Default Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

I think the game discriminates against undead by making generic holy spells that banish them, and by giving such low stats to soulless... fortunately, the undead can make their own corrective mods.

People thinking that maybe a medieval fantasy game should consider avoiding the random name "Adolf" is hilarious to me. People are so silly.

On the other hand, I can think of at least one parody name that does seem a bit out of place, not because it's so offensive but because it's unthematic and a bit silly. But it's so rare it's sort of an Easter egg.

But uh, this game has virgin hunts and sacrifices and cannibalism and blood orgies and demons and horrors and... etc... and it's all just a game.

People who are offended should just avoid it. It's not like it's getting broadcast on television (unlike adds for male enhancement drugs and dozens of other depraved, nauseating and inappropriate products).
