QuantaStarFire posted:- Starting the game in a relationship this was actually the thing I found most baffling about Twitcher 3, that apparently I was supposed to be in love with this chick from my distant past I hadn't spoken to in years from the outset. if Geralt's motivation had just been to reconnect with her, that'd've been fine, and maybe I could then have decided I wanted to bone her if I actually liked her. but no, apparently I had to be all mutant puppy love. no room for "ex I'd like to get on better terms with," CDPR? my confidence in Bethesda's ability to handle this more adultily is nil.

crawlkill posted:all Bethesda games since Oblivion have looked good in previews. we've been burned three times before. This. I was super excited about F3 and Skyrim. They looked so fun in the trailers, yet both of them were shallow and buggy with terrible combat and braindead writing. I'm sure F4 will be slightly better than either of them, but the writing will probably be as bad as usual, and I don't really enjoy games like Minecraft so the new gimmick of crafting everything yourself and building houses doesn't sound all that exciting.

Why didn't I get a loving memo? if you srsly care that a fictional character in a video game has a predefined sexual orientation which may differ from your own, yeah you're pretty much one of those oh no i am gay i cant play as a (maybe) straight nameless pseudo-50s guy eeewww next step is whining on twitter for bethesda to implement gender sliders because your panromantic demisexual multiple system-kin is not on the list cthulhoo fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Jun 15, 2015 |

I get the idea that people would like a set-story protagonist to break the mold instead of being some hetero (and usually white) dude, but it seems like the arguments are going for "MY IMMERSION IS RUINED" than pointing out rightly that very few games go for the "nonstandard" route for protagonist orientations and backgrounds and only let people choose to express these characterizations as long as it has no effect on the story.

This video game where you fight giant mutated chameleons in an alternate history is fatally flawed because it doesn't have a respectful portrayal of the struggles of gay men during the early days of the AIDS epidemic.

"oh no i was railroaded into being a released prisoner in morrowind, boo loving hoo" bethesda games always had a specific beginning, then again there always were alternate start mods, so don't worry, if nobody makes you a gay cannibal starter pack, you'll be able to cook one perfectly matching your fetishes in the construction kit

It's a role playing game, I'd like the choice of not having to roleplay as a family man.
