Because voice acting is totally different from regular acting. A regular actor, especially someone who got famous for being on TV or Film (where they are more often shot in intimate closeups), is a lot more subtle vocally, because a lot of their emotions are conveyed through really subtle facial cues.

Reminds of Dinklage in Destiny. He was replaced. Maybe these celebs just phone it in because they don't respect video games as an art form, don't think there's much of an audience and are just collecting a check. Someone also mentioned possible time restraints as a possible reason for less than stellar performances.

Agree 100%. She could have easily sold those lines with better directing. My best guess is they were being cheap and didn’t want to extend her booking on studio time to get all the needed takes. Maybe they also didn’t want to miff someone who’s not used to doing VA recording — which is why (PRO FUCKING TIP) studios…

Because not everyone thinks that it’s fine to passively accept bigotry. Whoever wants the mod can find their own way to host it and get fucked while doing so.

Pretty sure that’s how it goes down when the option even comes up.

I think sexuality, like most things, exists on a spectrum and there are a looooot of guys that are waaaaay more bi than they are comfortable accepting and seeing that flirt option scares them because there is a part of themselves they want to deny that wants to click it.

I like to think this all happened due to me, as I saw the mod in question just after it was uploaded, laughed at the crybaby who made it, and reported it. Within an hour, it was gone.

There were a handful of great reactionary mods that added MORE pronouns to the game. I liked that, and had a chuckle.

Imagine being so fucking thin skinned that optional pronouns bother you enough to download a fucking mod. These are the same chodes that will, unironically, call everyone else snowflakes for shit. Fuck these children, and good on Nexus for not hosting such a childish, dumb fucking mod. 

What a pathetic hill to die on. It’s literally a single option that can be completely ignored all together. Why have a mod that removes it?

Imagine being such an asshole that you need to a mod to remove a choice for you and only you that you weren’t going to make anyway just to make yourself feel better. 

and this only reads as a lower-effort version of what Larian just did.

But this very article says Bethesda has a history doing this, so makes sense they’d do it again with their new game right? I get the hate train is strong right now, but let’s be at least rational with our criticisms.

At some point, you have to ask yourself about your own expectations for games (i.e. things we play to kill time for fun). We are entering into an environment socially now where everyone wants every single thing addressed according to their liking or articles get written like this. Had the devs/writers stopped to “more…

It was something that bugged me during my play through.

Here, I made you a flowchart.

Yeah, except Mr. House was smart and intriguing. Elon’s an insufferable fucking moron masquerading as an intellectual.

This makes Elon look much cooler than he deserves, honestly.

Shorter, stricter, and more effective intermediate deadlines and goals that add up to a bigger conclusion.
