The modern zoom-zoom cannot ever think contextually about anything. "Y-you mean a prison colony full of hardened criminals who are all men would actually want to treat women this way?!"
I think some are simply too afraid to portray certain attitudes at all. Both writers and audience no longer seem to understand that portrayal does not imply approval.
The audience is actually voicing the opposite. It's more a subset of people putting fingers in their ears and simply ignoring it.

True, but I meant zoomers-as-audience and not the Gothic remake audience, which is presumably older.

This is a major problem you see a lot with female writers. They want to portray all their female characters as both empowered and a victim. The problem with their portrayal of women being victims is that they are afraid to show them being victimized. This is why we constantly see female characters rescue themselves instead of getting help or rescued from a man. Another major problem we have is that 60-70 percent of writers in entertainment are women. In lies the crutch of a lot of problems with writing nowadays. You have a bunch of vapid, sheltered, spoiled and narcissistic women with Main Character Syndrome who want to be both empowered and a victim of the patriarchy at the same time. They tend to write these types of female characters in their works hence the rise of self-inserts.

They are also supposedly criminals as well and you know how many women pine for the serial killer/rapist.

I'm not buying for a second that they wouldn't arrange themselves with the situation, would they rather be free? Possibly, but certainly not inside the male-only mining workcamp lead by criminals.

I tried playing the demo. Why does the main character look and sound like a ******? I haven't played the original.

I don't like the graphics. They lack visual clarity and just overwhelm.

Is the character a placeholder?

To be honest, the hair is the worst part.

He still has, from what I can see, hunter eyes and the warrior skull. I never played the first game, but if he can't increase his muscle mass in game like Fable, he needs to be bigger.

He has the build of a soy latte drinking Californian

Is this before they went ******* or is this after getting backlash? Or are they doing the "The King sent us poor sexualized women, no worries miladies, we will give you rags instead!"

It's likely due to backlash, there'd be no good reason to add it to the video otherwise. That's my guess, at least.

The issue was never a lack of women in revealing clothing, ultimately that's neither here, nor there - it's what that shows. The original games had it, so why is it not there? Simply because the current developers (whether it's just the corporate / higher ups, or not) do not care about the game, or what the original fans might want; only their message.

It's a possibly good thing? Maybe they're kissing the ring and accepting a total chud victory after all.

Well, I hope so but that remains to be seen. We need actual gameplay trailers and not just "Making of" videos of a game. Make a "Tour" video where you show the important places, like Gomez' Keep with his elite guard and slaves, show me the new camp with the mages and mercenaries, the orc camps and their shamans and obviously the Swamp Camp with their temple and swamp weed

The point is - it doesn't even matter if it's just the higher-ups.

Since it's the entire studio, even in that case.

I'm honestly wondering why Steam even has forums at this point. No actual discussion is allowed there and the jannies are worse then Redditors when it comes to issuing bans. Was it always this bad? I joined steam after gamergate so I have no context of what it was like pre-culture war.

I think it was pre-GG, but I received an indefinite ban from all Steam forums for glorifying piracy. I forget what I said and why, but I remember thinking it was an overreaction.

And AFAIK, game-specific Steam forums are moderated by the game's devs or their representatives. "Community Managers" always seem to hate gamers for some reason.

I think Steam forums are primarily managed by the staff of the game in question, so how restrictive it gets depends mostly on the devs and how asinine they are. You will inevitably find *** devs running damage control on Steam when people find out their game is pozzed, and that obviously makes for great Youtube bait thumbnails, but there are also forums where the devs don't give a **** and apparently neither does Steam so there's some grey zones with people openly bashing on gays.

Overall I still find it far more permissive than Reddit. It never was the same after The_Donald got banned

gothic remake is Unreal Engine. Does anyone know if it's UE4 or 5?

if it's UE5 the game will be unplayable so the entire discussion is moot.
