Other than RPGs that let you choose, what games have you play as a gay protagonist?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The Last of Us, Life is Strange, Tell Me Why, and Celeste come to mind.

I honestly find it more awkward when you play a woman who has to have sex with a man. It seems to be the default that female protagonist are lesbian or just never fuck at all.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey was especially jarring. Cutscene, suddenly you've had a kid. What?

Dreamfall Chapters, one of the three main protagonists you play as is a gay man.

I was thinking the same thing, I imagine there's an indie game or two out there but the dude bros probably aren't playing those. Celeste came to mind but that's not a gay protagonist so much as a trans one.

Celeste is also one of those games where the story has nothing to do with the character's sexuality, and you wouldn't know if you didn't look it up.

In Hades on the other hand, Zagreus is as bi as... an ancient Greek demigod, I suppose. You can romance a female Fury who loves strappy leather and whips, or the literal God of Death. Or both at the same time, even.

However I feel like those who could have judged it may have given it a free pass because, well, it is ancient Greece.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, how could I forget Hades. Kind of everything goes with him, though (I'm grateful how Dusa ends, haha). But yes, it is ancient Greece.

[–] evranch@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I have to admit I saw it through with Dusa partly because he's the only person who's nice to her at all, and partly because I was really hoping for a gratuitous pun about him "wanting to get some head" preferably delivered by Meg, lol

Last of Us 2? I think? I never played it, don’t have a PS

[–] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Ah! I feel so dumb I didn't think of that one, one of the best games ever.

[–] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

First one as well. Ellie is gay. Confirmed in the dlc for the first game, the last of us 2 has Ellie in a relationship with a bi woman and there's also a trans character in it.
