That happening because the RMP & RM having their storyline..
The roommate is dependent on your character's gender. If your mc is male, the roommate is male and vice versa.
I know, I wrote about an option to choose roommate's partner(gf/bf) gender. Not roommate's gender.
Dependent on what you are attracted to and what your gender is. Roommates partner will always be attracted to you and attractive to you.
Why can't the the gender that PC doesn't like try to interact with them? You can stop their advances pretty easily.Ie I d like the roommate to have a bf and for my PC to totally ignore them both from the start, but to do so I need to make pc bi and do several (usually a lot) of restarts.
Because it's more annoying to the player if you say you're not interested in x and for them to flirt with you anyway. They are writing content that they want players to play and that's not likely to happen and more likely to just annoy the player to have for example a lesbian being hit on by a guy. That would kill an entire possible storyline before it starts.(that goes with other possible orientations and genders).
There are options to choose some characters genders already, there are options for "bad situations" and etc, so this setting we are talking about would be totally optional too. By default things should stay the same. But again, imo it is too sterile and unrealistic scenario that PC is hard coded to be surrounded only by possible love interests without much customization. I mean, we can choose BFF gender, why can't we choose other important character's gender?
I just don't get why anyone would want the dev to default to putting in content that you'd dislike. I really like that the game respects that I'm a lesbian and not trying to throw guys at me. That's rare.
You can play the game in different scenarios. You can play the game where all existing major characters are for your liking, that's fine. But there are different game styles, some players may want the PC to overcome some obstacles, and not be thrown into pre-desined setting full exclusively with love interests (like for lesbian PC in many cases ALL teachers are female. Imo it is just way too unnatural... It's okay if you want it, but if you don't, you can't really change that, - why there is even a gender slider then?).
I get what you're saying, I share that philosophy but not completely. A realistic world would include an even share of straight women/men, a few LGBT characters, which should behave accordingly to their orientations, hitting/rejecting the MC accordingly on how you created him/her.
Ive had teachers of multiple genders without putting my character as bi so I'm pretty sure that's not affected by your orientation the only characters genders that changes are the ones in the select special characters gender section in the world generation options. You can see what gender a teacher is before choosing them just pick the major with the gender you want.
The talk was related to the RMP & RM (roommate & partner)..
I think part of the complaint is the game is partway designed to be the opposite of that as it gives you sliders that explicitly don't let you 0 or 100% the demographics and overrules what was picked for the characters which presumably the player chose because that was what they wanted. Forced orientation is a kink people have. Another thing to keep in mind is the life-sim aspects of the gameplay. If the game was just about porn I'd need to look up what the fetish for managing daily chores and hygiene is and if breaking out a day planner is considered part of the foreplay.
First time i hear of it..
