I’ll probably get it around thanksgiving. I was watching the HeelzvsBabyface livestream that got so much attention. I avoided arguing with the trolls in his comment section otherwise I’d still be on there with the people who said everyone has pronouns or that pronouns are welcoming.
I know some say to just roll your eyes and continue but this acknowledgment of a tiny percentage of delusional people is beyond idiotic.
I’ve also heard that they really hammer THE MESSAGE and there is the usual “representation”
I feel kinda bad because I know there are female gamers and I have some nieces who play games (granted they are games you would expect girls to play) but this almost decade long push for more women in gaming is beyond annoying. As well as the “everything has to appeal to everyone” marketing idea.
Like I said I’ll probably buy it around thanksgiving and there will be cool mods I’d imagine. I’m still playing heavily modded Skyrim and can’t wait for the oblivion mod.
Next up is Elder Scrolls 6
It's nice that you brought up the "rated T" aspect. I've seen the hints of that in other videos and reviews, but among all the complaints people have nobody seems to care about that one. It gives of the feel of a focus-group-driven, sanitized - I don't want to say kid friendly but what passes for kid friendly today - corporate product. Like a PG13 Disney movie made for teens.
I know it was a different company but this is such a far cry from the original Fallout games made in the fucking 1990s which were full of (2D) ultra-violence, sex, slavery, and bad language. Come to think of it, even Fallout 3 contained more racy content than this. Is this what "your game on ESG" looks like?
Yeah... they didnt take many risks making this game in terms of story/content. Its all very vanilla and non personal. Dont think there is anything remotely offensive, like they ran the story and dialogue through the ethics department dozens of time.
Its basically a marvel movie script where you can decide to be good or evil. And if you choose evil, its just not too evil lol.
