I only have high hopes for the gameplay and exploration, the writing is obviously made-up on the spot and going to be Tumblr-tier. I also rewatched some parts of the gameplay video right now and I think people are jumping to conclusions about the vampire being gay. He says he tried to seduce the noble to bring him to his master, you don't need to be gay to do that.
God forbid the character is gay might make codexers uncomfortable.
the issue is they are all gay
It's not even clear at this point whether Astarion is gay as his reference to that man was in the context of luring a victim to drink blood.
Regardless however there are far more interesting parameters to judge character writing besides sexuality but of course if you are a raging neckbeard you might be afraid to catch the gays if you are playing a video game in close proximity to a fictional one.
yes there are, which is why making every character maybe gay, maybe not, is just getting played out and predictable- its not even risky anymore, its actually the safer move which is why they do it....
They also do it so that maybe fagots can pretend to maybe fuck some other character if they maybe meet them when they role play. They want to leave all options open, god forbid, somebody was a particular sexual preference. I grew up in san Francisco, caught the bus everyday day for school at castro and market for years and years. There is nothing I am going to learn or be afraid of about fagots from pretend fagots in a video game. Its just fucking tiresome is all.
I never said that shoehorning a character being gay, just for the sake of it, is good character writing. At the same time if a character happens to be so is not however in of itself indicitative of poor writing.
Far more important is the character's motives, personality and his overall place in the story presented.
The obsession to make every character gay/bi/whatever the latest social trend is equally bad as the obsession to make every character straight.
Claiming all characters are or will be is just unfounded hyperbole, you have nothing besides your sweaty fedora to prove that at this juncture.
In essence you are just a different kind of SJW but an SJW nonetheless.
