naturally, the default fem captain has this haircut

It's because they don't know how to do long hair like devs from 2007. They desperately want the main character default to be long hair but they can't figure out how to do it for the default male.

I wonder if it's even correct that there's no "sound" in space. If you're in space, you're in some kind of tube full of air, and explosions still send out shockwaves, I'd think that force would still rattle the air in your tube enough to make a noise.

I dislike the lighting, it's very washed out with minimal shadows or really, defined lighting in general. How the **** has Doom 3 done better lighting than modern games?

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).
Considering all of the BELTALOWDA mystery meat talmudic golems that were bouncing around in the television series, I 100% fully expect this.

Gameplay Trailer | The Expanse: Osiris Reborn
Barely anything of substance was shown.
So you can have 2 companions, there's vapid dialogue choices (Yes, Yes(cool), Yes(hesitant), Yes(happy), Yes(serious)) and there's gunplay. And what looked like laser beam guns.

At least it's an enemy and not a companion, that's a step in the right direction for Owlcat.

You get upset about *******, ****** and arabs in The Expanse? The books literally have humans that are the DEI wet dreams. Naomi Nagata is literally a ****** woman with south american, asian and black features. Alex Kamal is the pilot of the Rocinante and is a **** with a texan accent. Atleast the ugly ******* are the bad guys here. One of the most influential and powerful politician on earth is a woman named Chrisjen Avasarala and is indian. There is a ***** named Jules-Pierre Mao.

I do like Mass Effect, but from a gameplay trailer I was hoping for at least some insight into the character building system, stats, perks, skills, anything at all. :tumbleweed: Oh well

Short gameplay trailers almost never show this stuff, that's for deeper dives later. They want to grab the attention of the masses, not put them to sleep.

Pretty smart to stand out by doing the same thing as all other games from all other genres!

Owlcat announced they are giving out beta keys for Osiris Reborn on their fb page. If anyone is interested you can check it out.
Would be nice to gather impressions from a fellow HQ aficionado.

Seeing a brick shithouse nigress has me incredibly concerned for what else is lurking in this shitpile. Also what dialogue we caught is very millenial-esque, not good. Owlcat genuinely believes including a single aryan woman is going to lure in chuds.

Yeah, the goofy wide armor does not look good either. Very over-designed sci-fi slop. Ironic, since the normal suits looked ok.
