I'm not defending the game from not including gay characters, I'm defending people trying to change what writers write. We don't have full control, but companies do tend to pander to people who spout enough, and there is where I have an issue. I'm just going to head out and hopefully let this die out. I wish you all a good day. But, that's what people always do about every topic. Like, people communicate likes and dislikes to content creators. If I say "I'd like to see more stories features Von Schill" would you think that's me trying to dictate what the writers write to? Would you be calling me out on it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Gatreaux Bokor will now forever be known as the model they forced onto the game because people were hoping for new voodoo themed Gremlins 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designers: "Oh, that would be cool, wouldn't it?" Just because the fans want something doesn't mean that it's forced on us. We're fans, too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit, mountain goats would be so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 "Later that very same day 7 new models with goat theme, one for each faction, were added to the game in the short 'Got Goat?' Malifaux 2E expansion. Then... the 'LGBT characters?' thread exploded." From the book Memories of a Forum Survivor, chapter 8 - Good god, got goat? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Create a new master: a trans shepherd. With a herd full of goats, each different and one for each faction. Something like the meadow seven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for intellectual dishonesty. You know very well that he's not suggesting people are putting a gun to a developers head and "forcing" them. He's suggesting people are attempting to cohere designers to do something that they may not want to do for the purpose of pleasing a select few. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Some are just here to point out that the wheel doesn't need greasing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are just here to point out that the wheel doesn't need greasing. Maybe you should take your own intellectual dishonesty advice. I, and others interested in having less ambiguous LGBT characters, aren't trying to coerce the writers into anything. I'm just expressing my desire to see LGBT characters. The Red Rising trilogy does it quite well. There are a few characters who are unambiguously LGBT but are introduced as such very subtly. I felt more connected and immersed in the world as a result. While the world is fictional, it seems more based in reality. It also means a lot to me to see an LGBT character. Regardless, it is 100% possible to have a well written character who happens to be LGBT in a way that is clearly stated, unambiguous, yet subtle. That's all I'm asking. If the writers don't want to do it, then that's fine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
