[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4802898, member: 2011"] No, he's arguing that the world setting is all about killing and not about any good vs. evil flavor. The world feels like a big combat when only 2 creatures out of nearly a thousand presented in the game system are inherently good. Even the inherently "good humanoid" races like Dwarves and Elves are suddenly "Any". This world, which was described pre-release as Points of Light in a dark world, has no Points of Light creatures. None. Going to the Dwarven stronghold goes to a place no better than a human village. It's no longer a bastion of good, it's a bastion of Any. Every time we turn around, the world gets darker and more apocalyptic. We might as well be playing Gamma World. It's one thing to have a DND steampunk setting like Eberron. It's another to default the core game system more into a combat only and every creature is human behaviored system. What medieval fantasy setting ever had non-good Unicorns as a default? Non-good Angels? Look up Unicorn on Wiki. You will not find this. Non-good dwarves were a part of mythology, but that's what Duegars should represent. Not normal Dwarves. Sorry, but it's stupid. I cannot comprehend supporting this as a good idea. The only justification I am hearing is "because WotC did it this way". Just to mix things up, the 5E version of DND will have all Good Demons. Doh!!! :lol: [/QUOTE]
