The Witcher 3 and Mass Effect Andromeda thread

We have no idea of the context of the scene or what the hell the game is about at all (it kind looks a little like a Blade Runner rpg game, which is great if that's what we get).  It could be pornagraphic crap, but given the studios track record I would doubt it. Sexuality in games is fine, as long as it is handled well.

I don't think there should be a quota for stuff like that.  With that said, I can see how it would be offensive.  Though I don't think it was intentional, it can give the impression of sending a message that gays deserve to die, for lack of a better description.  Both those characters had something coming to them, they were vilians, but it just so happens that they're the only gay people in the game too, I think, and that just exacerbates it.  I think people sharing their complaints with the devs and that they listened is good, but I'd rather not see them using a score card in the future because of it, if you know what I mean? Just be aware of how something can be interpreted in a bad way, and take that into account.  Which I guess that's what they did in TW3, I haven't played it yet. 

It's not that I haven't any hope for Cyberpunk 2077, it's that there's no anticipation for it. I know CDPR will do the game well, they're a great developer, but without nothing but a two year old teaser out there I'm not feeling anything for it.

But that trailer has style. My kind of style.

I guess this is where I should say such an opinion voids everything you say now, because of how foolish you are for liking something like that .

Sorry I was meaning to reply to the same guy as you. It does look nice.

If they stick close to the PnP lore, it is going to surpass any RPG out there. Also cannot wait for the more rabid fandom to come out an acusse them of being sjws or the new bioware.

Sadly, I agree. I liked Kylo Ren but that's all and even now I'm afraid that his character will only exist to be the main character's punching bag before she slaps a big fat S on her chest and fly away. 





You couldn't be more wrong. Geralt would usually do whatever it takes to lift a curse from someone who is afflicted rather than kill them, unlike Lambert who just kills.  Geralt can also have a great relationship with trolls and other monsters.  You can choose to let some monsters live, to the point where there is a rather poignant conversation about this in Blood and Wine.  Geralt also has many friends whom he has saved and fought besides throughout the years.  Geralt was even killed in the novels by a guy with a pitchfork because he was trying to stop a mob of humans and non humans from killing each other. He took care of Triss when she was sick and cleaned her up when she shat herself, saw Yennefer was an imperfect hunchback and still loved her.  

At least the main women in Geralt's life had a past and therefore the strong connection makes sense rather than punch the heart icon for "good banging".  And Shepard is the only BW protaganist to show any potential. The Warden is tossed in the trash, along with Hawke, and soon the Inquisitor and we'll be playing as new generic Thedas Hero #4. There is no room to build the type of love and friendships in Dragon Age that you see with Geralt and his friends and loved ones. 

And they tried way too hard for Ryder and pals. The characters barely know one another yet they're calling each other family. 

Ah, ok.  I haven't kept up with it.  About all I know of the game is what I read from Wikipedia a while back.

If it has the quality and attention to detail as their previous two games, it'll be a good one.  Yeah, it'll probably be another year before they start advertising it.     

No what I meant is that he was Henselt mage, so he followed his orders. And yes if they werent gay I would not care, that is the whole point with representation like you said above. There isnt only one straight character in that game. so anything that character does is not a representation of a group. The problem with having tokens is exactly that, it is dangerous to pass certain ideas about a group, especially with that level of violence. Personally I find it extremely offensive.

See, you are asking for special treatment for LGBT characters. You're ranking representation above characterization.
