  • Then you’re shit-out-of-luck, the same as you would be if you wanted to play Uncharted as Lara Croft.

    That wasn’t an option this game happened to provide you.

    Nor was it what was being discussed, presumably because most people petutantly wailing “I wanted to play this game but as a guy!” realize how daft that sounds. Just play a different game. It won’t even be that good anyway.


  • Yeah, true.

    What does that have to do with what was being discussed? They asked for a playable option of someone of the “appropriate ethnicity” to represent the culture (and I’m not even qualified to explain that kettle of worms). There is one, she’s also a woman.

    They didn’t ask for a “playable, ethnically-and-culturally Japanese character that is primed to interact with and take advantage of the stupendously patriarchal system of AC Shadow’s era of Japan, i.e. a Japanese man”. Possibly because they realized how bonkers it would be to request that. And a patriarchally-advantaged playable character has hardly core to the identity of AC, to be making a stink now.

    All choices depend on the degree of the power. How much can you lift with telekinesis and how dexterous is? Is magic cantrips, level 9 spells, or something even more arcane? To what level are the speed and strength “super”? Are you a “Captain America” super human or Superman?

    Thankfully, my constant favorites are pretty definite: invulnerability and immortality.

    What even is “psychic” and how is meaningfully different from “telekinesis” and “telepathy”? Is it bundling all the other -kineses? Yeah, I’m giving it too much thought but personally I don’t like discussions based entirely on everyone not having enough information.
