She picked it up from all of the telegraphs she sends.
>3. FR FR we sneed to stop them.
>>729625634she looks like she had botched botox injections
>>729625634Do you lack critical thinking and the ability to use context clues? Anyone who did well in school would know "Full stop" is used similarly to "Point Blank Period" or "End of Story"
Are you implying telegraphs didn't exist in their world and that the phrase was not later co-opted by faggot Karens but rather that Karens, who are notoriously poor writers, hamfistedly used phraseology that makes absolutely no sense in a world without the invention of the telegraph? Stop the fucking presses.
love me bangers and mash, me. full stop.

I got a better question. Why are there Asian, Negro and Mexican elves in a medieval European fantasy world?
>>729625634Youngest retard doesn’t know about telegraphs kek
>>729625885>>729625785>>729626020based understanders. Everyone else is fucking retarded.
>>729626006It’s Thedas not medieval Europe. They might as well all be weird aliens like qunari
>>729626006Why are you afraid to talk this way in the open? Why do you have to retreat here to be racist?
>>729625953It still boggles my mind how many people had no idea what that meant.
>>729625932Yes my scro that's totally tubular radical awesome sauce 1337 h4x0r of you.bruh far out far out
>>729626006>medieval European fantasy worldWhat.
>>729625634It's a punctuation mark used to end sentences. It also means "a complete cessation".
>>729626006are there also asian dwarves? I'd love to see one of those lmao
>>729625634What the fuck is that face? Why the actual FUCK do western devs hate beauty so much?
>>729626149dis nigga boutta tell us green arrows was popularized by bbs emails lmao
>>729626006Better question is why are there human equivalent races for elves and dwarves, especially elves and dwarves whos designer went out of their way to make them nonhuman and not just rubber ear extensions.
>>729626006it's californian fantasy world, we europeans had nothing to do with this filth
>>729626162Isn't Kal-Shirok supposed to be like dwarven North Korea?
>>729626104Nta but I just recently came out of the chud closet to my gay friend and spend a lot of time talking shit about trannies and pajeets.
>Westernized Asian quirck chungus.Who actually wants this?
>>729626078But the qunari are weird grey dudes with cornrows.
>>729625634>if uncs vibes ain't bussin aight we out frfr ong full stop ah yes, the ancient beautiful language of the elves
>>729626362ain't them dragon age elves livin in ghettos
>>729625683"full stop" is the bonglish way of saying it, typically, actually.
>>729626264I'm friends with an unironic Crystal Cafe posting lesbian and she hates trannies even more than I do. Shit's wild.
>>729625634I hate that I find her to be a qt I also wish the combat in this game wasn’t so fucking terrible because it’s almost palatable as a Saturday Morning Cartoon style RPG but the enemy aggro is just fucking diabolical, >80% of fights are just rolling around waiting for a teammates heal to replenish whilst every mob chases you and ignores your team.
>>729626616Dykes hate trannies because they get more attention and are more opressed than they ever will be.
>>729626690I assumed it was because dykes didn’t want to have sex with men but are marked for death if they don’t want to suck a dick that claims to be attached to a woman
>>729626774Seems hyperbolic and not true
>>729626253It's extra retarded if you consider that in these fantasy universes dwarves and especially elves often already have their own variants with different skin colors, features, cultures and even languages, etc.
>>729626774>I assumed it was because dykes didn’t want to have sex with menThen why do they use dildos and always cheat on their girlfriend/wife with men?
>>729626774You assumed wrong.Live and learn.
>"I was wrong after all," said Gandalf, 'and Gimli too. Merry, of all people, was on the right track. The opening word was inscribed on the archway all the time! The translation should have been: Say "Unc" and enter. I had only to speak the Elvish word for old man and the doors opened. Quite simple. Too simple for a learned gooner in these suspicious days. Those were happier times. Now let us go!"
>>729626902Radical feminists despise men who pretend to be women. Just look at JK Rowling.

>>729625634The writer was away for a few days and had to submit some of xir drafts by telegraph
>>729625634It gives emphasis to something. It's modern slang that doesn't belong anywhere near a fantasy game, though.
>>729625634Shut up ESL retard.
>>729626749>Oof.It's a damn shame the writers of this game were fired. Oof.
>>729625634>Its over, over
>>729627120Radical men despise feminists.
>>729627647What's over, over?
>>729627621>firedHas that troon not fallen upwards to activision or some shit? No hopes for justice in this timeline allowed
>playing game that takes place far in the past>"let's just cut to the chase"Makes me pull out my fucking hair. Why would they be referencing video editing and car chases in their everyday speech?
