Why does every game/movie assume technology destroys fashion?
The most important thing to realize is, no matter what you experience you are never alone; no matter what you are struggling through, there is always someone who is more unfortunate.

If there are no civilians or scientists, they will be destroyed by the civilians and scientists in the future, with overpowered weapons.

Who are you to say what fashion is, anyway? I think the entire thing is terribly wonderful to look at. Originally Posted by Deyadissa

Fashion and culture are not exclusive from war and fighting.
Looks pretty awesome, but they better tone down those swishing tails. Add some more subtle movements to them, something I don't care, I'd never be able to take myself seriously with one of those brooms flailing around behind me.Last edited by Sunseeker; 2011-04-21 at 07:29 PM.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.

You know, you are a civilian if you are born into a country. When you are smart, you go to the government for money to support your research for weapons (military, coincidence?) . If you're not smart, but physically acceptable you can fight for the war.
Those who did not work on that system, mainly third world countries, are now well... third world countries. Obviously, some have done without that system, but overall the barbaric cultures are behind.Last edited by Deyadissa; 2011-04-21 at 07:56 PM.

There have been warlike cultures that would more accurately reflect Charr values than ours sitting on our comfy computer chairs. They were fabulously successful. The times of those barbaric cultures may well better represent the gameworld than our present day. Either way, trying to reference reality for proof of why something doesn't work in a video game is silly. Charr are not a part of our species and don't have to share all of our opinions.
I saw art in that video, flourishes in creation that show these aren't just automatons churning out machines mindlessly.

Males are way bulkier and most of the time have flatter faces with more and bigger fangs. They have their horns directed to the frontside often, too. Originally Posted by Miggetmagic

The advantage of the dreamer is that he never has to face the chains of reality.

I think it's nice, tbh, glad they didn't go for the standard t&a for females, they actually look more "realistic" Originally Posted by a random troll
