why cant game developers be more creative instead of just using the same old 4 recycled fantasy races all the time

because elves are neat, dwarves are fun and cool and goblins are erotic you dumb jackoff, any more questions?

Goblin sex

>>716501927 (OP)
In BG3, for example, they are using an established work (D&D/Faerun) and people familiar with the work are going to have certain expectations.

ME did a good job of having both humanoid and truly alien species. Was it more skewed toward the former? Sure, but that is important for players empathy toward the others.

>>716501927 (OP)
Because if it's not broken, don't fix it

Goblin impregnation

>>716501927 (OP)
no. is veilguard and baldurs gate 3 not enough proof of what happens if you let creative trannies run riot?

>>716501927 (OP)
she looks like she fucks human men

Because the statistics

Baldur's Gate takes place in the Forgotten Realms, an established fantasy setting with nearly 40 years of existing lore and Ed Greenwood's fetishes to represent.
If they fucked with it then it wouldn't be Baldur's Gate.

>>716501927 (OP)
Most fantasy races are just humans with an altered appearance. Elves are humans with big ears. Dwarves are humans but short. Goblins are humans but short and green.
To actually come up with new races who have unique anatomy, behavior, and cognition all while trying to build societies and cultures around them takes immense amounts of time. It's easier to just copy and paste human behavior onto the recycled fantasy races you mentioned.

Obsidian tried all they got was ridicule for the orlans, aumauas, and godlikes

>>716501927 (OP)
I've never cared if something has been used before I just hate how common elves and orcs are.

Give me centaurs

Why can't devs of this game release the sales numbers?

Because we haven't really tapped into the full potential of the current races

Want the real answer? I dont think you do. You just wanted to post a sexy goblin that would be ripe for plapping by human degenerates.
But to give the one or two in this thread the real answer why devs or writers tend to use the 4 races: elf, dwarf, human and orc is because they fit human stereotypes.

>elves
The more noble and beautiful. Long lived and wise. They are mostly portrayed as scandinavians. Tall, blonde and blue eyes. They are the envy of humanit and ideal of humanity.
>dwarfs
They are the hardworking artisan types. Industrialist, craftsmen and inventors. Dwarves are sturdy, solitary and tend to be stubborn. They like gold, alcohol and precious gems. Ever dealt with an 15+ senior non-software engineer? They act a lot like dwarves. In short they represent the ingenuity and curiosity of humanity.
>Orcs
Orcs are in short the barbarians of the fantasy races. They are thick brutes that take what they want with strength. Half-orcs exist not out of love but of rape from orcs. The orcs obviously reflect the more primitive side of humanity. But due to Warcraft and DnD sort of normalizing orcs and integrating them into the 'main' races, that savage barbaric stereotype has been delegated to goblins now.
>Humans
Humans are the catch all race. Which is why you see blacks and whites being blended among each other. Unlike in our real world, black humans and white humans are no different. They dont have any cultural differences what so ever. The only other human that seems to be different are desert dwelling humans, typically resembling arabs or turks, and asian humans who just reflect what china or japan is but in a fantasy setting.
The reason why blacks tend to mingle with whites in fantasy settings is because orcs/goblins inhabit their stereotype.

Because money. They have to appeal to the lowest common denominator (normalfags) to make the most money.

>>716502207
To be honest, BG3’s setting looks generic as fuck. I don’t care if it’s “established.”

>>716502502
>the more a character is like you the more you relate
>most gamers are white straight men
>that's why we fill our games with lesbian nigger women which they can never even begin to relate to

HUH??

>>716504671
if it's generic it's only because everything else has imitated it since.

Think we'll ever get a rerelease of BG3 with a bunch of more content? Remember, BG3 did have a ton of cut content, despite the EA originally claiming it would release when it was all ready.

There were two other classes planned to be in our party, one of which was a bard.

>>716504576
don't act like most of /v/ doesn't dismiss most actual creativity as "tranny shit"

>>716502332
Is there a more compatible race with humans than goblins?
I don't think so

>>716504921
>Think we'll ever get a rerelease of BG3 with a bunch of more content?
No.
Not a chance.
Literally impossible.
It isn't only not happening, it's not even up for consideration.

