Looking at the one bit of art they've released so far, and in stark contrast with both the books and TV show, the main cast appears to be predominantly White, with all characters being attractive.

Game will be **** full stop.
I assume this will be the first Owlcat game where they don't have a notoriously petty and litigious IP owner breathing down their neck, demanding they pozz up the game more than necessary, so it remains to be seen if all the woke **** in the Pathfinder and Warhammer games was because of Paizo and GW, or if it was all Owlcat's fault.

Even the sheboon adheres more closely to Japanese game ****** aesthetics than it does to Western ****** representation.

It's still gay that the game lacks spaceship battles. Even something as basic and dogshit as the ship battles in Rogue Trader would have been better than ******* nothing.
The game is made by Russian zapadniks. You are coping.

And anyone who doesn't like it will be branded a racist or an incel. Seriously, though. The average Western guy's mindset is in such a ****** state that I'm convinced they could do it, and not only would they get away with it, the media would praise them endlessly for it.

Same devs wrote this character:
Anevia Tirabade is a transgender woman and a significant character in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. She is introduced early in the game as a rogue and archer serving in the Eagle Watch, married to Irabeth Tirabade, a half-orc paladin of Iomedae.
Anevia's transgender identity is a core part of her backstory, revealed in Act 5 through a high-Diplomacy check, where she discloses that she was raised as a boy by her mother to protect her from cultists of Zon-Kuthon, but realized the gender identity she was given fit her well.
The "medicine" Irabeth pawned their family sword for was a magical elixir to permanently change Anevia's physical gender.

Her story is widely recognized as one of the most well-integrated transgender narratives in tabletop and video game RPGs, with her identity being a natural part of her character rather than a plot device.
The inclusion of Anevia's transgender identity has been praised for its authenticity and representation, with her relationship with Irabeth being a central, respectful aspect of her character.
The game's developers, Owlcat Games, have acknowledged the importance of such representation, even though a similar transgender character was cut from an earlier version of the game.

played WotR, never ******* encountered that "important" *** dialogue and always (naively) assumed there was just an unspoken tragic story of a dude with some incurable disease/condition and got not much time left, then his wife sells a sword to get him a potion to prolong his existence, then Fifth Crusade hits and everything goes to hell... up until "Wokeless Wrath"'s summary explained me the entire **** :groan:

i place my bet they'll make all whites on the poster ******* and/or make the rest as minor NPCs or ****** unimportant quest givers. the blonde will 100% be dating a ****** or will mention in the very first dialogue she's into BBC or will say the ultimate reddit phrase how all people are beautiful (or **** like that).

I think it is predictions based on previous experiences. Yes, modern RPGs fell that low.

Kinda surprised the militant ***** groups didn't hate them for this due to magic that changed sex organs or whatever. I thought the new thing was wanting to be a separate 3rd group with extra rights.

The more I reflect on the Expanse the more I can agree it's very influenced by reddit liberalism talking points, especially stuff like hyper focusing on Holden's coffee or mixed race gf. I can only read into "humanity never changes" so many times before I get bored of being told the same message over and over. And the obsession with belter terrorists being the oppressed good guys didn't win me over either. Reminds me of Deus Ex sequels relating augmented people to brown and gay people. Can we finally move onto more compelling narratives?

i say it's smth you learn and make a habit when actually trying to draw a fist. without pronouncing knucklebones of the index finger and a thumb the fist automatically looks wonky and more like an odd stump.

Surely you mean nitrogen? There is barely 21% oxygen in our atmosphere.
