If your point was to have a meaningful discussion that lets the developers know you want to see something better in the game, you've completely failed at it. I challenge you to be better than the posters who make topics calling the developers "fat twitter users", and the pathetic behavior of some posters who just post videos from random shows as replies. Be this smart, thoughtful voice of change you feel the forum needs.

Point taken, but in all honestly my main takeaway from LiS 2 was indeed Orange Man Bad. That may or may not have been the intention of the developers, but that's what I felt their intention was. They hit so many targets like religion, politics, race, police brutality, etc. in such a ham fisted way, that Orange Man Bad was truly how I felt the devs wanted me to feel by the end of the game.

That being said, a more descriptive OP would have been more constructive, but here we are. I'll give you that.

Made by DeckNine and not DontNod. Didn't find LIS:BTS shoving politics in your face, so I'd say there is hope. That said, Im cautious and will probably wait for some early reviews, though I am definitely rooting for Decknine.

Very true. D9 should probably take the reins on any (future) LiS games for that matter.

Seems pretty clear to me that DontNod is now focusing on being a queer cash grab company. Probably a good business model in today's world really. Never understood people that seem to only like LiS and BTS because you could lesbo romance. Lot more to the games than that.

The sexuality of the characters doesn't bother me at all, not a little bit. I'd love for this new game to capture the same awesome gaming experience of LiS1 and BTS. It was clear in LiS2 the political agenda was the first aspect of design in the game, which is a major part of the reason the game ended up as utter trash. I also don't think the moving around aspect helped in a game that needs strong recurring characters to succeed.

Yeah, like the cool mystery aspect in both games, for example. Where the hell was that in LiS2? Hopefully that returns in True Colors.