>>716501927 (OP)
1) because it's easy.
You see an elf, you know exactly what the game means. Any tweaks you add will flow easily from that base.
The somaflanges have no such base. You have to design them from the bottom up and get that across to the player, and you also risk falling into a second trap:
2) because if it ain't broke, don't fix it
Nobody wants to see someone try to be "original" and end up ripping off fantasy tropes anyway. If the somaflanges are just elves with a new coat of paint, what's the fucking point? You've just wasted all the effort when you could have had an elf

>>716501927 (OP)
1) normals won't buy it
2) gacha niggers won't buy it

there's no money in creativity

>>716501927 (OP)
normies who they want to get big bucks from can't empathize with things that don't look like them

What would you do if your goblin got permanently transformed into a fat ugly halfling?

>>716505246
Snap her fucking neck

Because everything is about money
Cant have the player be a naga or a centaur, we would have to make completely different animations for the snake/horse lower body.
Problematic if you have to climb ladders or some other shit.
Cant have the player be a slime (actually I dont know why, you could just have them be humanoid)

Thats why you get human, tall human, short human maybe human with a beast head if youre lucky

>nooo dont use classic fantasy creatures

fucking retard

>>716501927 (OP)

>>716505340
You'll probably strangle her before being able to snap her neck through all that fat.

Cthulhu ruined BG3 for me, I wanted a traditional game with humans, elves, dwarfs, goblins, orcs and so on. Then they forced this whole worm in the head thingy that ruined free roleplaying completely.

They are by definition NOT the best because
- You can't romance any
- You can't have any on your team
- You can't find them as prostitutes
- You can't see them naked (not even any mods for that)

>>716507735
Short girls are unsafe horny even if they got adult female features.

>Porn comic made by a guy who draws lesbians
>Forced lesbianism
Your brain is broken or rotten.

>internet decides it likes goblins

This is retarded. It's like if the internet developed a World of Warcraft troll fixation but then shrank all their unique features. I'm not saying uglymaxx but don't just toss all the stuff that makes the thing unique.

>>716506576
She's trying to neg, poorly.

They could be more creative but people tend to gravitate towards beautiful elves and humans

because then people dont buy it (in the quantities you need)

What's a race you think deserves more attention then? For me it's gargoyles

>>716508006

This is every coomer internet fad. It always devolves into anime girls.

The forced lesbianism doesn't make it better, just adds to the cringe.
Now shut the fuck up you cherrypicking retard.

This story is forcefully dragged on and milked to high heavens. The most interesting it had been was with the mother and that human dude. Everything else is just boring. The girls are hot, but it lacks actual substance everywhere else. He should have had the main girl go on an actual adventure with sex ensuing, rather than just moving onto a different camp or town each chapter to watch people have sex.

>>716508126

No they're not. You're fucked in the head.

>>716508148
>And the art gets worse and worse every page.
There's at least an explanation for that. The artist fucked his hand up and had to basically relearn how to draw.

>>716503329
I like the concept of centaurs, but then if romance is involved then you are going to be dealing with horse genitalia, if you are a chick then is just too big and if you are a guy no meter how big your dick is she wont feel anything back there.
Monster races in general are just weird when it comes to sex with humans unless they look basicallg human, weird stuff.

>>716508713
This. No one wants to be a 3ft tall useless cumsocks but God if i don't want to romance one

>>716508006
They need to be attractive and the most attractive people are going to exhibit universally attractive traits. There's also no consensus on what goblins look like, just that they're small and mischievous. Most people imagine them as being green and having pointy ears to make them more fantastic - but there's nothing that says they have to look that way. In order to portray them as being more savage than humans, they might also have sharp teeth, claws, unnatural eye colors or spotty skin - but there's nothing to say they have to look that way.

>>716508608
It is pretty wild that /v/ has regular goblin threads since one look at any single one of these threads will show you they have nothing to do with video games. People come here and spam goblin art, but it's almost never video game related. At best you'll get the anons who bemoan we can't fuck Sazza in BG3 and maybe someone will post the WoW abominations, but these threads are mostly not-vidya. I'm not sure why they aren't just banned.

>>716501927 (OP)

How does the second sentence logically follow from he first one? If anything the first one suggests people don't want diversity. Assuming relatability is something desirable.

You do know all the sensitive nerves for a vagina is around the opening right? DEEP PENETRATION being the thing that women like is a thing invented by porn.

>>716509139
Why are the fantasy races in general so boring anyway?
Basically just humans with different type of ears, green, or short and hairy.
Where is something that is like half tiger, half crocodile, half wolf, half horse or ox, or other cool shit?
Why cant i play as something cool, like a giant humanoid ape?
Dark Myth Wukong at least tried something different.