>>729627802>horse chases weren't a thing, ever.Dumbo
>>729627689>men despise feminists:)
>>729625634What did OP mean by this, question mark.
Full SLOP
>>729627853Cut to the chase is a reference to editing films in the 1920s. Why would that apply in Dragon Age
>>729627853Dumbo was an elephant, not a horse
>>729626616I have a lesbo friend that makes them sound like skinwalkers or analogue horror monsters>be lesbian>go on the dating app >see one and move on but as time passes there's more of them>profile after profile of smiling, disturbed not-women>whole app is these things that want to find you>eventually find real girl to meet with>pre date nerves, cant choose between cute butch or pretty tomboy>enter cafe>not-woman's whole face wrinkles in a smile
>>729628040Why would any fantasy setting use english?
>>729627802Anon, they speaking regular fuck english doesn't make sense either, bit guaranteed nobody could understand the actual way people spoke, ontop of preconceptions of how they would conduct themselves often being too reserved.
>>729628163Basic concession for understandability. As far as the audience is concerned they are speaking a different language that is translated through abstraction
>>729625634
>>729628417Far Cry Primal had no english and people understood that perfectly fine.Why make excuses for talentless nepo hacks?
>>729628417the devs are localizers then. rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub!
>>729628540Alright, I concede, you win!
>>729625634Just saying, if this is something you hate, and all you post about is this shit you just end up making your posts portals into Hell. Just saying.
>>729626478It's the English way of saying it, not the burgerstan way. Murica moment
>>729628614That being said, a comedic undertone would help.
>>729628470the feminization of language.the feminization of culture.the feminization of society.this is why giving women rights was a mistake.
>>729625634How would you even localize that in a foreign language?
>>729628726dattebayo!
>>729628116Movie pitch idea>very unpassable lesbian trans woman >dating app>lures unsuspecting lesbians to cut off their skin to wear and become more feminine>after several murders, the protagonist (a huge buff dyke) fights back and seemingly defeats the tranny (leaving the room for a direct to VHS sequel)I'm kinda ripping off Silence of the Lambs on this one, but a lesbian gets to be the hero and a tranny dies at the end, maybe. Everybody wins.
>>729628726>Anaris is evil>.
>>729628726Punkt
>>729625634The fucking dialogue loop>THE EVANURIS ARE BACK AND ARE EVIL>Wait, you mean the evil Evanuris are back?>YEAH AND THEY'RE EVIL, THE EVANURIS ARE ANCIENT EVIL ELVEN GODS>So this means evil Ancient Elven Gods are back>YEAH, THE EVIL EVANURIS HAVE RETURNED
>>729628681>the feminization of language.what does this even mean >>729628726by translating it? every language probably has a saying like that including mine
>>729628919your post is feminine.
>>729628963your penis is feminine.
>>729625634HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>729625634this is the most hideous character I've ever seen.
>>729628990Your vagina is masculine.
>>729628990no it's not? you creep?
>>729625634Full stop comes from telegrams. Stop meant period, full stop meant end of message. So begging for a sloppy facefuck here is saying Anaris is Evil, end of discussion.
Despite its flaws, Veilguard was a much more ambitious game that wasn't afraid to take chances.Inquisition is the most "no balls" story I've ever seen and yet it somehow managed to be the best selling Bioware game and got game of the year.
>>729625634>we need to add races to fantasy races (species) because inclusion>OK ADD THE WW2 PROPAGANDA JAP CARICATURE RACE LOL BUT DROP THE GLASSES AND GO EASY ON THE BUCKTEETH OR IT WILL BE TOO OBVIOUSwhat the fuck is wrong with california
now i know how boomers felt about us butchering the english language
Tolkien was right. You need to understand language before you write fantasy fiction to perfectly create the "illusion of history".
>>729629182Ambitious? It went through development hell, getting kicked around as a singleplayer game then a live service game then back to a singleplayer game. Not afraid to take chances? Not a single mention of slavery is made in the region known for slavery. Then rocks fall everyone dies and Loghain was being manipulated behind the scenes by mystery niggas from across the sea. You give Veilguard too much credit.
This is what happens when you give power to people who demand infantilization. If you didn't infantilize the writers, anyone could've just walked up to them and said this sucks. When you have this kind of dogshit garbage, being mean is the only productive thing to do.
>>729629182Too bad that the chances they took were on making the most unappealing cast of characters straight off some hambeast's Tumblr.
