For video games I think this one is completely bullshit. The fact that romanceable characters in an RPG will adapt to the player's preference is not the same thing. That is just the game accommodating the story the player wants. Outside of open-ended RPGs specifically built to accommodate player agency/preference, gays are actually underrepresented. And no, one or two series having a LOT of queer characters (probably too many in the case of at least one series that shall not be mentioned) does not offset the fact that the vast majority of story-driven games have none.
It really depends on the developers intent. If these are deeply developed characters with rich backstories, especially ones that are supposed to exist in our modern or historical real world, then giving them distinct preferences is correct. If they're just fantasy bimbos and himbos for the players to toy with, then just give the player whatever they want.
Blah blah blah. The conversation was about whether or not the Overton window has shifted. I'm not interested in debating with you about how more gays = gooder. But you are a legitimate fucking retard if you think gay "stuff" and crazy gender shit in games was present 10 years ago at anywhere close to the same prevalence as it is today. I don't care if you like it or aren't bothered by it or think it's an accurate representation of the world or whatever. You are a stupid human being if you think this was normal 10 years ago and the only thing that's changed is people got more sensitive to it.
What I'm saying is that 10 years ago it was normal to have way less options. And you are being stupid for saying that less options is somehow better. The availability of options does not harm your experience aside from how you imagine it does.
Did you parachute into the BG3 thread? It certainly felt like a lot of us were complaining, in the first few days, about the faggot romance pickup option, from every single character, breaking immersion.
I've got a couple following me now, but not the entire field like you do. I've not had any weird bugs the entire time I've been playing, and I wonder if the patch they did the other day screwed with something. I'm also not running any mods. I haven't seen any characters float off into the either. Just weird.
Wasn't is linked earlier in the thread about someone's ship, on reddit, flying around attached to The Eye and maybe the Wolf station?
Yeah, it's strange since PC should have only gotten three minor big fixes. I had my only two crashes after the patch, too.
I kind of chalked that up to people using console commands to get Reddit attention, but maybe they were legit. Saw another post about the rocks sticking to the ship today, too.
[Insert National Lampoon's Vacation joke about Asteroids] I was going to Simulator my way to Piloting rank 4 tonight but I get its those bounties/Ranger targets unlucky night instead.
I've had one, but apart from the asteroids and the one crash, everything has been fine, apart from the game not being optimized. Only other deal is the lag with switching weapons if you've got crap in your inventory.
I finally went back and finished the mission to repair the colonists satellite and fight off the spacers. When I originally did it it was pretty early in the game and I got my ass handed to me. Now that I've got the razor leaf and I've upgraded it, went back and completed the mission. The nice part is you end up killing a lot of ships, which allowed me to get the fourth rank of piloting, maybe 15 or so. If you're looking to rank up the skill you might want to go check out that particular deal. I don't remember how I got it it may have been a random communication when I went into the system, but it's in one of the starting systems.
