I hope plenty of characters share his feelings because while I can appreciate plenty of thought going into how a character chooses friends or mates, I'd also like to see what might be considered 'normal' or 'traditional' portrayed equally if not more.
Thanks. I wanted to try to make a character that wasn't just a 21st century secular westerner in disguise. Or more specifically, that wasn't just me with cat ears. So I read up on all of the lore, and I thought long and hard about how best to incorporate that into my character. I thought it would be more interesting if I could sort of take on the mantle of being a regular Miqo'te, rather than being the exception to every single rule and just tossing all of the lore out the window. All the while adding some of my own concoction of flaws to his character.
It's something I've learned to appreciate much more as of late. Having serious character flaws or limitations will often make things so much more enjoyable. Like playing Skyrim as a self-loathing Orc who wants nothing more than to be a Nord, and having that colour every decision he makes.
And I too hope more people jump aboard the traditionalist wagon. If nothing else the contrast between tribal and non-tribal will make things more interesting.
