I saw a bunch of this kind of posting on Something Awful's Traditional Games forum, where I saw at least one claim that if their mom played a Paladin they made sure that she was raped so she'd Fall.
have you seen mainstream journos reaction to sound of freedom recently?
This is exactly what the deal is, I was dumb enough to preorder the game because I was thinking about all of the RPGs I'd played over the years with friends and forgot that there were people who think bear fucking jokes are funny. Saying "it's just a joke"isn't as good a defense as they think because I wouldn't want to play a campaign DMed by some horny goofball like that. It'll also be full of puns.
What would turn the bear fucking scene into an actual joke would be the druid being overcome by the animal nature of the bear and tearing the twink elf's throat out because that's what bears do when they have someone under them like that. Game over, maybe don't try fucking bears, weirdo. There you go, you get a bear fucking scene that's an actual joke and not furry fapbait.
That is why people got "dare you enter my magical realm" vibes with this. If a DM did this with a table full of strangers he would have either been kicked out of the table or punched in the face. As a side note, I went back and looked at my old 3.5e supplement books and found this in The Book of Vile Darkness.
A game set in Eberron would be great.
Dungeons and Dragons Online exists and isn't terrible even. Or used to be not terrible when I played ages ago. It is however a very old game that's showing its age. Also Dragonshards exists but we don't talk about that.
Why though?
Because definitions and class and limitations are -isms.
People acting smug in the comment section
That's a terrible idea gameplay wise. It will enable extreme level of munchkin play, which will make the game insanely easy with the right build. If the devs try to balance the game around that then it will be ridiculously hard for people who want to make normie builds (though knowing current year, the devs will probably expect everyone to use a broken build from the internet).
My guess of why is they making Divinity original sin 3 with D&D flavor. Also, can't wait for mod buffing humans as well. Like +2 to all attributes and extra ability per level
"New skin options like freckles and vitiligo will soon be available"
100 hours of content could just be PR speak for having to play through the game a dozen times to see it all.
You can already get an easy 30 hours out of the current EA, which doesn't even have the full first act, and is supposedly only 1/4th of the game's content.
