I like how these "they should have hired FANS" g@mer redesigns never look like interesting characters. They picked the most generic "Todd from accounting" haircut for this character who is supposed to be a charming roguish hero.

He looks like he buys bitcoin

Someone needs to make a mod that replaces the face of lmayo Wyll's patron with my-hero.

I think this could be a great opportunity for some comrades literate in the ways of programming (is that how you say that?) to plant some nice maleware knowing it will only the the right targets. Or just add something tiny that irreversibly breaks the game in other frustrating ways further down the line once installed, that are not immediatly obvious?

I mean it's pretty easy to predict these mods popping up for new releases. Why not get ahead of them?

According to so many freeze-gamer takes that's just making the fantasy fiction more historically accurate! very-intelligent

When someone mentions historical accuracy, it's become a huge red flag to me. Wonder why. thinkin-lenin

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it's a fictional setting and there is no history to be accurate to

Because they just want to use it as an excuse to be racist. Even games with a historical setting like Kingdom Come: Deliverance just use "historical accuracy" to erase queer people and people of color from the history of medieval Europe. And how accurate is it really to have a main character that is socially mobile and rises through the ranks of nobility?

Then you have stuff like Pentiment that has works cited and is dope as fuck.

Reminds me of the mod for Spiderman that replaced all the pride flags. Related article from the Verge here.

Wait until these guys play the new Spiderman Miles Morales.

This unlocked an ancient memory: back when GTA: San Andreas came out, I read a review in a gaming magazine where the author literally dropped a link to a mod that makes CJ white for potential buyers who might feel uncomfortable playing a black character. The only reason this stuck with me was due to the sheer cringe vibes it gave me.

countdown to this getting removed, nexus doesn't play with these mods
