She is actually a joke, if you interact with her there first of all zero sex you sick fuck, second it mentally deficient and speaks like an actual retard, and all dialog options basically sort of tongue in cheek.
Also, the dead giveaway is - game toggles that track that signifies a joke, you know the one it was in Kingmaker during debates quest.

If your writer is relying upon a laugh track to tell a joke then they've failed at comedic writing. That tells me that their writers are subpar and the dev team supported this poor decision.
It does not rely on it. It (track) compliments it. It's like saying that your combat sucks if you need combat track to show that it's combat.Dumb joke is dumb, it's basically poop joke.

Invalid comparison logical fallacy. You said, "GUYZ GUYZ IT'S FUNNY 'CUZ IT'S GOT A LAUGH TRACK!!ONE1!" Music doesn't impact or improve the combat mechanics while the laugh track does tend to help the piss poor writing. The reason why is that in psychology people tend to laugh at the same things due to our brains hearing the laughter and goes I should laugh to be part of the crowd.

So you're into scat and other abnormal sexual deviancy huh? I've never in my 52 years of life have ever seen anyone defend fucking a pile of literal shit in a video game. Until now...

It's not a track that plays when "there's a joke". It's the Trickster mythic path theme:



and it plays whenever there's a scene/interaction that has unique content for that mythic path. Usually, when it plays you will encounter some kind of dumb joke, since that's what the entire path is about.

Which is it? Either it's not a laugh track or it is. You can't seem to make up your mind and in one post destroyed your premise with the ending sentence. Logic do you know it?

What. Are you serious? I don't understand how you can fail to see the difference between a laugh track and a character musical theme.

In WotR you can choose one of ten different paths. Each path has unique content that revolves around a specific idea or concept. These concepts can be "cosmic law", "helping others", "vengeance", or, in the Trickster case, "making fun of everything, crusade included". This unique content is what truly defines your character and it allows you to perform actions that can shape the world around you. Your path theme plays whenever you perform these actions.

How this can seem a laugh track to you completely eludes me. Trickster's actions are absurd, weird, and sometimes funny, and all its content is based on dumb jokes on the game world, story, and mechanics, but this doesn't transform what's essentially a leitmotif into a laugh track.

A laugh track need not necessarily be a track with laughter. It's called a laugh track since the earliest days of radio and it can be actual laughter to being a musical composition to illicit a laughing response. I used the term "Laugh Track" as it has always been used. Thus, your confusion stems from a lack of knowledge that can be remedied by studying.

This entire discussion is so dumb I can't believe I'm having it with an actual human being.

That theme doesn't play when you're expected to laugh, it plays when the Trickster character gets on the stage.

But I guess the only reasonable conclusion is that Owlcat put a laugh track in the game and then decided not to play it for 99% of the jokes in it.

Yes, the entire discussion is dumb when you have people defending fucking an npc made of literal shit in a game. I only used the laugh track to highlight the moronic defense that someone made that it was done for laughs then proceeds to use the soundtrack of the game to say it's okay since it's a joke. Maybe you should read the entire conversation before you run your fucking mouth.

Moron doesn't realize that I'm Gen X. Maybe you should go back to school and learn all about the generations fucktard. While there maybe you could pick up a useful trade.

EDIT: Ya know being called a Boomer is actually a compliment since they gave us modern computing and role playing games. What the fuck did your generation do? Create demons made of literal shit while destroying the works of people far better then you.

a laugh track can contain actual laughter
no

that's just you being stupid

a laugh track is a track that contains audience laughter

that is what laugh tracks have always been

it's in the ń̴̙̞̻͖̹͖̣͎͂̉͛̅ă̴̡̠̘̯̱̩̝̍m̸̡̮̰͎͍̥̼̫̺͂̋͆̑̎̉͊̅̅̃e̷͙̒̾̓̌̿͋̈́̔̔̓̈́͝

you just built a 5 inch hill of cardboard and papier marché and then chose to suicide on it for some reason

circus music and themes composed by danny elfman are not laugh tracks

what the fuck

Literally other track,

Light mood, not serious complements but not articulates joke as "laugh track".
