Why don’t game authors consistently give demons armour and weapons? Anonymous 13-10-24 00:26:27 No.37473[Reply]

Aren’t demons (well the Christian or Nordic ideas of demons) used in most games representations of human violence and anger? What better way to represent that anger than by consistently giving all demons in gaming weapons and body armour. You’d think games a lot about demons like diablo, World of Warcraft, Doom, Quake, the entirety of the souls borne series and the elder scrolls series would get this right. However, games like warhammer fantasy, and the Doom reboots to a small extent end up portraying demons less as nudists with big claws and more as murder-obsessed barbarians.

This is an honest question btw. Does anyone here that has a background with digital and tabletop games actually understand this shit?

Humans use weapons because we're weak mortals. Demons don't need weapons for the same reason a tiger or a rhinoceros doesn't need weapons.

it mostly depends of how the demons are portrayed both physically and mentally, doom and quake as example are mostly non sapient while warhammer demons have a far more limited intelligence, but they are still intelligent, and reboot doom demons use of corruption to enslave the more intelligent races to make weapons or stronger demons for them like they did with humans and sentinels.
on the flipside where are the human characters that rip and tear demons and monsters with their bare hands and hardly uses weapons, they always are peak, but only God hand or LISA has that type of shit.

I think it'd be neat to make demons based off like, what non-human animals would think demons are like.

You (probably) know how servitors and some citizens on krieg are artificially created in vats called ‘Vito wombs?’ Well the technology to just… casually mass produce human beings in exists and has for quite some time now. Hell, it wouldn’t even be too expensive to simply just start mass producing humans through egg-semen injections whose embryos are grown in synthetic broth-filed vats and then training all the newborns in daycare and education facilities anyways. Plenty of these facilities are getting progressively emptier due to the lack of children available.
I find this technology to be uniquely horrifying for these reasons. Outside of being kind of fucked up on a conceptual level, the amount of questions such a technology brings about the actual worth of human life. How precious is a person if they can have their numbers grown synthetically at rates faster than a bacteria’s? Fuck me man…

The game goes further than that. The ideologically pure wafflers are very much embodied by Joyce. The game, in turn, is smart enough to recognize that there is an opposite side to that and that's Evrart and his gluttony.
You are right though, the thing everyone inside and outside the game misses - even, if not especially, Dros - is that the real movement is happening right under their noses. Just like in real life.

Are there any science fiction games or books that take advantage of geothermal energy? The idea of any species taking full advantage of a planet’s energy reserves. The idea of a planet like earth becoming absolute 0 on the surface from the sheer energy extraction present on it sounds hardcore.

Depends on many things. The heat of the core and the diffusion of thermal energy throughout any planet itself also keeps it warm anywhere throughout the universe. After enough extraction, you’d start fucking up the planet

The 2 came out, and has lots of factions. Apparently, you are able to get ""political"" in the sequel, and you have more options to chose from than "fascist A" and "religious fascist B".
Also it will allow modding, so there is a opportunity to you smart guys to do something cool with the base game.
What are you guys opinions about it?

An addendum, in the "Order" focus tree, although is never explicit on the nose, there is subtle storytelling by use of words and iconography, that this path leads to "fascism":
>An organised militia will maintain peace and order in our city and help us deal with anyone who might threaten it.
1) Usage of paramilitary forces who use of violence and coercion, supported by the state in indirect means. Those points are expressed in the laws "Neighbourhood watch", "Guard Stations ", "Forceful Persuasion " and "New order".
2) The symbols used in those pictures showed resemble too much the nazi swastika.
3) The leader is considered absolute, and obedience is a virtue. The workers are brainwashed to obey, and are alienated of their oppression.

Imagine how fucking hard it is to fight krorks OP 01-10-24 13:05:56 No.37286[Reply]

Imagine an ork, but instead of being stuck with some shitty semi automatic pistol or rifle, the fucker has a fully automatic assault rifle. Imagine this same ork but now fully covered in armour equipped with sensors and scanners. Now imagine the hundreds to thousands of rounds each of these fuckers are carrying. Imagine some of these fuckers carrying heavy machine guns and tank-sized recoil less rifles as ordinary primary weapons. The sheer uncontested raw firepower of each of these hulks of muscle and steel is something noteworthy. These mfs would fuck up every single living and no living organism that crosses their path. You want to know the worst thing? These fuckers (unlike the orks) are now also fully capable of squad tactics, troop formations, and building reliable vehicles. Krorks are a mechanized infantry fan’s dream…

That quote about the crossed is on point. The Krorks in lore should have the same level of fanaticism as the crossed, but the hyper intelligence and self discipline of an evolved green skin. Hell, even the crossed in +100 were capable wielding artillery and trucks to cause mayhem. Imagine the firepower capabilities of mechanized krorks.

Side note, I just want to state that it’s likely that dark age humans and Krorks are likely the reason for why the tyranids even bothered invading the Milky Way galaxy. The departure of the Krorks is unknown. Additionally, it is implied that most Kronos had access to the warp and psychic powers in the lower, which is why normal orcs have been seen to carry psychic energy and even become capable of using warp energy in some of their more advanced weapons.
It’s likely that the krorks at some point had developed their societies so much that they ended up leaving the milky way for their orcish descendants. Then, the krorks went on to distant galaxies to torment and purge other species for their own amusement. The tyranids were one of these species.

OP 01-10-24 22:32:50 No.37329

>>37328
The reason why it would be specifically the krorks is due to the fact that they would be in closest proximity to the tyranids, because the Krorks originate from the Milky Way.
