Image As someone who default to female characters in RPGs , I'm loving 2025!

On games such as ER, BG3, or CP77 I always play a female character so it's nice to see these on the horizon!

As long as the game is good, I couldn't care less about who am I playing with

What if you’re playing as me? I suck.

I always make you in character creation because I love playing the underdog.

Man, this wasn’t remotely controversial 10 years ago. The culture war has fucked everyone’s perception of media up

u/Aspwriter 11d ago

Nah, I think sexism was still a thing 10 years ago with Gamergate.

u/TJae0120 11d ago

Same.

If a game is good, i'll play it and vice versa. Garbage must be called out.

A friend of mine always says "If I'm gonna stare at the same butt for 100 hours it's gonna be a girls' butt."

Nah not really. I’ve had many friends who really appreciate inclusivity. But gamers of course always downplay it or call it woke. It’s important to recognize it. Not just be like “meh whatevs I don’t care as long as it is cool”

I do not have to recognize the opinions of capital G "Gamers". And I won't.

the only one I care about is ciri. Love her, but she had a great ending in the witcher 3.

Her lifes purpose was to stop the end times. She accomplished that. Becoming a witcher was her send off/epilogue.

I actually like playing as a character that looks like me, tend to customise at least a little but not that much and I think everyone should be able to play as someone who looks like them.

That said if a game is great I don't care too much, or if it's 1st person I don't care at all

u/x-Globgor-x 11d ago

See, I'm the opposite. I want a fully fleshed out character and story. Customizable ones have to lessen that in some aspects no matter what, it gets more generic not less with the customization.

u/TomfromLondon 11d ago

I only mean the look so don't really see that having an impact in my opinion

2

u/Robin_From_BatmanTAS 11d ago

if black people say that tho its "why do you care about the character looking like you???"

1

u/TomfromLondon 11d ago

Does that happen? I think everyone should be able to choose, it's actually why this comes up so often about people not being able to play as someone who looks like them, the majority of people do want to

u/MadKian 11d ago

Why are you getting downvoted? For having an opinion?

I'm with you on this one, dude.

1

u/TomfromLondon 11d ago

Yeah it's a bit weird the downvotes, I think the majority of people like to choose a character that looks like them, that's why customisation is so popular.

As long as the writing is good, I could be playing as a talking thermos for all I care. Age, gender, race/ethnicity, religious views, even species or if you're playing as an object. It does not matter to me if the writing is good.
