>fantasy game comes out
>human, elf, dwarf, maybe orc

Why are fantasy games so utterly constrained when the genre itself lends to so much more? Is it purely because having to make models for unconventional body types like centaurs or some shit is too much work?

need a goblin capture rape breeding game

Imagine how much extra work would have to be do e to accommodate unconventional body types like something big or small or weird like a centaur or something that could fly like an aarakocra. I'm not saying they shouldn't try, that would be a very interesting game with a lot of replay value, but 99% of devs just aren't skilled enough to do that plus as >>713933710 shows most people just play human or human adjacent races anyway so why bother? Also, goblin sex.

>>713933710
wow has this many races? if i would ever to play that game i would make a personal goblin sextoy that i dress up nice too look at when no other player is around and the rest of the time i would put her in the wow equivalent from these sandnigger capes

>>713934481
Most of those are just pointless pallette swaps.

>>713933586 (OP)
Sticking to humanoid greatly simplifies making game assets if you have a lot of gear, since you can reuse most of the work. Especially since playable characters are usually expected to have a higher level of polish. Something like an optional playable centaur race is a shitload of additional art and animation work that will likely not benefit a small percentage of players. They have a hard enough time just offering short races.

>>713934653
figures, looks good when presented like in that image but the reality looks very different

>>713934869
Its not exactly the same different body shapes, but I like how in Pillars of Eternity the "Godlike" race couldn't actually wear any type of helmet because they had big horns. I feel like they could just do something similar with weird races. Stuff like snake people, Driders and Centaur could not be able to equip pants, for example.
Also I feel like considering the fact that most fantasy games already have enemies you can fight that aren't bipedal Humanoids, they could just transfer some animations over to a player race. If they already put in the effort to animate horses, just cut of the horse head, put a legless Human on top, tweek it a little and boom, you got a playable centaur race.

>>713933586 (OP)
Putting OPs faggotry aside, how do I git gud at perspective?

>>713935510
>not be able to equip pants, for example.
i really like the idea but you just know there would be autistic screeching about min max mmo fags

SHORTSTACK PORN THREAD WOOO

>>713935916
its easy just have tons and tons of sex with goblin

>>713935890
its easy just have tons and tons of sex with goblin

>>713935510
It’s still harder than you’re thinking. In part because playable characters also usually need animations for a lot more situations than monsters. Plus that’s still a lot more work than just disallowing hats. The places where you’re most likely to have exotic races are in games where they just don’t show gear aside from maybe weapons. Old jrpgs for example. I guess Tyranny is a more recent example since Kills-in-Shadow just doesn’t get to wear anything.

>>713933586 (OP)
It would be a dream game to be honest. Being able to make/RP a character from primitive to civilized races, and play from the tiniest species like fairies to 9-foot ogres.

But I think it mostly has to do with bodymorphing all the armors with all the different bodytypes and sizes. That's why a lot of RPGs are better off how they were in old school MMOs/RPGs, where the armor are PNG templates over the body, or don't go so overall complex adding 500 different varieties of armor shit/visuals.

>>713936297
>It’s still harder than you’re thinking
Of course I'm not a developer, I don't know how to code or animated or any of that shit, so I should give game devs the benefit of the doubt. I just hate that all games made now seem to only care about minimalizing costs and pumping games out as soon as possible. I feel like doing stuff like putting in the effort to add weird races that actually feel different to Humans would be worth the time and resources.

>>713936093
Wish she were goblin deez nuts.

Goblins dont shave or wash

>>713936740
I'll shave and wash my goblin GF.

>try to do something different
>people complain that it's "too hard to get into" and that they have no idea what any of these weird races are or how they work
It's that simple. Average video game player isn't going to read your epic world building backstory that explains what the races are. Average video game player already has baked-in cultural knowledge of Tolkien-esque elves, dwarves, etc so very little needs to be done to explain what they are or what to expect.

That's why you get a Joblin gf instead.

i wish i was a short and plump curvy goblin for my bros, i'd basically act the exact same as i do now, just when i get the craving i'd leap into their laps or put on a show until they're worked into a frenzy and forced to pin me down and breed me, heaving and bouncing my thick green body over and over again until i can't even think anymore

>>713936907
>Average video game player already has baked-in cultural knowledge of Tolkien-esque elves, dwarves, etc so very little needs to be done to explain what they are or what to expect.
I think a lot of people miss out on this. Worldbuilding is important, but it's equally important to understand that sometimes shorthand is good and that you don't need to make everything completely original. People who try their best to not make something which reeks of Tolkien inevitably shackles them to his works anyway because they're specifically and deliberately trying to avoid imitating him.

>>713934481
Wow's character creator was so bare bones I've literally seen free browser games with more detailed character customization. And back when I still played your race only really affected your starting location. You got a racial ability too, but they nerfed racials into irrelevance very fast.

>>713937153
how do you mean

>>713937036
Please kill yourself.