>>729625634>british writing gross
>>729629392If nothing else, at least they finally accepted the RTwP combat was absolute trash and put in proper action combat
>>729625634I don't know what's worse: this or asari lecturing people about their pronouns in Andromeda
>>729629398>infantilizationthat's what happens when you listen to women and pander to them.
>>729629330Tolkien said that because he understood language. He used language to create a world through a lens he understood. It's a shame people just copy creating languages instead of what Tolkien put out. An engineer would create and interesting world through their understanding in engineering. A biologist could create interesting ecosystems. Frank Herbert was an ecological consultant, look at Dune and all the interesting themes there about terraforming efforts and where they went wrong.
>>729625634Let me guess, the writer(s) of Veilguard are millennials?
>>729629594And sucking jihadi dick, don't forget that.Asmiov btfo that pretentious prick.
>>729625634What is wrong with OP, on god
>>729626006Because it's not medieval Europe it's medieval Berkeley California
>>729629458I thought Inquisition's characters looked worse. Cassandra, Josephine, and Sera make the Veilguard women look like super models.
>>729629620Veilguard barely even did that well with Millennials or anyone really.
>>729629743All "realistic" people look awful to transexuals. It's a wonder you haven't snipped yet.
>>729628019
>>729629743I dunno man I think the fat chinese american library lesbian elf looked worse than a manjaw lesbian.If you degreased Sera she'd almost be fuckable compared to some of the failguard cast.
>>729626006Because the author painstakingly made it apparent that all of these people look different so that they can tell a story about very different people coming together on a quest that's bigger than all of them. The different looks are a reminder that people from all different walks are affected with the present crisis. Especially when you walk through the different cities where the people look the same. This creates inherent contrast that makes the world feel living.Oh wait, I'm thinking about the wrong game. In this game, they just thought diversity is a good thing so they put more good thing in the game.
>>729626006Because Jews want them to replace White people because they're easier to enslave under horrible working conditions.
Speaking of women and attractiveness, who the fuck designed this elf woman in DA2?
Every word has etymology tied to specific parts of our reality. The word “Panic” is in reference to the Pan of Greek mythology. The word “clue” is also tied to Greek myth, in reference to the thread used to navigate the labyrinth. Now, using the term “full stop” in a fantasy setting is retarded, but there is a level of suspension of disbelief you have to take when engaging with language in a fantasy setting in general. Autistic rant over
Stop making this thread
>>729630710And if a writer isn't a hack, they are aware of the Tiffany problem. Words carry cultural connotation, and "full stop" is a blatant connotational mismatch.
In the future when the world is Jeets and Changs, do you think it will be allowed to make a game set in a traditional European setting with whites?
>>729630786What you're saying is you want them to fully stop?
Based?Based on what?
>>729630857Most people would really not give a shit if the product was quality and there wasn't so much obvious malice put into their making.
Why does she have cheek fillers
>>729625634They are evil. Full stop. Period. Disagree? You are a chud and a nazi. Do not question it or try to find fault in their evilness. 6 million.
>>729630786this. full stop.
>>729630831The issue comes with how in the weeds you are willing to get with using ‘correct’ language. No matter what you do, there will likely be some anachronism present. If you don’t care at all, that’s dumb, but if you care to muck you completely destroy your capacity to write anything.
>>729628837>I'm kinda ripping off Silence of the LambsJust pitch it as a reboot for modern audiences and you'll get away with it even if it's slop.
>>729626929Because you can't use a drow or a duergar to recall how real life is, which is the drive for a lot of modern culture in some circles.The best they can do is inject contemporary real life people into them but that does not score any good boy points because people see them as their own thing.
>>729629528No you are full of shit, full stop.
>>729625634it's reddit for "fr fr"
>>729631394The idea of "correct" is stupid. We're talking art, not communication. Language is correct when it transmits the correct idea.Good written art is also thoughtful as well as just communicative. You don't use certain language for the same reason you're picky about the the local smithy using neon signs to advertise their business at the dead of night.
>>729631762That’s my point. How autistic do you want to get into those details? Are the armor styles meshing with the weapon styles? Is the architecture all of a consistent period?. The point is that both caring too little and too much is bad.
>Oh anon you are so funny! I can't. :skull: :skull :skull: :skull: :skull:
>>729631915No, it's not your point. Your point is that that makes it "whatever."My point is that while you're right about the idea of "correctness," that doesn't make it "whatever."You have more considerations. Just because a sculpture is arbitrary, all choices of where to chisel the rock aren't equal. Which choices are better is deeply subjective, but they aren't equal.
