Rare Incel Victory #69: Avowed adds option to remove pronouns

From the screenshot the checkbox is unselected, so if thats the default it is "Display Identifier: (unselected) No" so basically it would be yes, display it. But also don't own the game so cant confirm.
He phrased it the opposite way. Meaning the checkbox must’ve been activated but he deactivated it and then took the screenshot.
Can someone go check who hasn’t fiddled with anything yet? Then take a screenshot.

You two are saying opposite things here, so which is right here?
Default, visible pronouns/identifier: on or off?

The default is on. This is how it looks when you leave it as the default (on) :

And this is what it looks like when you toggle the option off:

Taken from fightincowboy's let's play (skip to around the 15 minute mark to see his interactions with these options):

Well then that Matt Hansen guy got his little win there, unless they’ve patched it since that video, ManaByte ManaByte said No (unchecked) is default. I’ll check when the GP release is out.

Am I stupid btw or is that UI confusing?
Show pronouns - then an unchecked box - then a label Yes beside it.
I would’ve left that unchecked thinking if I check it I say Yes.

I literally loaded the game and made a character to take the screenshot. The defeat is off.

Edit: Here, I went and recorded a video. This is just rushing through character creation to the end where the Pronouns are defaulted to "No". Next time try believing a poster here instead of a rage grifter on YouTube who wants to feed your confirmation bias for monetized views.

So I faked the video I just recorded? Fuck this place.

Yes darling, that's exactly what I said.

Instead of approaching this from a rational standpoint where it's likely that a patch has changed that option, you've decided to go down the route where you throw your toys out the pram and accuse perfectly credible youtubers of being "rage grifters".

Like I said before, if you want to go down the same road that you did with Veilguard wherein you need to resort to character assassination in a vain attempt to defend this game, then it won't end well for you.

Explain to me how I faked it. That's a video from the start screen, starting a new game, and fresh character creation.

You're accusing me of lying. Prove I fake it or shut up.

I'm not accusing you of lying regarding the video you posted. That much is clear in what I've stated.

What I am taking issue with however is you accusing someone who had access to a review copy of the game of being a "rage grifter". Which in itself is unfortunate because that same "rage grifter" actually decided to recommend the game.

I'm more bothered that you can't modify the body in the character creator. I mean you can create a very good looking female face in the game and even hide the godlike fungus, but it's still going to have the same body with preset proportions and barely any breasts present.

They already took pronouns out as a option.. you wanted them to give breasts? To females? ... na.... baby steps or they will kill thenselfs.

Jesus Christ, this UI design is terrible. How did it pass play and quality testing? Counter-intuitive and obscure as to what is actually selected as all hell.

Meh! Obsidian is in California. Naughty Dog is there too. Isn’t that where Baywatch was filmed? What happened?! How can devs there forget that women can look smoking hot??

I cant believe we are arguing over this as a community.

Over a pro noun selector. Cmon squad.

Game looks okay to decentish, nothing special. Good combat. Weak as hell other stuff. No need to argue over this pronouns shit that games like BG3 has

Please enlighten us. I’m 10 hours in and haven’t been slapped in the face with anything crazy woke.

But enlighten us without using a YouTube video that ignores 95% of the game to create a false narrative.
I haven't played the game but I heard there's one quest that deals with abortion medication and then there's a discussion about abortion. Sounds kind of strange for a fantasy world.

the quest in question, is about a Bathhouse/brothel owner smuggling contraceptive for her prostitutes. The nation your character is from that's illegal, so like in any good rpg you have severals ways of handling that quest.

Whiners get what they want yet are still complaining. "It's not enough that I can remove it from my game, it needs to be forcefully removed from other people's games as well."

An Absolute Desaster
I wonder how the person feels now who was saying to Musk, that there would be so much dei stuff in this game. That didn’t happen and that they even give the option now to remove pronouns, there must have be some pressure from the higher ups.
