Homer Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Quote Parvati from Outer Worlds is asexual and that's great! We look at what exactly asexuality is, why diversity is important to create interesting characters and why positive representations of asexuality in games is especially important.

Forest Spirit Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Haven't played the game myself but am happy to hear that the representation has been done so well and is also well received! Hope for more like this in the future🙂 Link to post Share on other sites
frostboot Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I can't believe I've never even heard of this game, it looks really cool! Bought it on impulse and I'm downloading it now so let's hope it's good. Link to post Share on other sites

(A) & A Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 As an asexual, the feeling of seeing a character who's asexuality isn't portrayed as a flaw or something weird was nice. The fact I had the ability to say "me too" was even better. Link to post Share on other sites
AceMissBehaving Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I love Parvati and the story behind her. Being able to interact with a character I genuinely related to, and being given dialogue options which actually represented me on the subject of relationships, and life experiences for the first time in my life was an oddly powerful moment.

Kimmie. Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I really need to get this game soon. Link to post Share on other sites
frostboot Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I've played quite a lot of this game now and honestly it's great. I love Parvati to bits and not only does she mention being told she's cold and feeling lonely because of her asexuality, but you can bond over it, all while overthrowing the corrupt capitalist government with a gun that can shrink people to like half their size.
