But it is though, or rather, all licensed products go in here, like the Alexa game as well. The rest of your post doesn't have anything to do with the first part. ![]()
![]() Yeah I have no interest in Sci-fi or WH stuff for the most part but they're not under contract with Paizo to only make Paizo games. There's no betrayal. There's no bad blood. There's no abandonment. Unless Paizo or Owlcat one steps up and says otherwise, it's just a game company that wanted to make a game with they IP they were allowed access to, they're not forced to make Pathfinder or Starfinder games. ![]()
![]() If they want to hype us up for/sell us an Absalom Station book, first they'd need to make it not be boring. With all the planets and species and wonderful awe inspiring locations in Starfinder the bland space station hub doesn't register for most people past it being the hub. Like the Citadel in ME, you went there cause it was the Hub for the game, not because it was cool. Case in point, the Absalom hardcover for P2 was a letdown, but the Grand Bazaar book was awesome! It was a much better Absalom book, and actually made it interesting and cultivated ideas. ![]()
![]() "Hey was this ever answered?" is a valid necro. "Well, I disagree with you person who posted 2 years actually because..." is not. If you're resurecting a question fine, if you're jumpstarting a convo like it's ongoing then not so much, cause the convo isn't ongoing. They're talking to people who aren't there, naturally people are gonna point this out. ![]()
![]() Ayup, and that’s nothing to say of compatibility and rejection for medicines and grafts. For gameplay purposes your character’s body has 100% acceptance rates for replacement organs and grafts and using medicine, when outside of gameplay that wouldn’t be true no matter how advanced the science got. And then as Big Lemon brought up. Me for example, I can walk without assistance. But say Something happened to me and now I have the choice between using a wheelchair or chopping my legs off for prosthetics. People are presenting as jumping at the second option, but would you? I don’t know if could make that choice. If I’m in wheelchair, I’d still have my legs, could still feel them, could still wiggle my toes. ![]()
![]() That reads to me that there shouldn’t be representation, which I disagree with verily. I’m probably overstepping but I’ll still say There’s numerous problems with making disabilities “realistic” like your asking, in that it won’t be “realistic” enough for people and so they’ll ask for the penalties to be worse to possibly having the characters be unplayable, in the name of “realism”. “until one starts conflating real world accomplishments/ goals/ achievements.” This doesn’t make any sense, and feels elitist to me. It’s a fantasy game, characters with disabilities can be superheroes in it. ![]()
![]() “So if the mechanics don't support the actual challenges it isn't real representation” I’d disagree, this is fantasy after all, and your PC no matter what, is more or less super human (as in far above human standards) even at level 1. -Finder has never tried to be realistic, so stating a disability has to be “realistic” to be real representation is rather crass I’d say. ![]()
![]() And the above can be summed up as "My ego beats your experience". *pinches ridge of nose* I'm definitely not a source of knowledge on these subjects, but dood, telling a disability consultant they should gamify disabilities in a game (so people can minmax, why else? You can already play a character with disabilities) and also that you know better than her on the topic? "unless she loved her new hoverchair so much that she would rather crawl than to walk normally." On second though forget snark, go be worthless elsewhere. Edited for clarity.
