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)?![]()

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.rusty_shackleford wrote: β October 29th, 2025, 04:23alsoGhostCow wrote: β October 29th, 2025, 04:22She's such a minor character that I didn't even remember her name so I don't really care.![]()

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.GhostCow wrote: β October 29th, 2025, 04:25Like 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 than came from so it appears that my instincts were correct.rusty_shackleford wrote: β October 29th, 2025, 04:23alsoGhostCow wrote: β October 29th, 2025, 04:22She's such a minor character that I didn't even remember her name so I don't really care.![]()

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 personGentlemanCthulhu wrote: β October 29th, 2025, 05:49TOW 2 is not woke imo.

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
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.

sex/sexual orientations/etc., didn't come up one time in my entire time playing it. You guys just aren't getting what I'm saying
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

we both know it's in there somewhere
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.Bertram_Tung wrote: β October 29th, 2025, 07:01did you beat the game, because rusty got like a quarter through at mostGentlemanCthulhu wrote: β October 29th, 2025, 06:57I'd be curious to know where you encountered it, because I also didn't.

This video sums up how I felt entering this thread and how I felt leaving it when I last posted.
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:

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
