To be honest, I stopped playing at "dwarf cock." Am I a prude? No. Do I want an immersive RPG? Yes. Do pop-culture references and modern cuss words ruin a medieval fantasy RPG for me? Yes. When a game tries to use humor in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way, it can definitely work. Overlord did a good job of this. But when a game tries to use humor to be "tough" and "edgy" it really just comes off as pathetic and annoying.
Not to mention the incredibly awkward voice dialogue. Are the voices themselves good? Yes. Does the dialogue make sense and flow from topic to topic seemlessly? Absolutely not. It is incredibly poor in that sense. Maybe you can argue there's just something lost in the language translation, but really, I think most of us expected much more. |
What a load of rubbish. Full of sex?? Hardly! The mature sex content is about 1% of the game! I find it a fun edition especially as you collect the tarot cards of your conquests like an achievements award system. Very amusing.
I can't see how minor things like the sexual content and swearing can ruin a game unless you are, infact, a prude and in that case why are you playing a mature game? I love the Battlestar Galactica series and their use of "frack" to replace the F word is just ridiculous in my opinion. I laughed at first but after a while it was just annoying. Did this spoil my enjoyment of the series? Not in the slightest it's just something minor that takes nothing away from the storyline.
If you don't like the game then fair enough that's your right. Stop playing (I believe you already have) but that should be an end of it. People who like it will continue to play while people that don't like it won't ... end of
