Part 3 of Fru's Demands[Completely (un)Warranted] (COMING SOON!)

just because rhoynish get rewarded for dangerous fights doesn't mean that ONLY dangerous fighting should be rewarded further

you're still a character at the end of the day, not just a punching bag that screams.

I stare at rhyonish lore supporting being punching bag that screams
i stare at rhyonish mechanics supporting being punching bag that screams

i see only punching bag that screams

i must respectfully disagree...

where my punching bag that screams homies at? Plz.

see, the thing is there is a difference between being a character who is a punching bag that screams (good) and a personalityless avatar for the player that uses the game as a vehicle for verbing rather than telling a story (bad)

I see a VERY slim difference, but not much of one.

A character who is a punching bag that screams likely has no personality beyond that, maybe sometimes they do. But if someone made a character to be like that, it's probably because they're more interested in pvp/pve elements of the game in the first place, and their story will revolve around combat, trials, wounds, loss etc.

A personalityless avatar that is a vehicle for verbing rather than telling a story is likely going to follow the same exact format. The only difference is there will be less effort put into roleplays, logs or character development.

They're both going to focus on fighting, winning and "Battlechadding" as the saying goes. But, that's a personal opinion tbh.
