Its virtue signaling. Throwing in gay characters makes it seem like you're cool and hip.

I once read an article somewhere that basically reported results on Americans' beliefs about the homosexual population and Americans estimated the population of gays to be like... 5x higher than it really was. The researchers thought it was because of TV. You'd think there were gays everywhere.

Just like with this bathroom stuff and the transexuals. You'd think there are trannies everytime you turn around. But its less than half a percent of the population.

I wouldn't really care either way what her orientation is. I just think its weird that games go after this stuff trying to be "representative" when they really aren't.

Gotta account for all those closet homos, anon.

It's got something to do with the water at the universities. Don't worry about it, it'll still be a good game.

true since time immemorial

This.

If you watch TV, you can see a lot of times commercials will have women holding hands, and have 2 men playing with an Asian baby or some shit.

I don't care, it doesn't effect me, it's just interesting that in a few years, we will see ugly trans people holding hands or something on TV.

I'm 100% in support for encouraging devs to make games with more interesting, less chliched character choices, but this seems to pervert that mentality

Is the empress gay now? Corvo is such a shit dad.

Oh Im gonna get it probably at launch. Like I said, I can't imagine it will be relevant at all to the game itself. I just wonder why people care

She's not. He said they focus on action/stealth and MC's sexuality interpretation is up to the player.

What I wanna know is will the character you don't play as die? I assume something will happen to them otherwise you will have to wonder why they aren't doing everything together.

I kinda wanna see that actually, even though if they did that they would either have to choose one character to live canonically or just end their story with this game.

Though I suppose the latter option would be fine. Though I imagine if they did choose which would be the one to live, it would be Emily

Same, but people looking to hit an imaginary equality quota solely for the sake of hitting that quota are the worst.
