This looks pretty awesome. Open galaxy rpg with 1000 worlds to explore in your spaceship that you can get out of. From the creators of Skyrim and the recent fallout games.
Now, it’ll be 5 or 10 years before I have anywhere near the free time needed to actually play it, but, it comes out next week. Hoping to vicariously enjoy it through others for now.
(Mods feel free to move if there’s a better area)
I think this is a good enough spot.
“Games” might’ve been an alternate landing spot (instead of General), but I think that many focus on actively participating games rather than general discussion.
We can see how the topic fleshes out with others’ posts before making any moves.
Looks interesting and there’s a good chance I buy, depending on post-release reviews. Been trying not to spoil it too much for myself though.
Given it’s a Bethesda game on a new engine, I’ll be curious to see if it’s full of bugs or if the new engine resulted in a polished game.
Lol I didn’t realize it’s only for PC and Xbox? Unlikely to download it on PC. If ported to PS5, probably will buy.
I got Baldur’s Gate after seeing all the positive reviews. Had never played D&D but it’s a fun game. Lots of choices that impact things.
I recently bought BG3 and am playing now. Not too many hours in yet, but I am enjoying it.
I will probably get Starfield later. They’ll probably have worked most of the bugs out by the time I get around to it.
I’ll wait on more reviews. I love games and play them constantly, but usually the bigger a game is the less shits I have to give.
Congratulations?
Conservatives mad players are allowed to choose they/them pronouns.
So if someone who’s a cis-gendered male IRL plays an ostensibly female character, is he expected to select “he/him” pronouns? Or is that not how it works?
No, I think you could do that, but it would be unusual and unexpected. The idea is you are picking pronouns for the character, not for yourself.
It’s just that some people (I assume mostly non-binary people) want to play non-binary characters.
In any case it’s a dumb thing to throw a fit over, as it’s just one more option in a huge array of options.
Thanks. Still trying to understand here. Is it like Anarchy Online, where the Atrox breed is defined to be asexual? Or is it that some of the skins/body shapes are purposely designed not to look distinctively male or female?
I haven’t played, but my impression is that they are just being gender-inclusive for the players.
Standard human character creator. There is basically male/female body options at the start but you can customize face and body pretty much however you want.
Then at the end of character creation you name the character and choose between He/Him; She/Her, and They/Them for a pronoun and that’s how other NPCs will refer to the player.
Starfield is low stakes, in BG3 you can literally be post-op transgender not to mention decide on circumcision. People are desperate for something to be upset about… if you don’t want to be a transgender character then don’t select a transgender character…
I haven’t played an MMORPG in several years, so apologies on not knowing what is “standard” nowadays. The system you describe sounds more flexible than what I am used to.
A disappointingly large group of folks are concerned about liberal game developers grooming teh kids to be non-cisgendered/non-heterosexual.
I disagree with them and hate their bias, but I can see that given their bigotry…er, “concerns”…it makes sense to criticize those who seek to promote acceptance of deviance from their prescribed norms.
Do I want to know why they need to go into that level of detail for character creation?
There is some sex in BG3. Not nearly enough to warrant that level of detail though, afaik.
Creating my character and my wife walks by and I ask her if I should be circumcised or uncircumcised sure felt like a worthwhile inclusion
But yes, haven’t actually seen the nether regions since the character creation
