I'm all for lore and I plan on making an Ishgardian soon, may be more of my own tendency to not like tribal concepts than anything, if I really wanted to make a Miq'ote I would.(02-09-2015, 11:57 AM)Desu Nee Wrote: I seriously avoid Miq'ote for this same reason. Wrapping my head around the tribal customs just gives me a headache, and I always disliked tribe concepts, lol.
I'm a bit the other way, I think. It's... hard to explain but I like having more solidified lore and such. It gives me something to align to, or be able to bend with some reasonable amount of explanation. There's also some comfort in being able to put forth an idea and be able to point to something and say "Well, it says in this case..." if someone asks about it.
Which, I suppose... would work with most lore, tribal or no.
Not saying I find Miq'otes boring, I seen many awesome ones play aamzing concepts on them, Tias specially and I do find interesting, I just don't see myself making a tribal Miq'ote. I like to have a character that follows certain lore, but that I can have any personality I wish and interactions in the way I want, and even though it definetly don't do that, Miq'ote lore seems a bit too cookie cutter for me, unless I just make the SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE.
Dunno, some things just don't really feel rational just...eh.
