People News Josh Sawyer plans to develop a historical RPG after his current project

his love for history

I'm so tired of hearing people say that. He's got an unhealthy interest for "sawyer-fun historical facts" such as how many teeth australopithecus had or if Aumaua have interdigital webbings and why. But he can't give less shit about actual history as he's demonstrated plainly by writing an extremely simplistic history for Eora (how an idiot might see history, not a historian), as well as through his general comments about history on SA.

You mistake an autistic person for something he can't be. He can't love history, because it's too broad a subject, and people with his disorder focus on small things like counting toothpicks.

The historical accuracy of weapons and armour stats in PoE is pretty laughable, too.

It's balanced though PoE isn't a historical game, which he even said, I think. In a historical game he'd probably try something different (pole-arms for everyone). Generally, a game has of course some limitations in accuracy, after all, it should be fun (yea, not if he makes it).

I am from Eastern Europe so I dont really understand the brain damage/mentality behind things like political correctness, feminism, SJW etc.

That's because you, unlike the smug western librals out of touch with the real world, have either lived through, or know enough about communism, to be able to tell hypocrisy and to recognize that a war on the meaning of words is the first step towards dictatorship/tyranny. They haven't eaten that kind of shit, and therefore think that eating shit is actually hip.

With Sawyer having, whatever his achievements as a student, a somewhat broader knowledge of western history thanks to his studies, I doubt he could go full SJW retard. When I say "broader" I mean "broader compared to California-based game designers born in the US".

Doesn't make it any less stupid that a game led by a "history buff" has very powerful leather armour and worldbuilding like the Vailian Republics.

You provincial Slavs are adorable.

Society is complicated here in California, but believe it or not it's possible to both accept lifestyles other than your own and believe the University PC crowd has gone way too far. Sawyer does a pretty good job with it, as does Obsidian in general. Stop making up shit to be pissed about.

Moderate progressives aren't any better.

here in California

 

[Crooked Bee]

First world vs third world itt

 

[Fry]

Hey, look.

Guy who's probably never been west of Gdansk hates a place he knows nothing about.

 

[Thonius]

Eastern Europe is not a third world!

 

[Bubbles]

Eastern Europe is not a third world!

Let's say it's third world in social terms and somewhere between first and third world in economic terms, depending on where exactly you live.

Oakland, California:

Gdansk, Germany Poland

 

[Fairfax]

Why the dog pic?

 

[vonAchdorf]

It gives the proper Californian 1st world vibe.

 

[Thonius]

It`s second world countries(former eastern block countries). And they are quite different in terms of freedoms etc.
Africa is third world and everybody know its fucked up continent, no country in Europe is fucked up to the same degree.

For every ugly pic of some of the worst parts of California I can show you a thousand beautiful pics of it.

As if that's the point of my post

 

[Excidium II]

Hopefully it will all sink under the pacific before western society reaches the point of no return.

Oakland, California:
Gdansk, Germany Poland

Erm... Gdansk, Poland Germany Danzig, Prussia

It's been all downhill since.

To be fair you can find beautiful pics of such nice places as Iraq, Siria , Niger (lel) etc

Nice cherry picking.

 

[Roguey]

I think he donated around 5k-10k each to Anita and Felicia Day (for some dead KS project lmao).

No. He specifically referred to it as a "trivial" amount of money.
