[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8506035, member: 4534"] I honestly find that rather surprising. Not shocking, mind you, because I've observed some very odd behavior on the part of PCs at convention games, but still surprising. I saw an interview with one of the creators of Bioshock Infinite and he was talking about how the game shared the player's choices with the company (assuming you had that function turned on I guess). There's a scene early in the game where your character "wins" the change the throw the first baseball at an interracial couple as part of stoning them to death for the crime of miscegenation. The way it's presented, if you throw the baseball your cover will be protected and the people of Columbia won't know you're an outsider. If you don't throw the baseball then people know you're an outsider and you're in for a fight. The truth is that you're in for a fight no matter what but the player doesn't know that the first time through. Anyway, the developer said that nearly 80% of all players elect not to throw the baseball at the couple. You most certainly do not deserve to be portrayed as an orc. I'll probably set the game in Poland and it isn't my intention to treat Slavic people like orcs and I'll probably have some NATO members as the bad guys in some scenarios. [/QUOTE]
