    This is not what I meant at all, but leave it to Lemmy to make Redditors look intelligent, I guess. This place has really gone downhill quick.

      Female leads are fine as long as the game is good? Why are male leads fine even if the game is not good? Why does the gender matter either way?

      Please go back to reddit, /r/gaming needs your discourse

      You’re not exactly making yourself look intelligent there, both with your original post and this reply.

      If what you **said **- there’s enough games with female leads; female leads are only fine as long as the game is good; female lead is bonus points for a good game; it’s no longer special - isn’t what you meant, then why didn’t you say what you meant?

      I’ll bite the potential bait. What did you mean then?

      I ask as a straight white dude that generally creates female characters in game and truly enjoy seeing how the game world reacts to the character (if it does) and find it enjoyable to experience challenges outside of those that generally color my world view.

      It’s cool to be Geralt or Male Shepard but I’ve seen, read and played that story quite a few times. For my personal enjoyment I’d like to live in a world (especially another CDPR one, doubly so for the Witcher universe) as a female character. It opens up a shit ton of new dialog possibilities and quest choices.

      Having played through Cyberpunk multiple times as both male and female V, there’s skme truly unique things that they do that are only possible by leveraging the PC’s gender when interacting with the world.

      There’s no point discussing this stuff on Lemmy as you will always get downvoted to hell. It’s this little bubble.
