I want to go a bit darker but here we are. The questline regarding Stalvan Mistmantle used to be really dark.
Here is a thought. Clearly you have great vision but some of us are sick of fights where the ground is the same damned colour as the attacking spells from the boss. Purple on purple is a classic failure of choices and lack of understanding of the eyes ability in a very active visual field to discern one bloody half shade lighter purple deadly spell to the purple ground designs. Other stupid matching colours are also happening too often in game. So no, we need bright contrasts and the fights should involve our skill not how well our eyes reacted to a micro difference in a ground to spell colour tone. If you are lazy as a designer it is also cheaper to have dark walls etc. so no one can see the fact you were slack on detail and design… I was looking are some of the environmental work recently and I am still blown away from the work they have put into their art.
…I think you may have made a mistake about the topic of this thread.
I think the art work is too cartoony.
I know many people like it that way.
I’d like to see more detail/more realism.
And let me save someone the time: I’m not
going to play another game over it.
This IS my game. I’d just like to see it evolve
with a little more epicism and less teeheehee-ism.
Fewer bunny suits and fairyland wings…etc.
There is plenty of warring going on. Just not faction wars. also, go hate the void cultists.
As an aside, it’s just bizarre to me that on my hunter tracking, this giant six-legged beetle shows up as “humanoid.” I don’t think the devs know what “humanoid” means, anymore.
lol, yeah its emblematic of the kid gloves modern game devs think players want which is neutering stories and making games worse
None of that basic empathy on display here, it seems
Arachnophobia mode had no effect on the Azj’kahet story.
It gave me crabs.
I mean, you don’t deserve it, so you won’t get any from me.
“I only have empathy for people who agree with me about vidya”
In awe of your moral high ground.

Darker mature tones went out the door when I found out the Nerubians have an anxiety room with a teacher called Mr Flower who tries to get them to open up about their feelings and emotions.
Um HELLO
These spider people are made from the OLD GODS they arent like NORMAL PEOPLE. They are MONSTERS.
Monsters with trauma.
Some “people” will try to convince you that is a mature storyline.
There was that one spider person that liked to rip the limbs off other spider persons. That was kinda fun.
Back in my day ALL the spider people liked to rip off limbs.
Spider persons are not a monolith. Apparently.
Because it’s nice and bubble-wrapped to protect their delicate sensibilities.
Because you know, warcraft and safe-space go hand in hand apparently.
All I’m seeing is if you like gritty, dark stuff, you are apparently sub-human, and much lesser than these holier-than-thou types, and you’re basically incapable of intellectual thoughts, lmao. Kinda funny how some people’s minds work
