And for anyone who doesn't have a preference it's the same, if you're dood be a dood, but I'll never understand the anger or resistance towards something as minor as an option
Because it’s demanding that we play along with an untruth.
Lol cp2077 has some straight fucking, in the main questline no less. How is that devoid of sexuality.
All of this is especially reductive, if you do not wish to engage with it nothing changes for your experience and nothing is forced upon you, have you ever applied for a job and gotten to the the "title" line and been as this offended lol
Problem is you're ignoring context. Imagine you're in China and every game is forced to put the phrase "praise Mao" in the menu screen.
This isnt China and no higher authority is forcing any game to include a pronoun option into their video game, you can try to make the argument that it's only in there to appeal to some kind of social obligation but its more likely that one minor option for the game to call you something other than it would by default appeals to certain people and that anyone upset by that is reaching for straws to be mad about on the internet. Truth is people only care about pronouns being in Starfield because it's just not that great of a game, BG3 has the exact same option and you dont hear a word about it
Yes, you're very much forced to. Otherwise risk facing severe backlash from certain loud employees, collegues, employers, being called names and losing your job. There are no higher authorities imposing this (yet, we're already headed that way) but there might as well be.
You're just going in circles, are you forced to or not? As far as that dumb mod goes it was pretty obviously made with negative intentions by people trying to troll
A good story is kinda essential for me in a 100 hour RPG but then I was done with Bethesda after Skyrim.
Yes, you are forced, if a single person suggests something like that in a game like this, you cannot turn it down without risking to end up in a HR department. Thats how it works today.
On this beat, the decision to choose the natural option actually results in great things in the section right before the credits, so you essentially prove that trusting the science wasn't right. I did have the same initial reaction, though.
You keep saying that but i'm sure you could quickly find a recent game that doesn't ask your pronouns that no one has made a fuss about and you're right the mod is a small thing, almost as if it being removed is even smaller of an issue
I've never seen that video before and skipping through it quickly made me so angry especially the part about ripping pages out and 'good games aren't written, they're played'. Guy's a doofus.
Tbh, every western rpg dev studio need Chris Avellone. Including cdpr and Larian.
I was being sarcastic
I actually just went back to skyrim to see if I was crazy or as this board is so fond of saying when anything over 5 years old is venerated, “”wearing rose tinted glasses””
Well yes they do give you a good evaluation... or at least one free of criticism. But I wonder what it says about going the other way on it. I should look that up.
I’d go as far to say there’s almost no sexuality present in the game whatsoever. As rare as it is I did manage to find some in Neon, inside the Astral Lounge, but it wasn’t what I expected. When I arrived, all I could see were some dildo looking guys in women’s clothes dancing on an elevated platform. I simply turned around and left.
Well the person I quoted said the op was wrong and the opposite of what people are saying in the starfield thread and since we are talking about writing..
