The only way
>>316660445
C'mon now, hey
just join the bi master race
Then roleplay as a fag that got married, not difficult. Plenty of fags get married to the opposite sex, namely Elton John.
>>316660061
Yes
>>316660061
you have a fucking baby that by narrative necessity has your own genetics
doesn't matter how gay you are, the baby needs to be yours, not an adopted queerby
>>316660061
I think they need it so the Kid makes sense. He will have traits from both parents
You're actually bisexual, since you can shag anyone later on.

>>316660673
Then maybe Bethesda shouldn't have written such a heteropressive story.

>>316660061
The black baby bothers me more. I can't possibly be expected to care about my kid's well being if it was born defective.
Didn't they show gay couples at E3? Or am I thinking of the big mind-shattering "you can play as a girl" reveal.
>>316660061
>forced to be straight
>you can romance most of your companions regardless of gender
>>316660967
I thought that was odd that that got such a huge cheer.
>>316660939
I dont think you guys know what black is
>>316661043
I think it was because fake leaks said you could only play as a male
>>316660939
nah the kids not black its just the shitty shadows that made it look that way
>>316660061
Nope, I love being a normal human being and not defective.
So what can I not be a lesbian in this game?
>>316661009
>waah waah waah my ability to make up my own big gay backstory is impacting my ability to enjoy the game
They could just, I don't know, PRETEND? Like their made up backstory would be make-believe anyway, why not just pretend that none of wife/husband stuff happened?
>>316661235
>why not just pretend that none of wife/husband stuff happened?
because the entire main plot revolves around it and is constantly brought to your attention?
What's wrong with fags, dykes, and people that want to jerk off wanting to play a RPG, a genre where you're generally given a blank slate to project onto, and do it the way they want?
Role playing games are about playing the role of someone that isn't you. In fact video games are all about being someone that isn't you. Why does everyone feel that every game needs to pander to every single tiny little subculture? All it does is add more pointless development that could be spent on something else that actually makes the game good. Not that this is or would be the case with FO4 but people are way too vocal about wanting to self insert in a genre (and hobby) that lends itself more towards escapism and being/doing things you can't in real life.
>>316661009
The point about the voice is actually good as retarded as the whole comment is. Having one specific voice is more immersion shattering than not having one. But again this person feels like the game should pander to them and that the devs aren't allowed to tell a story that isn't strictly about them. These people literally cannot play as anyone but themselves in a genre that's all about that.
>>316661235
>>waah waah waah my ability to make up my own big gay backstory is impacting my ability to enjoy the game
I don't know about you but if my ability to ROLE-PLAY in a ROLE-PLAYING GAME was significantly restricted by the game's story then yes that would impact my ability to enjoy the game.
>>316661009
>it's not like fallout is a role-playing game
>oh wait it is
Quite the joker we have here.
>>316661319
then don't do the main plot
your entire motivation in this game is to save your son and avenge your spouse. if you want to play as a character with NOOOOOO BACKSTORY WAAH I WANT TO ROLEPLAY then you don't have any particular roleplaying reason to pursue the main questline. Just go explore and be all gay somewhere in peace.
>>316660061
fags couldn't have a kid though
the whole "muh son" story doesn't work if you're a homo
>>316660061
You're forced to be good too try stealing with a companion
>>316660061
>implying you can tell who is a woman/man just by looking
check your privilege shitlord
I think I'm getting the hang of this tumblr/SJW bullshit.
Yes that and I can't make a qt male husbando
>>316661432
Normally you're right but in this one you aren't given a blank slate so you gotta just deal with it and step into the shoes of a straight person this time
>>316661009
desu I would agree that adding more backstory than necessary is a bad idea. But considering the driving plot point of the game is you are looking for your offspring its pretty much unavoidable that your character be heterosexual. Sorry faggots, nothing against you, but its not our fault you can't biologically reproduce.
>>316660061
Bothered by being forced to play as a straight character in the early part of the game? Not really.
Bothered by the fact that Bethesda has taken several steps back in several different ways in terms of Fallout being a role-playing game? Yes.
>>316661140
>that model
LEL they didn't even try that looks like a full grown character just shrunk down
bethesda everyone
>>316661480
You're still role-playing, you're just roleplaying a character instead of your virtual you.
>My wife/husband is dead! I can finally be gay!
There you go. Now your character is gay.

Plenty of gay people have biological children. This is confected drama.
No.

