>its kind of like Lil' Kim acting >like a badass gangster. >I see something like that and its >"Whoa Whoa Whoa, timeout Green Bay, sell that #### to the >tourists." Difference is, this is a fantasy game. It involves RP. Lil' Kim would be a Copeham inn bard mob, with an avg 4 dagger. I am sure female characters like Dulmisa would generally scare your character, but RP immersion differs from player to player.
>If I punch her in the mouth, she's just gonna lay >there and bleed, That is why she is a real-life rap artist, not an imperial assassin murderer, specialized in assassinating people, and still can kill people in straight combat. Or a Scion shapeshifter who can turn into a lion and rip you open. Try punching that in the face. Check the Copeham mob comparisation.
>Badass >females are very few and far between, I just can't take them >seriously. In mainstream REAL-LIFE, that is perhaps likely, maybe debatable. In movies and science-fiction, nah, not even close. In CF ? That that is just ludicrous and silly.
It is all about RP immersion. Admit, Lil' Kim would look quite more powerful when she can sing up that fiend to rip your guts without the help a XTC tablet from your part, compared to the usual 'charm person' spell she tries with her inflated chest IRL that has not much chance of lasting longer than 3 seconds. This is a reason why carrionfields and fantasty is awesome.
