Yeaaahh I realized my mistake too about Uzzy's but I was too lazy to modify it sorry....Clay More said:blackguard89 said:Uzzy accurate?Clay More said:Thunderhorse31 said:So wait, you would prefer it if elves wore suits, dwarves used rocket-launchers, uzis had sniper-like accuracy, and corporate-types were benevolent, etc.?
All of those ideas break stereotypes I suppose, but when do you draw the line and say "perhaps I'm no longer being true to the source material?"
That said, I suppose it might be refreshing to see fat stupid elves, or a dwarves who are clean-cut, lean, and weild rapiers instead.![]()
No not that radicla changes. I mean why cant elve default mage? In most of RPG you can make him a mage but his main atrubute is archery. And in real life UZI is one of the most accurate SMG weapon. Of course its not as acurate as sniper rifles but still its one of the best compact weapons. But the made it kinda shitty since Miami Vice which is not fair. But its pretty usual in gaming industry to make weapons how people think they are. If the were realistic, one shot from a pistol to the non-armored enemy will be deadly.
You should watch more documentaries.
Currently the best precision and maxed distance is held by the bolt action rifles.
Or maybe I'm not explaining right. The Sniper rifles, they are called that because they do theyr job very good.
Id always pick a Sniper and a silenced gun over an Uzzy.It is just too lund.I eman yeah sure it can dish out high numbers of bullets in a very short ammount of time but still.
Silece and preecision is the name of the game these days.
Also did you check out War Hammer games?
The dwarfs seem at home using raged weapons too from what i saw.
Also many MMO's and rpgs even thou the Elves don't have mages as primary classes , they still have other elf races that have them
Also i don't think that a Night elf(World of warcraft) warlock would be in tune with nature for example.
Many of these stereotipes have to exist, because they are based on logic.
Once a game is lauched it has a story behind it.
So if you make elves in the beginning to be "tree Huggers" than your lore for the game will have to remain the same (Bad example of this would be what Blizzard does in cataclysm....quote "Holy Cow" .By changeing that you are litteraly doing spin offs.
Wow in mind again....I don't thing tauren will make very good rogues.It's not logical.They are too big, they look slow, they are exactly the oposite.
Also look at ELder scrolls: Oblivion....The High elves have bonus to magic while the wood elfes have bonus to ranged and sneak.
I dragged this one too long .
I'm sorry.
1: I say that UZI is the most accurate SMG! (which is not right either. UMP, Kriss or P90 would take that place) Of course sniper rifles and assault rifles are the most accurate weapons. But MW2 fans would never understand that skilled soldier could snipe with M16 pretty damn good. I tried to explain this to one MW2 fan and he was all like: Thats bullsh**! You cant snipe with assault rifles!!
2: Thanks for that Oblivion thing. I forget about Oblivion so you are right with that.
And Like I said it depends on the game's story , about the stereotypes, I mean.
Would still be nice to see other variations...I liked WArhammer online's idea. Well mybe they were not primary but the elves do have White Lions, the meele class with the summon.That seems far more better placed and well contured rather than just making them ranged
They do have hunters ofc, but hey, White Lion class just caught my eye more than the rest, this would be one example of change in stereotypes.
Also I know about that sniping thing with the assault rifles.
