I’m talking 80s/90s casting rules because I know a Skyrim movie today would be a black or Hispanic female protagonist. But I’d love to see a legit Skyrim adaptation, or a long series about the Dwemer.

Enderal would be like a different game, on Steam at least it shows as a different game since is a total conversion. It should not mess with the main game. It only has one option for a girl romance but it is done well compared to modern games, you get to actually form a connection and is very consequential to the story while not being mandatory at the same time. Unlike in Kingmaker where you save a married couple from slavers, they were in a cage and then both of them, individually, want to sleep with you if you talk to them twice while their spouse is in the party. Or in Pillars of eternity 2 where you have about 50% chance that when ever you travel with the ship that a companion wants to butt fuck you.
Sorry for the rant :) I'm a fan of CRPGs and I was very disappointed in those games
CRPG? I’m intrigued
Is a term that technically just means computer role playing games but it is used for RPGs like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights (I recommend playing NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer - is one of the best stories in a game), KOTOR, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity: Original Sin and unfortunately Pathfinder: Kingmaker - nice game but the modern day dialogue, bugs and woke themes ruined it for me.
Kingmaker sounds like a fun game. How did it go woke? Girl power? I’ll check those other games out
Is not very woke, definitely not by todays standards. Part of it was the companions. Except for the bard all women were girl bosses while the men were pathetic, there is a guy that joins later but it still in your face gender role swap. Early on you will notice that you go and rescue the companions and all the men need rescuing while the women all handled it themselves.
And while it does explain it in game to a satisfactory degree you have I think 3 out of 5 women companions having a backstory of I'm a girl and that is bad and patriarchy or feminist ideals of beauty keeping me from being my true self - also better then all men because reasons.
Then the fact that does not matter that you play as a guy you will have dudes just hit on you for no reason in normal conversation, no one talks like that in real life but I'm to assume that medieval fantasy has that?
In fact most characters have been incredibly unlikable to the point I gave up on them and hired mercenaries.
Also is hard to notice that despite giving scenarios of women being oppressed, ok written in the context. is hard to believe them in a world where more then half of people in charge are women.
And while not woke, the dialogue was very modern for a fantasy game, not sure when it was decided is ok for a fantasy dialogue to be modern day California. I know the last one has become the norm but it used to be that fantasy at least tried to portray a more medieval dialect.
I also did not care about anything in the world, nothing was interesting or immersive for me.
