From my understanding of physics, "a linear extrapolation" of our knowledge of the universe doesn't lead to instant fast travel by end of this century. Yet Bethesda didn't ask space engineers how fast they think spaceships might go in the period the game takes place, and prevented the player from going faster.
Yeah but my point is that most ‘anti-woke’ criticism of diversity in medieval fantasy settings is stuff like how it doesn’t make sense for a small village to be ethnically diverse, or complaints that the demographics of the Northern Kingdoms were altered dramatically by Netflix or whatever. This can extend to stuff like the Elder Scrolls or Dragon Age that have settings loosely inspired by medieval Europe.
But complaining about diversity in a game set in 2330 seems…misguided. Whether @grognard likes it or not, it doesn’t really seem far fetched for Starfield to have a diverse “racial makeup”, so I’m interested in what offends him about it.
A broken clock can still be right twice a day. If these racist companies enjoy erasing white people from everything, eventually they'll get lucky and strike upon a fiction where it's plausible.
Doesn't change that I already know they are racist and don't wish to give them my money.
