Description

I and many have made this kind of arguement before but I'd like to revisit it and tell you how it can and will effect the viewer and players. The way you write is the way an audience will feel about a situation regardless of what context you may state afterwards if you write something a certain way its tone is already engraved. I know I rag on the game a lot but it's the recent big Sonic game....Sonic Forces. The way the game is written is a clear example of a lack of tone, misunderstanding of it or both. The standard issue is the certain dialouge choices like the 'torture' line and 'Tails lost it' line which aren't in the original script. But you see.....you see how those effected the tone when a player comes across them as you're told immedately about the situation and as an observer your brain will react to it.

Even if the line wasn't supposed to be there orignally it being there in general will effect how things go from the point it is said onwards. If we're told this character went through something regarded as dark or mature in subject (not matter who you are torture is a subject that you can't handle lightly even in terms of comedy) then there's an expectation of mind to infere what exactly happen, how the characters around them are effected, and how the character themselves are effected. The same with the Tails line which also some WILD context even outside of Forces where for one he looks fine and two he cowers at an unpowered Chaos dspite fighting and beating a powered by four emeralds chaos.

Even if it was added in the other versions of the game.....why was this here and needed to force change on the tone of the game?

Tone is everything and this is something the current writers of the games neglect....even if you want to write for children even a young mind can infer and tell different ideals based on a tone they're given. The atmosphere of Forces is similar to that of the Shadow game it's made to be drab and intentional. That is the point with Shadow which owns its own right but Forces gets it wrong because the characters are out of context. They (at least some of them) don't feel effected by the circumstance which ruins the tone tremendously. You wouldn't put Peewee Herman in Mad Max as it would make no sense and the tone misses the point so much it's in outer space. That is a more extreme metaphor but the idea is there if I'm correct.

You can keep these characters the way they are if you'd like but understand they aren't made to graivitate to every situation unless they're completely rewritten I feel you can't tell that serious of a story with these current characters.