Once again gay faggots trying to erase bisexuality
>>316662251
But your life makes for a pretty autistic backstory.
>>316661009
This post has a lot of good points desu. Bethesda fucking ruined the whole idea of making your own character.
Having to always have your character bullshit about avenging their spouse is annoying. I don't want my character to give a fuck about some lost family. Can't wait for alternate start mods.
>>316662251
Aren't autists usually the first people to self insert?
>>316662403
ohohoh you sure showed me
Back to tumblr, OP.
Fallout is already filled with gay shit
>>316662427
fuck
>>316661009
He does kind of have a point. Playing as a female character is kind of fucked when the opening narrator is is the male, and the male is given the backstory of a war veteran to explain how he can survive in the wastes while the woman is just a lawyer.
>>316662427
>>316662427
...
>muh dick
>>316662471
I agree with this. I don't give a shit about the forced hetsex, but this is a really domineering backstory for a series that typically doesn't try to tell you what to care about. It also plays oddly when he's really fixated on his kid sometimes and other times just happy wandering around shooting raiders and building sheds.
>>316662975
>his kid
>his
triggered
>>316662707
They could've fixed the opening by just having Ron Perlman do it. I mean, I like how the opening tied right into character creation, but that in itself isn't without problems.
Always bet on Ron.
>>316663047
Hir kid.
>>316662427
>>316660061
It bothers me, but no more than any of the other characterization forced on the player.
>>316660673
Sounds like a pretty problematic story then
>>316662707
Fallout world is pretty gender equal
I don't know why both parents couldn't have been veterans.
>>316660061
Slightly annoyed because I can no longer play as a gay, smooth talking cowboy like in New Vegas.
>>316660061

crack where?
i wanna try it and see if i like the game and the environment this time around before i actually buy it...
>>316660061
Go force your SJW agenda on reddit faggot
Just one of the many things Bethesda gets wrong and why its not a roleplaying game
In New Vegas you weren't forced to be a straight white male or female and have a "Nuclear" family, you were just a random male/female/other and your sexual orientation doesn't matter.
It was same with 3, they keep perpetuating this Nuclear family bullshit and not letting us make our own decisions.
Yes it bothers me. I wanted to play a pure lesbian.

This.
>>316661140
Does Shaun have red hair for everybody? When I saw him with redhair I thought it was cool since I had made my character a redhead.
OT: Not really. While it would have been nice to have had a wife to my female character, its still like whatever. Besides, youre not forced, you can bang characters of both sexes regardless of your own.
I would never want to be forced to be a faggot though, game that does this I will not support, watching you BioWare...
>>316660061
A drunk night goofing off with your best friend, with the context of societal/familial (which ever fits best for the setting) pressures to be hetero, sees things heat up as they wind up stumbling into a park near where one of them lives. Baby and shotgun wedding ensue. Humanity's fall is a tragic but door opening event for the budding homosexual MC. Ta-da.

wow my man you managed to come up with something that's even gayer than letting you pick two men in the character creator
>>316660061
you're 1950's people, of course you're straight.
being gay wasn't even an option back then unless you were a raging asshole that wanted to make everyone uncomfortable with your unchecked perversion.
>>316665121
ayy lmao
>>316660673
>What is adoption
>>316665121
Haven't played the game, but the husband's canon name is Nate or something, right? So after doing this, does the player character refer to her wife as Nate?
>>316665140
Wasn't that the challenge OP set for us?

So were interracial marriages, and yet those are possible too.
I think Beth don't give a fuck about whether it fits the theme.
>>316666456
What Beth cares about is how hard it is to implement.
Same sex relationships would require, at least a new voice actor.
>>316666781

>>316666012
it's 50s in aesthetic only, and in terms of communist fright, otherwise there is no evidence fallout world dealt with much racism in 2078, the only racism you encounter is after the bombs drop
>>316660061
I hate that no one is looking big picture here. Wah wah I can't be a cock gobbler. The problem is Bethesda has forced you into a narrative and it's garbage, especially when they want you to care about these chucklefucks, then off your spouse and take your baby in the first nanosecond. I literally don't give a shit about the baby or the wife, and all they do is try and batter you with BUT FEEL BAD FOR YOUR FAMILY THOUGH, PICK THE ANGRY ANSWERS. Bethesda has been shit at storywriting for a decade, and this is the worst they've been, period. Skyrim 2 is going to be so linear, just watch. And the normies will gobble it up like the shit eating scum masters they are.
>>316660803
They have a point though. It's meant to be an RPG, y'know where you play as the character you want to play as, rather than being forced to be this one guy
>>316666012
The trailer has an interracial lesbian couple. Also the world didn't just stagnate for 120 years as soon as it hit the 50's.
>>316665121
Okay, drama resolved.
>>316661009
That's actually true.
Why would a lesbian have a husband and a kid?
>>316667775
Shit happens. Take it as a writer's challenge and adapt your RP. Jesus shit have some creativity for once maybe? You have endless facebook RP for your special snowflake OCs, let some games prompt you in unfamiliar directions.
>>316667378
You can be a girl.
Though the game fails on many levels as an RPG, and this is just one of them. It seems that the de-RPG-ing of the series at this point is even starting to affect casuals.
>>316661768
It actually is. They expand to normal size when ordered into Power Armor.
This is just part of a larger problem that FO4's story is way too intrusive. Giving the MC an established backstory was a big mistake. So was adding a voice and a shitty dialogue wheel.
Personally I'm just gonna wait and hope that Obsidian makes their own version, then I'll buy the GOTY edition on sale in a couple years when most of the bugs/crashes have been patched/modded out.
