What's is the deal with all this questions about queers and women of color early in the game? I thought minorities wanted to be treated like equals to the ''rest of people'' , so why make big deal about having them or make questions about it?

Veronica and Arcade both worked really well and were well writting because they were actually character with cool backstories and personality beyong being ''QUEERS''. They being homosexuals was treated normaly , like normal people and only brought up if there's clearly a reason beyond ''HEY BTW I GAY, ISN'T ANORMAL/COOL that i like guys/girls instead of guys/girls???''. I saying this because i hate how people think is a big deal of having people colors/homosexuals in games.

I DAMN HOPE if this game has any homosexual character is actually treated as a normal person like Arcade , Christine and Veronica and not like a fucking big news like other games. Please Leonard and Tim..

You are missing the point, the point is:

I am a loser that barely have a job on a shitty make believe company that lives out of outrage clicks, I like to pretend I'm a real journalism but I'm a dude that talks about video games and people make fun of how irrelevant I am. Real journalists talk about "serious" problems so I pretend to talk about serious stuff too like "The inclusivity of minority virtual characters is pretty important because somehow some black person somewhere will have his fragile self-steem somehow affected by the number of black NPCs despite no evidence for that existing, of course, ignoring that probably 99% of blacks and wamen will ever play this game."

Yeah why doesn't Sailor Woedica have some advertisement plant sticker? Letting us know there is 'cute new outer worlds tees' is some cringe shit.

We would be more interested if there was some cute new TB combat or something

There have been plant tags given for free plants too.

Although if Infinitron doesn't get one then this shitty troll shouldn't either.

How long have you worked for Obsidian? If you are here to promote your products you should go for a less obvious approach, as such unabashed optimism won't work in your favour. Some people might find it dishonest as well, which it certainly is.

I'm just an optimistic girl, sis.

It's really strange. They should at least reveal a companion for GamesCon or put some new short gameplay trailer, it's pretty big event to avoid like that.

Eh.. Nothing new. Same demo as E3 , they could've at least showed the Edgewater stuff that looks way better and it's more varied than Monarch's brown color scheme. Also at 3:55 , this is google translator bot? I didn't heard this any other demo.

The first time i saw Piper at Diamond City bitching and moaning at the mayor i just walked away from her, never interacting with her throughout that playthrough. It was super satisfying just ignoring her outright while she tries so desperately to string you into her mess. I guarantee you at least one or two companions in this game (probably that Ellie butch) is going to try pulling off something like that. I might shoot her in the face if the opportunity is there in her case.
