    Racism. They don’t like all the black people in games now

    (But you knew that and were just pointing it out more cleverly than I)

      My personal interpretation was the guy is just overly tan and potentially covered in mud, because he’s so tough and runs around on battlegrounds all day long.

      Well, and the color palette is gray-brown in general, because we had an abundance of those, especially military shooters in the early HD era.

      But yeah, who knows, could also be that the post originated from 4chan or the like and is just racist.

      The whole game is darker, less cheerful, grimmer. The player is literally and figuratively more filled out and military. Pointing out the obvious because OP be like.

      This was me in the 80s

      “Oh very nice ‘Asian’ character! Bet you killed a ‘yellow’ dragon as well, while running from a red ‘commie’ dragon!”

      Love to hear your take on the male cardinal turning into a raven. Bet you can jam a racial take into that as well.
