    Your number 2 is based around cultural, not species differences. Two humans raised in two different cultures could end up very different.

    There could be two tribes of goblins. One that began eating people out of desperation and now just do it because it’s tradition. The other could have grown up in close relationships with their nongoblin neighbors and are seen as a valuable part of their region.

    So untying evilness to their race isn’t being race blind or pretending people down have struggles - it’s removing the shoehorning that occurred.









  • I have many negative options of this show. Ultimately, while Lucy was…okay… Norm and chet had my favorite dynamic and didn’t act like complete morons most of the time.

    They seemed to have set out with the intention of making the BoS a slapstick comedy rayher than a serious player consisting of intelligent humans. Especially Knight Titus and Maximus felt like horribly written characters.

    I understand them going for humor but… I feel the slapstick nature of it really took away my enjoyment of it.

    While fallout has had humor in it, I felt it was backseat to the actual atmosphere of its story of surviving the wasteland. In the series, slapstick seems to be all it is.

    Also I don’t understand why they added the thing about ghouls.



  • Personally, I’d like to see a bit more adjustment in ship abilities.

    It feels like they’ve got active abilities on every ship you have to press to get them using their full potential. Even if they have adjusted the length and timer of the cool down, It doesn’t feel very good to me that way.

    Red alert 3 kinda killed me because every unit had an alternate mode or active ability I had to use and target on enemies. If you weren’t constantly toggling abilities on all units or making use of these targeted abilities you were going to get rolled.

    I’m hoping we can move some of these abilities over into researchable passives. It feels like adding all these activatables is ment to increase the skill ceiling for competitive gaming, which I can also see how that may be beneficial.





  • It depends. Self publishers on places like Amazon Kindle are probably making that choice themselves. They choose their own covers.

    I understand a Self publisher has less financial resources but… there’s no good answer.

    For large publishing firms, they have a choice. They pick books they think will do well and support it with cover art, marketing, etc.

    When you have things like Fallout’s TV series using AI art to market itself? That’s a multi-billion dollar company. They can afford not to. I don’t fault the writer for a book that a publisher forces AI onto, but as long as they stay with a publisher who openly forces them to use AI, I will hold my stance.
