can we play as other monkey species as well?

[falafel]

I've been greatly enjoying the game so far, the visuals are fantastic and I love the animations.
However i'm getting slightly tired of always playing as the same character.
So here's my suggestion: more monkey species? That way we could maybe have bonobos and orangutans as unlockable species as you progress through the game...
your thoughts?

A game about Goku/Voyage to The West and you expect to play as another character?

im not sure what that is but this is a chinese fantasy game... there is more than one type of person/character in china and I lived there so i have actual experience. Chinese mmos/gachas have lots of different characters not sure why this game cant have it too

lmao

ok well i just skimmed through your link and it doesnt say what species wukon was so it could be an orangutan or a gorilla or etc. and not sure how this stops us from being able to choose wukons species/have multiple characters. it seems more like lazy game design but ok....

how is lazy design that you play as the protagonist of the story?? Is it lazy design you play as Geralt in The Witcher. The looks of Wukong have been coded for long time in ancient illustrations, anime series and live tv/movies, as you can see here:

Sorry but that link looks sketchy. And not sure why ancient illustrations matter today we live in an more inclusive society so there can be different representations!!!! whether you like it or not!!!!

being close minded is not a virtue - i recommend to look at games where you can play several characters such as brawlstars even though its mobile game there are many characters with didferent genders, race, etc. abilities and simply design. No matter how you spin it it was a mistake to have wukon only as one monkey type. but appreciate your responses

This is the weirdest comment ever lol. Thats like playing Tomb Raider and saying year I'm tired of playing the main character. Man you will not believe what gaming used to be like back in the day. lol

Sketchy lol
You could have said in the beginning what this was about, I would have avoided to waste time passing you information you lack but aren't interested in because you only care about DEI in a game set in 15th century china. Have a nice night

No, I'm afraid you haven't made a compelling argument, there are strengths in following a single established character and focusing on their story and their victories and defeats, you can have multiple established characters too that you control but the more characters you have the more expensive a game gets.

There is value in blank slates too, like in Morrowind, Dragon Age, Baldurs Gate, specially for played immersion and inhabitating that world.

But there isn't an universal better way to make a game, it depends on your goals.

This game wanted to tell a particular story and the devs made the best choice regarding the player character to further that goal.


Edit - This also has nothing to do with close mindedness, the people in question you were arguing doesn't seem to be against multiple characters or blank slates if it fits the game.

Being an idiot is not a virtue either.
Ancient illustrations matter because they set the lore for the "Journey to the West" story, and the devs were set on building their game inside those boundaries.
And that's ok.
Your - and others - mindless push towards "representation, race, gender" in absolutely every game is distilled idiocy.

“and thats ok” no its not ok. more monkey species would serve both gameplay purposes (variety of characters = freshness) and also improve inclusivity without harming the lore of the game. but i digress. People like you simply dont learn - sad to say, but true.

fyi youve been reported to steam for harassment/discrimination so enjoy your coming ban
