Abandon All Hope, He who Enters !
Nope, I didn't get the hammer, but they changed every comment I did years ago to Unsavory actions and etc. and I havn't been back there yet. Don't worry, If you go there enough, youll sooner or later get into it, or get tired of some thing or another, and back talk one of them. And you will get first hand experience.Welp I'm back
It was very strange over in the land of fenoxo's forums and I have to say it was different
I had to make an account to comment and all the other shit but I'll spilt up what I noticed, please correct me if I got something wrong
1. Not that many people are in the Coc2 threads, the only people are the Devs, Well-known members and some Randoms in the forums. These were the same people over and over.
2. Everything looks heavily moderated, I couldn't even post a simple comment on most threads.
3. I have seen criticism of the game but it was only from the well-known members, so I'm guessing if you step outta line and are the wrong person you get the hammer, fuck me they had the whole thread were only well-known members, devs and active members can talk
4. I've seen alot of comments from the devs like Savin, The Observer, etc. So they are pretty active with the community. Funnily The Observer had his pfp of Kinu being fucked from behind
It looks like a shitstorm but I keep hearing about the misdeeds of the dev team, especially The Observer and his petty bullying but I haven't been able to find anything close to that. Although I could be stupid and missed it all
If anyone is willing to point me to a video, comment thread, explain in great detail, etc
I'm just trying to understand the full story without the salt and tears.
Just search this thread for Tobs and/or The Observer (using the search function - look for the longer comments, the more valid complaints usually have links/screenshots). This thread has devolved a bit but there used to be paragraph long complaints/venting that wasn't just overly angry poorly worded comments.I'm not going back there
I'm gonna save myself the time and energy, I can't even post on most threads anyway
while I think we need to claim down a little in this thread, most criticism from people is still valid and shouldn't be labeled as "hate"
But this whole thing has made me sad and less motivated for the future of the game, I almost want to mod the damn thing myself
Keep going it keeps going lower.what

The first comment I click on is about Mallachian faith and Child-grooming
Is that surprising considering he commissioned CGs depicting Kinu getting railed to the ground?
You don't self insert as the main character? Do you self insert as the other NPC? Do you not self insert at all?
Because they can't write an interesting player character. Them overcompensating by putting the work into characterization between NPCs doesn't solve the problem that the character that you most see interacting with other NPCs is the main character and should have the best characterization. They skimped out on quality on the main character, which has the highest quantity of screen time.
I'm not very good at the whole blank slate character either, but I don't really think the sandbox allows me to do much with it anyways. There's hardly any interesting choices for your character to make. The game isn't really written in that way. About the most interesting choice is probably pure vs corrupt, but most of the corrupt are dead ends at this point.
You would read a book where no poking is required or play a VN.
I think they would have benefited from going in that direction.
I think they can work well enough if you make the game about branching paths and choice, but that isn't what they went for. I agree that you will never get the amount of creative possibility that a tabletop RPG can give you though due to the limitation of how a video game works.
Well, not as much about Tobs as I expected, but these posts of mine might interest you.
Does a guy playing Tomb Raider self-insert as Lara Croft? Do people "self-insert" as Arthur Morgan when playing Red Dead Redemption 2? I'd say not usually.
There's a big difference between being a viewpoint character and being the center of attention. One doesn't necessitate the other. I don't like stories where it feels like one single character is the only active force of the entire universe, it makes that story seem artificial. The MC can be the focus of some scenes. The MC shouldn't be the focus of EVERY scene. I think that some stuff should happen independently of the MC's control.
I don't really think this is true. Self-insertion is at direct odds with an interesting character, I really don't think it's possible to do both. I've seen people complain when, say, the PC declares their love for a character and the player doesn't feel the same way. I've seen people complain about the PC's tone in certain scenes, that its too angry when the player hasn't directed them that way. I myself have disliked scenes with Gweyr, where the player is sympathetic to her estrangement from her family despite me thinking she kinda deserved it.
This is pretty much what I'm saying. There's not enough interesting choices to make your blank slate character take the hit in personality. And the dev team is too small to give you the amount of choices that would make it worth it, at least to me personally. Hell, multi-million dollar companies have struggled with this same thing.
Coincidentally I agree with Sav here. Characters that make the PC the center of their whole lives make me uncomfortable, because the player can't logically reciprocate, which makes the relationship seem massively unequal. I can't take the PC pretending to have a deep, lasting relationship with a single character, then turning around and saying basically the same thing to 20 other chicks while the first one waits back at home for the PC to give them some attention again. Harems kinda creep me out.
Well unfortunately Cait is in fact a groomer of children and her entire religion is desperately in need of updating away from its wicked, evil ways.what
