    You guys obviousely didn*t read my post. I said that I personally encountered 90% female leaders. Idk about the whole game.
    I just noticed it somehow and found it a bit odd. And btw why is the word c-u-c-k-e-d cencored?

    2 out of the 3 faction leaders are male. Also lots of words get censored. Last time I checked *** got censored.

    Edit: yeah it still gets censored. You can use the quote function to view auto-censored words.

    Pointless thread. Op cries about something normal people wouldn't even care about, and is crearly wrong with his made up numbers.

    Because it's a stupid new word you alt-right man-babies use to dismiss anything that doesn't fit your narrow definition of "masculinity." Or do you not even understand your own chosen words?

    Absolutely. How else are you going to know what to get the guild leader as tribute? I doubt that the new female guild leader would be as impressed with the golf clubs you got for her male predecessor. ;)

    Without taking any headcounts, I admit that it initially felt a bit like female leaders were a little bit over-represented. But then it occurred to me that what I was comparing it to was the real world, the one where there's nowhere near 50/50 representation of women to men in leadership roles, despite the general population being a hair over 50/50 in women's favor. So I guess this game kinda represents what could (should?) be in the real world?

    Not to change the subject, but what I did find more perplexing was the idea that the game's ESRB rating was M. I really don't see the content that would have caused that, beyond some very veiled verbal innuendo, generally the same language you'd hear today on primetime broadcast TV, and references to the occasional gay relationship. Also, since you can't mod this game like you can in the previous stand-alone TES games, there's no overt visual content either, that would push the "mature" envelope. Am I missing something? Bethesda/ZOS also disagreed but didn't challenge the rating, so I guess I'm on the same page with them <g>

    ...that 90% of the leaders in this game are female? Thiefes Guild, Dark Brotherhood, all the Pirates, Fighters Guild, Aldmeri Dominion and those are the only ones i have encountered. Is this real or is the Aldmeri Dominion just the most *** alliance?

    Could be worse.... When i still played runescape, and they finally were going into more depth with the elder gods that made thw world. there was a mix, then they decided to retcon the elder gods to be all female for political correctness. The same nonsense each time "We're trying to be inclusive by being exclusive! Not enough females? Make them all not male instead!"

    Really though, i don't think this game actually has a problem with that regard.

    hmmm..... a problem with women this one has.

    That does not mean he has a problem with women, but come on he has a point it does seem forced.

    They like giving their fans fan-service, or they are just simply characters. Let's let Occam's Razor figure out this great mystery for us ;D

    I don't think so. The characters all feel pretty natural in their positions actually.

    I've seen much worse. The SJWs and PC police made a real mess of things over the last decade or so. Trust me. It's pretty obvious when the show or movie or whatever had to shoehorn in a character to satisfy them because they usually go out of their way (repeatedly) to make sure you know without a doubt that the character is whatever it is the show needed to fill the checkbox.
