Problem with wokeness

[type-1]

In the original game you picked between male or female. Depending on your choice it would impact your stats. Male got +10 points to strength, female got +10 points to wisdom or something along those lines for example.

In the remaster you now don't pick male or female it is now a choice between body type 1 or body type 2. This choice does not affect your stats so either body type you pick stats don't change.

However what they did was when you pick a race each race has two backgrounds and these replace the original stat changes that came from the male and female choice. However not only does the background impact your stats like the male and female choice did in the first game it also sets your characters voice to use either the male and female voice. So effectively what they did was just disguise the male/female choice by relabeling it as character background choice instead.

What this means is that you can unwittingly choose a background that gives you the stat adjustment and voice of a women, but then pick the body type for a man and end up accidentally assigning yourself a female identity even though you thought you were picking the male character option.

Great bug to add just so that you can avoid having male and female in your character creator. Let's see how long this takes to patch out. Could have been avoided if they just left the code as is from the OG but then about five people on twitter would try boycott the game.

They actually removed gender based stats. It's based on a selected origin that you pick instead now. Every race gets two origin options to pick from that describe a region that they came from in their homeland. This determines the stats that would of been gender based.

Also background does not effect your character's voice lol.

I actually bothered to read your post.
I made a female skooma rug, but picked Anequina as the origin. Her voice is deep, and gruff, but still obviously feminine in pitch. Maybe you're onto something, but I dunno.

I'll probably cop flak for this but i prefer the new version better, for game mechanics this is better and you are not pigeon holed into a gender anymore right from the start.. You can player either..

Not woke to me just better game design.

You are allowed your opinions and I genuinely hope you enjoy. I do not share them, but eh...

Didn't play this game much and even then it was maybe 15-20 years ago, didn't know about this difference in stats between genders.

This is even more stupid than I thought but it won't prevent me from enjoying the game.

Seems like it wasn't perfect in the original either, +10 strength for men ok, makes sense, +10 wisdom for women doesn't make any sense though, if anything it should have been -10 in wisdom, then choosing to play as a woman would have been a disadvantage but in the long run it doesn't really matter.

Edit : there's not even wisdom as a stat, you meant intelligence maybe ?
But yeah wouldn't make any sense either, maybe a bonus in personality to reflect their tendancy to lie or manipulate people would have been more accurate.

Each to their own.. There have been a lot of fixes in this version in my opinion, i honestly don't believe that change was to promote ideologies just better game design.

Your tears are giving us power to become more woke.

Cope and seethe you read every word of it you just can't defend such a silly bug being added to the game for such a silly reason but you still couldn't leave without trying so you're going to pretend you didn't read it and aren't upset by it. 😂
