Gays guys in games - Fallout 2

[Brother None]

GamePolitics did a newsbit entitled Gay Marriage Flap Around New Lord of the Rings MMO, discussing homosexuality in games. While Fallout 2 wouldn't be the first game you think of, it did have homosexual marriage:<blockquote>In setting the stage for the LOTRO controversy, Glover recounts a number of games which have allowed gay unions, including The Sims series, Fallout 2, Second Life and Fable. Game designer Timothy Cain spoke about the decision to allow gay relationships in Fallout 2:

A big part of the ‘Fallout’ series was that we wanted it to be as open-ended as possible. We had no way of knowing whether you were going to be a man or a woman, so we decided to write all the different dialogue combinations… A role-playing game, you invent your character at the beginning, so you should get to determine what they do, and if we’re going to put any romantic element in, we should cover all the bases.</blockquote>Link: GamePolitics; Gay Marriage Flap Around New Lord of the Rings MMO

It was the first game I thought of .

Good that they removet it from the LotR game though - it wouldn't fit the setting.

Noo? The elf-archer was THE incarnation of a femminine-man, not gay but nearly...

Are you joking? After that film. Did you see the same Lord of the Rings - Return of the King as me? Did you see the FRIKKING TEN MINUTES OF GAY HOBBITS JUMPING ON A BED?!

It's a MMORPG, the setting is hosed anyway.

Did you watch Clerks 2 and/or Evening With Kevin Smith: Evening Harder?

I was upset by it. I'd be fine if they just never implemented marriage, but the fact that they had it for a while and then canned it is stupid. It further delegitimizes the already suspect "MMORolePlayingGame."

I didn't even remember it being in Fallout, as I only got married twice out of all 5 million characters I'd had.

Nope, neither. Want to watch Clerks 2, tho'

Well, Kevin Smith made that exact same joke in both Clerks 2 and Evening Harder (which was excellent and very amusing, as was the first one), although a bit more...explicit than you.

 

[Stag]

Evening Harder was pretty great. I haven't seen the first one yet, though. And SModcast is pretty awesome.

Easy to have a playing time of about 3 hours with such scenes...

Tolkien was a conservative Catholic. He went out drinking with C.S. Lewis every night

Sorry, but that line just strikes me as very funny.

lol if certain things keep at it i predict a future where the minimum number of men who can be seen together in public without arrousing suspicion will be 4 ... just finding others people children cute can get you in jail ... etc.
