People are offended that the game is insinuating that they're gay if they chose pawns of the same gender. The pawns comment on it. They just say that it's interesting that whole party is all male/female and the Arisen has a preference. Essentially some people are fucking fragile.

My pawn made a comment I hadn't heard before earlier that seemed a bit snarky so off he went over the cliff.
In hindsight I may have over reacted but it's for the best.

The reaction to the plague is a bit hysterical tbh. Pay attention to your pawn, stop every once in a while and look how they behave. Stare into their cold dead eyes once every few days and make sure you use pawn commands sometimes.

Why not, is that not your preference?

Glol at gremmi's post.
How dare a vidya game lightly mock me for my party choices and insult my utterly virile masculinity.
I am offended to the core.

How insecure does someone have to be to feel called out by a bit of dialogue that is confirmed by the post saying he felt called out.
A Tweeted reply has something from the Steam discussion of the game which is also funny.

Also, there is no difference other than aesthetic between feminine or masculine characters. The fact he feels the need to defend his selection on some kind of tactical basis of being better suited for combat is....special.

I'm literally ending myself. "This game is calling me gay and I don't want to play it anymore." Jesus wept. I can imagine the impotent rage that builds every time the pawns comment. I think Capcom should double down on this. "I notice that all of us are male master, you must very much be arisen" The gaming community sometimes... It's... Delightful.

"Are you Arisen, or just pleased to see me?"

The fact he feels the need to defend his selection on some kind of tactical basis of being better suited for combat is....special. As I understand it, heavier characters can carry more and taller characters can reach places, so clearly since the men would have lots of heavy muscles and would be naturally taller because they're superior, they'd be better suited to combat and adventure. Therefore the game is calling him gay for being efficient and he won't stand for it, REEEEEE (it should be obvious, but /s... Although I think character creation does have some effect in gameplay)

I feel I made a mistake by having a female midget as a character now.

That just makes me love this game more.
For the record, the pawns have no objection to all female teams. They've told me so. Repeatedly.

There are so many cool little details in the game. Anything that enrages sensitive little flowers like this is a win in my book. Pawns grassing up arisen who frequent the brothel is a great touch too.
Had to force myself not to play this evening as I'd still be playing after midnight with an early start tomorrow.

Fucking hell. How insecure do you need to be to get offended by that. Itโs hilarious that a video game comes up with random jokes like that and even more hilarious that people can actually offended.
Anyway, some hijinks were had with Athena and Duncan. They helped me defeat my first ogre. Those things are mental. Grab you like fucking King Kong and smash you into a wall. Loving the archer now. Itโs not great for close quarters in caves, but Iโve got some good skills, like the charge one that sends them flying in the air. This game really comes into its own when you are just out and about doing shit.

Entered the mysterious village at night this evening and, this ain't much of a looker, until they get the torches out at night. Stunning.
Having a lot of fun playing as a thief at the moment. Got revenge on a minotaur that was savaging the party yesterday.

15 hours in, according to the PS App, and loving every minute of it. I haven't had this much fun just exploring in an open-world game since Elden Ring. I found myself in the Charnel House in Vernworth, quite by accident, so I was able to resurrect the two NPCs I'd murdered in cold blood (one for mouthing off, the other for giving me a funny look). Only one of them was related to a quest, so bringing back the other was probably a waste of a Wakestone, but that's fine. On my way to the Nameless Village, all three of my Pawns decided to lemming themselves into the water, leaving me to complete the journey by myself. Dozy gits. Also, Billy has developed quite the attitude - upon rehiring him, he says something like, "What marvellous bad luck, to suffer you twice!" each time.
I would've hired Vyrt, but the super-OP pawn I was able to borrow from a PSN friend is a Mage, and I'm aiming for a balanced party.

Was told I might want to go back to a certain village not too far away. Eschewed the cart in favour of a bit of exploration. One wrong turn and two hours later and Iโve discovered a beautiful Elven settlement (I donโt speak elvish so no idea what they were saying), a goblin invested tomb, a golem, a mine filled with slime and an item I needed and all sorts of other shit. Now trekking all the way back to take the correct road. Absolute madness.
Itโs like drunk Elden Ring.

I had either pawns or npcs mentioning an elven gathering nearby, but they said humans werenโt welcome. I want to find it but Iโm also scared of getting jumped by an entire village. Maybe itโs a different area though, it they let you roam freely.

That's cool - I'm delighted to see people jumping straight into the sequel and having so much fun with it.
I only played DD1 four years ago, so I'm by no means an original fan. DD2 has surpassed my expectations and then some.
