So I found a dead baby....

"offended"

I really hate that word. It feels like living in America where at some schools kids are tought that Beethoven was black so that the black kids feel important too.

It's not like PoE presents itself as familyfriendly game for fun and games and you are offended because it's not but you are offended because the game that presents itself as grimdark IS infact grimdark.

I agree that there is an intended audience for Path of Exile, and that enables the inclusion of certain themes, motifs, and visual flairs (i.e., dead baby). Everyone has their own opinion, however, and are entitled to make feedback about dead babies in their video games.

Even if it's not ultimately their choice to include or exclude dead babies in Path of Exile.

How is a cash shop purchase ruining anything? They are optional after all. Also, how are zombie babies not morbid?.

I think he's saying that seeing an army of zombie babies would seem a bit silly. I agree. Sometimes less is more. PoE has the gritty atmosphere right now, zombies baby army is not quite compatible with that. Has nothing to do with the cash shop, tho. Also, part of me really thinks an army of zombie babies is cool as hell.

You should all learn to be more tolerant towards other cultures.

GGG are from New Zealand.

Zombie babies are the norm there.

See this film for proof.

Ahh, fair enough. I would like to keep the game dark and serious as well.. but I think there's always room to lighten up the mood for those who wish to do so. I wouldn't go overboard with it(silly emotes, dancing, ponies etc.), but small bits of humor or distraction can go a long way. Although, it's apparent that a lot of people don't find dead babies humorous in the slightest..

yep bluefalcon74 got it right, what i meant when good becomes more it loses its charm and effect. Thus it loses its brooding dark and terrifying atmosphere.

You know i'm one of the few player out there that is dying to see more and more GORE and DARKNESS at most as much as possible, dont get me wrong dude.

Personally, really messed up stuff and nudity would only make me want to play this game more. Everyone is so afraid of offending someone. I say bring it on.
