This discourse was going around twitter today apparently and im curious takes from here.
Which is it for you?
For me i prefer playersexuality. I want to be able to romance any romance option regardless of my charachters gender. I dont want to be stuck with only Arcade Gannon if i want to do m/m
I agree that sexuality can be important to a charachter. But if you wanna do that, seems like the charachter can just not be a romance option.
That said. In RPGs devs can do what they want. You want a charachter to be monosexual and a romance option, have at it. (Unless theyre all straight, then fuck you).
I do kinda hate what The Sims did by adding monosexuality. Felt like such a virtue signal that made the game less fun. All Sims being pansexual was always more fun for me. Especially since i usually play that game as a pansexual slut. Unless i decide my player Sim is mono, but thats on the player's end.
Monosexual townies in the Sims should at least be optional (is it? Idk havent played Sims 4 since this update).
Why should we be restricted to telling queer stories in that fashion though? Your post just comes off as entitled.
I'm going to need a bigger eye roll emoji.
I don’t think they’re saying that player choice is an immutable Unbreakable Law, just that in games that want it to be prioritized that what they’re suggesting is a good option. I could be wrong though.
No need for the agression. What WithoutFutherBelay said is correct. Its a suggestion for a certain type of design. Not trying to restrict devs. You wanna make Arcade Gannon, make Arcade Gannon.
Player choice in game that emphasize player choice is not entitled.
