this is a good thing for games, especially RPGs, because it means the dialogue will be tailored to your character instead of being ambiguous

unless they were lazy and it affects nothing, which is certainly a possibility, if not a likelihood with bethesda's track record

This doesn't tell me whether there's a boycott because there's only two, or because they use several of the numerous amount of ones I've seen tossed around in real life. I think I know the answer already, but curious is all.

"BREAKING NEWS: BIGOTS ANGRY ABOUT PRONOUNS, DETAILS AT 11."

Seriously, if you get worked up over that, you have thin skin. The bigots sure get noisy when game companies acknowledge the existence of things they don't like.

OK, latter option it is, did in fact know the answer but in all fairness it wasn't particularly the most difficult puzzle to solve.

Time to play my favourite games WITHOUT woke politics.

Like Metal Gear, Mass Effect and pokemon.

None of those deal with the woke madness of politics or pronouns!

Maybe I will play Skyrim and do the civil war. That will show Bethesda.

The sad part is those same people are actually saying that about New Atlantis, complaining that everyone there is either black or Asian. The Steam forums remain a steaming pile for the time being...
