Choice to turn off thing

[NothingSuS]

I would like the option to remove the real world stuff from my fantasy game.

Oooh a plot twist, can't wait to see where this rabbit hole leads to.

Next hint then: Their name has 3 letters in it and they are always mysteriously silent/absent whenever you're around.

Okay, interesting, what is the price of this game?

Yeah, that's how I feel. Probably 99% of people have no strong feelings about how body types are labeled, what percentage of characters are 'allowed' to be gay, whatever.

They're just trying to play a game.

People who do not accept genital mutilation and LGBT propaganda need a voice too.

I don't really need games to take up the issue of male circumcision personally. Honestly, I don't really need genitals to be addressed in my crpgs.

Frankly I'd say that's even worse. Pansexual at least leaves all female characters available to the male character PC. What Cyberpunk did was literally shut off 75% of romantic interests from straight males, leaving them with one single romanceable NPC. CDPR made half of the already scarce romances homosexual, which makes just as little sense as making them all pansexual, but leaves the players with vastly less options.

Both options are bad, both are disproportionately bloating homosexual relationships, despite the fact that straight males are the main demographic for these games by a huge margin.

The options were very limited, but they were equally limited for everyone, not just straight guys. Plus technically it's two options per character's sex, not one per player's sex.

I do prefer the player-sexual route though. The characters I play and my companion preferences are completely independent of my character's sex, so that is a limitation I do not appreciated.

Why, you coming clean. Surely that is reward enough for thee?

Right, so you'd be fine with having a majority white, 90% straight character cast? If no, then why not?

Well I managed to play video games for decades while this was true without whining about it.

And given that the person you're responding to keeps mentioning how much they liked Ultima I think they'd survive it too lol

I would not create such game anymore though. Would be boring garbage.

And to be fair I'm seriously feeling that was the golden age of gaming. Maybe I'm just becoming an old curmudgeon, but the industry seems to be circling the drain the last few years, despite all technological advances. There are some rare gems of course, and maybe we'll have a couple this year (BG3 and Starfield). I'm willing to overlook the woke nonsense if the games are actually good.

I was referring to "sex change surgery", but yeah, you're right too.

You must've hated the Cyberpunk character creator then

I read from interesting about Baldur's Gate 2 and there was a gay character. This is fine. When out of 5 initial characters 2 are already gay - it's strange.

They're not gay. They're player-sexual.
Learn the difference.

Yeah, I'd probably judge it a bit now,. unless it were a game really going for a realistic historical setting or specific mythological feel or something.

But I'd still play it if it was a good game.

Sorry but you're the only participant here. I'm sure there are some who know the answer here already but weather they want to join in or not is up to them.

No one coming to save you? :( Why are you suggesting a game to play and then refusing to play? It is some nice weather, though.

....none of the companions are gay?

Also nobody was gay in Baldur's Gate 2, I believe. Until the EE.
