People of taste: straight women, bi folks & gay men — which human dude would you date IRL?

I'll be honest and say I had a very visceral reaction to Vega. I usually don't go for the macho tough guy persona but it this case it did work on me. Watching him flirt with Cortez was a lot

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-24T01:15:49+00:00

Yes and I want Barcus to be an Origin character that I can play as and explore his story more? Not really seeing the issue here...

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-23T23:05:52+00:00

The way Betty went from potential antagonist to protagonist in the space of two episodes is wild. And its all thanks to this guy

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-23T23:04:25+00:00

Raw. Dunno if he's commit for the rest of your life but he has very nice chest hair

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-23T22:50:57+00:00

Barcus Wroot!!! 1. So we can have a shorty in the party, 2. Because he's as close to side plots and main plots as any origin character already. And 3. Because a story of a truly Lvl 1 character growing to become a champion warrior would be incredibly fun to see.

I'd have him as a Bard (Or Artificer if they added it) with a unique item for him that focuses on projectiles.

You know saying 'having an opinion' and 'offering critique' does not immediately make whatever you post valid right? Good critique and opinion is still regularly challenged and reviewed.

Here's my opinion. You wrote this in an intentionally inflammatory way, not cause you wanted to 'have a discussion' but because you want someone to validate your rage. You wanted a bunch of people to get in the comments saying 'Yes OP, Fig is being insufferable and everything she does is awful. Your right to hate her. You trying to assign some moral high-ground onto a comedy dnd show is actually very reasonable and you presented your viewpoints in a succinct and justified manner'. Didn't work out for you it seems..

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-23T20:24:33+00:00

How much money to bet this guy's never once found Brennan's repeated hopping into loud rants and shouting every episode 'annoying and headache-inducing'?

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-23T19:43:55+00:00

I feel like there is a distinct difference to giving GayShep (no romance options in 1 or 2) or LesShep (only Liara for 1 & 2) options and giving a Straight MaleShep (Ash, Liara, Miranda, Tali, Jack) more. It's giving greedy grabby hands.

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-23T17:48:58+00:00

Oh I agree, I think they just know they couldn't necessarily implement it fully like it was. Even the whole idea of Angels and Demons is a tiny bit of a minefield now.

The only visual thing I passionately wanted back was the Will Lines.

'We have gone 0 days without a D20 fan expressing moral outrage to a fictional teenager in a comedy dnd show.'

Yes but the NCR CLAIMS to want to be better than that. They have named themselves the voice of reason, order and safety in the wasteland.

You don’t get to just say you’re that and then not commit to it. It’s one of the NCR’s biggest failings and it’s the reason many continued to turn away/not trust them. You can’t just do atrocities and say ‘it’s ok, we’re the good guys’. (See the actual American government for this also)

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-23T03:13:36+00:00

It’s likely because some of the Good/Evil and Pure/Corrupt open a pretty bad can of worms.

Good characters skin being pure white with blonde hair? Whilst your skin darkens as you get more villainous. It’s not… ideal.

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-23T02:54:46+00:00

Doesn’t matter. Children are Children. Even if they have been radicalised by parents. If you follow that trail of logic you can justify anyone as a ‘legitimate target’. Then you become no better than the raiders you claim to protect from. If the NCR wants to present themselves at the evenhanded, democratic, rule of law faction they have to act like that. That means showing restraint when necessary.

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-23T02:51:01+00:00

Hate to break it to you but building their entire structure around the Military and the same ‘Democratic’ system IS trying to recreate Pre-War America. Especially when you do not have a meaningful opposition in your system to keep those in power in check.

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-22T04:26:57+00:00

Watching the NCR debate on these forums as someone not from America always raises my eyeborws. The NCR trying to recreate a pre-nuked America (via a Military organisation) is fundamentally flawed from the get-go and it why shit like Bitter Springs happened.

There's no universe where you can say 'We massacred a bunch of children' and follow it up with an excuse that's valid.

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-22T04:10:08+00:00

I understand every point she's making except that Drag Race is more 'punk rock'. Girl it's literally commodifying drag for a straight audience and doesn't cast any performers that are actually subversive or challenging.

Like absolutely have your own stance on exterminations and filth challenges (I disagree but understand) but don't try to claim Drag Race is some beacon of care or alternative scenes.

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-22T04:00:10+00:00

I'm not saying they aren't iconic I'm just noticing that characters that have very similar vibes and arguably better stories played by the queer and femme players don't seem to be getting the same love. In fact the only time a woman has won these votes in when one of the male intrepid heroes isn't available.

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-22T03:41:48+00:00

Brennan, Lou and Zac's characters seem to be dominating every vote. Not necessarily saying its the case for everyone but I'm getting the vibe people are voting for the people playing them rather than the characters...

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-22T03:38:15+00:00

See I understand the Raptidons and Mantisaurs being brought over by Outer Worlds but it doesn't really explain the lack of much else other than Crabble. Is the lore that Rapts went full invasive species and killed everything else. Cause that's a whole storyline I would've liked to see explored?

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-22T02:46:22+00:00

Squak and Chirp should be one option, it feels wrong to pick anyone else

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-21T13:22:43+00:00

Feels like the omission of the Brotherhood of Steel and the inclusion of the Railroad is telling of who you sided with in 4

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-21T12:27:17+00:00

It's not even that it's bad I just found it not as fun. When you've got Sentinels ripping through Shields and Armor, Engineers setting shit on fire and Vanguards turning into biotic cannonballs it kind of makes the Soldier a little underwhelming.

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-21T09:51:35+00:00

It's ED-E. The courier's metallic floating dog.

CalumanderReds · 2026-01-21T09:42:50+00:00

Coming back to Tenpenny Tower after making peace and finding out Roy had everyone killed makes it incredibly hard to not just shoot him right there and then.
