Female protaganist is a waste of time

[strandd505]

the people who ask for this dont even care they just want their way..Is there about to be a big spike in purchases cabeuse you can pick a girl?? no there wont be a spike at all. if the pc was a girl to start i wouldnt care either. They made it one gender back then because it doesnt matter but now we must pander to the dumbest stuff...Certain people dont wanna be called racists and bigots anymore so now we let it all go through, to everyone detriment..

this is exactly what shodan would do to sow unrest

Not to mention feeling the need to make the thread to begin with.

Exactly. Imagine if he was really angry. It's already said that System Shock is SBI, WOKE and all that nonsense typical of these people.

The addition of the female protaganist is literally what caused me to buy the game right now. And I played the original.

It's optional.
Discussion over.

Zero to do with inclusion or representation. More character options are always a win for me.
Female option gives me an opportunity to see something a little different than the original time I played it.

Still not as good as System Shock 2's character creation system, with different military careers and whatnot.

That is what shodan wants.

Typically I strongly object to any signs of identity politics or intersectionality and will treat everyone on an individual basis according to my observations and more importantly, dependent on how they treat me. I also can't stand it if devs include diversity for divesity's sake at the cost of the authenticity of a setting.
That said, the simple inclusion of a female player option does nothing of the sort, so I strongly approve this addition to the game.

there are principalities involved in this with me smokedogg. I love women like a fat kid loves cake but i just dont get it in this circumstance, since the pc doesnt speak and you really dont see them.

Now if they put some machine gun jubblys on her then id be down, but no, no i dont get what i want

They made more female shaped armes and hands and added some nail polish as well. It's included for women who want to play as women - not for you to look at jugs.
The original concept, feel and fiction are still intact, nothing was lost, things were added without breaking with the original in any way, shape or form which is how you do diversity right, imo.

I had planned on getting the game eventually, this was just a big plus.

While she/he doesn't speak, between this and the demo they also changed the vocalization when the protagonist gets hurt.
It's been a few years since I've played the original, so I don't remember if the protagonist had grunts in that version.

Im not really mad. If this was a one thing but its not its everywhere this dumb stuff. its in the kickstarter goals because they knew some blue haired ♥♥♥♥ would ask " in a game where the pc doesnt speak and is barely seen can we play as a girl" Its a stupid goal in a game like this

Aren't you mad?
Created a thread just to cry about something optional that you don't even need to look at. Why all this hate towards women, comrade? I'm 43 years old, I grew up liking women and having a great education from my mother (a woman), but it seems that the younger generation has serious problems in this regard. Is it natural birth control?

Why all this hate towards strandd505, compatriot? I'm 69 years old, I grew up liking robots and having a great education from my mother (a man), but it seems that the older generation will still flip a lid over a random thread. Is not getting with babes to begin with natural birth control?

I think that if the difference of "female shaped"(?) limbs and nail polish is all it takes to make me feel like a "woman", couldn't I have already felt like I was already playing as one before? I think that's the biggest point here. Male/Female just being a toggle between nail polish on or off is not a headline feature for an update

I think this is a weird mindset to have. I've played games with male, female, alien and robot protagonists and never thought "you know, this game is cool and all, but if they had different genitals I would really be into it"
