So you know how when you enter a boss-cave and you get a little chat sequence with the boss, which is usually some kinda threat? Allot of these little intros aren't very serious but some actually made me sick to the stomach, no joke, and I feel they may not be kid appropriate either.
There was this one boss in mangrove marsh or somewhere around that area, and what I heard was a bit disturbing. " I have an empty hole inside of me, why dont you come and let me try to fill it with your heart". It could just be me, but this does not sound ok, at least that's what I think.
Another chat intro I though was bad was when in you fight some guy in Tierra de brea, named "Bad Taste", he tells about this so called "bad taste". He then says something along the lines of " I've got a bad taste in my mouth, why don't I try washing it out with your blood" I am very serious and this is not a joke, I found this to be just plain morbid and sickening, that's just my opinion though...
I don't aim to offend those who designed the game, I just though this should be rebooked. Thanks.
Cipactli is sort of nauseating too. "Go into my mouth" and all that.
I suppose it contributes to the atmosphere of gruesome monsters and vengeful undead. But earlier versions of the "I'm going to eat you" theme were well played. "Who ordered wizard for lunch?" and such were funnier and in better taste. (Pardon the pun)
You know you are totally right, I thought the same thing when I heard these things. I also was a little put off by it. It certainly doesn't fit the motif of the game by far, for me anyway.
Apparently KI is aiming for a more mature audience now so maybe they do not believe children or sensitive to violence, adults, like me, are questing in these areas? I ended up kind of skipping though the dialog to get on with the quest but it did stick in my head as in poor taste (pun intended).
I think KI should revisit these, a bit too upsetting, type of dialogs and maybe tone them down more for general audiences because I have helped a few children with quests in AZ so they are there.
that is how w101 gets past being not kid-friendly. the higher lvl you are, the less likely that you are actually a kid. therefore, precautions made to avoid violence and other inappropriate content are decreased. i actually approve of this kind of game design because by lvl 90, this game basically becomes a better version of other games similar to w101. it is definitely worth the few kids that understand what the game is hinting at. that is one of the biggest reasons that i enjoy w101. btw you also kinda get that this game is for older people if you look at discussions related to references the game makes throughout the story line.
I just think that if you find some of these things disturbing son listen to it but I personally don't have a problem with it is a pun and aimed at adults not children as there are very few children in av and as mainly az so please KI don't change them.

just turn your sound off and don't read the message. it doesn't bother me much.

It's still labeled as a "family friendly" game. There are still a lot of younger players who make it to and through Azteca, either on their own or with family members.
If you are meaning more adult-type games that W101 is becoming similar to, then this shouldn't be the case. W101 is a unique game that separates itself from others by being family friendly and attracts players of all ages. The content should also follow the family friendly concept.

I agree because little kids might get frightened! :P

It makes me sick to know that these bosses are saying this and it like creeps me out to know that all the bosses before Azteca were not that you know violent in words
I honestly fully agree on this. Seeing the bosses saying some really awkward things, kind of makes the game not really meant for kids. I know they don't mean anything bad, just making an opening for the boss, but it kinda makes me feel uncomfortable.
a boss in celestia (I can't remember who it is) says something like "i smell wizardry soon there will be blood on the water" i think it was kind of disturbing.
Yea I noticed that as well.....Not a lot of kids are in Azteca only a few. I guess maybe KI thought that the more hard a game gets, the more violent the dialogue gets. W101 has never been 100% kid friendly because Death and sad storylines are involved.....but now this is getting a little odd
