《Mother's Basement Studios》Major Interviews: OneSteelCalf
Advertisement
Major_Rebecca: Welcome back to another interview, soldiers! Today, our interviewee is OneSteelCalf. This lady gamer here has some interesting things to report about the CSP faction! Calf, can you tell us what happened?
OneSteelCalf: Sure. I created a new character after reading up on the CSP faction. I thought it was really cool - besides the whole, you know, xenophobia thing.
Major_Rebecca: Right, right.
OneSteelCalf: So, um, they’re normally dark-skinned people from living in hot regions and stuff. So I turned Sheba - that’s the name of my character - a kind of lime green skin tone with burnt sienna hair. I gave her a little ‘fro because why not?
Major_Rebecca: Haha! So, what happened when you spawned in the starter town?
OneSteelCalf: Well, I spawned in Jaharton which, in hindsight, is never a good place to start even if you look like a normal CSP Human.
Major_Rebecca: How come?
OneSteelCalf: There’s [Paladins] everywhere. One thing I learned about the CSP is that they’re really big on the Conquest celestial. While they worship all three, it’s clear that Conquest is the favored god of the trinity, especially in Jaharton. They’re ruled by an oligarchy of powerful [Warlords] that put physical and spiritual strength before everything. Sheba was just a defenseless [Alchemist] in a town full of cutthroat zealots.
Major_Rebecca: That sounds awful!
OneSteelCalf: The struggle was real.
Major_Rebecca: How long did it take for the...hostilities to start?
OneSteelCalf: About five minutes.
Major_Rebecca: That fast?
OneSteelCalf: Sheba’s a lime green-skinned character, after all.
Major_Rebecca: I didn’t think skin color would matter in a world of various fantasy species. I guess some hate never dies…
OneSteelCalf: You got that right.
Major_Rebecca: What was your experience?
OneSteelCalf: I was trying to complete my first starter quest - buying ingredients from an NPC shop. I had to make a Lesser Health Potion. I was headed to the shop, just minding my own business, when an NPC child chucked a Sour Berry at the back of Sheba’s head. I took 5 damage alone from that since I hardly put any points into Body. I got some dirty looks all the way to the shop and when I finally got there, the shopkeeper took one look at me and told me to get lost. I left the shop and was immediately attacked by a mob of low-leveled [Paladin] NPCs. It took me about a minute to die. The sounds Sheba made as she was being hacked apart...

Major_Rebecca: That’s...awful.
OneSteelCalf: Yeah...I’ve been taking a break from R&C ever since then. Just trying to, uh, let all that negativity pass.
Major_Rebecca: I see. Will you ever try playing as Sheba again?
OneSteelCalf: Probably not. I’ve had enough of the CSP faction for now.
Major_Rebecca: Well, I hope you have better luck next time with a new character.
OneSteelCalf: Me too.
Major_Rebecca: Um, that’s all we have time for today. Thanks for coming on, Calf.
OneSteelCalf: No problem.
Major_Rebecca: This is Major, signing off!
...
OneSteelCalf: Is that, like, a catchphrase you guys have?
Major_Rebecca: Yeah. Why?
OneSteelCalf: It’s kinda cringe, not gonna lie.
Major_Rebecca: Yes, well, I’m trying my hardest to-Jacobi, why is the camera still rolling?
