On the other hand, different languages may simply be an interesting feature of the game, making it more reflective of the real world anyway.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Villages/towns where only certain nationals live, for example. Would make it quite interesting.
Xoomorg, ned, you have a valid point. Maybe this could be balanced by giving the disabled person certain perks that able-bodied people don't get.
Being a Turkish gamer myself, I doubt 10-15 TL price difference would make a massive difference. Also, since the game is one of its kind in the market, I don't see an issue overpaying to support the developer, in fact, I find the price very fair.
Oh, sure. I mean it in the worst possible way, just to be glib. It would definitely add gameplay value for certain people, but I'd end up leaving any disabled kids to starve because I wouldn't have the experience, time, or knowledge to provide the care necessary for them. Imagine if a kid can't walk. The only way this kid will move effectively is either me carrying it, or when it gets too big, a wheelbarrow/cart. I don't have those resources, nor that time, and if I'm part of a village, taking away a cart to raise someone who adds little due to a disability will surely be destructive.
I strongly disagree. You didn't have the experience, time or knowledge to feed your babies in your first games either. That means you would let all your babies starve, which is not a bad thing or a wrong way to play the game, but you still do feed them. Why? Well, because you either want to continue your generation or you want to extend your colony and be more productive.
Also, let's assume you're the last living adult female of your generation, and your last child to be born was disabled. For those who want to continue their line, it would be very vital to take care of your disabled baby, who could in the future become an adult and have regular kids of her own (provided she's a female)
So, in short, I think there are many reasons as to why you wouldn't want to straight up leave them.
I'd leave them to starve. Little room for disabilities right now.
In terms of gender binaries, people are still born physically male or female. Obviously there are exceptions where humans with both genitalia are born, or times when physical sex does not match genetic sex (such as Swyer, XX male, and hell lets add mosaicism, too). However, most of the time, genitalia matches secondary sex characteristics, while gender identity may not.
In the game, if you really want to get into this, say whatever gender your character identifies as. Perhaps shears could allow us to cut hair in the style of our identified gender like in ARK. Unfortunately, there wasn't much else for intersex people to do about it back then, especially when you have a dangling penis or milk-filled breasts.
Care to elaborate what you mean by no room for disabilities? As in you think it won't make it into the dev list or it won't add any gameplay value?
Since the game is excellent at portraying the luck factor in life, whether good or bad, I think it would be a brilliant idea to add birth defects and other chronic diseases.
A couple simple examples;
- Missing Limbs
You're born to a poor family, and to make matters worse, you have no legs. You depend on your tribe/parents/siblings to be carried around and cared for.
- Poor Eye Sight
Your retina isn't the best. Other than your HUD, your screen is disoriented and/or blurry. (not to the stage where you can't see at all, just makes daily tasks much more difficult)
- Allergies
As the title says. You have allergies to a certain food. This can be carrots, berries, pies, etc.
- Asthma
You walk slower maybe?
You get the main idea. Of course, these defects should be made so that they only happen one in every 500 births, for example.
Implementing this sort of thing would make for a very interesting gameplay and interactions with others. Will you be the burden of your tribe and be left to starve or will you be cared for regardless of your disability?
Do let me know what you guys think!
