansive.

I do want to get around to playing it. I like the approach some games have where they will voice the main quest while the side content is text only. I feel that's a good compromise if you don't have the budget. I'm all for more choices but presentation is also very important so you need to find a balance between the two imo. If I have the choice between a game with lots of options but no voice acting and one with less paths but voiced I'll play the second one first every time.

There are indeed stupid and racist people out there that complain about the most absurd things.

Yeah I have looked into the original story, and would have liked a movie for a more mature audience.

So... it's just the black mermaid thing then?
I mean, c'mon man!

Then putting aside fictional characters, why do they changed the ethnicity of historical characters like Julius Cesar, Cleopatra or Joan of arc (among others)?

If they're trying to make a historical movie, I think you should use someone of the same or similar race, sure.
But, if it's a fantastical story with someone who has the name Julius Cesar, Cleopatra or Joan of Arc, then who gives a shit?
Do you think the King Edward from the show My Lady Jane is disrespectful because he is a black actor?
More or less disrespectful than the fact that PEOPLE CHANGE INTO ANIMALS IN THE SHOW?

Plenty of the big game companies waste their time making games they think we want. Or make games that are designed to just make money.

Wish more companies focused on making a good game that everyone will play and will sell millions of copies.

I'm sick of the top of the line graphics for every new big game. Make the game fun, leave it 1080p and 60 fps.
If you want 4k, wait for mods or updates. If you want 8k, go fuck yourself.

So, here’s the thing... Or my take, at least, for what it’s worth.

In an absolutely ideal world, without prejudice, with full equality—anyone can play anyone. Unless their race, gender, or sexuality is a defining part of their characteristics and story. Anyone can play anyone. Tom Hanks playing MLK, I know, was just an extreme example, but it’s a good example of what I think still wouldn’t work—since being Black was a very important part of MLK’s history—but most other changes could work and wouldn’t matter in the slightest.

Same with the "Wakanda played by Asians" thing earlier.

Let’s have a female Einstein and a white Denzel Washington biopic.

Imagine the exploding heads on Twitter.

What you're saying is stupid on both sides, is really just the difference between Equality and Equity.

Oh no, I can see the discussion coming on this one.
I agree with you almost 100% (white Denzel, you crazy bear)

If "Hey" gets a Positive+1 then Sleaze definitely should.
Also, why is Purple Heart neutral? That definitely should be positive too.

@mime, answer for your crimes! I know you're the one in charge of all reactions.

I always thought that the purple heart was for being injured while posting

 

[Monokuma]

That's so true. As an example of how writing styles and conventions have changed I would really suggest giving books like Don Quixote (Cervantes), War and Peace (Tolstoy) and Moby Dick (Melville) a try. Don Quixote in particular is considered by academics to be the first 'modern' novel. I will admit that I think the word modern is doing a great deal of heavy lifting there.

Edit :- Also as a Brit how could I have neglected to mention Dickens. Or Conan-Doyle. Or Pratchett.

Cervantes,
Melville,
Tolstoy,
Dickens,
Conan-Doyle,
Pratchett.

You need a few entries after after Cervantes to get the timeline truly fleshed out. Austen, maybe? Milton?

The DM I received once my account was activated/approved was pretty cool. All the rules explained and linked to the rest. Coins is an... interesting choice, but if that's how the place works then coins it is. I like that there's thought that goes into how the site is run.

I won't sleep until my mermaids are ugly and transparent! Having evolved for a long time at the bottom of the ocean with no exposure to sunlight.

Oh no, I can see the discussion coming on this one.

Haha. It'll be the same crowd as "All Lives Matter" and "Not All Men".
People don't understand the nuance. Or, they just choose to ignore it because it makes them uncomfortable... Or, because it doesn't serve their purposes...

I agree with you almost 100% (white Denzel, you crazy bear)

That was part of my fantasy scenario. I was being a bit facetious

For real though, who would you cast as White Denzel?

You can catch bubbles!?

I keep trying but they always disappear! I'm pretty sure it's a conspiracy against me...

I'd cast denzel as white denzel. White face and black face are equally amusing to me. Probably because it upsets people.

Just going off of what I could remember that I have in my personal library. If I was at home and had access to the full contents I may have been able to do better. I do tend to go through phases of reading older 'classics'. Thinking now I may have Ivanhoe by Walter Scott, which is a story that is notable for being one of the first literary works to include a character that is recognisable to modern readers as Robin Hood if I remember correctly. I don't have any Austen or Milton yet. No Twain either.

Now I'm curious if your Raccoon markings are actually inverse and it's just good makeup...

Yep. Added it earlier.

If I get a mention with a head it usually gets added (sometimes I'm blind), if a head is posted in the head thread it always gets added.
