GR11: ------------------------

I often play Elves. Once I also played a Halfling, but of course I prefer to play tall, cool and admired characters.

GR11: -------------------------

There are 3 weeks between the post of The Fonzz and ussnorway. But I agree that we could let this thread rest, I think most things have been said.

GR11: Larian was just making a joke. It's other websites that are trying to turn this into an ideological discussion.
What Larian did was take an *average* of all player character. And, surprise, the *average* turns out to be... average :O

amorey13: Nope, you clearly don't know my biases and who is this "we", is that the royal we?

I am agnostic, fiscally conservative, but believe that some people will need help and as a humane society we need to give it, people with an IQ of 85 and below will very likely aways need our help, but I don't like constant handouts to people that refuse to launch.

I loath marxism in all its manifestations thanks to Yuri Besmenov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

If I'm a woman hater I suck at it, I love and respect my wife and daughter, my wife and I make decisions jointly, but that's easy when you share common values.

If I'm a racist I suck at it, I've been in long term interracial relationships and listen to and follow Tim Pool, Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell amongst others.

Maybe if you broaden your thought and experience you might see where I'm coming from when I say SJW.

An SJW is as a general rule an ideologically dogmatic zealot.

An SJW will attach themselves to a movement like the atheist movement, demand special rules and language and fracture it in an attempt to turn it into a leftist movement rather than a lack of belief in a deity.

An SJW will worm their way into a beloved IP, because as a general rule they don't create, but destroy much like locusts and their own creations are largely spurned.
They then proceed to undermine that IP with gender politics, amongst other things and tell the fan base to like it or kick rocks.

An SJW will work diligently for hate speech laws in direct opposition to the constitution, they then harass institutions and companies to ban it, criminalize it, throttle it or shadow ban it. They outright engage in intimidation of all flavors.

Carlin was right, they are just as bad as the far right just coming from a different direction.

I have been forthcoming, judge away.

Ozzymagic: It would be really interesting to collect demographic data for people who purchase and play this game as well. I have a doctorate in one of the social sciences, and I would be really fascinated to actually run the analyses to substantiate whether this appears to be a racially motivated pattern (or not). There are so many possible explanations for the data.

FYI: if anyone from Larian or the other devs reads this, seriously, I would do this shit for you for free, just because I'm curious about it. I have all the analytic programs already running on my own computers, and if I need more powerful ones, I can use the computers at the university where I teach.

Update: I realize the statements were based on early release data from the first few days. I would love to look at what I imagine is now a larger dataset.

TheFonzz: I usually pich the rase that has the best racial bonuses in larian games and rpg games in general. For instance I played DOS2 mostly every time with an elf and mostly sebille or undead with fane cause they just have the best special and racial abbilities. I could care less which race they were. People today are just stupid with all their racial comments about this race or that other race...who the fuck cares what race you are...i dont give a shit about all the races equaly and if someone pushes the matter to my face i give even less shit about him. Stop all this fucking fighting over races everywhere...whites are now supposedly all nazis, blacs have their black lives matter , and i am sure every race has some shit to throw out these days to make it seem how they have been stomped over by everyone and how everyone should feel sorry for them. Fuck everyone who even resorts to that...we are all being stomped on by the few heads on top regardless of race and people fighting each other over shit like this insted of fighting people that are actually fucking us over will result in us allways being fucked over regardless of race...!!

And don't get me started on gender wars whis is even dumber on an even higher level!
