Fucking lazy ass map design
>>344536476
You ever hear of Antarctica faggot?
It's all perspective. We only consider things North or South based upon what we've been conditioned to.
If someone drew the first map that circulated universally upside down then that would be the norm.

this triggers me, unless you're making a representation of earth, there's literally no reason not to have wonky climates unless you're boring

It's cold/snowy yet still a desert.

Because inventing a rich language that can convey all the ideas in English would take a lot of time and effort, then repeat that for every species.
Also you wouldn't be able to understand them without subtitles, in the end it's just simpler to do it in English.
>>344538990
Name one.
>>344536869
Americans can't even play japanese games without dubs, what makes you think they'd appreciate games where every single species uses a different language and they're forced to use subs?

every bioware game ever
>>344539896
desert is like the word gay, it can mean multiple things but people use tundra to refer to cold deserts and desert to refer to hot ones
>>344541295
Literally nobody is ever in antarctica or Siberia and thinks "god I hate the desert".

What is Magnetic North for 500?
And don't try to throw alternating magnetic pole shit at me, it doesn't happen enough to be relevant

Because you people to stupid to assume that everyone doesn't have a translating earpiece on them.
>>344545154
>>344536869
>>344540316
Or that they in truth are speaking in other languages and the story isn't just translated for the player. You don't read an English translation of War and Peace and bitch about everyone in Russia speaking English.
