Game slightly ruined

Hento · #1 11-24-2009, 04:21 AM

Although I absolutely love many new changes like battle statistics, smarter and more balanced skills system for all 3 classes, sharper visuals of units and many many other things which make me regret that the original doesn't have all that....

But...all this is slightly, if not much, ruined by the fact that a main character is a half naked woman. How are you suppose to relate to that?

And original had such good selection of fine looking guys...it's a damn shame for all that progress in so many other areas to be ruined by such weird design decision that restricts you to play only as single half naked woman.

You could have at least make it so that the king had 2 children, boy and a girl, so you could select male or female character, just some minor tweaks to do story would be needed.

Are you maybe planning of doing that, as an update or something?

P.S.
I am very disappointed that you completely ignored this easy fix-

Also, how do you leave the first island?

Is this a joke? 95% of the time you are forced to play as a male character in a game, and you don't hear female gamers complaining about that. This time it's a woman - it fits in with the story. Really, if this is your biggest problem with the game, then it must be an awesome game indeed (which it is).

You leave the island by boarding your ship and pressing the 'Distant Travel' button which appears above the minimap in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Don't bother trying to relate to the half naked woman, just play the game and enjoy staring at her for hours on end!

Hento, the choice was not given because of the storyline

And I do not simply understand, what's wrong with Ameli? And if you don't like half neked women, just choose warrior or paladin class, both models are more then half dressed

Of course, that's because 95% of players are male, not female, so it has to be that way, it's very hard to get into RPG when even your ingame gender is wrong...

You gotta be kidding me, you have 70% of internet content for those kind of things....btw, you do know what RPG means?

And no, and don't enjoy staring at her one bit, in fact, whenever I am reminded that I am playing as a woman the experience is lessened.

You really beleive that 95% of players are male? And what does in-game gender have anything to do with 'getting into' RPG.

Sorry, my mistake, it's more like 99%.

Everything, of course.

No, not 95% OVERALL GAMERS are male, but the figure isn't exactly far off. But when it comes to KB, I am willing to bet that 95% or even more is the male populace. Girl gamers usually play casual games like zuma and whatnot, KB is too complicated and involved for most girls to get into.

I don't mind the half-naked thing. I even put her nickname "Amelia the Napaljena" (Napaljena = Horny) to match her.

It may be too complicated if you try to get the highest score, otherwise it is rather simple and what is more essential for female gamers looks like a beautiful fairy tale. I personally know many girls, who played it and enjoyed, even if they are very far from gaming.

I agree it does look "cute" to some extent and it may be a plus for girls (especially the dragon, which, even though I'm not a fan of, have grown a soft spot looking the way he plays with the snail).

But still, I haven't played on easy to figure out how easy the game on that setting is (I assume most of the 2-3% of girls that play KB will play on easy).
