why is the ranger a slut

[Cryptic]

My first impression of her exactly. I found her so annoying I didn't use Rangers at all, but in later maps you kind of have to use rangers early game.

I'd of said it made her sound like a pretentious brat or "Dumb Blonde" not to stereotype...but then again i dont know any "Dumb Blondes" That can kick ass like the rangers do in game early on lol.

Go listen to her voice lines... She keeps talking about paying her and paying extra and such too.

Fair enough for got about that line "you better be paying me extra for this" but then again, we are asking her to risk her life...lol Get the dev's to switch her voice with the guy who does thanatos using the same lines and vice versa haha.

I Wont be asking them to change it though because its not that big of a deal for me any way....it doesnt make me think less of the archer (its a game) or even annoy that much...its mroe white noise when she speaks lol

"Whatever you say as long as you pay me... double meaning behind every line. And no don't say that it's just me because it's very obvious that is what they intended. It isn't bad, I know they are appealing to the crowd of oversexualized youth nowadays, but it's annoying to me because when I want to play a game, I want to play a game, not hear vulgarity and such. Swearing is different, that's fine imo. But this is a little... eh.

I never got that impression to be honest. "You better be paying me extra for this" I always understood as a reference to killing zombies and not to sexual activities with her. I mean I guess you can make that connection but then again, if a male soldier would say "you better be paying me extra for this" when you send him to fight zombies, would you still think this is sexual or do you only make that connection because you it's a woman saying it?

This is exactly what I knew someone would say and my response is that it's the one female character in the game, she sounds very bimbo-y, and all her lines have double meaning.

Its just you. Seems like you never had a timed job where you ask your boss to pay you for the job afterwards.

Ha, i know it's appealing to a crowd. Just like a lot of other games like the counter strike weapon skins, borderlands humor, and call of duty unrealistic stuff, but idk it just felt a little odd. Not a huge deal at all, i'm not going to walk away for just that, but games have turned me away before with oversexualization, pictures and scenes with unnecessary nudity or sexual activity and such. It just kind of turns me off. And I am a dude, I like that stuff, just not in my games really. It just feels distasteful.

you would be hard put to find an rts without euphamisms in their unit quotes, but the cheesiness of the voice acting probably makes it much worse in this case
