Avowed character creation has pronouns - Elon Musk disapproves, Obsidian art director disapproves of his disapproval

[Alienman]

I'm doing my duty spreading that Josh Sawyer, the Reddit favorite dev, actually retweeted that.

No pronouns bs in the EA version but then boom - it appears in the release one.

They patched it into the EA version about a year before release, the queers had a celebration over it https://gaymingmag.com/2022/12/baldurs-gate-3-adds-non-binary-option/

Are you just being deliberately obtuse? Having an "other" option for gender is not "having pronouns in chargen." The former is allowing a fringe group an option to represent themselves in some way, the latter is attempting to drag everyone else into your bullshit. I'm not "he/him," I'm male. It's also just infuriating grammatically to have "he/him" on a fucking character sheet where that part of speech is not and was never meant to go.

The bluesky post?

Wow this game went really fast from "eh, uninteresting, middling" to a woke trainwreck. Kudos to that deranged, lumberjack impersonating cuck of a art director

Matt Hansen's rants about gamers, owning the chuds, Musk are telling you exactly what turn will Obsidian take with Avowed.

 

[Morgoth]

Fucking NPCs already latching on to Musk's grift. Pathetic.

That art director is working hard on having his game crash and burn before it even launches. Seriously, if he had just shut his mouth instead of letting his brainrot assume control, no one outside places like here would've given a shit.

Instead, the Steam front looks like this since the users have turd-tagged the game after this dude's meltdown.

edit: did you get offended by my language, Morgoth? Or do you seriously believe that the art director's response will accomplish anything besides damaging the reception of the game?

No, the anti-white thing.

You guys ever think about the absurdity of the world's richest man spending his free time shitposting on RPGs?

How about some dude poking the world's richest man on social media, only to get noticed and have his boss's boss's boss brought in on the conversation.

What is this world?

 

[Morgoth]

This trend of right-wing grifters starting culture war crap and then blaming it on devs is really getting out of hand.

[frajaq]

They are attacking the Avowed reddit too, it's over...

> doesn't want to be preached at.

If a couple words on a screen is what counts as "preaching" then we're not even having a serious conversation. You're just looking for something to be miserable about.

extremist and divisive elements

Divisive elements such as, *checks notes*, fucking animals wasn't enough to stop people from buying BG3. I guess we'll see whether the same is true of Avowed. (Who knows, maybe you can fuck animals in Avowed).

I do agree the Art Director should be replaced. Saying that stuff about race and intentionally harming your employer should be grounds for termination.

Elon Musk is teaching the world what it's like to be a true moderate centrist. I hope one day you grow out of your edgy extremism and become a moderate like Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

NWN2's MotB

RTwP - instant no

So is KotOR2 tho.

KOTOR2 is more like action RPG, no?

Combat is nothing to write home about. It's not TOEE, let's put it that way.
If you are planning on playing the game, then be ready for A LOT of dialogue (since this is a Chris Avellone game after all).
Great story and setting though.

Combat is nothing to write home about.

Also broken very easily, like a biscuit under an elephant.

 

[Reinhardt]

also it's star wars - i.e. shit about men in pajamas fighting each other with dildos.

Aren't the activists among the devs starting it?

Why can't Vavra just give this man a damn job?

I think there is a lot of grifting on the right but the aggression and intrusion has been almost entirely on the part of the left for a solid decade now. With it, lowered quality.

Anybody know how I can retrodate an email sent to careers@obsidian.com?

Uh, sent today.

Most either agree or wonder what he's talking about. And then we have specimens like this.
