Even without Denuvo, with Unreal Engine, any chance of modding anything significant is zilch

Why? Shouldn't having a well documented engine with its source available make modding easier rather than harder?

But maybe something like culling the list of NPC presets available to the game is doable.
Ah yes, looking forward to the "era appropriate mod" which changes the majority of non-white characters to white (which frankly would be the case for Britain in the 1800's), and the complete butthurt that will cause.

You need paid license of Unreal to actually meddle with the files as I understand.

Unity on the other hand can inject stuff through .dll which is why most Unity games are pretty moddable.

IGN's "Unfortunately it's all happening at the exact moment the world is reconsidering their life long ties to one of the greatest story ever told.."
u-huh

then months later it will be something like this:
"The game sold only 20 million copies, we're 8 billion on the Earth, this means 7,9 billions people hate JKR!"

Agreed. Remember the butthurt with "Talk like a Medieval Woman" from Bannerlord?

That would cause 10x more butthurt among SJWs.

The what now?

The women in Bannerlord speak in a brutish manner not fitting with the times. They speak in a modern way about things concerning a modern feminist.

Here is the mod authors reason.

Here are some pics of the offending dialogue.

Doesn't seem too far out from warband companion dialogue, I think.
Yeah. It's typical mordern language in a game set in a medievalistic time period. It is not supposed to accurately reflect The Times at all, so complaining about "women speaking in brutish manner not fitting with the times" is weird.

Sure, it would be cool to have a slight dialogue stylization (akin to Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption), but let's not seek an agenda where there ain't one. I mean, I don't think the Turks can be accussed of being particular enthusiasts of political correctness. The story of a woman disguising herself as a man isn't in any way different from Eowyn.

It's low-brow, childish, and ruins a game, book or film for me just as easily as homosexuals or gratuitous negros. This didn't used to be a problem, both because vastly more (that is to say, any at all) effort was made and because language has fallen further in the last 30 years than in the last 200.

What is this, Harry Potter actually triggering millennial soyboy resetera faggots, instead of appeasing them?

Well, well, well. How the turntables.

Nah it has been years now, more or less since the end of Harry Potter books that JK Rowling has been know as anti-trans and thus SJW has been seething against her and her works. Her next book after Harry Potter (under different name but everybody knows its her) is about some gender confused guy/girl (cant remember) being a serial killer. That was early to mid 2010s iirc.

But with trans agenda being very fucking loud the past 2 - 3 years, so has been the push against her works.

Note that Rowling has been pretty pro LGB before and was praised for it (even Twitter retconing lot of people to be gay) but just because she is against trans agenda and the whole gender identity shit, she is now literally Hitler in their eyes.

In the past, Christians hated HP by it being "demoniac" and encouraging sorcery. Now wokies hate HP by it being "problematic" and encouraging transphobia. Same dogmatism.