>>713936621
But it’s always a matter of opportunity costs. Outside of something like Rockstar, budgets are finite so spending all that time for non-humanoid races perhaps means a great many fewer enemies animated or some such. I guess my point is just to answer the question in the op and say that for most games, yes, it’s just too much work given the vast majority of people just end up wanting to play humans, humans with pointy ears, and humans with horns.

>>713936740
almost everyone in the settings you'd find a goblin dont wash or shave

See Avowed for what you can expect from Western devs trying to deviate.

How about you're hit with magic so you've got tits too? Also "Hit with magic" is a lie so people think it was some freak magical accident and the party doesn't want to admit they spent thousands of gold to get you a huge rack to play with while they're boning you in some dusty ancient tomb

>>713941317
Please don't spur that troon on.

>>713933586 (OP)
It's because everyone already knows what these fantasy races are, and so the worldbuilding is already done for you in the form of player expectation. This can be especially important if the player can select from multiple races for their character, because that way they immediately know what they're getting into with each race without having to read some lengthy lore blurb about your original races.

>Human, elf, dwarf, halfling, goblin, orc
Hey, I know what those are!

>Blugnir, Slithards, Grimsnarians, Saurenes, Mordgrim
What the fuck am I reading?

Should small characters like goblins be allowed to be fighters/barbarians?

>>713942370
As a meme, sure.

>>713941363
Damn it man I like imagining silly RPG parties and a male goblin being the party onahole is great. Think of the bants, when they're in town no one wants to admit to being a smelly goblinfucker but as soon as they're in camp in the wilderness they can't even wait to take turns and end up spitroasting him

>>713942706
That sounds extremely fucking gay and retarded like you.

>>713942370
Yes. 16 strength is 16 strength. size only matters for grappling (but then youre grappling with something with natural weapons)

>>713943102
Stats shouldn't be the same across the board for all races. It's not how life works.
A 10str human should be vastly weaker than a 10str orc or dragonborn.

>>713943284
my goblin is for my eyes only. i dont want to share

>>713936968
Thats just the HR negress

>>713943453
a universal scale works great, different races just should have different caps

>>713943453
They presumably wouldn't be the same across the board. 16 strength would be freakishly hulking for a goblin and be their equivalent of a human with 18 strength (Natural max), so a hulking goblin is still weaker than a hulking human but the same strength as an elf, but Allah forgive me for uttering such a word

I wish goblin girls were real bros...

>>713933710
>>713943203
A fine chart to show player's preference for humans and elves, but here's an updated version anyways. Vulpera really didn't deserve the hate, it's still mostly elf lovers at the top.

Yep It's grudgin' time!

That's what racial modifiers are for, retard. a 10 is a 10, objectively. Blame modern DnD for watering down bonuses to 'pick two stats to add +2' when 3.5 had this shit:

>>713943852
>vulpera deserved MORE hate
I think they were pretty neat.

>>713943679
Yeah but maybe its 40kg of steel and 40kg of feathers.

>>713944091
That doesn't make any sense. Steel is heavier than feathers.

>>713943932
the description of stonechildren reminds me of the brute from gloomhaven.

>>713943679
>>713943932
You dumb faggots don't get what I mean.
These people aren't biologically the same. The dragonborn is a lizard, maybe it has really shit stamina and gasses in like two minutes of combat like a crocodile, but has obscene strength before then. Their body shouldn't just work exactly the same as a human's, neither should an elf's or any other race.

>>713944239
>maybe it has really shit stamina and gasses in like two minutes of combat like a crocodile,
obviously not, if they did there would be a pretty heavy CON penalty.

>>713944239
well its a fantasy game, not whatever novel you're working on that works along the lines of biology instead of magic

>>713944239
Oh, you mean like the fact that kobolds do actually have a -2 to constitution (the attribute which represents the exact retard abstract 'stamina' you are trying to describe)?
https://dnd.arkalseif.info/races/races-of-the-dragon--83/kobold--122/index.html
It's a game, faggot. Everything still has to be maths under the hood.

>>713944239
A 10 Strength Human is the average Human while a 10 Strength Orc is just a slightly weaker than average Orc, then. Stop being an autistic faggot screeching about a literal non-issue.

Frankly I wouldn't mind nothing but humanoids if they just varied them up.
Sure, centaurs are hard as fuck in comparison. So give us satyrs.
Or give us something original. A brand new race for your franchise. Look at the Dark Crystal, nothing but original races and it's popular because of it.
Instead of just giving us African elves, give us something from African folklore to play as if you really need the fucking representation. It'd be a lot more organic, and it'd be a lot more respectable AND respectful.
Shit, give us a race that's based off African sculpture. That's what The Journey Down did for its character design.

Just do SOMETHING aside from Human Elf Dwarf Orc Lizard.
Or for the love of Christ just add more goblins.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Void Elf, LF Draenei, DI Dwarf, Nightborne, HM Tauren, Mag'har Orc, Mechagnomes, Earthen, and maybe female zandalari, are mostly palette-swaps with some distinguishing features, but all the rest are distinct. That leaves:
