That's exactly what they've done.

It isn't just what the content is but how it is presented.

The pronoun scene in DAV is incredibly preachy and that sort of thing just really irritates a lot of people.

Is that the barv thing?

Yes

There are other scenes as well

When someone tells me to refer to them as them then I start referring to it as it

The pronouns are now It/It's

Thanks for the video link. It doesn't feel preachy to me, but felt a bit forced how a different character decided to correct you. Poorly written and presented is mostly how it comes across for me. The barv thing also never felt preachy to me (IIRC), it seemed like a nice addition to the lore about how an apology has to mean something. If they didn't use it elsewhere, I feel like they missed a trick. Could have had an minor clumsy NPC decide they like the idea and that they'd copy it, then have them make an appearance at the end/later on and make them much bigger because they keep breaking things :cry:

Makes me think of the scene in the latest top gun film where if they lose to maverick in a dog fight they end up doing push ups.

It's still up on steam for pre order.

(Why is it tagged on steam with LGBTQ?)

Not sure but probably contains a character who is LGBTQ.

Do we know if Sweet Baby Inc involved in this game?

They are not to the best of the information that is out there.

Avowed has got its own issues though.
