Starfield Anti-Heteronormative just like Baldurs Gate 3

[Relámpago]

Pronouns where bad enough but when you dig into the relationships with each character in the game they will tell you about how they had dated Men and Women in the past.

Seems like RPG's these days want to erase "Hetero-normal Activity" Which is a Woke Agenda.

Major disappointment from Bethesda with the way things are going TES6 is not looking good. Rather stick to older games where I don't have to constantly have this stuff in my face.

Developers need to stop pandering and the woke need to back off with their nonsense such as these: https://friendspdx.org/news/dismantling-heteronormative-assumptions

Thanks for the informative post.

I had no idea that there was an agenda to remove heteronormative in this game.

why should I even paying attention to how my crush have relationship with their exboyfriend/exgirlfriend/exhumanfriend/exnonhumanfriend?
sounds wierd af

I think at this point nobody should have to worry about how woke these games are. Cause in the end it's only hurting the games themselves. And all that will be left is games that have no fun or entertainment value to them.

The golden age if gaming has long past and the industry itself will have to come to a crash. Unless some random company rises from out of no where and starts to be the tip of the spear by not making incredible games but dismantling agendas all together by taking video games back to their roots. And those roots are making video games for the pure sake of entertainment and not to cater towards a certain audience.

In the end they will just stew in their own feces.

Sounds based.

So you're mad because some character in the game had.... other relationships in their backstory?

Man people are so fragile these days.

The ability to fully customize my characters and how people refer to them, as well as NPCs depicted with their own agencies and histories before meeting me, which I can freely choose to romantically engage with or reject/ignore at my option (or even offend should I wish to roleplay that way,) exist in this sci-fi fantasy roleplaying game set centuries in the future. That this is somehow controversial or surprising to anyone continues to baffle me, but I will simply be playing my enjoyable video game.

You want to know the best solution to all of this garbage? STOP PUTTING SEX/SEXUAL OPTIONS IN RPGS period (♥♥♥♥ or hetero). This all started with sex scenes in mass effect and from there it just got worse and worse, to the point that people would trash a RPG if is lacked romance options

I personally don't play games to have "relationships" with not real characters and that was never a driving factor to get me to enjoy a game (I grew up with NES, SNES, SEGA, PS1...etc). I don't want every character telling me about their gay relationships, but also I don't want characters telling me about their straight relationships either. Just like in real life I prefer people to keep those personal details to themselves, because its no business of mine or anyone else, what a person does in their bedroom.

The best part about starfield is that I can play as a lone explorer and never have to experience either of those things. I don't even have to talk to certain companions if I don't want to.

The reason this stuff is happening is because of how overly sexualized and depraved society has gotten over these past few years. There is practically no modern movie/t.v show that does not have a sex scene thrown in for no reason (they are all practically softcore porn movies now) and now its getting into the gaming industry where every game (no matter the genre) needs to have some overly sexualized aspect to it.

I do agree though that BG3 is especially egregious with sexualizing EVERYTHING, to the point that its kind of disgusting, cringe, and weird. Luckily for me at least Starfield gives the play so much freedom that I don't have to even see or hear about these things, given they are even in the game.

So? These are new characters. This is different from making say Superman gay.

First assumption to associate this as my potential race is pretty racist and wrong. Then again wokeness is the most racist ideology in recent history.

baldurs gate is order of magnitude less woke then starfield.
