A black man in middle earth has broken immersion and caused a game to be an instant flop. May the newly forged ring bring the end
You're reminding me of the heated argument I had back in high school about Ginny Weasley's boyfriend being black. No one believed me. Had to show them a picture before they did
I got you, fam.

I dare not even tread in that new Middle Earth thread.
One black guy and suddenly Tolkien is spinning in his grave.

Oh yeah, forgot Cottenmouth won an Oscar. Good on him.

Are people really going mad over it?

Black people were created in the 1600s. This is so unrealistic.

People are quoting lore like it's the Gospel
What lore says that there are no black people in middle earth?

Lore about a series where most of the actual "lore" comes from a book written and published after it's creator died.

Magic is more believable than Black people.
Ergh, people are weird man.
But I thought we WERE magic
Only when it comes to giving white people advice on fixing their lives
Only when it comes to apparently shrugging off bullets.

The olive skin lore of course
Everyone has a hill to die on. Some die on magical ones
Will Smith and Eddie Murphy agree
Lancelot in Once Upon a time is black, and Saint Maurice is widely assume to have been black. He's portrayed as black in all of the artwork of him
Is this where I rant about Fire Emblem where it's more realistic to have a character that turns into a fucking dragon than to have any black people?

Speaking of, I think it would be fucking fascinating for a game to take the Fire Emblem eugenics concept and really run with it. Like, you have a black female character that hooks up with an asian male character and their offspring inherits features of both, etc etc. Hair/eye colors, mixed skin tones, freckles, glasses, whole nine. You'd have to plan that from the beginning though so you could be sure to code in all the determinators for offspring.
Man what was that movie that was coming out that had a crazy Mr Ecko saving white people's marriages?
Plot twist: Sean Spicer is an illegal immigrant.
He's probably Kenyan. It all comes back around.

Can't believe morons are getting steamed over a black man in a fantasy game. They need to build a goddamn bridge and get over it. Bunch of sorry ass punks.
has there ever been a game where the relationship shit wasn't pointless? Pick the right things to say, have sex, and then nothing else.
It's weird that they're setting expectations so high like this. It's also a super weird expectation to set.
I hope that Switch does well enough for EA to give ME:A
and DA:I
Fire Emblem. Dragon Quest V.

Hit morrigan a few times. Flirted with her on our journeys. She disappears and that's that. Smh. Betrayed

Closest to that would be Fallout 4 but its still sex without plot when it came to ME, there's no "sex" in Fallout. It's really just companionship.
And Dragon age I guess.

Because for the most part games don't have relationships. They have complete the steps till you bone then it's done and is never mentioned again. If you do it with a squad mate it needs to be integrated into your character and the game itself not basically exist in a bubble aside from sparse dialogue now and again.

They let Armond White back on RT purely to let him ruin the Get Out rating lol
"He black, they can't say shit, right?"
Lol, I dunno, but oh well, movie was worth the watch, all that matters.

He liked the spectacle but doesn't go crazy over celebrities.
Or he was dragged there. When I'm on vacation, half the stuff i do is because of another person. Hell, i took a Disney trip and hated most of it. Just for others.
You can participate because of family and not give one shit.
Like, i would support you, Vic but give no fucks about your mixtape. Come to the release party and talk mad shit about it, there.
The only time i ever felt that relationships had substance was in DA:O.
Some of Leliana endings were heartbreaking, she was so committed.

Cause DA:O was originally meant to be a self contained story so they could write it that way. Everything gotta be a trilogy now.
So hold up, in Andromeda when you make your character -- one of the two Ryder siblings, the other sibling is still in the game right? I hope it's like Fallout 4 where you can customize both of them. Might just be like Dragon Age 2 where they auto-generate the family members though.
If it's the former am I the only one thinking of making an interratial (looking) brother-sister pair?
I guess it was okay in Witcher 3 with the two main relationships, even though the canon kind of pushed you towards Yennefer (especially if you read the books).
