Who's to say that female target isn't a serial killer? A genocidal maniac? A Nazi?

Whereas the male target is the sole provider for 12 NPChildren who regularly gives to charity and separates his recycling from landfill waste?

Will no-one think of the children?

Yes and on top of that... male pixels already have a very hard time in games. Everybody always kills them. Much more than female pixels.

It's a game for fart's sake. It's amazing how so many people are unable to cope with this rather simple concept that videogames (or movies, books, etc) and reality are not the same thing.

Next thread: "killing [insert specific race here] NPCs is unsavoury".

Dear Frontier,

Please implement a social regression slider to give us variables for how far women are allowed out of the kitchen. It's unsavoury to see them doing the same roles as men in a sci-fi, futuristic setting computer game. I for one am confused that the 20th century happened, and would quite like it if we can also include children in game too - but please make sure they're seen and not heard. Or at least give us a child-mute toggle in the menu options.

Can I have a slider so woman NPC or toons can not kill me :) It makes me uncomfortably dead.

I would also like a slider so that men NPC or toons can not kill me :) It makes me uncomfortable dead.

A friend of the family is one of the highest ranked woman in our armed forces, I am pretty sure she could do serious damage in several ways just for suggesting this.

I've got a better suggestion. How about a slider in the forums which lets you regulate the amount of stupid threads shown?

God, this is even better than the "I feel offended by slavery being in the game" thread we had a while back. Added to my collection of favourite threads. :D

I just want to make it clear about what I'd posted before. I am not offended that slavery is in the game. If there was no slavery in the game then I wouldn't be able to fight it

I was hoping that the OP would see the sense in my post, that if there is something that you don't want to do in the game... then don't do it

Dear FDEVS,

Please can we have something like a 'Slider' tool in setings whereby we can select the gender of targets in Kill Missions?

The slider could be a percentage slider with 0% in the middle and 100% at either end, eg: (MALE 100%..........0..........100% FEMALE). Zero means an equal spawn rate of male and female NPC kill targets, whether they be mission targets, security patrol, or scavengers that need to be killed in the mission.

That way we can feel better about killing or murdering Female NPC's, or not killing female NPC's at all.

Can we be able to select the gender percent spawn mix that we kill?... only in missions where killing is a part of the mission (including CZ if in Solo mode); all other missions could remain as normal with regard to the rates of males and females spawned.

The idea of killing women is very unsavoury to me and a bit off putting, and surely I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

Surely there is no reason why we MUST be forced to kill female characters when something like a slider selector can be used as described above.
It would make the game more enjoyable to know that as a man you will be killing only male NPC's if you don't like killing women - it feels better, but we would be able to choose with a slider or similar.

Many players don't even like the idea of killing at all, which is common knowledge I think. And for many of those players the idea of killing women will probably be even more unlikeable. And as Odyssey seems to have a lot of killing, these potential players may be able to buy into Odyssey more easily rather than shun it if they new they could choose the gender of the kill targets that the game will spawn for them.
And women players may also not like the idea of killing a particular gender and may welcome the ability to set their choice too.

The difference between Odyssey and Horizons is that in Horizons you are killing 'Ships' whether they were piloted by male or female NPC's and you don't get to see the NPC's at all... but now in Odyssey you can be looking into their faces as you shoot them dead up close. This change in the 'Killing Mechanics' for Odyssey was significant enough to increase the age rating of the game.
Who you kill, and how you kill is no insignificant thing as I'm sure you fully appreciate.

What do other readers think of the 'Slider Chooser' solution? It is a simple setting to implement.

Thanks for reading this.

You need to look at your biases. Regardless of sex, race, gender, religion, nationality, everybody is a human being.
Second point. Its. a. game.

Oh and your slider suggestion? All that would do is allow misanthropes and misogynists to kill only women if they wanted to.

But your post was a troll right? I cant beleive something so ridiculous is for real. Oh and FD please give me a slider that allows me to kill only cute little bunnies and puppies, and blood, i want more blood.

So are you saying that, if in real life, a woman had a gun and was trying to kill you and you also had a gun, that you would not consider defending yourself, either by wounding her or killing her if there was no other choice?

Sod that. If anyone was trying to kill me, I'd try my best to fight back regardless of their gender (and that includes these so called non gender people too.)

I too find depictions of violence against wimminz distasteful and unpleasant.

Salamiwashing it isn't my politics though. It's kind of sexist. Why is there no stun setting?

As translations go (I assume its a translation) this is one of the better ones. I am not sure what word you were after with Salamiwashing but LOL :LOL:
