what's your opinion on Anna Navarre being the bestest agent in the world who don't need no new fancy nanotech augments because she's the bestest due to her natural talents(this is actually part of the story)?
I never played whatever game you are talking about so I can't comment

i assumed ghostcow was being fecetious, and i was about to say rusty missed the joke, until ghostcow actually replied and confirmed he was serious :lol:

She's such a minor character that I didn't even remember her name so I don't really care.
:notsureif:
the character in the intro never appeared again because it was from an in-universe TV show
Like I said before, it's the first thing you see and sets the tone for the game, and other posters seem to be saying there is plenty more where that came from so it appears that my instincts were correct.

It's fine dude. Nobody needs to look beyond the very first post in this entire thread, made by roguey_shackleford himself, to know this game is woke beyond repair and not worth playing.

(I circled the woke part in case anyone missed it)

TOW 2 is not woke imo. It's very flaccid and sterile in these departments. It is very brown though, I'll give you that much.

It's a hard to describe quality, in purposely woke games you see females as every good leader and the white male as the EVIL person
in outer worlds 2 it's like they took the time to go through and make sure there's one of every single race/combo represented somewhere

it's obviously very libtarded, but it's just awkward because libtards haven't done things like this since the 90s

Sterile
Flaccid

:D

But yeah the game just doesn't take a stand either way imo. If it didn't have Body Type A / B **** I would say it doesn't even feature any gender politics, but as it is the body type stuff is the extent of it in my experience. Same goes for its critique of capitalism / corporatism and socialism. It expresses no real opinions at all.

Interestingly, I would say this game is not only less woke than VtmB 2, but it's also less woke than something like Elden Ring, whose central plot points involved gay incest.

too lazy to dig up video games but you can see the same in many TV shows/cartoons of the era. Captain Planet is a very obvious example.
Baldur's Gate is an example of a race/gender diverse character cast tho

It’s amazing how much Rusty discourse is just him pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.

I'd be curious to know where you encountered it, because I also didn't. I'm not saying I don't believe you, I could have just missed it, but I would describe TOW 2 as asexual, over anything else.

Are you guys telling me such prestigious outlets such as "Gayming" Magazine are lying? If so, we better notify Bluesky immediately about false marketing and the coverup of lack of representation.

Nope, I'm still going through it. I will definitely beat it though since I'm enjoying the gameplay. Anyways me calling TOW 2 asexual is just as much of a criticism as is calling it woke, because its Obsidian's millennial cringe mindset that's causing it. They are on record saying how difficult they find "romances" and sexuality in RPGs.

It could be there, but I didn't see it before quitting due to bugs.

I've been playing this game for the last few days. It's not a bad game, but it's not gonna win any awards either. The only woke crap I've noticed so far is characters being referred to as "they" when it's not grammatically correct.

From the reports I've been seeing and my own experience, it still needs some work.

SteamDB does not have all DLC listed on the game's page, so I did have to edit steam_emu.ini to unlock the missing DLC with the following info:
3729850=The Outer Worlds 2 - Digital Artbook & Soundtrack
3729860=The Outer Worlds 2 - Premium Content
3729880=The Outer Worlds 2 - DLC Pass
3729910=The Outer Worlds 2 - Commander Zane's Battle Pack
3938110=The Outer Worlds 2 - Pet Tie-in
4055350=The Outer Worlds 2 - Pet Tie-in 2
Thanks to machine4578 on cs.rin.ru for this info.

the argument was it's not any more woke than the average game from the past 10 years, and probably even less, which is surprising considering the marketing
