Honestly knowing Obsidian I have the feel that it's not going to just be the pronouns.
They made Viconia into an ugly hag so of course it's shit!
Really? I've been in this game over 30yrs worked on lots of sites all and worked with lots of diverse teams and I've never once had to think what gender is this person, it simply doesn't exist outside of woke AF media firms and their HR/Marketing departments, everyone else.. it's all men and women and that's what's infuriating about this whole thing, trans people in ordinary life are like fucking unicorns we all know they exist but we never encounter them day to day yet I have to wear a fucking unicorn badge, play a fucking unicorn and if I don't like it, I'm the bigot!?!?
Bro, i didnt play either, but i simply aknowledge them both of being solid games, HL got canceled by woke clowns(resetera and alike deranged ppl), not by antifeminists like myself
Hate is such a strong word for someone voicing their opinion. Why does Elon upset you so much? Is it because he speaks out about stuff you champion?
What does that really mean? Whether positive or negative,all cultures will be influenced by outside forces.
Its a matter of how much tolerant person is and how much woke agenda is pushed in our faces, if game is of very high quality and woke agenda isnt pushed much then obviously 99% players wont mind it, its simple as thatSo that just shows you that having pronouns in fantasy RPG's both can be acceptable and don't kill art with 'wokeism'
You could go and create threads about other stuff, be the change you wanna see instead of complaining all over the board.
How can that be? You can correctly identify the gender of someone from India or Korea just from their name. I know I can't.
I'm going to be honest, commiting to not playing games that sport this kind of stuff is getting harder. Already skipped on BG3 and the DQ3 remake, and honestly I don't know if I'll be able to keep it up if more seemingly cool games keep doing this.Well at least if you opt not to play it because of that, you'll be firm on your commitment. And that is respectable in itself.
But in general, I can tell you that BG3 is a beloved game on GAF and most of the internet, broke award records etc etc. And it has the gender / pronoun options in its character creator too. It even changes how some characters talk to you, whether with male / female pronouns or they/them if you chose non-binary.
Many people in this thread enjoyed the game regardless of all that tho. So, to Elong's point, pronouns in a fantasy game can be acceptable and do not contribute in killing art.
If it only would be consistent;
Most gamers are soft?
If you want me to qualify it for you, then by all means.
This is a funny statement considering that breaking the status quo is what has led to progress over the millennia. Why venture outside the cave as a caveman, if the status quo of being safe inside the cave is acceptable?
Why do I need to know their gender in the first place? It's a professional environment, gender doesn't come into it, I write or talk to them as a fucking person
If pronouns existing in games offends you to this degree, then you are soft.
Ah, I don't. I find it more concerning than anything else to be honest. But to each their own.
I think if a game originates with pronoun selection for the purpose of a game's systems to determine if you are male or female and load in dialogue to use towards your character then that's fine. I am also fine with the body type nonsense if a franchise started that way. What isn't ok is if a game had always used male/female and suddenly just flips a switch and uses Body Type A/B then it isn't ok. Or if the game goes out of it's way to shove pronouns in your face at every given opportunity.
So you never use pronouns when talking to or about people? So you just use 'they/them' and thats somehow better?
Why is he a moron?
If lack of diversity and inclusion offends you. Then you are soft.
Correct.
Ironically, Musk likes Diablo 4.
What else bothers you that we should have toggles for?
