Are you sure his name is Mr Handy and not Mr. F.I.S.T.O.

Just out of curiosity, do you see the irony in this statement?

No Irony to be found.

Telling someone to stop thinking their opinion is the only one that matters.

No irony there brosef.

Hmmm.

marriage and romance is dumb and has no place in video games like fallout and i hope they dont carry that crap over from skyrim because that was just lame ass awkward [censored] and utterly pointless

If this wasn't supposed to take place in the 50's and if the story fit the time/place I would not care what sixuality the beginning was. However, I would find it unlikely to see an open gay marriage at that time in the average american household.

It's basically the tutorial part, once you wake up be whatever you want. The world is destroyed as your character once knew it. Maybe you were hiding who you really were prior, but no need to now. You can be gay, you can be a psychopath, you can be a hero, do what you want. Just know, if you are gay, it shouldn't define who you are. You still can be a hero, or a monster. Being gay is like being straight-it's just who you prefer to be intimate with.

Now if the complaint is that we know any background on our character that is a separate issue. However it's only the tutorial part of the game so I don't have an issue with it, and we've always had some background when playing a Bethesda game.

No sense crying over it any more, what is done is done. You're married or were married. Now 200 years later you are single. Go out and enjoy yourself in finding your preferred mate in the Wasteland.

This is why "Gamergate" happened....the SJWs want to force their neurosis on us all, even if it kills the industry.

/Sigh

Dragon Age: Inquisition forums is this way--------->

As I said in another topic

You know, being gay myself, I was one of the ones who felt strongly about this. Perhaps we should just trust Bethesda about this.

Howard said, "This is an enormous dynamic world where you can create any kind of character you want, go where you want, and do what you want." Maybe we should just trust what he says is true.

There is no reason for him to lie to us or to exclude us from the game.

I realize I was one of the ones fighting tooth and nail for this but I guess I will drop it until I actually play the game.

As I mentioned I am sure Bethesda will have everyone covered in some form or another. If not and I am indeed straight, I will believe Bethesda will have a compelling reason for doing so.

If that is the case I will play the mother who has lost everything, trying to survive the wasteland and the grief of losing her family. That sounds just as interesting of a story as me being in the game

I don't think Bethesda quite knew they'd get this sort of reaction from the decision of representing the PC in a relationship with the opposite six from the get-go and as a plot point.

In a game by a company that made its name from player freedom, I don't think it's asking much at all to decide my player character's sixuality. And to dismiss this as just "uppity SJWs infesting another game" is ignorant and selfish.

Well, Gamergate became a clustereff of what it was. It was ORIGINALLY about corruption in video game journalism, but either trolls or journalists trying to distract from the issue turned it into a the issue of gender and the rest devolved from there. Another case of good intentions gone horribly horribly awry.

Right? Also there seems to be substantially more people whinging about SJWs than actual SJWs.

Discussion on this singulary topic has reached high enough traffic that Bethesda may actually comment before the game releases. Or not, they could ignore it easily.

Ugh, so sick of gamers and their "give me what I want!" Attitude. Just let the developers make a game, stop forcing them to put equality into a game just because. If they wanted to make a gay character then fine, great! As a straight person I would be fine with that and not question Bethesda. But no they decided to go with a straight protagonist, and that's fine. If they add options for gay people then kudos to Bethesda, if they don't then quit complaining it literally won't matter in Fallout.

How do we know for sure that in the beginning we can't make our couple as two men or two women? We don't but even if we can't, we can be whatever we want once we come to 200 years later.

I mean a two hundred years is enough time to change anyone.

From E3 gameplay.

I don't understand why you guys think this is just about SJWs or some kind of "gay agenda". It's about player freedom, you know that thing Bethesda was talking about during E3. Instead of just saying "derp SJWs nothing to see here derp" address how this clearly go against the player freedom that we are suppose to like in these games. Also please save me the "if the main was gay only I wouldn't complain" crap okay. Any of you remember The Last of Us DLC crap storm over the main character being gay? A lot of people was saying "I don't want it force on me", " THE GAY AGENDA NOOOOO!",ect.

I'm not gay and have no interest and making gay character but that doesn't mean I can't see why it shouldn't be a option.

Edit-Oh and the "It's the 50s" argument. So does that mean we shouldn't be able to make a interracial couple then? And if I'm a black guy dating a white woman we are looked at funny and treated bad(if not beaten up or killed)? I mean it's the 50s right?
