I really hope to be mistaken if I ever think this game forces you to play as sheneequa delorean the Third, the saviour of the melanin goblinos

I’m well aware that most people have some sort of racial prejudice towards differences races . However that doesn’t mean you should be racist to some random stranger on the street when they didn’t personally didn’t anything towards you.

How the **** would I get anywhere with that mentality?
You wouldn't be able to deport invaders back to where they came from because "it wasn't intentional."

Can I ask what your solution would be to deport the “invaders”?

Ask extremely politely and then beg of course ;^)

Cain and Boyarsky join Obsidian and tease their upcoming RPG

- yes! Troika devs are back in business!

they release The Outer Worlds

- ugh, maybe Troika games were good because of Chad Moore and Jason Anderson?

Romney was right that they'd self deport if you make their life **** enough btw. Throw everyone employing them in prison, absolutely no government aid, throw landlords who rent to them in prison, etc.,

Competing to make their lives shittier than they would be back where they came from works when they come from somewhere decent and not a third world shithole where they eat mud cookies or each other.

A government that cares enough can make their life worse than any south american shithole.

Well, if they're willing to going to that length...

Perfect example of how Arcanum is not 'steampunk'

There were a couple of stupid things in it like the mech spiders and some of the armour sets. But yes, it was simply the industrial revolution in a fantasy setting, without tophats with clocks on them.

That's pre normie-steampunk, back when only nerds knew what it was. Once normies got ahold of it they did what they always do, they took the most vapid elements and turned them up to eleven, made a cosplay out of it, and dominated the "scene" to the point where no one wants to be associated with it.

Arcanum is steampunk. Clockwork revolution is redditpunk.

Arcanum is just fantasy victorian england

[gerey]

Arcanum is just fantasy victorian england

And that's why it works, while other attempts at steampunk in gaming fail.

Modern steampunk slop is just like modern fantasy slop, instead of trying to portray how a past society would function with addition of more fantastical elements, the woke writers just turn the whole thing into a cringe theme park full of people from current year California.

Arcanum works because the people in it are written, for the most part, to speak, think and behave like people from the 19th century would, and the game doesn't shy away from portraying politically incorrect aspects of the era, and also allow the player character to do so as well.

Meanwhile leftist writers have removed slavery from D&D because it makes them upset, despite the fact it was never portrayed positively in the setting.

I predict the same thing will happen with this game - it will be set in California in the year 2025, only with everyone cosplaying.

There is no "punk". It's like saying Fallout is atompunk.

You're being deliberately obtuse - while using "punk" in context doesn't make much sense, as works in the genre don't usually explore the same themes as cyberpunk, it's what the vast majority of people call it, and spoken English is by-and-large a democracy, with all the pitfalls that entails.

Ask any random normie mouthbreather about Arcanum, and he'll refer to it as "that steampunk cRPG".

I've mentioned it before (maybe in this discussion), but steampunk DID originally mean just "Victorian fantasy". KW Jeter, James Blaylock, and Tim Powers were in a writing group together and had novels that were set in the 19th century. He jokingly said they were writing steampunk to contrast them with cyberpunk which was much more popular at the time. They were also often pastiching H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, or other contemporary Victorian writers.
All of them are blends of sci-fi and fantasy: werewolves, ghosts, magic potions, Merlin appearing - and they didn't feature extraneous cogs or whatever the fat cosplayers who domineered the genre turned it into.

Why SHOULDN'T landlords rent to them? Rent to them, and then if they don't pay up, get them deported.

Because you can't legally enter into a contract with an illegal alien.

There's no law forbidding someone from renting a building to foreigners. Whether or not they can legally enter the country to inhabit the building that they're renting isn't your concern. They're still legally allowed to rent the building.
