Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
We don't yet know if choosing the option to have top surgery scars influences the plot of the game. Atleast I haven't heard anything about it internally but there is emphasis on inclusion though I do feel it is missing context. Top surgery isn't just for trans persons, it is also a procedure for breast cancer patients and… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
I do feel that this really is the issue. Genuine criticism is drowned out because of it turning into a culture war. When we go from "this characters face looks off" to "you can't be racist against white people" What really matters is the studio put out a statement that protects its business instead of letting the… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
What, it's just coincidental that the games they bitch and moan about are ones that are more inclusive of LGBT people, people that aren't white, etc? There's no conclusion to take from them saying that any gender except male is "political" and that LGBT characters merely being included - sometimes in as little as a small… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
You can't possibly be trying to convince me that was there to "show gaming can include that demographic". That's the shit you bring up if you want to depict certain groups and being ridiculous, overly-sensitive and weak. And if you wanted to say "gaming is inclusive", you could just say it. And again, Tucker Carlson, not… -

In universe, these enchantments can do magical things, in fact you could just call them mods seeing how many DLC's you can add for a great many conditions and situations. Considering its a game being sold to an audience in our century, obviously it would take inspiration and reflect the real world. The point I'm making is… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
Dragon Age is not set in medieval times. Medieval times are a time period specific to the real world. It's a typical pseudo-medieval fantasy, but that is not the same, and it's absurd to say that scars resembling a 21st century procedure are the breaking point when dragons and magic are apparently fine. It's just the sort… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
I don't think its about being prettier, its the fact that they had an actor and chose not to go with a scan for reasons of budget or maybe they just approached the development process backwards. Or they really felt that the version of Kay they created seemed more authentic to the character of an outlaw, but some elements… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
This is a good perspective. None of the other human characters in the game share these features though including Kay's mother so the devs made it exclusive to Kay. Also Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Rey and many of the cast of Star Wars Rebels, Mandalorian and Ahsoka lead similar lifestyles and none of them had make… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
This isn't even about art, like I said no actual gamers outside of a handful of idiots actually think DEI is an issue. For comparison, Kay vs Alyx - I would argue Kay is actually prettier here, but players like HL2 more. Why? Because the story was better. Because the worldbuilding was strong enough that these characters… -
Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
Concord is targeting DEI/Inclusion very explicitly in its marketing (characters are presented with rainbows, strong emphasis on pronouns and inclusion), and it was anticipated to become the next Star Wars universe under Sony. I'm not sure how these aspects (niche audience, Marvel Studios budget) are in alignment with each…
