    Sexy Shelob...why? Just why?

    Hey, I'm still here! :P Granted, I hardly appear here on the Escapist much during this past year, but doesn't mean I don't agree with you. Of course, nothing wrong with sexy or conventionally attractive women in itself. Problem is that, like you said, they're the norm rather than part of a...

    What makes a character more evil: actions or intent?

    It depends on the context, but generally those with both evil intentions and actions are the worse, because those who do evil for noble reasons, like someone else pointed out, still possess a conscious which factors into their delusions of righteousness, and thus it stands to reason that those...

    So that whole "female main characters don't sell" bullshit

    I don't know what else to say other than agreeing with you, Erttheking. Some people are either stupid in decision-making, focusing too much on what will make the most money for them, or both. :/

    Obscure Mythological/Religious creatures you would like to see more in fiction.

    In a way, kinda, but it still depends on which particular Fae you're using or just making up your own brand. I haven't seen any yet that deals with likes of the Sidhe or the Red Caps.

    Obscure Mythological/Religious creatures you would like to see more in fiction.

    How about more Fair Folk? The way fairies and such were portrayed in the old days, mischievous at best, demented at worst. They can come in all shapes and sizes, and can fit a lot of different kinds of games. RPGs, action, horror, you name it.

    Poll: Fire Emblem Fates Impressions So Far (Tag Story Spoilers Please)

    I just finished Conquest yesterday and had started up on Birthright. I would agree you two on the morality play, Fappy and Erttheking. I was hoping that there would be some kind of grey morality going on between Hoshido and Nohr, but instead it became incredibly white and black from the...

    Undertale, An Analysis. [Spoilers]

    Except those are just theories, nothing more. The game's neutral endings do heavily lean towards that yes, Frisk did make it out passed the barrier. The reason behind the way those endings are presented is to make them look unsatisfying so that the players will aim for the True Pacifist ending...

    Undertale, An Analysis. [Spoilers]

    Except the game proves that assertion wrong. Monster souls easily vanish the moment they are killed. Asgore's soul was annihilated by Flowey in the Neutral Route, and you don't get Flowey's either regardless if you spare or kill him, and yet you still manage to exit the barrier. Even when...

    Player Beats Fallout 4 Without Killing Anything

    To be honest, I'm not sure I have all the answers either. Sorry to bring this up then. I mean, I get how frustrating it could be if you wanna literally do whatever you want but the game wouldn't allow it. Maybe it's that when it comes to things like violence, nonviolence, and the morality behind...

    Player Beats Fallout 4 Without Killing Anything

    I'm not calling the guy himself selfish. I'm calling the idea of wanting to be pacifist and yet getting other people to dirty their hands for you selfish. It's the idea of because you don't want to get your owns hand dirty yet make others do it for you so that you don't have to worry about...

    Player Beats Fallout 4 Without Killing Anything

    I don't know about you, but I find the idea of making others do your dirty work for you just as abhorrent, if not worse because you didn't want to kill anyone yourself to keep your conscious and track-record clean. It comes off as more selfish and egotistical than pacifistic.

    Can Meat Eaters be Easy to Offend?

    Probably because some accusations levied at those who eat meat tend to fall upon the same thoughts as murder or killing, like calling those who eat meat along the lines of a killer or murderer, almost in the same way as if they killed another human, even if the person eating the meat didn't kill...

    International Explorers Renowned Society and its wonderfully diverse character design

    Agree with you completely, Erttheking. This game does look like fun, so I'll certainly consider getting it and checking it out. Thanks for sharing this with us.

    Poll: Could there ever be such a thing as "ethical" mind control?

    My thoughts would be around the same as those who say it being like killing; never to be used lightly and only in the most urgent situations as a last option when everything else shows to not work. But even then, the mind control must be undone as soon as the threat is neutralize. Unless it's of...

    Poll: Which do you think did Violence in Videogames better? Spec Ops the Line or Undertale?

    Even though Undertale did it better, since it actually gave you choice, I hold to the opinion that neither of them actually tackled the issue of violence well. I found both of them to be flawed and not holding up.
