for dragon's dogma 2, turns out you can't make characters that are deemed "too flat" or "too short" so that sucks. imagine being a 5ft petite woman who wants to make herself in games but you can't these days because retards think you look like a child. the height floor is 160cm for fred fuchs' sake. that's the height of damaris, my phantasy star character. i can JUST BARELY make her. i don't think that's very short at all for a woman tbh.

you could make just straight up child characters in dragon's dogma, the original game. the steam discussion boards are going at it rn.

and damn.... how far we've fallen in terms of puritanism man. it used to be Fox News and the conservative rightoids that were all against video games, fun, and fiction... now it's seemingly EVERYONE including the people who used to hate this kind of censorship bullshit. like, we can't even have children that look normal, they have to look like these weird fucked up midgets like in cyberpunk because the devs are too worried people will want to fuck them or something. as if that would even be their issue to deal with.

i hate it here.

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club I remember in the first game height was actually a pretty fun mechanic that affected many things in the game that actually affected being able to grapple and being able to crawl into small holes and things like that.

@SuperDicq tons of people have recommended it to me, though i haven't played it. too many games out there man :P definitely won't play the second one if i haven't played the first, but it's sad that they felt the need to cut that from the game. and 160cm is way too tall for a height minimum anyway.

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club I like the first game. It has a pretty good sound track. A lot of the dialogue in the game is very meme worthy because NPCs repeat the same lines a lot, but I kinda like campy shit like that.

I personally enjoyed Dragon's Dogma a lot more than similar games at the time of release like Dark Souls. If you do play the PC version you should get a controller because with PC controls it is near unplayable.

Unfortunately they cut out this song from the Dark Arisen rerelease:

@beardalaxy I really liked playing as a cute loli in DD:DA. Obviously because it's cute, but also it added to the feel of the character. A human taking down a drake is already a feat, but a little girl with a sword and shield doing it in roman-esq attire made it even more so

Guess it's impossible for me to enjoy the second game for some of the same reasons as the first. Welp

@beardalaxy I guess I can at least probably roleplay her as being aged up into her hebe years :tanya_sigh:

@beardalaxy I haven't checked DD2 out yet myself. Sounds like bullshit though even from someone who generally hates "child-like" races in MMORPGs. I can understand the reasoning that making models and textures is easier when have locked down body dimensions to work with, but it should be just that and nothing to do with... whatever this reasoning is.

Like heck, not every adult has massive boobs... Or are taller than 160cm. It's very easy to make characters look like adults without those features. I hope no one gets confused between elementary school children and adults in real life either... The facial features etc. are very different.

All of this doesn't break or make a game of course. Still annoying that people think boobs=age. Girls can grow breasts at an early age too, that doesn't make them at age. I guess guys only have bodybuilder or dad bod body types too? Otherwise they would clearly look like children (according to this reasoning).

@susie i was kind of disappointed by the lack of boob sizing options in cyberpunk and bg3 too.

@beardalaxy the front fell off of society and it's back to just nazis with swastikas or commies with sickles again :neocat_woozy:
