It's also not-so-subtle reference to slavery that somehow gets a pass
They run what effectively amounts to a voluntary rickshaw service and get paid for their labour, so I wouldn't define it as slavery.
They're also provided with quality footwear (and in one case, stirrups, which amused me more than I can express).
I mean, they're always unhappy, answering in single-word sentences. They wear in torn pants too. You're not paying them or interacting with them, you're paying the well-clothed "master".
I don't mind it a bit, but it's just weird how this gets a pass when Jungle Savages or Ali's don't.
If you ask them about it, they do confirm they get paid (albeit not well).
Admittedly, they seem to be rather keen to stay in character, so it's difficult to glean much information, but thatsthejoke.jpg.
Just checked the code to be sure, and they only use a sad reaction in one line of their dialogue.
I picked out torn trousers (on one of the 'horsemen') as it seemed likely they'd be damaged by running through harsh jungle undergrowth.
I'm happy for it to be sanitised/removed if it's deemed inappropriate. (I believe it is on a list of diversity concerns, so I'm sure you're not the first to have raised it as a potential issue.) At the time it was a patch note fixing a typo in a way that amused me and I hoped might amuse others.
I imagine it could be retained with some adjustments to alleviate ambiguous interpretation, if that's a concern for players. My primary motivation was to address a long-standing text reference to horses when there's a running joke that mounts aren't in common use.
I mean the pun/joke is amazing and I'd love to see it kept in.
Player: Who are you?
Hajedy (annoyed/not approving): His name is Theh Orses. He pulls the cart
Player: Theh Orses? That's a silly name
Theh Orses (angry): Nay.
Player: Does he pay you well?
Theh Orses (sad): Nay.
Player: Have you always pulled the car?
Theh Orses (puzzled): Nay.
The off-putting thing is that Hajedy automatically answers for him and he seems annoyed about the question. That with combination with his response for second and third question derails the joke into potential slavery area.
I think all that has to be done is allow him to answer before Hajedy and/or change his emotions in second and third question.
Yep, I agree would benefit from a little tuning to make them happier and less open to inferences of slavery.
