The ring doesn't exist this world, though. :|

@Skorm: We shouldn't allow for more racially diversity because it'll cause racism! Sounds like the fault of some users, not the game. Perhaps some folk on here need to grow up and get educated.


just accept that the game is related to nordic/slavic mythology and history.the buildings look european, the cloths, the equipment, the world itself etc
non white characters wouldn't fit and I don't see the problem with non-whites playing whites.I played non-white characters in various games...


Its relation has nothing to do with the reality of the game. It's not even explicitly on Earth. Anyone who bitches about it ruining the realism is full of it.

Was that necessary?

@Edit: It breaks the "theme" just as much or more than varying skin tones for PCs.

There is no harm in accepting that it's modeled after whatever, instead of being a carbon copy.

It should come with affirmative action, so at least 20% of your characters must be black :roll:

Well, it wouldn't be a race thread without racist jokes in it. Nice goin' dude.

Fun fact: Most affirmative action hires are white women, when going by percentages, not raw numbers.

Token Black guy? Have you watched a sitcom released since 1991?

You might have noticed that rhe sprites in the game we are talking about are about 36 pixels wide.

Kinky wrote:The real question is why do you feel it so important to break realism that this game does strive for.....

If you can't find the answer to this question in my previous posts, you must lack some of the basic interpersonal skills needed to understand other people.
Which answers the real real question about why you're so defensive of your little fantasy world where you don't get to be different.

Kinky wrote:Why does he think his race is so superior and deserves special treatment to break realism of the game lore?

This sums up everything. In a white world asking for equality is seen as demanding superiority and special treatment. And when you ask the majority to give up the tiniest of priviliges, they chuck little tantrums of hyperbole and ad absurdio arguments.

Try reading it again.

And I'm the one who gets accused of playing 'cards' like it's some sort of logical fallacy
