Why is race and nationality ignored so much in the lore? (why does the lore fail)

[Azurymber]

Do they teach to resort to meaningless strawman arguments in behavioural sciences classes?

Marketing teaches that there are many "averages", and that new "averages" can be created every day, that's the whole meaning of target. Cereating any kind of product for some kind of all-encompassing "average" (including games), is something that can lead only to failure.



And says who that it's the wrong medium? Videogames were born with text, even MMORPGs. Text in videogames will never go away, as it's a foundational part of the medium.

People don't understand the medium they are using if they make a video game with ten times as much text as there is interactivity.

I'm quite sure that "people" from Bethesda, CDProjekt, Bioware and, mind you, even Square Enix, understand the videogame medium quite a lot better than you. [/QUOTE]

So according to you humans aren't born with an ingrained need or propensity for the following:
-desiring pleasure or enjoyment
-desiring food
-desiring water
-personality changes at different parts of life such as puberty
-a propensity to seek vengeance when wronged
-a preference for relative gains over absolute gains (which has recently been proved in over 50 experiments worldwide)
-the ability to learn languages
-a childs need for attention
-the desire to feel wanted
-the desire to be attractive
-the desire for intercourse (in order to propagate reproduction)
-adrenaline rushes during periods of danger or with extreme pain
-an ability to become addicted to certain substances


i can go on for a long time and list things that all humans have in common.

When marketrers talk about branding to different segments, they aren't saying there are different averages. They are saying that different cultures, different time periods, different social groups, different nationalities, different languages, etc, all effect how people respond to things or what appeals to people.
But that doesn't mean that our brains don't all develop essentially the same. There are things that exist in almost all humans because that just how evolution works. Those don't really change. And a lot of marketers target those.
