Guilty Gear and BlazBlue games! Bridget (no need to explain), Venom (he's a bread and butter gay, alright) Elphelt Valentine (would marry anyone), Jin Kisaragi (at least he acts as a brothersexual yandere). also, there are Zato=1 (might be bi) and Amane Nishiki (okay, he's a drag queen). and Tao (but she's simply fascinated by everything not only boobs).

also, ELONA and ELONA+. you could roleplay any orientation you like. you could marry even bike.

morolf: I've never heard of those games, so they can't be important. And most other users here didn't come up with much either.

isnt that just a platform game? what does lgbp has to do with it?

DoomSooth: You like what you like but why do the games have to have prominent characters like that? Nothing against it except that you're severely limiting your selection. I'm a little picky, myself, but not that picky. Since you like "metroidvania" games, maybe check out Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Not sure about the orientation of the characters. It's DRM-free, though.
yep it looks like an awesome game nice nominee , it has good rating too

my name is sadde catte: I'd say I was disappointed by some of the replies here, but I don't know why I expected better.

People like to be represented and such representations are few and far between. Personally I'll play whatever regardless.

It's safe to say that dtgreene is not limiting herself to only those games, but just wants to know if there are any games in that sort of vein. I don't think your fears of her limiting herself in that way should be a concern.

However, given the way several people in this thread have stated that they would never play anything with any prominent queer characters, I'd say your concerns do apply to them. I think it's safe to say the vast majority of queer people read/watch/play plenty of things with straight main characters, so it seems rather strange for a straight player to only want to play games with straight characters.
like to be represented? more like some attention seekers want to wave these minority flags + pushing agendas
this topic is clearly about those

oh, nope you are wrong we play at least i played some games with not straight champs, but i don't want to play activist agenda games which this topic is all about
and i care about the creators sexual identity so much i don't even know what their genders are or what they like, imho this is the normal healthy way
can't you find it sick to go search for games based on creators sexual identity? that is probably the most bigoted thing to do nowadays

First, it's "LGBT", not "lgbp".

Second, the main character has been confirmed, by the developer, to be transgender. Hence, we have a platform game where the main character just happens to be trans, and that is the sort of thing I'm interested in right now (even though her being trans doesn't affect the gameplay at all).

Beat Chapter 9, then look carefully at the ending. In other words, it actually is in the game; it's just not thrown in your face at all.

(Note that, if you just want to see this picture (and don't want to just look it up online), you could choose to use Assist Mode to negate the game's difficulty entirely.)

Dragon Quest 5: You *have* to enter into a straight marriage in order to continue the game at one point. (There are other games with marriages at some point in the plot, as well.)

(From a feminist perspective, DQ5 is actually rather disappointing after Dragon Quest 4, with its strong female characters (one of whom is literally strong; as in, her Strength stat is the highest of any party members, and she scores critical hits frequently).)

Edit: Why the low rating? (Also, I'm seeing a "high rating" on a post that definitely does not deserve it.)

That's a pretty specific request, and I'm sure such a game exists, DRM-free... but it couldn't get on GOG. ifyouknowwhatimean.

What exactly is the "straight agenda"?
Most people are heterosexual. You may object, but it's a basic fact of the world.

If by your criteria that's the case you put as example of such game, you can basically just play anything and imagine main character is trans (unless dev specifically told otherwise). Same thing.

dtgreene: Edit: Come on. Did this post *really* deserve a low rating?
Yes. There's a homophobic slur in the title.
No idea if this fits here, but Even the Ocean hasn´t been mentioned yet.

So if a game throws forced straight stuff at you, that is ok, because straight stuff is normal, but if a game throws forced lgbtq stuff at you, then that's an agenda, and is bad?

You can see how that sort of thinking automatically just shuts down anything other than hetero, right?

yep

but how can you force normal things? do creators put posts on twitter that they intentionally made a champ hetero because of their ideology?

still non-hetero is fine, forced non-hetero is not , fe why the lqgt champ hast to be positive
"and the game must not present them in a strictly negative or offensive light." ? that clearly is forced
I'm kinda curious about that as well, so please update the OP if you come up with any.

Don't see the problem. As I wrote I can accept homosexual characters in games, if they just state their sexual preferences and the rest of the sexual content is optional, but I don't want to be forced into playing something where it's more prominent. I'm not homosexual myself and have no interest in such themes. If other people want to play games exploring such issues, fine, I didn't say such games shouldn't be made.
Regarding transgenderism, I'm actually a bit more extreme since I don't believe in the concept itself. I would play a game with homosexual characters (if they're not just one-dimensional caricatures for promotion of their lifestyle) since I can still kind of understand homosexuality as a part of the human experience, but any game that portrays transgenderism in a positive manner will be totally boycotted by me (that's one of the reasons why I have zero interest in Cyberpunk 2077).
Anyway, that's all I'll say (probably already too much, I semi-expect to be banned for it given how restricted discussion has become in this forum).
