I have that same issue except nobody really notices when I go into Away mode lol.I work from home but we are on Microsoft Teams so unless my mouse moves enough, I won't show online.
Time to invest in a office fan....
How is the story and dialogues in general ? this is what worries me a lot (the rest of the game seems good to great)

I have to admit, seeing the gamepass kids ask about ea release on a wb game is kinda hilarious. These guys don't realize they probably have to buy a game for once.
Nobody at all asking when this game comes to ps plus lol...

For all the hype this game is getting in the midst of the systematic destruction of trans folkx like it was Tienanmen Square, we have to remember that in about two weeks, all the problems/bugs will start being focused on and it will turn out to be just another Open world ubi-game before everyone moves on.
Don't be caught in the hype and unnecessarily claim it as GOTY, because we all know it's Age of Empires II.

they have a marketing and exclusive content agreement with Playstation, no chance this was going to get on Gamepass anytime soon.

Here’s what else you get with deluxe. And apparently preorders get a Felix Fellatio potion recipe.

Not to turn this entirely into a trans conversation but you make a good point. Think of it like sports fans, you can always tell who is a real fan of a team by the knowledge they have of said team and the dedication they show. But then of course you get a lot of bandwagon fans who jump on at random intervals and can't even tell you who the current QB is. Actual trans people, like those who abide by what the term has meant for all of humanity until 30 minutes ago and made the very real personal decision due to gender dysphoria, don't typically parade around how big of a fan they are of said transition cause again it was done for personal reasons, not as an imaginative club they can use to beat people into submission over woke nonsense.
But then you get a bunch of bandwagon "trans" people who suddenly see they can become a victim in 30 seconds flat by dying their hair and putting pronouns in their bio and enforcing said pronouns on a shocked society when "trans woman" very much is just a dude with a beard who suddenly is wearing fake breast and a wig and wants to pee next to women.

Can't wait for this game to come out, so I can stop reading insane posts like this one from that site

I don't think anyone has covered this specifically, and I know it's not a souls game, but is the combat weighty? I went from bloodborne to Witcher 3 and I stopped Witcher. The demons souls remake magic felt powerful and had a heft ro it. Is this just flinging a wand or does it have a heft to it?

does this game support DualSense on PC?

Suprised about the lack of reviews mentioning the trans character... I assume their trans because they have "body Type 2" and have an blatantly male voice while looking off in the face.
surprisingly the the most fantasy aspect of a game set in 1900 about wizards.

Basically that trans women will never be real women.

I would take that as a win, not as a loss. Thers only 2 ppl online in my PS5 friends list now at 3am, 1 is playing the game, and the other is probably downloading it as its not playing anything. Tomorrow afternoon evenig should be interesting to see how many ppl are playing the game from my friendlist.

Context wise it was a response to a twitter post about a feminist talking about "people who menestrate" and pointing out sarcastically that they used to be called "women".
Queue huge backlash from the trans community, which inevitably lead to her entrenching her position from all the death threats etc that came her way.

that some men might abuse peoples kind hearted nature and use these new rule changes to abuse women. Which might seem like a slippery slope however its happening in the UK right now:
This trans prisoner has divided Britain
Isla Bryson, who was convicted of raping two women, has sparked a fierce debate about allowing transgender women to serve their sentence in female prisons.

I was googling the voice actor and my hits came back with this.
Hogwarts Legacy Introduces Harry Potter Series' First Transgender Character
Hogwarts Legacy introduces the first trans character to Harry Potter, with Sirona Ryan making her debut in the game.

"Hadn’t seen him in years when he came in a few months ago. But, he recognized me instantly. Which is more than I can say for some of my own classmates. Took them a second to realize I was actually a witch, not a wizard.”
So yes they come out and say it. I mean its pretty obvious as soon as they speak... they picked the most male of voice actors to voice them.

It really seems like they changed the voice after the character was created though.

Well I'll be damned. Some hippie turd made a search engine to find out WHO TO FOLLOW on Twitch
Some fool that's LGBT or an ally of them in the comments of that tweet was defending using this tool. He's trying to be slick and saying its not harassment or the person bringing awareness about the website isn't encouraging harassment.
One of these days some really bad shit will get down when harassing, doxxing, or trying to hurt other people's family members because they don't care about the same issues you do or have a different political view. This is really going down a dark path. These extremists better be careful in going down that road.

Oh yeah I wouldn't doubt it. But it's now the scariest thing I've seen in the game so far. I was like, "oh shit wtf is that?"

She made a post that took issue with the term “people with vaginas” was against male rapists being put in women’s prisons, and funded a domestic abuse shelter that only allowed biological women.
Yes, that’s really it.

In a slightly broader context, she’s bringing up the fact (correctly) that trans rights can impinge on the rights of biological women. But instead of accepting this logical conclusion, one side of the argument refuses to believe it, or care about it at all. Therein lies the problem.

And the obvious issue of the rights of 51% of the human population being outclassed by the rights of 0.05%

Yes.
People have to realize the same people who believe JK Rowling is hateful are the same people who believe a lot of other crazy stuff. I'm not going to get into it because it's off topic, but if you follow the journalists and gamers who are all-in hating JK Rowling, they unsurprisingly almost always follow the typical checklist of crazy/toxic beliefs on all matters of society. So it really isn't any surprise they wouldn't have the intellect or nuance to actually view this in a genuine way.
Also, I don't believe as many people actually care about it as they say. A lot of them are pretending to performatively to gain acceptance from certain segments of gaming circles.
No one with any intelligence or common sense could read her comments and think they were remotely hateful. As has been proven many times over when actual journalists(the non gaming type) went to do stories on her, researched the topic, and found nothing hateful at all. And of course they were trashed for not agreeing with the original narrative. Notice a pattern? JK isn't the hateful one. Ironically, it's her detractors spreading the constant hate.
JK Rowling transphobic? How I went from spreading this false narrative to seeing right through it – EJ Rosetta
Once upon a crime I believed, strongly and emphatically, that JK Rowling was transphobic.
