Fantasy Games - What WoW is and what sould be

[Wandman]

Fantasy gaming is not always realistic (hence the name), but at least tries to portray its inhabitants in a semi-realistic way. The traditional wizard is a gaunt and pallid individual, a man who has slaved away in a musty room and committed himself to years of exhaustive study. And as for the Amazon archetype, well, I think a lot of gamers are just happy to have her around.

Imagine my surprise when I tried to create my first human mage in World of Warcraft. Traditionally, MMORPGs have given you basic options for changing your character's size and physical appearance. It could be a slider that increases the physical height or bulk of the avatar, or a more complex system that allows you to change your character’s proportions. Regardless of the options, Warcraft has done away with that antiquated system and instead allows players to select from a menu of hair color, facial piercings, and face options. What's left is a character who is the same height, weight, and size as every other character in their race.

While this route has led to a society full of Swedishly-attractive, Aryan superhumans, it creates a false image of how these fantasy characters should look. Warcraft women have child bearing hips, large breasts, and slender legs. They charge into fights with sexist battle-cries and fight with all the passion of Walker Texas Ranger extras.

While it should be noted that these are fantasy games, it doesn’t give Blizzard the right to be lazy. Mages should be hunchbacked from years of study, Warriors should be horribly scarred from epic fights with bloodthirsty foes, and Druids should be filthy hippies who protest outside of Ironforge.

Que el tipo haga algo en lugar de lanzar caprichitos, como por ejemplo, presentar su laburo a blizz y cambiar todo desde adentro.

Ese "should be" es tan soberbio, y ya es comunacho en las comunidades de nardos mancos que me rompe las pelotas.
