God bless nightdive studio, the best game remake gets better
I finally beat the game this week and with this I might just play it again to try and beat the time limit difficulty. I really hope their improvement of the final fight will be good, as right now it is just underwhelming
Nice to hear. I just don't play games that don't have female character options, unless the character actually matters and has a personality that is a major part of the game, like say, Geralt. I leave old games some leeway, but nice to hear they're fixing that in this old one, means I'll probably give it a try just based on that alone.
- If you want to play Deus Ex there is a fully voice acted mod called Lay D Denton. It's great. https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-lay-d-denton-project/downloads
  
  That's awesome. I have played Deus Ex, since I give old games that leeway, whereas there's absolutely no excuse for new ones, but it might be enjoyable to give it another run with that mod, so thanks!
- In today's episode of:
  When You Take Things Way Too Far
- Why don't you play games that don't allow you to play as one gender? I'm genuinely asking, as I'm not sure I've heard of anyone who decides not to play games based on that. How do you feel about other story-heavy games where you play as a man such as Red Dead 2?
  
  Or how about female protagonists (mostly( devoid of personality, like metroid games?
  
  When the protagonist's character, personality, and story is significant, then that's fine. If I'm playing a game like that I'm not playing a generic character that could be either and therefore should absolutely be a choice.
  I'm fine playing a game like the Witcher, Red Dead 2, etc, cause those are the stories of that guy.
  Where I won't play is games that give you a generic protagonist with little to no personality but restrict you to male only, or even I suppose female only, although this is incredibly rare and I haven't run across it myself.
