Support NeoGAF

[Kiraly]

Really excited about what the team has done with character creation here. Including choosing background, skills, etc. You also can pick your pronoun (he, she, they) and we've recorded all the relevant dialogue to support that choice.

"Really excited"

 

[Mr Reasonable]

The only cringy thing here is you.

 

[ManaByte]

If they didn't do this they'd have to face endless Kotuku and Vox articles about how terrible they are. Putting the option in saves them that.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

If it makes a certain group happy and isn't forced on anyone then cool

 

[Saber]

And here we go again with those stupid pronouns.

 

[chromhound]

can i be as shemale ?

 

[ElCasual]

In the future the biology is dead.

 

[Meowtor]

so... letting people choose what they want to be referred as is cringe? Forza just did it too and its not like getting shoved down your throat so *shrug*

 

[digital_ghost]

 

[Cyberpunkd]

can i be as shemale ?

Yes, just make sure you correctly select your gender. Don’t want to end as a drag Queen by mistake.

 

[DeepEnigma]

No "it"?

Fucking, CANCELLED!

 

[Punished Miku]

My non-binary asexual Khajit can finally shine. It's times like these that you realize the United Nations can still get things done.

But in all seriousness, I really don't care if its an option. Took 1 second in Forza to pick my option and move on.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Most often than not you really can, same as looking at and deducing if someone is a man or a woman - I would say you have a high chance of getting it right.

 

[Lone Wolf]

can i be as shemale ?

Yes I would like to have huge tits and a massive dick. Best of both worlds.

 

[IDKFA]

Will they add neopronouns?

 

[Saber]

In the future the biology is dead.

Biology and science are problematic.

 

[bitbydeath]

If it makes a certain group happy and isn't forced on anyone then cool

Kind of like giving a drug addict their fix.

 

[chromhound]

Yes I would like to have huge tits and a massive dick. Best of both worlds.

i can have sex with any gender with no problem

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

My theory: This will keep getting more ridiculous until we come back full circle to only he/ she.

 

[BlackM1st]

If they didn't do this they'd have to face endless Kotuku and Vox articles about how terrible they are.

And? So what? Why would they care? They're bending the knee for crazies.

 

[BlackM1st]

 

[GHG]

Why are people enabling/encouraging this nonsense?

At what point do you not just say fuck off?

 

[DragoonKain]

But can you alter it mid-game for those who're gender fluid and their gender changes by the day or hour?

 

[Kacho]

Here’s a sneak peek at some NPC conversations in the game

 

[reksveks]

In the future the biology is dead.

There are a number of cases that doesn't fit into the 'nice' world that someone seem to live in.

XX male syndrome - Wikipedia

It's an option that you can ignore and makes a certain group of people feel represented so move the hell on unless you really believe that transgender people don't really exist and it's just a mental health issue but there are plenty of intersex variations (Category:Intersex variations - Wikipedia)

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Todd sounds confident as shit in Starfield. It comes through everytime he says anything about it. This thing must be looking unbelievable.

 

[TheBomb]

I'm not sure of why the debate. Microsoft can do whatever they want.

 

[SJRB]

Does it have a penis length / girth slider and a boob softness toggle?

Because if not I'm gonna post an article on Vice.

He sounded pretty confident in 76 also. Its his superpower.

 

[Closer]

In a perfect world, people would not be upset by having this or by not having this.

 

[BlackM1st]

[TrueLegend]

Yeah this kind of stuff is a waste of time for anyone who is working on anything productive for society. This is hijacking of peoples real issues making them trivial and arousing sentiments antithetical to notion of progression whether in game or else. I dont buy choice option since cd project red fiasco. All this is waste of development time. I will rather go back to time when a game did not needed to be redownloaded again in the name of day one patch. Polish your game on shipping itself if you have time to waste on stuff like this.

OMG

And some here saying this is not 'cringe'.

 

[Raven117]

If it makes a certain group happy and isn't forced on anyone then cool

Yeah, its fine. Hell, if you can't pretend to be something you aren't in a fantasy video game, where can you?

If it is just some choice you click on in the beginning and that is the end of it...that's fine.

 

[Captain Toad]

I identify as a Dodo bird, but people keep saying we are extinct. That's super hurtful, because it's like everyone refuses to acknowledge that I exist.

 

[DeepEnigma]

OMG

And some here saying this is not 'cringe'.

I don't ever want to hear the hardcore fanatics say "(Brand) is such a woke trash company." ever again as a form of their platform war criticism.

You all know who you are.

These people have lost their minds.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I don't even play on Xbox and I don't see how this is cringe? Just select whatever makes you happy and play the game like everybody else.

I don't get why people get so bothered by stuff that doesn't affect them in any way, or their enjoyment of the games.

 

[SJRB]

Todd sounds confident as shit in Starfield. It comes through everytime he says anything about it. This thing must be looking unbelievable.

This fucking guy is literally one of the most unreliable hype men in the videogame industry. Don't trust anything he says.

 

[bitbydeath]

Yeah, its fine. Hell, if you can't pretend to be something you aren't in a fantasy video game, where can you?

Real life, apparently.

 

[TheMay30thMan]

I sincerely hope OP, and anyone else bothered by this, find happiness one day.

 

[Captain Toad]

Yeah, its fine. Hell, if you can't pretend to be something you aren't in a fantasy video game, where can you?

If it is just some choice you click on in the beginning and that is the end of it...that's fine.

No single person is a "they". It's a plural term.

It doesn't matter what genitalia you have and whether you are pretending you have the opposite or not, you are still just one person.

Sorry to all neoGAF users, but this is full cringe.

 

[Barakov]

Looks like the marketing for this is starting in earnest.

 

[Helghan]

Makes sense.

how can these retards look in the mirror

 

[remember_spinal]

Who cares? No one is forcing anyone to be anything
