I romanced the the castellan three times, pre-determining her gender as female and with straight male MCs in all three cases. She was trans every time. Not sure if that changes for gay MCs or if the NPC genders are randomized.
Also not sure why that would prompt someone to write a negative review but oh well ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Some people (especially on steam) will give a bad review the moment there’s even a glimpse ‘inclusiveness’… because ‘OMG!11!! EVUL SJW RUINING GAMIIIIING’
/shrug people are unfortunately like that (you’d think they’d know better by now, but they usually talk to hear themself talk)
Back to the game, it’s a little odd however. I mean you can set the npcs’ genders at the start and there’s even a bit where it says ‘the next bit contains spoilers’ so, might be a bit out of left field to some.
I was about to acquire this title before seeing your mention, now I’m on a fence. I once regretted purchasing a certain CoG IF because of that very reason.
Yes, I assumed that’s the content of mentioned review. I asked if it has any merit to it. Is there a strong focus on what you (or the reviewer) call “political agenda”?
EDIT: I’ve just read the spoiler tag. Does the apparently controversial element serve a purpose?
It serves the purpose that the character is trans. The scene might be a bit out of left field and maybe feel shoehorned in to some, but it certainly isn’t an element that’d pull the story to a halt to talk about it for pages on end.
