So, to start, the game is a ton of fun, the story so far (just started chapter 3) is excellent and actually feels like I am in a war with the decisions I am making having a great impact on the battles and other factors. the side little dilemmas are pretty interesting as well, and a few get some good laughs.
But there is one thing that continues to show up over and over again.
First, Oberon requests the freedom for gay marriage. Fine, I have no problem with this being a debate in the game, anyone who argues that it shouldn't be something to debate about in the game due to its controversy needs to realize that THEY are the ones who decides whether to allow it or not, thats it. Make the decision and move on.
So, I decide to allow it to see what happens, then from that point on I have received a whole chain of personal dilemmas that focused entirely on a person being gay. First, an undead artist getting all art removed and burned for being gay, I save the paintings. Next (that I remember at the moment) scarlet "offended" henry and he assumed it's because she "doesn't like men." turns out to be true so I console her and its all better. then just now I hear about a witch hunter performing harsh rituals and killing innocents. Thats good enough reason for me to shut him down. Then it turns out that it is all because he is targeting people because they are GAY.
Ok, I'm all for there being a single debate on gay marriage. That is something governments do talk about and decide whether or not to allow it, but why does almost EVERYTHING after allowing it leads down to someone being gay?
The paintings could have been simply considered "sacrilegious" to the undead for a certain subject matter while everyone else says the work is fascinating and impressive and should not be burned.
the witch hunter could be hunting down people who have voodoo dolls or alchemy labs and such. That is what witch hunters look for! Gay may be on the list but it would not be the first and formost thing that they would search for before trying to burn someone as a witch!
Not everything has to lead to being GAY. Feels like they are trying to press for something in this game after hearing about it so many times.
Otherwise this game is fantastic in my oppinion, I just think they need to cut back on that a bit, or if you say "No gay marriage" will you get something completely different? There are much more interesting things to focus on in side goals and personal debates then being gay. It just gets old hearing about it 4 or more times.
