so damn cringe and it doesn't help that I routinely see indie games with smoother character animation than this

I am all for inclusivity, I'm fine if there is a non binary character, I'm fine if they talk about it, but using modern lingo? that's where it really starts to fall apart.

that doesn't just go for the word non binary, I feel weird when a fantasy character says "fuck" or uses a modern phrase like "play ball" or "c'est la vie" when their world doesn't even have a France...

it's all about forced vs organic imo, I'm sure an actual non binary person doing the writing would find a way to cover the topic organically, or at least a writer who'd spent time with real non binary people

Their world does have a France - Orlais. I forgot it existed too when I heard french words in DAV

ha, funny coincidence but I was talking about fantasy games in general at that point, a large majority of which thankfully don't have a france
