I know, it’s funny, but it’s also depressingly sad that it has come to this. Sort of like Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, which had every female NPC offering to sleep with my female elf mere minutes from joining, but not a single male even so much as sniffing the air around her. It seems every single western CRPG is being written by jaded cat-lady lesbians in their early 30s who absolutely refuse to allow female main characters to procreate out of envy that they themselves cannot do the same. Though at least there, the ugly elf with the bad accent offered herself up once. It was also the same exact problem I had with Dragon Age: Inquisition, only as a male main character. It left a bad taste in my mouth and held the game back from being the full-fledged RPG experience I wanted it to be.

Eder rejected her, Aloth rejected her, and Serafen never even bothered…yet every female PC and NPC were drooling over my bedsheets and begging to be let inside. Of course, it would’ve been nice if they let my female monk at least have a boyfriend.
Fallout 4 did this and I didn’t approve of it there, either. Now it could be that all the characters are designed to be bisexual and can be romanced by either a male or female main character…which while I understand it, I think it cheapens the roleplaying. Though, to be perfectly frank, I thought that was handled humorously and hidden deep enough in a secondary quest so as to not be too jarring. The most shocking of these inclusions would be a merchant in Delver’s Row that looked to be a man, but when I talked to the mind-reading vithrack in the next room, I found out that he was really a “she”, and was transgender. The second in command of the pirates guild – who wants you to conspire with her to overthrow the corrupt male who runs it – also asked to sleep with my female monk the first time I met her.
Aloth, our famously nerdy wizard, meets his old gay lover in a brothel and has an awkward conversation while you watch idly by. Serafen, the male Orlan pirate, mentions how he desired to have an attractive man share his bunk with him. Yet female priestess Xoti and the ranger Maia both hit on my character and asked to sleep with her within an hour of them joining the party. Knowing this, it should come as a surprise that not a single male NPC would enter romance with me, even when I maxed their reputation and asked for such a thing.
Making it even worse was that nearly every faction in the game was either headed by a stereotypically ugly/tough/bitchy female NPC that talked like they were acting in a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, or a sniveling wimp of a male that was blatantly corrupt and immoral.įor reference, my only trip through the game so far was as a female Pale Elf monk.
I debated on whether or not to draw attention to this, but every time I swore to not mention it, another odd inclusion of homosexuality, transgender identity, or proclamation of bisexuality would rear its head. There is one very odd problem with the game that I couldn’t help but notice: the frequency of LGBT politics.