>>716509139
To be fair all Dwarf and small HUMAN races are pretty boring. They're just midgets in appearance, which is not interesting or fun for people to customize characters around. It's not the same as giving people orcs, goblins, or any kind of more monster-like races. You give people the ability to make attractive orc women and that's easily going to shoot up in popularity.

>>716510490
Not siding with any argument here, I just need to add much needed context to your post. Dragonborn in BG3 is a special case. The Dark Urge is it's own story mode (mostly just special interactions), and while it isn't required to pick Dragonborn, that's the base race it's set under. Dark Urge is usually picked as the second or third playthrough, so people tend to gravitate picking that race at that point, just to experience the different racial interactions and fill the Dark Urge character vibe more.

As for the whole diversity faggotry, that's dumb.

Does it really matter when the top three things picked are, as always, in every fantasy and sci-fi game ever made, Elves, Half-Elves, and Humans? It's honestly a waste of time to make anything else, because those three are all people really want.

>>716508006
That's why it was super fucking disappoint that there wasn't goblin companion in BG3. The goblins in that are so fucking perfect. They're both fugly, fun and fuckable.

Good.
I'm sick of the bland edgy bullshit that has to infest everything because people can write for shit.

Those are just Lizardmen though, Kobolds are dogs and Orcs are pigs.

>>716510842
>Why is this so hard for modern devs

Let's not forget games like SWTOR where the most picked race was, of course, Human, followed by Sith Purebloods, which are just red skinned Humans.

Self inserting yourself into a character you identify with or idolize is and never will be healthy. I play games and read to experience something different, not try to live my life in some other hopelessly unrealistic setting. Normans will roll shit like humans or blood elves (humans with gay eyes and knife ears), and not because of any racial ability (but that does happen, just not for normies) or advantage, just because they can't imagine playing something that isn't themselves.

I don't give a shit if a character is a giganigga, trans, or some other amalgam of demographics, if the game is halfass decent and the character is written well (and not the smug know-it-all, somehow laughably serious and straight faced but always has a one liner or zinger whenever anyone disagrees with something), I legitimately don't care. Shoehorn whatever boutique demographic you want in, but at least fucking try to give them any redeeming qualities. Somehow it's even worse because they refuse to give these characters meaningful flaws, like anything they have difficulty with is from some sort of outside influence like racism, not because they're an individual like everyone else with flaws, bias, and other shit.

What's "special" about making a humanoid race a stand in for non whites that exists only to be killed or destroyed? Orcs were always black coded, once in a while mongolian coded, and were created just so white guys playing the game could act out their racial genocide fantasies. This is a good change.

To be true, helf provide many stuff for the new players and the dnd "veterans". Free initial cantrips, dark vision, better saving throws against enchantments, movement speed are very useful for any class early on. Also +1 bonus points in 2 characteristics and +2 to charisma, which is useful for almost everything.
They can totally change your early level development.
Helf rouge, get minor illusion or more movement
Helf cleric, extra damage cantrip like fire bolt (better than most cleric weapons early on)
Helf fighter, cantrip makes you a magic user and damage cantrips are a good alternative to range
Helf paladin, damage cantril
Helf monk, even more movement or a cantrip

Not only that but the focus of the book, or the backstory would simply be detailing the sex, drugs, and gore without anything of substance.

Tolkein had some corny ass names and ideas, but it's a reliable way to filter people who claim to enjoy reading. There's a stupid amount of prose and detail, which can be challenging if you only read fan fiction or young adult novels as a 40 year old. The detail isn't even the problem, it's boring to them because it doesn't involve character interaction or drama, or sex/sexual imagery.

>elves are better in every way
The entire reason LOTR ever takes place is because elves were naive retards. They are nearly immortal, but they don't procreate often, especially not often enough to maintain their population, and for the most part, due to the aforementioned naive retards, their powers are greatly diminished and a fraction of what they were. They're not perfect, but they are powerful and carry prestige from their former glory.

I'm fine with everything but the hairy feet

Dwarves kinda suck in dnd and they are even worse in bg3. The disadvantages of being small, but without the advantages of being small. Walk slow as fuck, but don't get to fit into small spaces. I feel like thats the reason they are so low. Everyone loves dwarves right?

>>716514759
>elves were naive retards
i was already convinced that elves are in a vegetative state compared to humans but ok

Dwarves have always had a low playrate in every edition of tabletop D&D and they were never popular. No one likes Dwarves outside of a very small group that shout a lot about about how much they like them. Dwarf fans are basically furries, a really loud and retarded minority.

