Don’t have time for you types of people.

Well enjoy the victim mentality

Really “bigger man” who needs to make a post like that lol

If you played other games than WoW you would see that specifically adding these things to just tick boxes does destroy the game.

Look at Last of Us Part2 and Mass Effect Andromeda.

Uhuh, adding a gay person killed those games

Not the fact andromada was made by a team with no real experience and the game was basically a rush job

But sure, the big scary gay people destroy everything

I had absolutely no qualms with ME:A other than the lack of proper development for the RPG aspects of the game. Everything else was very well off, in my very honest opinion, especially and including character-to-NPC interaction (discounting the lack of visual expression in most characters.)

They focused on that stuff which is what killed the games. They never actually thought “Is this fun” because they didn’t care they were pushing their political beliefs and made the games unfun.

Forcing this crap into the games doesn’t make a game fun it just makes people upset about stuff being stuffed down their throat.

That’s just entitlement plain and simple

That’s cool

I’m sure having straight relations in a game doesn’t ruin it

But anything else will ruin it cuz they gotta focus on that and therefore a bad game

Also gay people existing isn’t a political thing, and if you think that it means you are legitimately stupid

Pointing out where you are coming from perspective wise AND believing that traits you are born with aren’t that interesting when driving a story are both valid, just because you disagree with me doesnt make me a “troll” it just means we disagree

Because Blizz is either pandering, or scared of the blowback, or both.

Maybe the I production of a new main character that helps us out. You meet him at the tavern, and he doesn’t check out the “voluptuous” bar maiden, but later he sees a soldier walk by and gives him a second look. All of this would be a voice acted cutscene. Maybe have the soldier die later, and have the new guy be at his side as he passes in the battlefield.

If the writers could think of organic situations like that, things would be easier. It isn’t aggressive, while still getting the point across. After playing D3 for the first time, and calling every “twist” those writers came up with, I have very little confidence in what passes for good writing over there.

Downside is people are still gunna call that forced or pandering

I don’t mind if a game has gay characters in it.

People made a huge deal about Pelagos or however his name is spelt. I personally don’t give a damn. Why don’t I care that he’s trans? Because it wasn’t shoved down my throat I had to go through additional dialog to find out.

When people push for this type of crap they want it forced down people’s throat they don’t want subtly they want it to basically be “I’M GAY AND GODLY!”

How’s that Show Batwoman doing? Is that the kinda show you were talking about? Wanna know why there are no movies with those types of characters? Because it doesn’t bring in the money, wanna know why that is? Because no one cares or wants to see it.

If they did, then most the woke/LGBT crap would blow up, but it doesn’t instead it all flops and fails. Since you people want it so bad and there are OH SO MANY of you, then why have these shows/movies/games not blown up in any good way?

Keep pretending to be a tolerant group of people all you want, you are no better than anyone else. Time you all realize it.

So you don’t care about gay people existing in a game as long as you never have to see or hear about it?

Do you get annoyed at games where the main character has story based on being in a straight relationship, or just when it’s anything but straight?

They just move the red line. Once you get to said red line, they just move it. Its never enough because being a victim is a full time job and one that last forever. Better luck changing a wall’s mind than these people.

I get annoyed with crap being forced down your throat. Straight or gay it doesn’t matter.

You know what game had a gay character that was great? Dragon Quest 11, Sylvando was gay but he had a personality outside of just “I’m gay”. Games that add characters that just tick boxes don’t have a personality.

Epic cringe my dude 7/10 too much water.

Agreed, be a part of the story, don’t be the story

Did you know that the margrave of the house of rituals is either a lesbian or bi?
Probably not cuz it just was shown during one of the quests and never really mentioned again, I liked that one

I mean, that is true but he was also the gayest man of all time

I dunno it really depends on how it’s done, like if a random side character happens to be gay it won’t change the story much but it does just check a box as well, it’s a weird thing

Theres posts asking for straight tabards?
