    TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY MOTHERFUCKER!

    As a cis-femme gamer I am SO SICK of playing as grizzled, middle-aged cis-men in every goddamn game with a set story.

    Games where you can pick the gender of the protagonist don’t count. Whether you play as Man-Shep or Fem-Shep, Mass Effect is exactly the same and the gender choice is exclusively cosmetic. There are very few games with female protagonists that actually commit to the protagonist being a woman and delving into what that entails.

    Just in this first trailer, Ciri is trying to save a young woman from being used as a maiden sacrifice and that is a much more emotionally complex situation for her as a young woman herself. I will be pre-ordering Witcher 4 the second it is available because I want more studios to make games with women as the main playable characters so that I can have immersion in my games too.

      Mmm but any game that provides a different storyline based on gender is opening themselves up to no end of criticism. There’s just no way they’ll ever win that one.

      Not to mention that in Witcher 3 there were already plenty of Ciri “flashback” missions.

      I kinda wonder if they’ll be doing the same in reverse and she’ll be saving Geralt’s ass this time around as the main plot
