Would you like to save a damzel in distress ?

Is there anything that someone won't make a poll for? I feel like out of all the possible combinations of words in the English dictionary, we're half-way until we've used them all up.

Too many polls. "Will you eat bread in this game?" coming next.

I miss the option: "NO, because this doesn't belong to a TES-game !"

If there are quests to save people, male and female, from situations like capture, sure.

But the "damsel in distress" cliché of the helpless little woman (especially if taken by some sort of creature), then no.

I wouldn't mind a rescue mission for anyone of either gender but a damsel in distress thing would come off as either cliché or even sixist nowadays unless they did it in a way that poked fun at the cliché.

Admirable...True...There is no 'helpless little woman'...Of that I am quite sure...But tsk, tsk,,,Where is your chivalry if this situation should arise?