>>729632456My point is that the amount of choices you make is a well so deep that if you wanted you could do it forever. The point is that there is a reasonable amount, and that amount is lord between caring so little you don’t consider it at all and caring so much that you never actually make anything.
>>729632608Let's put a stop to going in circles.Do you believe that there are better and worse choices one can make in art? From a purely subjective point of view.
>>729625705>a phrase from literally 100 years ago is "quirk chungus"okay zoomie
>>729630967That's where she stores her nuts and seeds for the winter
>>729632826If I walked around wearing a fedora and calling women "m'lady", people would rightfully look at me like a freak. If I said there was historical precedent for my actions, that wouldn't stop them from pointing and laughing.
>>729625634I think "full stop" is a holdover from pre telephone days when long distance communications were done via Morse code on the telegraph, but I base this entirely on a Simpsons gag where some guy is reading a telegram and ends every sentence with "stop" and finally "full stop".
>>729632680Yes, and do you believe in some cases these details can be so insignificant that working to scrub them out can become a seemingly endless task that in effect leads to no real improvement to the piece of media as a whole?
>>729626060>WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!!?!?>uhhh actually I obviously understand what it means of course. I'm totally not an ESL that erroneously thought it was gen alpha slang. My complaint all along was that telegraphs don't exist in this setting
>>729625634I miss when elves were beautiful ethereal white people and not weird goblinas from Walmart.
>>729625634it means the game was written by a jew or an admirer of jewish writing
>>729629214TBF the writers of Shadowrun did it long before CA pedosexuals started doing it(though in Shadowrun it's at least explained how you end up with negro elves,asian dwarves, and latino orcs). Also Bioware is a canadian company.
>>729633005>do you believe in some cases these details can be so insignificant that working to scrub them out can become a seemingly endless task that in effect leads to no real improvement to the piece of media as a whole?Yes, absolutely. No brainer.Let's return back from that hypothetical to what we have at hand.Then what's so unfair about someone saying from their subjective perspective>this choice of word sucked because it invoked modernityPeople don't have to agree with it, but a lot of people agree with it. The team is making art for society to judge and they knew it. For society at large, something about it invokes modernity. It might be completely unfairly so, but the connotation is there.You can argue about shades of grey, but trying to argue black into white is just a fool's errand. You can question why something is considered white or black. That's a good topic of conversation. You can't just paint it all black and expect people see white. Is it possible that's an indictment of society itself sometimes? Yes, absolutely. But in this case, I think you're trying to argue that black is white.
>>729625634>says "full stop"how can I not respond with the response that also uses stop?
>>729630710A fairly common oversight in fantasy settings is having varieties of weapons, cheese, alcohol, etc that are named after a country or region that doesn't exist in this setting. If someone can miss something like Switzerland, France, or Scotland not existing in their setting, then they'll easily overlook turns of phrase which they've never considered the literal origin of.
>>729633810It's a bit disingenuous to compare Warcraft universe to the Dragon Age universe, no? Warcraft breaks the fourth wall all the time.
>>729633943I could definitely see people complaining if DA2 was stylized like WC3.
>>729633810What about coming-out sessions where you talk like a random idiot online using modern-day politics? Is that easy to overlook?
>>729629182>ambitiousgenuinely the most insane post I've seen all year. here's you're retard awardboth weekes and epler the main writers went so down the SJW rabbit hole after 2015 they entered another universe. I forget which one it was that's on record stating they no longer found it appropriate for a white person to talk about/depict slavery
>>729633943Warcraft is also a garbage bin setting where they just tossed in whatever so they could make a game.I mean they literally ripped off games workshop because they wanted to make a warhammer fantasy game
>>729633810in this case they went with "swiss" because you know what it isimagine they name it some fantasy cheese name but then you would have no idea what kind of flavor this cheese is supposed to have
>>729633810I guess some are funny when you think about it. Like I'm sure its a translation issue, but Bloodborne mentions Molotov Cocktails, the Hippocratic Oath and Spartans.
>>729625997Chinks wish they were this Bogged
>>729634157nta, but I think it can be kind of twee when games attach fantasy names that aren't already being referenced in some way to items.Honestly, I'd rather they just call it "cheese."And, I dunno, "sharp" cheese if they want to have another variety.

>>729626104are you unaware of the censorship apparatus employed on wrongthinkers over the past 15 years?
