Because immersion and freedom of the player is thrown right out the window.

MMOs should be about being a part of a community, and not having a story driven to cater to the single player. It's not good writing if you can't incorporate a situation for all players to be there or to be anything.

I don't want to play a Rogue/Necromancer Character, and be the Warrior of Light at the end of the journey.

It's clearly the best anatomy for a tool-using land dweller, aka the only type of animal that has a remote chance of developing and being able to make full use of a meaningful intellect

>this is unrealistic

I can't remember who stated it, but it is impossible for a species to be as capable and sentient as us without an upright spine, limbs that can grasp and bend, and can climb. If there are alien species they will have more similarities to humans than not.

>>387052857
How about a 4-legged-2-armed creature? Why even have similar bone structure at all?

>>387052942
Do you think Lovecraft was a fucking scientist? All his lore is a rip off of pre-Olympian lore anyways.

>>387053189
It's a supporting spine that can hold up a brain, so a Centaur like creature? Yes, probably capable, but not entirely. They won't climb or descend into caves, so they won't have the capability to leave the planet.

>>387052165
I'm fine with it. Except when fucking city guards keep giving me shit even though I can murder everyone within a 1km radius.

But Cloud was the opposite of a chosen one. He was a regular soldier that thought Zack's memories were his.

Good game but "You're inadvertently the chosen one because everyone but you died"

"You are a Guardian, forged in Light"

>Halo
Also good but "You're a huge badass soldier out of several badass soldiers"

>>387054462
The chosen one was Aeris. And the hero was Zack.

Is there a video game where YOU have to stop the chosen one?

In single player games, I don't mind it. But in MMOs where you're very aware you're playing, fighting, and questing with hundreds of other real people also being told their the chosen one, it feels eye-rolly

>>387055162
Great game. I should go replay that.

>>387054731
That's not incorporating it well. That's telling the players to ignore the narrative when there is more than one of them.

>>387053336
The brain being the same or even only developing such a way is retarded.
Dolphins and octopi might've been set to inherit the earth had we not, for instance.

You're failing to realize just how much of an obstacle aquatic life is, it really puts a ceiling on how much a species is able to develop

Runescape's Sixth Age was a mistake. All the terrible retcons that create continuity errors in nearly every quest in the game on top of the absolute clusterfuck the lore has become? It's disgusting.

I remember a scene in A realm reborn where your character gets apprehended and tied up by some random guards in the last cutscene even though you literally kill gods for a living.

Not really, hell there's 5th age quests made AFTER 2013 like the vampyre ones. Because quests are self contained, a 5th age one doesn't collide with a 6th age one.

Content drought can never be solved and the reason all MMOs go to trash.

Some are better than others at alleviating (WoW probably the worst), but even the best (XIV) suffers from shit content to fill it in general.
