She has dreads
>>
Any modern game that takes inspiration from medieval Europe must have at least 50% black representation so they can feel like they did something other than throwing spears and eating mud for the past few hundred thousand years.

so every aryan player character gets their own black soldier gf. okay.
>>
>>729446589
That's racist.
>>
America worships the black race.
America woke ideology dictates that every single media production (games, movies, shows) shall have at least one black character, regardless of the setting (era and location).

American hegemony means that even non-American games (such as Kingdom Come II or expedition 33) feel pressured to conform to that unwritten rule.
>>
>>729446040
That's not an Afro, Afro is a specific type of hair and dreads as a hairstyles has shown up all over the globe in different culture independent from each other

At this point it is unavoidable unless your game has no humans at all.

Why you faggots cannot understand that WoW Classic was never good?
Your nostalgia is not about the game, is about the internet community back then.
Do you know why WoW became so big? because it was a good game? NO
WoW became massive because it was the first world renowned SOCIAL PLATFORM
>>
>>729448308
Classic has been 'solved' so the average retard will only do what is meta, so warrior only tanks in vanilla, priest only healers, etc
If you don't get in top 10% of all time kills, it's shit ,etc
Most of the subs come from botters in 3rd world coutnries who run around 100+ accounts with bots daily so the entire 'leveling meta' is just 'bro you're level 60, run my lev el 30 character through dungeons for an hour and I'll give you gold' but it's spammed non fucking stop in /trade

>>729448606
there were dozens of mmorpgs before wow, why didnt those become WORDL RENOWNED SOCIAL PLATFORMS?
because they werent as GOOD as wow

um, akshually

came out before it

But your point is mostly correct - people th en didn't have the same attitude towrards gaming now that they do. It's not even say, WoW that's the problem, gaming in itself has ended up being a retard's dick measuring contest for near two decades with the advent of online gaming, internet on phones, etc

>>729448695
Wow was the first one to get actual news attention. EVen in the UK it was on morning new programs, etc as 'this game is revolutioning it'
Even the fucking hyper sports retards had an account at least to 'try it' after the trial was a thing

Thanks for bringing it up, anon. I had the same experience when I tried retail out a few months ago.

Also found out they turned half of stormwind's NPCs into dark nigger apes like your pic.

Sanctuary vaguely copies our own world, in the East there are arab looking people and in the far east you find asian looking people and north of these people you find whtle people with russian accents
Akarat the Jesus of Diablo universe came from the east, hence he looks asian, his followers were all arab men who started the Zakarum faith and becase the Paladin order that then later shattered into different sects around the world

Yes.

A game can be dogshit and still have a good setting.

The thing is, you can have as many fucking niggers in your game as you want, so long as you have established ethnic groups from different areas, so the niggers come from some specific area of the game world.

What is intolerable is this color splash diversity with no explanation behind it that makes everything feel like a fucking community theater production.

In a pre-modern medieval fantasy setting, distinctive ethnic groups would be gathered around specific regions (as they mostly still are, even today.) Diversity in fantasy should look more like the Elder Scrolls, where you have an area that is mostly dominated by the native ethnic group with various travelers from distant lands wandering around as well. This color splash Burger King Kids Club diversity feels fake and corporate as fuck.

Not that anon but the BIPOC community does actually refer to black customs, including hairstyles, as afro, denoting afro-american heritage from africa.

Npcs are just window dressing to the game however. Each npc could be replaced by an ogre for all i care for they only serve functions of either the story or utility.

People play wow for different reasons. I myself only played wow to do quests and make gold and eventually get level cap before starting an alt and doing it all again. After I would get an epic mount on my fully leveled character usually id spend a lot of time in dungeons and helping out lower level players at a whim. The game and world are secondary to the point of a mmo. Which is a massively MULTIPLAYER online game. You are there for the other players at least a little bit.

If wow was a single player game with only humans as the playable race I could see why OP may have an issue with a black woman greeting him.
