Heh, yeah. That's such a weird statement. How does one go about not liking what you like or liking what you don't like?

They done did it again!
Same as Outer Worlds, they laid the bait and switch with the game's first planet/region *again* only for a downgrade on the next planets/regions (I'm 2-3 hours in the 3rd area)
It's also a FO4 level "RPG" IMO, most skills don't seem to have that much of an effect on dialogue (playing a tank with spear and shield, decided to use dual pistols for shits and giggles as backup) aside from ripping off some characters for more money with mid/high Resolve successful checks; it ends up being saved IMO by the exploration and rewards from doing so.
Story is ok, guess it'd be better if one had played the pillars games but I only played the first for some 15 hours and then dropped it.
As for the woke and weird shit, there are a few girlbosses and some gay shit ofc, but the absolute worse is the they/them dialogue popping up when discussing a few (aptly so) NPC's (even worse, it's compounding with recently having to stand that shit in some WH40K books, especially some recent ones with eldar space corsairs and ofc the undefeated pound for pound champ of they/them, AdMech).
"We should tell them" what?
"They're not to blame" who????
"He hit them first!" what, like the three stooges or a mel brooks movie?

Still woke shite in production. That scifi game by naught dog with that fugly asian woman and the other scifi with the black british woman. Travesty, but it is what it is.

Subjectively and general speaking, some woke is more "tolerable" that others.
For example, the last Indiana Jones game: lesbianism, condescending and snarky 'free-thinking/entrepreneur/powerful' women talking down at Indy...
But, what the hell.
Indy looks at them, enjoys the pyramids, smiles, and moves on.

Probably is better to just pick up pieces of what you like out of the big pile of shite, instead of having absolutely nothing.
 Spoiler: | That doesn't mean you can't CRITIQUE and be vocal about it!
After all, how will you change this shite if not acting on it... |
