Isn't there a 'british' language, for #2? |
|
There is, not particularly fond of the syllable list (and as far as I can understand it's currently a species-specific language to Humans), but that could be doable. For the record, #2 is my main gripe, so another language is very much also welcome (to me, i'm not sure if others dislike #1 as much as I do) |
|
finally someone is based enough |
|
Nobody actually speaks japanese because we have race languages for every playable race now (even regular human) |
|
I completely disagree on both points. For starters they do not learn any new language, they just lose the ability to speak common. Second, I have had great RP moments using sheltered amd using the Me" function. It brings a new way to RP and gets around its challenges. Your reasoning for its bad for heads makes no sense when blind, deaf, and pacifist exist which you can just block heads from using instead. |
|
Considering you thought they knew japanese and didnt know they understand common, when is the last time you looked at sheltered? |
|
for one you could just blacklist from head roles two literally isn't true |
|
|
oh wait they only get Japanese if they don't have another language and nowadays everything has a second language. I mean that seems silly to me but w/e my main problem is no longer valid |
Document the changes in your pull request
This pull request removes the sheltered quirk from the codebase.
My justification for this is twofold:
1:
I do not think it adds much to the game, to have a group of people who can only speak to one another. I think that role should belong only to the mime, who is already unable to speak. This is ultimately a value judgement, and I happen to believe that this really does not add much value.
I believe it actively takes value away, in that it adds disabilities which can be not just the user's problem. For example, a head of staff having this quirk enabled messes with everyone else as well, not just this person.
2:
I think they should not know Japanese. This doesn't necessarily require the quirk to be deleted, but I'm unsure what else to replace the language which. I'd be happy with another language taking its place, but I'm not really that fond of ninjas and people with a "negative" quirk speaking the same language. Especially not when that language was meant to make it so the ninja couldn't communicate.
