Tyranny Pre-Release Thread

First dev blog released

We didn’t want you to be the ‘errand girl of Evil’. If you were just a grunt or a lackey, your ability to influence or change the world would be limited, and your responsibility for the fact that evil won would be reduced.

G-girl? THE SJW AGENDA HAS POISONED TYRANNY WITH THEIR HERETICAL BELIEFS, WHAT'S NEXT OBSIDIAN? THE ANTAGONIST IS A TRANNY? HUH?

 

[Infinitron]

Zzzz, still no actual new information. It's a start, though.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Umm, can I chose my gender there, or am I forced to play a wymynz?

 

[Theldaran]

Ohhhh I see. Being a woman enables you to better "influence and change the world", since women are in charge. If Amber Scott was writing this, the snarky remarks and curt retorts would be everywhere.

 

[prodigydancer]

Since they use PoE engine and assets anyway it wouldn't make any sense to restrict PC's gender.

 

[Infinitron]

Please anyone tell me prodigydancer is right! PLEASE!

Hush and be content to play the Superior Gender.

 

[StrongBelwas]

Man, the Codex really needs to calm their tits.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Btw for the whole Kyros/Kairos debate:
In Greek Kyros is pronounced "KEER-oss" while Kairos is pronounced "kaer-OSS".
So yeah in English they look as if they could be the same thing, but since they're talking about ancient Greek..

but will this game have gyros

Are you serious, or just running the joke into the ground?

I... I don't know.

Which is pronounced "GEE-ross" , not "GAI-ross"

Well, it was supposed to be a Dystopia, right? Of course womenz are running it.

Spoiler

 

[Morgoth]

Wimminz are the best Tyrants. Even if I had a choice in the game, I'd pick the Venus.

In that case I'd insist on an overthrow teh tyrant option.

RPG Codex, one of the laughing stocks of the internet.

 

[Reinar]

If he had written "errand boy of Evil", would you be upset like hell, too, because you're going to be restricted to male PC only? Should he wrote "errand human of Evil instead"?

 

[Sannom]

That Codex's new tag line really feels appropriate, doesn't it?

Umm, can I chose my gender there, or am I forced to play a wymynz?

Well on the screenshots with an implied PC on it, she was a woman so... maybe?

 

[Infinitron]

How can anybody who has read a pen-and-paper RPG manual in the last decade be unfamiliar with the concept of writing with female as default gender

???

That's a thing now? Rather strange for a language with neutral pronouns.

 

[Fry]

Eh.... more like plural pronouns some people insist on misusing as singular neutral.

 

[Excidium II]

Eh.... more like plural pronouns some people insist on misusing as singular neutral.

But it serves the purpose. Many other languages don't even have that luxury to take some liberty with grammar.

 

[Excidium II]

Which books are those anyway, Infinitron?

I guess stuff by Paizo, WOTC, Catalyst Labs, Monte Crook* and other incloosive companies are a given. But I haven't read any of them so I'd never expect to have default gender as female to be a common practice in the RPG world.

Hell nothing I've read even has a default gender except maybe AD&D 2nd Ed. which defaults to male but makes sure to put a disclaimer it's not to be taken as excluding girls from playing the game. And I think that's only on revised book?

*Actually I've skimmed numenderpa to generate a character for the review session but I've erased such details from my memory.
