This is fascinating because I do keep a general eye on the market and there seems to be massive pushback happening from gamers who properly play these games. Normally there are more than a few fanbois out there who will defend DLCs to the death but it seems even the majority of gamers now have had enough of the DLC policies these studios follow. On top of that it seems elsewhere people are reporting on the shoddy releases coming out where they just don't run well.
For any NPCs throughout the game that have mentioned or hinted at being in a relationship, I think I've come across maybe 3 straight couples total compared to what feels like a dozen gay ones, and a 4th straight couple that breaks up in front of you for the woman to run off with her lesbian lover. At some point all this shit just feels flat out unbelievable, because in no way could the population sustain itself if 75% of the population was gay. This is including part of act 3 so far. This point has been souring my experience of the game more than anything else.
I've also come across a "female" shorty race (forget if dwarf, halfling, or gnome because I wasn't paying that much attention) with a beard and a female VA, but so far this is the only one, and they were basically a useless throwaway NPC.
Female shorty race NPC was probably a fuck up in their NPC generation or some kind of 'in joke' for the devs. I agree with you on the over representation and this cancer is everywhere. I mean, just on a local level I've seen RL ads where it's showing a white woman with a Muslim man and I actually burst out laughing driving past it because we all know the Muslim attitude towards western women especially. It's so fucking out of touch it's unbelievable and sometimes even with my experience I have to take a moment to process what's going through their heads they thought that made sense.
Sustainable population in fantasy settings with high mortality rates have not been taken in to account since they decided Skyrim having 50/50 male and female fighters. Now we just notice it more since while we are seeing 50/50 men/women in real world we do not have 75% gays - yet.
The lesbian/gay romance shit always breaks immersion for me, be it in games or movies or shows. In movies/shows they always have to make SURE you know they are gay/lesbian (either outright saying it within the first two lines or "showing" it).
