Grimrock

I don't have anything against cats or other animals, but I just hate furries.

Why you hate me?

Either way, catfolk seem an inevitability.

The basic definition of a "furry" is an anthropomorphic animal. The only player race of the established set that doesn't qualify is the human.

I think you're missing the fact that he said "Furries."

Here's what he's probably talking about:

Hardly different than Star Trek or anime fans, except longer and more diverse history and viewpoints.
As with every group, individuals in it can be cool or suck.

I think the real concern with races in games shouldn't be so much what they are, but how they play differently.
If they don't add something interesting, then its just a portrait.

This request seems racist against the mouse folk that will be in Grimrock 2.

They'd probably be buddies anyways. XP

Typically in my experience of fiction, insect races are hive-minded, and based on a specialized caste system. (Aliens, Starcraft: Zerg, Warhammer40k: Tyranids, Starship Troopers: Arachnids...)
That's something I love about the insectoid race in Grimrock. Mages with the potential to have natural armor?

I really look forward to seeing what they did with the racial skill trees.

How awesome would it be to have a cat-folk, but during combat there was a 10% chance that the cat-folk would attack any Ratlings in the party!

Well, if someone's trying to implement a wizardryesque version, they wouldn't have an inherent problem with ratkin. Their racial special might be a problem if ranged attacks are still collision-detection hits with no 'attack roll': the felpur had a built-in missile evasion chance (or at least a higher missile evasion chance than anyone else with the same stats), even against magical projectiles.

*raises an index finger* ........ o.o


*points to the Ratlings*

And I doubt the ratlings will be enemies with catfolk. They just might not be seeing eye to eye. Like the steam community with Russians for some reason.
