the 'attitude' in Elemental

March 23, 2010 11:51:30 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I'm curious as to what the overall attitude (for lack of a better word) of the game is, like serious or comical, like how Gal Civ had that quirky humor.  I have high hopes for this game, and I'm hoping Elemental will be more or less serious and devoid of the kind of humor seen in Gal Civ.  Not that the quirkiness of Gal Civ didn't work for that game, it did.  So far I get the impression that E will be serious and dark, like MoM, and that's what I'm hoping to see...

This got asked already. As I see it Brad pretty much laughed in the OP's face, but some people think his answer was legit. Who knows?

You can have dark, gritty and grim while still having elements of cuteness and humoristic. It's called a Crapsaccharine world.

And is there something more satisfying that creating a super-serious faction of evil to thrash through Carebears and evicerate them?

Brad has stated that there will be no "silliness" in Elemental.

Edit: Sorry, that link above points to the exact quote.  Ignore my redundancy.

@ Cikomyr - yeah, I didn't mean that I'm not hoping for any humor at all, 'serious' wasn't the right word to use.  I'm just hoping we don't see the same level of quirkiness as in GalCiv, but humor that fits the atmosphere & situation is always a good thing, even in full-on horror games. 

And yeah I love playing the evil bastard - in MoM I always chose one 'good' race to go genocidal on, razing their cities and using their engineers as slaves.  Undead, of course, for who wants to waste perfectly good food on slaves?
