It must be fun to be the sort of person who just buys a game to get mad at it

Like, doesn't read any previews, doesn't watch any videos, doesn't do any research for a $60 investment

i guess it's one way to cope with the pile of shame

Thordros does not use pronouns. Thordros is not woke. Thordros uses formal names only. Thordros is gamer.

Kotaku In Action is woke. Kotaku In Action uses personal pronouns like

Thordros does not use pronouns.

That's cool and i respec that, but i need to inform Thordros that in this case, Thordros should set the pronoun flair to none / use name so that people adress Thordros correctly.

I refuse to play any game that does not give me a precise 0-255 slider widget for picking the exact amount of botox injected into my character's ass.

spore is a 10/10 game for me obviously

No middle sliders!

For those unfamiliar: the character creation in BG3 lets you separately pick your character's pronouns, body shape, and genitals. There's male/female/enby pronouns, four body shapes (2 masc, 2 femme), and like 8 sets of genitals (uncircumcised penises, circumcised penises, and various vulvae).

It's no different from other games with character customization except it doesn't couple gender and physical presentation.

I feel like that's way too specific for a non-porn game, but like, the other parts to this do clear up some confusion.

I haven't gotten far enough into the game to see if genitals make an appearance again, and any clothes you wear seem to override the existence of genitals, so it may have been a marketing thing like Cyberpunk did.
