Where do you draw the line? What's the difference?
Where do you draw the line? What's the difference?
That was my question exactly, for you.
My delineation, as described above: Things should be kept unique when the benefits to the expressing the unique race or particular gender, due to fit and flavor, exceed the benefits to player expression that would come from sharing them.
Race: The expression of what is unique to the race is fitting and illustrative while the benefit to player expression for sharing these emotes across all races is comparatively small, so they should be kept unique.Gender (Idle and weapon pose): The expression of what is unique to the gender is neither particularly fitting nor uniquely illustrative while the benefit to player expression for sharing those emotes across both genders allows for a wider, but not excessive, and useful breadth of expression, so they should be shared.Benefit to expressing race is, say, a 7, while the useful benefit to player for sharing them would be like a... 3. 7 > 3 --> Keep separate.That criteria may seem vague, but I'm not trying to obscure them. I just wondered why your own demarcation was so absolute (uniqueness trumps all), rather than weighed (sometimes one is better than the other, based on X and Y).Benefit to expressing gender is, say, a 3, while I'd judge the addition of idle and weapon poses of the opposite gender, since they're all basically gender-less, and simply convey slightly different personalities, would be a... 6? 6 > 3, so...
