If I’m playing VT2 and my immersion is broken because of something that was added, yeah, I would absolutely have to go back and adjust my review of the game to say that I used to be happy with it, but am not anymore.
GK Kruber is ridiculous, a sword based melee class is not something that would be unique compared to FK/Merc, and this explanation is the very definition of a cop out. Lazy writing, and its equally frustrating because there were plenty of other options for a new class that added much more in terms of unique mechanics, and are much less of a lore abnormality.
FS not understanding that a warhammer fantasy game might have a large number of warhammer fantasy fans who are particular about warhammer lore, and not understanding how those people would react negatively to this, is incompetence.
Last thing you want as a game developer is to announce that you’re putting out a new class, and for a ton of people to immediately hate it. And yet the forums are ablaze. And rightly so, because wtf guys.
May as well just give Saltzpyre a dark elf sorcerer career next and put out a post like “Oh, his great great grandmother on his dad’s side was a very naughty elf! He’s got the blood, and he knows so much about dark magic from Witch Huntering so, here you go!”
