Its just a very small, usually very young, group that really makes a fuss about pronouns or gendered language. And while it is not a big deal for a new game that could possibly incorporate it into the code a lot easier, not everything can be altered, after the fact, for the handful of ppl whose entire identity revolves around how they are addressed.

    If they would want to add it as an option, I would have no issues. But it is way to potentially big and we would most definitely lose content over it, which imo is way more important.
    Agree 1000%. It seems like a lot of the time, people asking for representation aren’t even a part of the group they’re asking representation for(not saying it’s 100% of the time, just from my experience). It’s just kind of irritating to me because it’s like, i’m gay. Would a gay main character be cool? Sure! Am i begging for it to be added? No. Because usually when that happens their whole personality revolves around being that sexuality. Anyways though in regards to this again, i don’t think it’s necessary. It’s fantasy for a reason, you can play someone you’re not. If it’s not your cup of tea then you can move onto other games.

    Right its like Dragon Age 2 where if you don't choose to be gay you get the bad red points rather than the good blue points. It's weird. As opposed to a game like Jade Empire, where you would not know there is a gay option unless you answered questions in a certain order and you did not get good or bad points but just 'spoke' or rather choose the dialogue that best fits you.

    You can tell when someone's politics is in your face in a game, it's pretty obvious, but when something happens naturally its a beautiful thing.

    Jade Empire did such a lovely job making it so the option was there, but it was not pushed to you as opposed to Dragon Age 2 which literally had multiple characters sexually harassing you the entire game.
