Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bastoche" data-source="post: 2635873" data-attributes="member: 306">Aus_Snow and Nomad4life: I have both gone to the website, read the whole FAQ, introduction and went through the rule book which IMO is probably more than any of you did. It is stated EVERYWHERE that the game is not about orifices sizes. It's all there for sake of completeness. They claim that most rules contained within are useless (more or less). They claim to provide a simulator, which IMO is the blandest thing around. It has a Sin City set in medieval times feel IMO.When I first saw that movie, I realised how much D&D was uptight in the sense that the evil guys aren't exactly evil except on paper because most gamers feel that having them do truly evil things is considered poor taste or innappropriate gaming material. IMO that's the whole point behind book of vile darkness (which is a bit sissy in it's evilness IMO). IMO fatal tries to portray evil in the most realistic/barbaric/primal urges-like fashion which is a legitimate gaming genre IMO. It does not interest me but I can see people being dran to it. I mean what viking invasion in history did not involved rape? I think that's their point. They sacrifice political correctness for the sake of realism which in itself should not be shocking IMO. It's shocking to people who look at the book supperficially and are shocked by the images that suggest that sex encounters are the most proeminent feature of the game. I believe it's not the case the the strong emphasis done to it is probably to scare off people to whom they don't want to sell the game to. It is also of my opinion that these feature are not meant to be used by the protagonists. They are to be victim of it or saving victim of it. Rampaging gnolls, trolls eating childrens, etc like, as they claim "real" mythology.I still think it's a tremendous waste of time. Waste of time creating such a game, waste of time to play it. But it is not shocking. Appalling rather is the proper word.</blockquote>
