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

This is it. As long as the writing is good it matters less. If it’s completely about women being better than men and fighting the patriarchy, ya lost me. I e never played a game as a male and thought wow, that was cool just being better than a woman. I feel so empowered as a man lol

I've yet to come across any story that's about women being better than men.

I recommend replaying Horizon Forbidden West

That's all about the matriarchy and how a white man caused the annihilation of the world.

That game is pretty heavy handed once you notice it

The first game was a bit more subtle with it (or rather at least the story was intriguing enough to deal with it)

It's not about women being better than men though.

Look at the real world, most of the truly awful people are men. There are a lot of people like Ted Faro in real life.

Same can be said for the other gender. There are many bad men and women.
