I mean, they ARE elves.

What do the other races look like when they reload?

Like races that aren't asking to be slaughtered because they're stuck up, perverted, arrogant, hippie, perfect, wastes of oxygen.

Now that is some real Elf hate, a true mark of a real Bay12er.

Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

I mean, Elves are almost always the most boring fantasy race.

Can I just say it's interesting to consider perfect someone that's a stuck up, perverted, arrogant, hippie waste of oxygen? 'Cause I feel like I've came in this morning and learned something of umi's fetishes I'm not entirely sure I wanted to know :V

... Wow. You made me go back and read that post with a more discerning eye. And you're right, that is interesting. Almost as interesting as the way a single misplaced comma can completely change the meaning of a sentence.  :P

Not the Elves' fault.  Writers tend to make people of *insert traditional fantasy races here* have the same traits/personalities.  Is super lazy world building.

To be perfectly fair, there's a reason for that. Writers want to rely on tropes because tropes are easily recognizable by the general populace. You can say "dwarf," for instance, and know that you probably don't have to explain the ins and outs, as most people will automatically think, "short, stocky, hairy people with a proficiency for smithing and mining."

Attempting to utilize one of these classic fantasy races while changing the details will inevitably result in incurring "Our ____ Are Different"  which in some people's eyes is even worse because it looks like you're pretending to be original when you're still relying on old ideas.

In short, it's impossible to be truly original, and you can't please everyone, so it's not surprising that a lot of writers utilize tropes to make whatever world they're building easier for people to understand and get into.

Sorry if I'm contributing to thread derailing. I'm just a budding writer (feeling self-conscious about his own use of tropes) wanting to put in his two cents.

I assume they reload while being not elves.

Looking at a fairly decent Capcom bundle over at HumbleBundle. Beating the average gives HD remasters of Resident Evils 1 and 0, plus RE6. $12+ gets you Dead Rising 2 and 3. $1 gets you Umbrella Corps, but I hear that's total shit, along with Strider and the Devil May Cry reboot(I own both, but never played).

RE6 is total shit too though to be fair. If you have a friend to play it with it's tolerable, but solo? No. I can recommend the REMaster and DR3, though. Zero I haven't played in forever, I wasn't really a fan of DR2 though it wasn't exactly bad (I just preferred DR1, and then later the convenience factors added in DR3) and I haven't played the others so I can't comment on if they play like crap, but I'm not a fan of DmC regardless.

Jotun: Valhalla Edition is free on GoG right now. I heard good things about that, might have some fun slaying giants.
