PC Moddable to fix censorship

[markelphoenix]

Anyone know how moddable it is?

[gryphonv]

I find this laughable,

'Oh no their costumes slightly changed and they changed male/female to A/B. '

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

I think this is running on Unreal Engine, so it will easily be moddable. Just not on Nexus, they took a stance against mods like that. I believe basedmods is the place to go for removing DEI stuff.

There's a sprite artist interested on modding it. I will wait and see if he manages to assemble a team. He made a thread here 1 or 2 months ago.

あなたのキャラの
スタイルを　選択（せんたく）してください
Please select your character style.

then the top part reads ルックスA　or ルックスB　

Look A ＞＞ Look B

A depicts a masculine looking character and B is more feminine.

So even if you were to like mod the game you would be playing around your own head cannon.

Not here to argue but I'm trying to figure out what the hell people are even talking about. What exactly is censored here? Both versions are going to be nearly identical aside from localization changes that you wouldn't be able to grasp anyway.

If it's not a big deal to change the costumes, it's not a big deal to mod them back. If it IS a big deal to change the costumes, then it becomes an argument about which side is correct rather than a scenario where one side can simply be dismissed offhand. Saying "Who cares, it's just a costume" etc it deeply intellectually dishonest.

Should we do this for the previous 4 games as well?

They have used other symbols in place of cross in other DQ games,

DQ9 Priest was a sort of 3 point branch.

I don't recall any uproar then.

Hopefully Trump can save us from this liberal fascist censorship. I don't like Trump, but lets be real why is religious imagery bad in a game? Why is booba bad in a game? Nothing should be bad in a work of art since it is meant to be enjoyed by the audience it targets.

There's more than that but I'll let you look it up.
If it's just a "molehill" then why censor it in the first place?

I think the word censorship is very overused. Companies make products to sell. They (the business people, the artists, the programmers, etc.) all design those products with the market in mind. Its their choice to modify the product how they see fit. They didn't have to do this; they chose to. That's not censorship.

And you might argue that its still censorship because some of the developers don't want to make this change, that the director doesn't want to make this change. But that argument doesn't really make a lot of sense because developing a game is not a matter of one person (at least in this case). Its collaborative process that involves negotiating and comprising with all sorts of people both on the development side and business side.

For example, if in the process of developing a game, before it is even announced, an artist wants the main character to be in a thong, but the director disagree because it doesn't align with his vision, so he makes the artist make a different design, is that censorship? What if the director wants to make a change, but the programmers disagree and convince him otherwise, is that censorship? This is not censorship. Its negotiations between all parties trying to figure out how to make a product that will satisfy most people.

They care more about this censorship stuff than the fact that we have a Dragon Quest 3 remake and it's even releasing on Steam instead of only Switch.

Nobody plays Dragon Quest because there's a cross on the priest clothes, or because of a cleavage on the female warrior design etc...

Mod or not you are giving your money to woke garb company

Give them an inch, they take a mile. Just look at Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

First paragraph is a complete lie. They are TOLD by localization teams and American sides of their company that censorship is what the country wants. They lie through their teeth and tell Japan that this is what AMERICANS want from their games. So no... this isn't the business people deciding with the market in mind. This is plain and simple them being tricked into doing something we don't actually want.

They don’t understand such a basic reasoning
Hopeful wokism is collapsing
But I will not fund this game to make them think otherwise. :)

They chose « modern » audience (which does not exist) ? Then they face the consequences