This also helps a lot. The game uses preset facial features you can swap around, not sliders, so it heavily affects players that went the cosmetic choices. There's also the fact that races have different starting stats and perks. Aren't elves better at magic and most ranging skills? I forget.

True, which is why i never purchase games with black or brown protagonists.

>>716517636
The "people" that respond to that sort of marketing research are all low IQ near retards. It takes a certain level of intelligence to put yourself in other people's positions. Empathy has an IQ threshold.
As games are more targeted to a wider audience, they necessarily try to appeal to these low IQ people, who can't empathize with anything not "literally me". Why do you think its only black people who can't enjoy characters that aren't black?

Following the popularity of D&D, RPGs without an established setting tend to do worse commercially. The only real exceptions to this are Fallout (1997), Mass Effect (2007) and Dragon Age (2009).

>>716524946
Ford v. Dodge was a court case that established that a corporation's only duty is to provide value for shareholders, even at the expense of its own wellbeing or that of its employees.

>>716524946

>>716512395
>>716524946
>clueless zoomie
He's referencing the precedent set by the ford v dodge lawsuit which required corporations to act solely in the interest of their shareholders, aka, fiduciary duty. The lawsuit was quite literally over Ford wanting to pay his workers higher wages and offer them benefits, and Dodge, a company that owned a significant portion of Ford, wanted the returns to benefit shareholders first and foremost.

how much light beer and Facebook do you have to poison your brain with to believe that corporations act the way they do solely due to being strong armed by a legal precedent?
That's not how laws work, and it's certainly now how material incentives work.

>>716525445
Markets can and do exist outside of capitalism. There is no pure capitalist system, the only relatively successful economies have been mixed economies, which incorporate elements from socialism and capitalism. Those things are fucked up for other reasons, namely lawyers and excessive regulation. I don't mean that regulation is bad, but it becomes stifling for new players and normie retail investors, while the gigacorps have the money to get around it. Also lawyers in general.

Socialism, especially communism is not perfect and would have different, but equally awful problems. It does not help that the only modern proponents larp about collectivism but do everything in their power to differentiate themselves from the working class they claim to advocate for.

>>716525703
>thats not how laws work
It is, though. Yes, most of them would still be solely focused on profit, but the difference is you have to act in the interest of shareholders, or at least justify things to them in terms that it'll pay off later.

Missing the point and I don't really have any cultural grievances with anyone. I think the left/rightbrained culture war shit is retarded, I don't identify with either of them, and it never ceases to make me laugh that armchair commies are almost entirely middle-upper class college kids who don't want to work, constantly look down on the working class and manual labor, and go to extreme lengths to appear unique while pushing collectivism. None of these people are serious, and none of them have any actual conviction or solutions.

>>716509139
How much of this is gameplay reasons over aesthetic choices? What if you make a turn based RPG, and the different races correspond to different stats which matters for what job class you want to be? It's very easy to not make a "this class is just bad at everything" mistake if you don't have to take into account physical movement or hitbox/hurtboxes.

for me its that they always have an extremely generic design. even just the LOTR movies alone, which is a single fantasy universe, has more variety of types and appearances of orcs and goblins. why is all fantasy, including and especially baldurs gate 3, so generic in comparison?

Because DnD is generic, Forgotten Realms is a generic DnD world, the Sword Coasts is a generic part of Forgotten Realms. So it's a generic of the generic in the generic. Yet even in Forgotten Realms there are different kinds of goblins in different areas, like Kara-Tur or Chult.

how?

After I learned how to abuse stealth I can't do anything else, every encounter is the same.

>>716537912
I guess maybe we have a different opinion on what "generic" means, but the orcs in the Lord of the Rings films just look like gray monster men to me. Like they don't have very unique defining characteristics or anything. The half-orcs in BG3 (there are no orcs in BG3) are big and muscular, have gray, green or reddish-purple skin, and small tusks. That's a fantasy race to me. In Lord of the Rings, that's just some Maori dudes in makeup.

I just want to blow my load in savage little women who desperately want to be bred.
Is that so hard for cucked breastmilk-stealing retardo nu-devs to understand?

>>716538439
That's a fantasy race, but it sounds like they all look the same in BG3.
In the pic the anon posted, the orc groups are generally distinct, with different sizes, eyes, hair, and showing grey, red, black and green skin.
