Questlove Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 What's your preferred type of bio for a worker in TEW? ORGANIC + Self-updating + Neat overview of key information, job history, relationships, teams, etc - Omits any semblance of personality - Not really any depth, no accomplishments etc WRITTEN + Allows for a lot more detail + Can get across a worker's personality - Gets very out of date very quickly - Loads of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Roguey Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Written bios all the way. Organic bios just miss the certain je ne sais quoi that the written bio can bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspymorten Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I get why you'd wanna do organic. Heck, I've been forced to do that a lot for my mods. But nothing beats a well written out bio. Those can be so damn cool, and convince me to book a certain worker at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those can be so damn cool, and convince me to book a certain worker at times. As I'm new to C-Verse, I can totally relate. Actually I'm having a hard time right now firing workers because I've read their stories and know how (long) they are connected to my company etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoolestjedi12 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I’m become more and more leaning towards organic just due to the sheer amount of stuff included. You get to see the work of doing job history, tag teams, end of the year awards and dojo graduates from it. Just makes all the small details feel worth it. As I create this new mod, I’m just like eh on written bios, and pretty lazy but mostly I’m More and more organic leaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idolized Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I prefer organic. For all of the reasons the poster above me said. It gives me the info I want to know, it’s clean, and everything is uniform. It’s also nice that it will update with current championship reigns and the like. Plus, how out of date written bios get take me out of immersion.

Tweek It Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I've come to like organic more than written. I used to be on the other side of it but the longer my game goes the more I come to appreciate it a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilman Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 For fictional mods written all the way. I don't know those people there so some backstory is very fine. For real world mods I don't mind organic bios since mostly I know those people and if I don't I can find some information on them. Of course I prefer written but it is not must for me.

Fleisch Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Organic in real world mods as you can find out info for a worker in real life if you want online. Seeing a guy/girl in 1994 have things relating to 2010 in their bio takes you right out of the game. That being said, fantasy mods are better with custom written bios.

raspymorten Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think the bit was that people don't like written bios, cause they're bad writers. Joke was just not executed all that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mammoth Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Seeing a guy/girl in 1994 have things relating to 2010 in their bio takes you right out of the game. Personally, I prefer written bios because you can make them more individual and add things that an organic bio simply doesn't add. However, like Fleisch says, seeing "future" details in a bio is a huge pet peeve for me. I can deal with bios becoming out-of-date but when they refer to something that hasn't happened yet and most possibly won't happen in the world you're creating, I can't abide it. It's pure laziness on the modification makers part in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psx Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Let me rephrase, ahem. Organic Bios are for people who think the nutrition facts on the cereal box is the best thing they've read this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aXminster Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Organic is always being updated with in-game accolades, so that's a huge win. For long term saves it makes a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I used to prefer written bios, but it always looks weird when workers have things in their bio from the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampaaage Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Early on in a new save I appreciate written a lot more, but as things develop and the game world starts to take shape I definitely prefer organic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryChadwick Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I tried organic bios once and wondered why anyone would ever do that. The written bios, particularly in the Tverse, are what give the entire world depth imo. And sometimes you find out about someone from another worker's bio, honestly one of my favorite aspects.

I think that’s the problem with doing written biographies for workers in real world mods, because while it’s easy to provide bios for a created world where all the workers are people you created, for the real world you have to find as much information as you can and it has to be updated if something in the real world happens. It feels like a lot of research and maintenance would have to go in to make written bios work in real world mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like a lot of research and maintenance would have to go in to make written bios work in real world mods And there is also alot of redundant & necessary information in IRL mods. The only ones where it is beneficial, is wrestlers without detailed Wiki pages and these are workers least likely to get a proper written biography Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
