So just copy the text and paste it into your web browser. It isn't that har—
That is what I do once the scene gives me a reason to care, though I will freely admit that does not always happen.
I was referencing earlier in this thread where a few people were against and a bunch of people were ambivalent at best when they have to leave the game window for some basic information.
"A cute brunette with cherub cheeks", for instance, is one million times more useful to me than "Felicity Jones in a uniform".
(edit, because I got ninja'd by Faraday): I consider at least a shortdesc like that to be critical.
I mean, yes, I should know who Felicity Jones is and be all fawning over her quirky Zooey Deschanel look, but I still had to look her up. Really, I had to look up every actress mentioned in this thread. "Cute brunette with cherub cheeks"? I could know more, but now I know a lot.
Tell me what you want me to know. That's what a desc is. But just like a pose, at least give me something.

Another reason I think descs have fallen out of favor is that the entire system is so dang clunky. You have to put in the static desc, create a bunch of outfits
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Nobody ever made anyone else use a multidescer. A lot of people have tried, mind, back in the late 90s and early 00s, but I have been resolute even as a coder that if they wanted to they could knock themselves out, otherwise I'mma gonna do my static thing.
