A question about the characters

[Alessio]

Normally i wouldnt give a ♥♥♥♥ in the first place, but i HAVE to ask due to the current political climate and reading in a review that this, otherwise interesting game, is made by a swedish company (Sweden, Yes!): is it intentional that the heroes are a woman and a black guy, while the madman and the villain are white middle aged dudes? I am sorry that i even have to ask, but....

The writer intentionally created as diverse a cast for the game as possible (tricky with only four main characters, but still), with the only white man in the game also being the only character you never play as.

It wasn't intended as a political statement of any kind, just an attempt to have the characters on-screen be more diverse than many other games.

I don't think its meant to be any kind of statement at all. I think this is just the story the guys wanted to tell.

[Mandrake42]

Adventure games generally have more diverse casts anyway to be honest, it's just par for the course.

Um... yeah. I couldn't enjoy this game if I couldn't get my White Privilege on. :( Could have easily made the senator anything but white and not made *anyone* mad. (sigh) But what do expect when the story starts with discredited AGW as the trigger for Armageddon?
