How far do you think RP as a xeno should go?

Post by manezinho » 21 Nov 2017, 17:31

Just in general. I think the current state is fine (excluding the RP with survivors). Tell me what you guys think.

The RP is being Xeno and trying to survive and multiply. Thats kind of it. Apart from meeing at a door survivors are hiding behind.

Hiss in the dark, interact with marines from behind a glass window before fleeing, be spoopy.

I've already voiced my opinion, I think the weird shit xenos usually try to do with survivors is way too LRP. IMO the best RP Xenos can do is just being creepy to humans.

meme a bit as a xeno for maximum unit cohesion. Xeno RP is, frankly, a bit of a joke since they have no tools at their disposal to do so (like personalities) and only serve to drive marine plot

They do, its a RPG game. The players are RPing as Xenos by being Xenos. The terms kind of annoyign though as they are RPing by playing.

The story is focused on the Marines, Xenos serve only as antagonists to their story.

The question isint how you should RP as a Xeno, its how you can influence the Marine's experience.

Xenoes are not allowed to RP with humans. So Xeno has little RP value if it even has any. This policy is a failure.

So far it seems that more people agree that the best xeno RP is just being a xeno.
