games

if they make me 50 faces to pick from

but I'd usually rather have a bunch of preset faces

i rather just do that

^^

yeah

i think theyre lying about the

diversity part

and realized sliders are a waste of time

theyre REALLY

pushing the diversity shit

and i think its mostly

SEO

and popularity

dont get me wrong

im certain since dos2 blew up, larian has a lot of new "super diverse" staff

D&D seems to be marketing mostly towards young women and LGBTs

in general

so it's not surprising

the definitivie editon of dos2 adding two lesbian couples in the SAME area

further proved to me that they definitely

had some hires

during the blowup

is bg3 going to have the game master mode

that DoS2 had

I mean, the famous post still exists

yeah i mean

i think playing the basic white guy is fine....?

like its actually the easiest and laziest thing to do yes but also like

it works?

even i

usually just do

I feel like, if you remove "human" as an option or rename human to something else

basic white guy

because its the easiest

its the same issue rob mentioned too

with urealms

and etc.

people rp more

even rob knew it

beacuse it's easy

Relatable

i mean

what would you make gent

would you actually

make an asian

Making an asian feels more like if I want to be funny about it for you guys

yeah see funny is different

making a grotesque creature is fun sometimes

I think you are right in general, but I don't think it's necessarily because "it's easy"

i do think part of it is easy

you dont need to think about it

just make it

you dont need to decide

most character creators have so many options that look bad, shitskins, long hair, beards, etc.

In general, you don't want to be something ugly for a game you put a lot of time into

that it railroads you into wanting to look "good" and all the most basic options tend to look vr solid

even if it's nothing special

Tragic that those devs are upset that their playerbase didn't try to make gay tumblr OCs

and humans in genral, feel like the jack-of-all trades playthrough

that 90% of people do

its also relatable imo

its a safe pick

I do think, something as simple as renaming human

makes people more likely to actually roleplay

rather than le self-insert ubermench

i dont know what an elf would act like or is, i dont know anything about dwarves

why would i be able to self insert or rp as them

i can just play chad thundercock

and waltz around as the grand hero

esp now

since you get 50 options to customize your thundercock

I'll play whatever is either really funny, or if there is no funny options something cute

i dont understand wanting to play a girl because its cute in a game

Homosexual^^

this is what I've been playing recently

I think people who self insert into games and media are weird, I don't do that, so what I play as does not really matter to me all that much

i dont self insert
