Maybe they're going the gritty, "realistic" route too.

"You had one in the last game, how many more do you want!". Or "It's a fantasy game made by the Japanese, there aren't many black people there."

If the aesthetics don't matter, why not play text-based games only?

You don't think that seems derivative if these are their personalities?

I'm not saying personality isn't important, but in this medium, the appearance is also very important.

It does look 'off'.

That is interesting, I wasn't aware of the ages of the characters.

You don't think his unusual, but cute design doesn't play a part in why he's popular?

*lol*

I can respect that. They have that SE 'look' that they've used for the last few years. I'm burned out on it at this point.

You've got me dead to rights, good job.

So a character's physical appearance in a videogame is irrelevant?

You're right. A few years older perhaps, but indeed.

You forgot Altair, or is it Ezio? I forget.

*lol*

Am I alone in being underwhelmed by the characters we've seen so far?

That's not a woman...

I may go in half with you on the sacrifices for one of those.

You liar, everyone knows it's part of freshman orientation.

It's 'Angry Birds: Rio Dos' ya jerk.
