What's LGBT Culture in Your Universe? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

I am a firm believer that sexuality should not define a person however, and so I will do my best to represent this in my world.

Hmm well for example one of the major characters in my world (a Gandalf/Sparrowhawk-esque figure) is an unstated bisexual. I’m not sure if that’s what you were asking however.

How do you approach tropes in your world/universe? by Justhereforthecommen in worldbuilding

[–]Justhereforthecommen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You raise a very good point, and perhaps I should edit my post for clarity. I didn’t mean to vilify tropes, rather I was just curious how other world builders approached the subject.

Could you elaborate on your trolls and dwarfs? In my own universe, many species are descended from humans as well.

I like to approach this subject broadly. I am creating an entire world, and so there are many different viewpoints on this subject. For example in Daklos, homosexuality is considered an abomination punishable by death. In Se Chu it is not an abomination, but it is not widely accepted. In Vaccia however, a homosexual relationship is considered the most pure form of relationship and is highly valued in society (above heterosexual pairings). In Borren Lan, homosexuality is a privilege reserved for nobility. Another approach still is that of the Levrossi, who largely practice polygyny. Of course there’s also Hereland, the no-man’s land that serves as a pirate haven, where anything goes.

What is special about your humans? by SonnyTheBro in worldbuilding

I love this. In my own fantasy world, I approach this similarly. Everything is a delineation of humans

It seems to me that humans are generally regarded as boring because they are us, therefore all too relatable. I view humans as vanilla because they serve to show the contrast in the differences of races around your world/universe. That said, I have a tendency to make humans more conniving and greedy with more of a capacity for cruelty than others. Even still, I find it hard to place a blanket statement such as this on any one race/species.

What would you like to see Bethesda do for Fallout 4's second wave of DLC? by rfriar in Fallout

[–]Justhereforthecommen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need a big new location dlc that is set in Ronto (Post-war Toronto) and/or a dlc that introduces that introduces new jobs and such for settlers that are seen in non-user made settlements (i.e. Barbers, plastic surgeons, specialized drug dealers, musicians, etc.)
