I’m sure nobody’s character is perfectly like themselves hard as people try, the point is still valid. In your other post I saw your thumbnail it’s a basic ass character that attempts to look like you.  Where’s your horns at? Practice what you preach.

In your other article, you lamented the lack of options that let you create a character that looks more like you. But in this one, you’re bashing players for doing the same. Seems kinda strange to me.

This tells me that the ultimate power fantasy still involves being a white man.

But hopefully, even when a game doesn’t have the resources to offer a robust character creator, developers can use findings like Larian’s as a reminder to better avoid the common trap of “make everyone look like me” and perhaps think a little bit outside of the beefy-white-guy box when creating their main characters…

Man, I was alllll set to thoroughly agree with every word you said, and then you went and snuck these flamin’-hot takes in there:

Casual Star Wars fan here, but not totally nerded up in the “canon” and the thousands of different stormtrooper types they keep coming up with. The best Star Wars universe film, IMHO, was “Rouge One’. It ties into Episode IV as back story and it stands on it’s own. I really liked it.  Solo was alright, I don’t like…

Are we gonna pretend we don’t know what’s happened?

This^^^

I haven’t seen TLJ or TROS (though I’m pretty sure I know which one I’d prefer), but surely everyone can agree that the management of these films has been absolutely baffling.

“just the worst” and het here you are bitching about them. Your shallow and pedantic rant pretty much sums up who you are and how you perceive the world around you. If all you think the original Star Wars is...”fun movies in space go boom” then I truly pity you. To those with their hearts and minds open, the original…

Zombie AV Club Newswire writer priorities:

Gee, maybe some of “the love” went away when Disney decided what we all wanted was a slapdash sequel trilogy that made our childhood heroes miserable failures, cowards, and parents of a school shooter? And then totally undercut the finale of the original films by having Palpatine survive (more or less, clone,…

The offical AV Club party line is that The Last Jedi was an amazing movie that revitalized the Star Wars franchise, and if you didn’t like it you are a sexist CHUD who deserves to rot in your parents’ basement for all eternity.

There’s a very contrarian bent when it comes to Star Wars in certain places, especially here.

Star Wars films can never be accused of being great art, but they shouldn’t be boring. TLJ was dull as hell.

Hell, The Last Jedi was one of the best things to happen to this series in decades and people are still arguing about how it was actually bad.

Thank you. I’m nearly 50 and biracial Mexican American / anglo. I cried the first time I saw intentionally cast multiracial families in a commercial. I believe that was 2013, the Cheerios commercial.

This is very thoughtful, thanks for sharing.

I love your comment.

My pale European blend of paleness wife and I, a Sri Lankan guy, are thrilled every time we see an interracial couple in the media. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Cheerios commercial or an episode of Happy Endings or Sense8 or Firefly, it’s good to see some kind of reflection of us, even if it’s not a perfect reflection.
