Deff considering buying Alan Wake for dbd. So far I've only played characters from ingame currency

The first thing that came to my mind is "Theory of a Dead Man" 😂

Had a level 3 party with a new player who just couldnt internalize it wasnt a video game

...until they tried to rob the owlbear cave.

My dmpc (his mentor/fave party member) literally had to jump in front and got his head ripped off taking the attack

The lesson stuck! 😂

Okay, so from the purely legal standpoint theres no reason an NDA couldnt cover regular actors? Its more a matter of "the fact that you feel any need to NDA this is already suspicious"? (Plus inevitable pushback from unions)

Mostly just trying to understand my own arguments better here

To your knowledge, would it be unenforceable? Or just...far enough from the norm to still be sketchy?

(Pretty sure my response to the friend was "how many other games have you played that felt the need to NDA their voice cast?")

When I brought up this point with a friend their argument was that the actors are "probably under NDA"

Which still feels off to me when it comes to a voice cast but I don't know the space well enough to articulate why that doesn't feel right to me

Yes and probably yes? (More than most people, less than most people actively in the twitch communities im in)

I only watch smaller streamers (mid sized affiliates and "smaller" partners) if thats a viewpoint you need!

I like to call these

"DMPCs" 😂😂

Ive caused AT LEAST half my table to experience bi panic towards my own character lolll

I failed at "imagine a shape like on the left" 😅😅

(Aphantasia)

This reminds me of when I had a (still unfortunately unrealized) idea of cosplaying Merlin from 7DS

My friend says "oh, like a genderbent Merlin could be cool" and im like "...no, straight up panties and longcoat"

...and somehow it still took a few more years for that egg to crack 💀

I just played through this for the first time!

The best way I can describe it and why i love it so much - this remake as an adult is exactly what I thought/remembered the original being as a kid 💖 ive played the og so many times as an adult but this really captured my first playthrough

On the bright side - youve gotten past the worst of it! The first game dlc is the only part I skip when I replay lol, I actually think everything after is really well done

Its been years since I got in a good fishing trip by the lake! Love to just chill with friends by the water 💖
