The binding to the nameplate was intentional. It's a trade off; you can have a cool nameplate or a heart icon.
Well, can we change that please? It's kinda weird it's the only icon you can have that doesn't allow for you to use a title bar as well.
yeah, cheat's trying to make it seem like some deeply planned thing but it's just bad development
It was intentional. Adding it as an icon would have been simpler to do. I went out of my way to make sure you couldn't have a nameplate with the heart.

That's straight up retarded.

I don't get car people
you don't see house people or boat people, yet it's so popular to be obsessed with cars
there's definitely boat people, and i'm surprised you haven't met any as a michigander
but yeah, car people are bizarre
I've seen old men who are proud and defensive about the fishing boat they've had for twenty years or whatever, but not high school kids who talk about the specifics of boats and collectable ones and such, like they do with cars. I guess everyone has a hobby, there's worse things than cars. But it's still a tad askew

her face has always irritated me
what
Winona Ryder is so pretty, literally perfect
She's literally a lesser Natalie.

lolno Natalie's features aren't nearly as pronounced, and her head shape is literally completely different. Look at the forehead to jaw ratio in those pictures. Winona Ryder is far more attractive than Natalie Portman.

Nope, the worst I've had were lacerations from falling over a chain link fence when I was really young. I tried to climb over it and failed terribly.

Nah, average. She had very sharp features, made her look sinister.
Resisting the urge to be a terrible person and call you lucky
I'm over it. There have been many jokes cracked at my expense, but she took the brunt of it.
I wasn't really making a joke, you just described the perfect look on a girl
Nah, the sunken eyes and dark circles aren't a good look. Neither are pointy noses tbh.
You're crazy that's literally the best look Sharp, stern features are the best ones on a girl

Haha >having to apologies and redeem yourself to avatars on a forum
ooooh, someone's apologizing on the Internet
scary stuff
yeah over irrelevant shit, if he had spurged and made jokes about a dead mother or something then an apology is a must but all he did make a loser of himself and call himself verbpipim
He felt it warranted one, so he gave it.
It obviously wasn't irrelevant to Verbatim, which is who this thread is supposed to be for in the first place.
it's gay as fuck "ooooh im sorry mr verbatim for imitating you i've hurt the feelings of random people on a forum oh no! ooohh"
can you just chill for like one day lol

You know making this much of an effort to explain yourself just shows that you're more easily affected by events here ergo it leaves you wide open for more attacking in the eyes of certain people.
Any kind of explanation is damage control and any time you admit you were wrong you got BTFOd
That's subjective.
And it still doesn't change what I said soooo. . wait are you even trying to refute what I said?
You're right in what you said, which is the problem. There's absolutely nothing wrong with threads like these, but people love to jump on them for some reason. Apologizing on the Internet isn't some big deal.

Literally no reasonable person believes this.
Don't know why so many feminazis are so eager to believe it, it actually takes power away from women to imply they can never be the aggressor in a sexual crime.

But now we have characters like Nathan Drake, Rico Rodriguez, FF protagonists, etc, that are more like movie characters that you simply control out of cutscenes and scripted events. The story might be better because of it, but the immersion suffers. With those characters, you're not playing as yourself, you're playing as them.
Not familiar with Rico Rodriguez, but I don't think Nathan Drake is necessarily a good example of that. He's not Indiana Jones--he's what you get when you take he average schmuck and take him on an adventure, dragging him through various James Bond-esque perils--but he's not James Bond.
It's evident with his personality, the way he talks, and how he's always stumbling around--he's just a regular guy.
FF protagonists can be pretty out there, though. I'll give you that.
Oh, absolutely. But I'm not even necessarily talking about protagonists being relatable, I'm talking about them being blank slates. Even with Nathan Drake, his personality is set in stone. If you as a person wouldn't act the way he does, it doesn't matter, because you're not Nathan Drake. He's a basic character, but still a pre-defined one. Something like this, though, obviously has the potential to tell a better story, because you don't have to account for any possible person the player chooses to make the protagonist. A game like Call of Duty 4, Elder Scrolls, or the original Fallouts are much different. They build the plot around the main character instead of through them, because the main character essentially is the player. And a developer can't account for everyone who plays the game, so plotting becomes more contrived and clunky. The upside is that, as playing essentially an avatar, immersion takes a sharp boost.

immersion
but if you use fallout 4 as an example not really cause the character just said whatever the fuck they wanted to say
id say some of the most immersive games are games where youre just yourself and you dont really have any set goals or objectives other than what you set yourself
not saying it has to be that way to be immersive but thats usually a good start
Yeah, I was using Fallout 4 as an example of - not immersion-based, as Prime pointed out - surrogate-based characterization shifting toward narrative-based characterization. The Sole Survivor in Fallout 4 is different from the Vault Dweller, Chosen One, and Lone Wanderer because he talks, voices what's going on in his head, has a pre-defined personality and traits, etc. You don't come up with these traits in your own mind and project them on your player character, the game does for you. That's a huge change from previous Fallouts. I don't think one is inherently better than the other, and I can't say that I even personally prefer one over the other.
When it comes to pre-established characters, it's important to keep in mind that most "pre-established" characters are essentially meant to be write-ins for the player. They're often as generic as possible so that the highest number of people can relate with them, making self-insertion, and thus immersion, easier.
So in one way or another, you're pretty much always technically playing the game as yourself. I can't think of very many counterexamples off the top of my head.
Most games until lately were dominated by stand in/surrogate characters. DOOM comes to mind as establishing the silent protagonist trend. But now we have characters like Nathan Drake, Rico Rodriguez, FF protagonists, etc, that are more like movie characters that you simply control out of cutscenes and scripted events. The story might be better because of it, but the immersion suffers. With those characters, you're not playing as yourself, you're playing as them.
