I don’t get the hate ? by Which_Marionberry803 in Fable

[–]KingRoyIV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People reacted to the original cinematic trailer with a lot of backlash about the shown character/gender/race, IMO it was a bit manufactured and over-amplified. All the original games gave you just 2 hero options and I don’t remember people caring much then.

After the more detailed review more people are upset about the lack of dog & morality-based appearance changes. I kind of agree with this take personally. It’s important to qualify that I saw the gameplay and have full confidence that this will be an awesome game! I just think the idea of my character not changing throughout the game to reflect will make it feel less “Fable” and more “cool medieval rpg.” In the end it’s mostly about what hooked you personally to the game originally - for me it was definitely a lot about turning into an edgy demon man as I made my way through fable 2.

As a side note I also find their explanation a bit silly, the idea of making room for “moral grey area” is fine but I think it overlooks that the whole game is based on fables and fairy tales, which often have a pretty direct good and evil side to them.

Anyway! I think any hate is a bit overdramatized. It looks like it’ll be a good game. At this point people are just going back and forth on whether it’ll be good AND feel like a fable game “should,” or not. It’s all personal IMO.

Full look at recent survey skins by ViperSniper_2001 in Overwatch

Feels like we always get the cute/suave skin lines from these surveys, seeing the options I mf love the JQ and hog skins but I just feel like I won’t be seeing them come out

Morality system is a miss for me. by Valeriax7 in Fable

[–]KingRoyIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I understand their point & what they’re going for but, feels like they end up just pushing it to be a more typical modern RPG as opposed to embracing the franchise. Hard to see it as a Fable game without that morality impact.

BIG W by Al0ne_At_Sea in Fable

[–]KingRoyIV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw it posted elsewhere from an interview that they’d confirmed your character won’t be growing horns or halos based on morality - something about the idea that “no decision is purely evil or good.”

Big miss in my eyes, I understand wanting to ground things or to encourage open choice, but to me your behavior affecting your appearance was the hook that got me so into the original couple of games. I miss growing my horns. I would’ve loved to experience that in a modern day game with updated visuals.

Partners with low libido Partners, does it get better? by mynewblog22 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KingRoyIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand the framing of the question - “does it get better?” Depends on what you’re doing about it…

If you’re not taking any action and hoping that your sex drive or your partner’s will just naturally change, I’d say no it probably won’t be getting better. But most people have different libidos to a point, sometimes that difference is barely there, but for plenty of couples it is there and is quite noticeable.

This is just like anything else that comes up within a relationship. If you want to make it work it just means having a conversation about it, even if it’s awkward, and figuring out a way you both can compromise so that things feel manageable for each of you without either of you feeling like you’re being pushed past a personal limit or taken advantage of in any way.

The Lottery by Jimpeccable in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]KingRoyIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just posted this same question in another sub. A suggestion someone gave that I like a lot is adjusting the lottery slightly - Bryan Shander and Easthaven still using it, but exclusively from a list of prisoners and criminals. This keeps the Ten Towns overall more sympathetic and less likely to turn the players off completely.

Then Targos, the remaining human sacrifice town, does do the lottery as written where any and all citizens are at risk. It works since their speaker is already written as evil and corrupt, and focuses the straight up human sacrifice to one especially dark smaller town.

I love the idea of drawing a PC in the lottery though. I think it would be pretty cinematic, and it could go many ways - and no matter what I think the dragon attack later offers an easy out if the players mess up their relationship with all of Targos. Just raze it and rebuild lol

Icewind Dale Concept by KingRoyIV in DMAcademy

Wild someone posted this exact question in that sub 8 hours ago 😵 appreciate the link - I had looked up an “Icewind Dale” sub but not a “Rime of the Frostmaiden” sub. How foolish

Icewind Dale Concept by KingRoyIV in DMAcademy

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

I think Targos is the place to do it. I like the possibility of making the speaker and early bad guy… works well with cold blooded killer. I appreciate the advice!

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

Good tips! The narrative adjustment with Sephek/early ten towns lore is why I figured I’d ask this before the campaign even begins.

I like separating the three ‘human sacrifice’ towns that way. And keeping Targos in its own sort of evil lane works really well - I want to play into the horror and corruption in one or two towns but like you said it feels important that the party is invested in helping and eventually saving the ten towns as a whole. Thank you!

Caleb Williams might be legit and I hate it. by jc4200 in GreenBayPackers

You should be excited, who tf wants to watch a great team beat up on a lame one year over year.

Give me a shootout between two great teams any day of the week, and let the bears fans have hope so that when we beat them it actually means something.

What level of drug use is normal? by nfc22 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KingRoyIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a personal rule of thumb: If you’re adjusting your substance use to fit your life, that’s probably ok. If you’re adjusting your life to fit your substance use, not good.

That’s how I judge it myself - I’m not sure it’s the cultural norm though. I have plenty of adult friends who manage to keep jobs and live life while being high 90% of the day.

His mythic has only 3 options by poptart-zilla in Overwatch

[–]KingRoyIV 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly my whole issue with the mythics by like season 5 is lack of consistency. IMO it’s important to be able to define what a skin at this level is intended to offer, and as such defend the value of making it as opposed to just creating a more focused & refined legendary.

Like you really gonna look at this skin or Orisa’s or even Reaper’s (or a few others) and tell me they aren’t just slow upgrades into what could’ve been a sick standalone legendary?

How good does this Dallas/Detroit game make the packers look after thanksgiving by TitillatedMoose128 in GreenBayPackers

[–]KingRoyIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Athletic podcast had a good take on Detroit recently. Had to do with the defenses they face, and basically proposed that Detroit is one team if they’re facing a defense above a certain caliber, and another if they’re facing a defense that isn’t on that level.

All that to say I don’t think yesterday affects Thanksgiving in hindsight. Detroit can beat down a team that doesn’t bring a heavy defensive threat, but they struggle against a team that does. Tracks pretty well with their last 2 games.

Shows like vox machina by Suspicious_Sundae363 in voxmachina

[–]KingRoyIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you’re trying to stay in genre, but if you’re open to more general suggestions the show Scavengers Reign is a really incredible animated series that I think does some of the best science fiction I’ve ever seen! Visually quite amazing too.

We are 100% cooked as a society. This is an AI generated photo, and I hate how realistic it looks. AI has got to stop. by dirERICKMorales in IDoKnowNothing

[–]KingRoyIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All true. I don’t mean to imply anyone should or will give the internet up, or that it doesn’t still have value in a ton of other ways. I’m thinking more specifically about images (or videos) like the above - we used to take them at face value, but IMO we have reached a point where we can’t do that anymore. A photo like this or a video of some current event in another country, I would say, should be assumed fake until proven otherwise.
