Actually they went traditional. Old school arcade games had these distinctions, because they were base on early versions of Dungeons and Dragons. When they made the first DnD games, Gigax and friends had all human characters for a while because they never thought to apply races to the mix, so when they created elf and dwarf characters they'd apply the race to the profession and give them unique skills because it worked better in the system, rather than overhauling it to make it more diverse. The comic's just poking fun at how in their world it would be racist, but to call it racist here is ridiculous.Angelous Wang said:Exactly.size15boot said:Dude, it's because the rest of the characters are identified by their profession, not their race.hazydawn said:I don't get it. I haven't played the game but isn't the dwarf another warrior and the elf the typical... dunno... ranged warrior, or rogue?
Enlighten me. Why is it racist? Because it can't be the dwarf who is doing magic?Teoes said:Good point. Has anyone addressed the horrifying racism in this game before now?
They should be called The Archer and The Berserker. But instead they went racist.
