| LuccaCardoso1 said: Hey, I'm going to write an article on LGBT+ characters in video games, and I need some help. Can you help me remember some of them? 1) What do you think are some good and bad examples of LGTB+ representation in video games? 2) How do you feel about the quantity of LGBT+ characters in video games? Do you think there should be more, less or do you think there's enough? 3) Do you think that, in general, LGBT+ characters are well represented in games? 4) Are you LGBT+? (feel free to not answer this question if you don't feel comfortable) |
1) I actually think The Witcher has some good to great LGB characters. There's a sidequest with a gay huntsman early in the game for example. Not a big story, but to me it felt pretty well written. To me it's bad if it feels like 'look, we have LGBT characters', that's not the way it should work.
2) Depends on the games. I don't mind LGBT companions ind RPG's, or gay NPC's and i think i wouldn't mind a LGBT player character if it fits the game.
3) Again, depends on the kind of game. I'm usually not interested at all in the sexual preferences of characters in let's say FPS. RPG's have done a lot since the days of Fallout 2 and other games. Writers and devs should have the ability and freedom to do what fits their games best in my opinion.
4) Nope.
