Are we gonna have the "all rpgs are inherently conservative" debate again now? :M

I guess I must have missed that one. Not from my point of view. I'm specifically talking about tone here, and specifically about the FR. And the FR, for me, are like some Hollywood version of the American frontier, just with some exotic window dressing, and people there principally behave like they behaved when the setting was written, so basically modern. Any mushroom-eating hippies are fine for the setting. Also, the creator had a hard time writing anything without sexual innuendo, so that isn't specifically out of place, either.

That doesn't excuse the specific Beamdog twist on things, but cringy romances were basically what much of BG modding has been about for decades now.

Yeah, that's what I said.

Beamdog should have played it safe and stuck to Python-esque dialogue.

She was fired after SoD right?

She left for "personal reasons", aka it's bullshit and they fired her but let her go out with some "dignity" instead of being officially marked as the reason why SoD sucked.

Yeah, but I meant with the main character. Unless you count that one-off werewolf which comes out of nowhere. They didn't add gay romances among NPCs either.

From what I heard in some bg forum, that "female" werewolf male charname met is actually flagged as "male" in gender.:codexisforindividualswithgenderidentityissues:

Someone bored enough to check it in nearinfinity?:roll:

The problem with shitty writers is not just their shitty writings. It is that they think they write the good shits. And they attempt to force their writings into people's throats.

In the old days amateur writers ambush unsuspected victims and read for them. In these days and ages of enlightenment, amateur writers go into game development.

Fuck Beamdog writings!

What does one mistake matter? The point is they're totally fucked up and add faggots and other sick people in ridiculous amounts.

Isn't it about time there is a subforum dedicated to Beamdog Studios?

They're hacks who have never made their own IP, they don't deserve their own subforum. And with a bit of luck they will die soon enough anyway.
