    Sexy Shelob...why? Just why?

    Unfortunately, that doesn't really work out so when when claiming that a giant spider monster is more intelligent than the average monster. Eh, I'd continue on, but honestly I'm running out of steam here. Believe it or not Er, I actually do enjoy our conversations. It's always good to make...

    Sexy Shelob...why? Just why?

    Actually, it doesn't hurt my claim at all. Again, EVERY character looks like that. Even the ones ostensibly on your side. He doesn't look particularly threatening when compared to literally every other character. It translates into he'd be more easily manipulated by an attractive woman than...

    Sexy Shelob...why? Just why?

    EVERYONE looks creepy as fuck in that era of Shin Megami Games. Honestly, I kind of miss it. As for how I know he has a weakness for attractive women? The fact that he was grooving for that lady in the first game to the point that the ghost had to come in and basically tell him "dude, your...

    Sexy Shelob...why? Just why?

    Wrong or not, they don't look intimidating which is half the freaking point of the trope. Also, if you're expecting a backstab from a little kid, that's more on you than anything. As for the second part, first; what do you mean by how? Some people are just stupid like that. It was an issue in...

    Tolkien had stated time and again that he did not base LOTR off of his time in war. That's not even getting into the fact that he was yanking bits from a bunch of other mythologies and cultures while making his books. (The elves in particular drew a lot of influence from Celtic foklore.) The...

    Shin Megami Tensei. Literally EVERY game in the main series.

    Sexy Shelob...why? Just why?

    Because people are generally willing to strike bargains with gigantic demon spiders and not attractive women. You DO realize that there is a reason that Lucifer types tend to appear as very attractive beings right? People tend to like and trust the beautiful people moreso than the ugly ones...

    LCD isn't really unique, or even overly prevalent with games. Twilight, Fifty Shades of Grey, the live action Transformers movies, Reality TV in general, Justin Beiber, all make millions and end up in best sellers lists, and all suck. That's kinda how people tend to work in general. As for...

    Your opinion: How much has female characters in games changed (or not changed) in the past 2 years?

    Hence why you'll see said Bikinis in games that are unrealistic to begin with. What on Earth are you going on about here?

    Your opinion: How much has female characters in games changed (or not changed) in the past 2 years?

    My logic is that the people arguing against Chainmail Bikinis being unrealistic is stupid because, realistically, women wouldn't be on the battlefield to begin with outside of some VERY specific situations, doubly so in an era where Knights and swords are a thing. You are aware that a good...

    Minor quibble, Shield maidens were expected to hang up the gear after they married. (Hence the name shield MAIDEN), and the rest of those were either the odd outliers, only to be used in a worst case scenario, or relatively modern happenings. You'll also note that the playable characters in...

    Mario is also in a world where mushrooms can make you grow, flowers can make you shoot fire, and giant turtles kidnap a princess of a kingdom of fungus people on a regular basis. The idea of a fat guy jumping like an NBA All Star in that particular world isn't particularly odd. The suspension...

    Sorry to snip through most of that, but most of that could be summed up as either differing tastes or things that could lead to another one of our little tiffs. As for Roadhog though, you'll note that Roadhog is one of the VILLAINS in the game. He's a merc employed by Talon. It's even...

    Fire Emblem? That's you're go to example for your argument? That's kind of a bad idea Er, if only because this is a series filled to bursting with goofy looking characters. Ryoma looks like he stepped out of a Kabuki play for goodness sake. ERPGs are kind of synonymous for outlandish designs...