>>729634619They haven't had an independent thought in the last 15 years, why would they be aware of such an apparatus
>>729625634Why?Is India really to blame for all this? Also, I wouldn't be surprised if OP is the same fag that made the /pol/ as a Kingdom Come thread going right now, and is sperging out in it. Also also, he's replying to himself here too.
>>729634568The term predates the telegraph.
>>72962600695% of modern Elves in Thedas are mudblooded mutts from the systemic rape of their species.I am not joking.
>>729625859you're retarded
>>729632972>rightfullyExplain why it would be "rightful" for them to do that
>>729625634That's just how leftists talk irl. You didn't seriously expect good writing from this zogslop, did you?
>>729626104>Why are you afraid to talk this way in the open? Why do you have to retreat here to be racist?Why are you projecting your insecurities onto others? Not everyone behaves like you do.
>>729636869People should be shamed for acting out of the ordinary. It's bad for society when people act however they want with no social consequences. That's how you get trannies and other homosexuals.
>>729636969>its okay to ostracize>Okay *proceeds to lynch blacks, jews, asians, paedos and sodomites*>NOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT!!!
>>729636869You're too far gone to understand.
>>729633543Nothing I said was in defense of whit specific situation. My point is that in general you are never going to have a perfect situation where none of your dialogue invokes the real world in some way that could hypothetically take you out of the narrative. Do what you can to about it, but don’t make it the be all end all because in most situations that aren’t this specific one, the situation is in fact shades of gray.
>>729625634>Tranny >Cuck cuck cuck cuck >Memed>Based How about you try to explain your inane schizo bable before trying to figure out more schizo babbles?
>>729637171Nah man. You designate one of your hundreds of workers to do that. This wasn't made by a small team of indie devs. If you have the cash which they did, you can put in passion if you cared. They didn't care and it shows.
>>729636969>People should be shamed for acting out of the ordinary.>People should be shamed for not adhering to arbitrary social standards that change every 10 yearsWhy? The fact that the standards change every X years is proof enough that the standards are completely arbitrary. Should you be shamed for posting on 4chan, since it's out of the ordinary? >>729637161More like you're far too retarded to explain.
>>729637518>Should you be shamed for posting on 4chan, since it's out of the ordinary?Yes. If I were sitting in public broadcasting that I post on 4chan, either by shouting about what a dank memer I am, or just by having my screen visible to passersby, I would expect people to look at me funny and that's a good thing. If only we could shame the jews and the gays like when we were a proper country.
>>729626774Both are true, there's also another reason. Trannies keep arguing that gays and lesbians don't really exist, and are just trannies who accepted it yet.
>>729637105It’s okay to ostracize people and to follow that to the logical conclusion that you propose. What now?
>Dwarf companion has a quest where you need to meet some temple guardians>warned they’re deeply zealot toward their god>meet them>everyones start immediately cracking jokes about the god>zealot guards join inis there a single scene in that game not tainted by irony
>>729637315My point is that it’s theoretically infinite work depending on how much detail you want to get into. My point was that there’s a limit that can be expected. I don’t expect someone to come up with a new word for “panic” just because in our world, that word is in reference to the Greek Pan. While it is anachronistic and wrong to expect that word of a fantasy universe, I would make fun of anyone who thought that using the word “panic” took them out of the story.
>>729637919Wrong.
>>729625634>only decent character in the game is a faggy Necromancer that’s not allowed to be evil >give him a quirky sidekick skeletonI know they ran this game through a corporate thresher until any semblance of quality was throughly stripped away but holy shit this end product is more baffling than Concord or Borderlands, it’s like they took anyone of quality working there behind the building and shot them

>>729637171>>729638637Are you familiar with the concept of motte-and-bailey? It used to be really popular to point this out in internet debate culture, and it does apply now.You're defending a disanalogous principle here. Sure, your principle has a point in some situation.How does it actually connect here? You've basically escaped the entire conversation to even make that point.
>>729625705No, it's not. It's an anacronism. It is not very different at all from her saying "Hashtag: Powerful."Full stop is a term you'd use making telegraph messages from around 1850ish.Doesn't make much sense in a world of magic and bullshit where that was never invented much less theorized.
>>729630610I kinda preferred the fucked up alien facial proportions of the Elves from DA2, at least the way their brow and the bridge of their nose had no visible in-between point and were just a smooth slope down to the nose tip. i guess I just feel like it makes it easier for the DA humans to btfo the Elves over and over if they're uncanny enough to remove any feelings of guilt.
>>729626104>grrr stop being anonymous just let me ruin your life chud!
