like, it's a bit nasty in that specific regard. still, I'd rather an honest attempt and a failure, hopefully something they try to do better by in future patches, than a tired excuse of 'well, it's hard so i won't'. now, as for the role quests, i would say they're not as insensitive as they are...

casual. about a serious issue. granted, it might be intentional and it just didn't land well; attempt and failure. they didn't feel so insensitive per se. however. when i say aiming is politically bad, i mean it. it is not insensitive, it's legit red scare 101. it's trite, it's borderline evil.

role quests aside though, as much as i said 'I'd rather a failure than an excuse', that doesn't mean that if they keep reiterating the same failure that's excusable. if it's bad, they better fix it, period. you can't be perfect, but you can damn well improve, yknow? and apologize, if need be. done.

oh, i thought this was another thread entirely lmao eh whatever, you can disregard what i said if it's too much. i hope they do better in future patches bc i would rather give the benefit of the doubt for now and say it was an honest mistake. we will see. if they don't. well then they should blow up

yeah i appreciate the input but im gonna choose to listen to the concerns of my native friends over just settling for what we've been given and calling it okay

heirsbane.bsky.social•21 days ago

i mean it's not okay. it's bad. i think i said it's bad like... 5 times. but they can do better, and they should. and either i believe they can do better and demand that, or i think they can't. but if i thought they can't, then I'd stop playing entirely, 'cause it's a subscription game.

like there's making an honest mistake but what the writers have done with dawntrail is repeat offence after repeat offence. there's nothing honest or forgivable about it it goes beyond ignorance and becomes willful at that point when they continue to perpetuate the same problematic themes in patches
