So would you wanna live there or what?

[Evil]

Definitely a negative view on most mods, especially if you're an Ausar. It's fine if you want to change your dick or vagina for something a little more exotic, but you will face discrimination or worse if you decide to go for something more extreme like a full canine appearance, like Emmy tells you.

@NotYouNorI is right that it's a corporate dystopia. Steele is just lucky enough to be someone in the highest social strata. They won't necessarily see the worst of it.

We should be glad we're not on the bottom of the barrel of the social construct, who knows how people would feel if you started the game as just a random bloke instead of Steele.

I don't see how the game's format and much of it's current content would work or adapt to such a thing, as I don't think it would be all that fun playing a rusher without tricky vic's post-death safety net.

Playing some random motherfucker who just lives in the TiTS verse, perhaps in a game more styled after some massive bastardization of Sims, would be fun.

Well, I figured the whole story would be different were you some random person.

Indeed it sounds fun, luckily Savin is making a TiTS tabletop rulebook, though I am unsure how far its rules extend to. Could be fun playing a random shmuck.

 

[ScarletteKnight]

I would personally prefer not being tied to SteeleTech and Victor. That and the multiplayer aspect, especially with my friends' builds, have really drawn me to the TiTS tabletop idea.

Didn't Embry's folks have something against her being trans?

Pops burned the dress Embry made while momma cried.

So... not supportive. That story made me fork over a 5k tip. And put a little sand in my eyes.

As for living there? Err... I'm not sure how I'd feel having a face full of alien wing wong. If I was lucky, I'd be some female Ausar's lap pet. That'd be cool.

 

[Woider]

How Terran of them.

Edit: Rather lose a son than have a daughter, eh? smh

 

[sumgai]

How Terran of them.

If I remember correctly their species was a result of a Terran experiment... wonder if the eggheads in charge left them a 'guide' to civilization. Not someone from the Church of the One God, but something er... closeminded...? Is that a enough of a walking on eggshells statement? Going to have to read up on their codex.

I feel weird about Embry. I want her to be happy, but I don't want her to feel indebted to me, so I never take it further. Like when I paid off Yammi's or Reaha's contracts, I didn't think I'd get them on my crew. o.o

 

[Kesil]

From the codex:

"They are traditional in nature, and very resistant to cultural influence. [...] Family ties run deep, and being a simii outcast is the worst form of punishment [...] very strict gender roles. This has lead to a number of dissatisfied simii youths finding their way into galactic society, trying to change their lot in life."

Other than that, I won't repeat myself.

This has lead to a number of dissatisfied rural youths finding their way into urban society, trying to change their lot in life."

If only I could find some kind of blatantly obvious parallel...

Well now you're being crazy, because we all know that there is no kind of parallel to that kind of situation.

Given that around 95% of the population is female/female-looking, the answer would be a resounding no. The galaxy seems to have turned too female-centric over the centuries.

The fully anthro TF's are still be a temptation, tho. Still, they seem quite expensive. Given that I'm a bit neurotic about money, that's not a good thing. (In high school, I usually transcripted, manually of course, over 10 pages of text to prevent speding $0.25 on photocopies).

Money would be a temptation for getting me on the Rush, but as said, being stuck with XX century English, and not having nanomachines or genetic improvements don't play on my favor. Still, since I don't mind working with shady corporations (unlike most people), I'll gladly support any of them on plundering new-discovered planets, but most of time, as a frontier version of your average boring stuff (paperwork, security, etc) or as direct support of a corporate crew. Or, I could hit the gyms, ignore the airheads, and slowly (very slowly) but sure, try my luck out there.

But still, if I could turn back after getting my body improvements and full TF stuff, I'll do in a hearbeat. The big, cold space isn't a nice place to live.

I want to assume that's just the part we see

I'd like to live in a galaxy with a reversed percentage. A man can dream.

 

[XBoxMaster131]

Well, keep in mind that's only what we've seen of it so far, and the only reason for that is because of the lack of m/m content being written.

 

[Kesil]

lack of m/m content

So much for straight females and bisexual males!
This reminds me of the many times I thought of what would I do in CoC's Mareth and having had thoughts of keeping Ceraph as a shapeshifting fuckbuddy, bringing the minitaur son, a hellhound companion and the musical satyr to the camp or asking Lottie or Ro'gar whether they could be so kind of letting me meet with guys their own race.

 

[NotYouNorI]

Given that around 95% of the population is female/female-looking,

There are plenty of male/masculine characters mentioned in the background and not interactable. Except for Myrellion which IS actually like 85% female/feminine because that's how the myr and nyrea are.

 

[EmperorG]

The only race that really bucks the general female-centric ratio, that is also important on the galactic stage, is the Anatae. I don't think we've even met a female one yet, all the ones I can remember were male, and from what I remember a lot of male-heavy races have congregated under Anatae sovereignty. So their turf is where all the men have gone, if you want a lot of men go live in the Anatae Empire, their rather less-corporate focused governing policies already make them a good choice for other reasons too.

 

[Sorel]

I would like to go in the TITSverse just for testing the TF you can't have in game like multiarm, the galotian endless shapes, I would surely work for some TF company and work for improving TF and not having relatively random result.

 

[Woider]

Not sure they sound all that much better. Replacing Plutocracy with Imperial governance and militarism is more of a side-grade, in my opinion.

 

[Freed85]

Neither of them would be perfect that's for sure, but isn't that why people become mercenaries, space truckers, smugglers etc. so they don't have to stick to one place all the time. Even more so when you are the captain of your own ship as at that point you have the closest thing to legitimate freedom possible.

 

[EmperorG]

While normally true, the Anatae thankfully seem to have a real focus on good social policies, as seen by their efforts to liberate the Fhan'i from slavery to the Kalabast and also making sure both species got along on a more equitable level. Their militarism is more to insure that their communities stay safe, not to bully people around them for stuff. From what I understand, as long as you're not a criminal, and you just wanna live a normal life, Anatae society doesn't really care and will do its best to keep you out of harms way. Certainly more effort than the U.G.C. would put it, that's for sure.

That's a fair point.

The U.G.C. is a confederacy after all, I'm sure local authorities do most of the legwork when it comes to domestic issues. Kinda like the EU. Unless they're (UNATCO) all in the pockets of some evil MegaCorp (VersaLife), or shady shadow government (Majestic 12).

There's also Semith's race, forgot what they're called, but they no longer have females.

 

[JDeko]

I mean I could just take a bunch of Ausar Treats and not care if I ended up full Ausar [though I'd rather have furless limbs] my main fear would be feminizing TFs and not growing boober or a vagoober.

 

[Reptillicus]

I dunno... maybe? if I lived on the station that doesn't sound so bad.
