I didn't realise the early 90s were a time of such cultural upheaval and revolution.

I was going to say something about Thedas being based more on Medieval Europe and there not being that many blacks in Europe at that time but I've seen how threads like that spin out of control from LotR threads I've seen. Let's just be grateful that there's no evil races of swarthy men in Thedas.

Just something I was thinking about, Seeing how alot of fans (Myself Included) tend to react negativly or just jump to the worst possible conclusion whenever Devs say they are trying to reach out.
The term "Wider Audience" Might as well be a curse word among the gaming comunity:lol:
I've struggled in getting into such a Mind Set, Asking myself
"How do I Design something for people who are not interested in what I am Designing? Should I even try to Cater to those who are uninterested in what I am Producing?"
Just wondering how the BSN would tackle the task both in terms of gameplay & Storytelling

Most of the time it does,and is it really believing yourself to be better than everyone else when the typical mainstream casual gamer loves dumbed down,hold your hand,and so easy it plays itself types of games?The Xand wrote...

Skyrim was better then morrowind imo, because I didn't uninstall the game and find something else to play after playing skyrim at the very least. Being that these games had technologically limits to what could be generated, graphics that were extremely cheap compared to today and only passed because they were high of the line years ago, and a relative lack of programing experts to make managing the items, missions, dialogue, story, map, etc, all added up to it being a very difficult curve to actually get into the series, and thus less fans.
Your core audience being important is about as much a lie as there can be, because at the end of the day they're small. They are too small to carry the company even if they were happy, and you'd need at least triple their numbers in order to even break even on a game. Focusing on those other 2/3's of people who weren't born and raised on rpg's your company made is the only way to actually survive and be competitive. Otherwise you'll need to just accept making a low cost, low quality, short and tiny dlc type game and charging less then 9 dollars for it if you hope to make even an ounce of profit from the venture.
That's just the market we live in, you either go big and hook as many customers as possible, even if the aging and shrinking old core doesn't like it. Because believe it or not the core isn't going to be the core for long, not until new gamers come in and replace them. Otherwise you can only rely on an ever diminishing and dwindling core audience whose numbers drop year after year just because they find other interest and move on with their lives like any normal person does. Someone doesn't remain a core fan forever or probably even a lot of years, eventually they move on, and if you didn't get more people to replace that core your screwed.
Do not become kurt schilling and just trust a fanbase who might not be there to catch your back and give you the numbers you need to make your game come close to breaking even.
This must be the first time we've ever been in full agreement
There seems to be this prevailing mindset that somehow by appealing to more people it's "diluting" the quality of a game, rather than improving it. By that argument democracy is fundamentally flawed and should be scrapped asap. Companies do need to make money but innovation is equally important, and doling out the same game over and over because the fans hate change is a recipe of doom. I suppose that thought also stems from the fact that people always think of themselves as better than everyone else, often without even realising it.
I'd also stress that accessibility doesn't automatically mean dumbing down.

Make the most amazing game possible, don't try to water down the game by cherry picking elements that you stole from various other popular things into a trainwreck of a game. Focus on what you do best and make the game shine. Don't assume your audience is stupid. (people who are smart or average will dislike a dumbed down game, but people who are stupid or unskilled will learn to play or get help with a grown up game that's really good) If the game is great, people will be talking about it, word of mouth and media coverage will spread like an infection.
