Initial Research 9

I have decided that the best theme would probably be more dystopian, or a seeming utopia that actually isn't, depending on who you are. This would provide more basis for a conflict of ideas and people. I have also looked into how to approach characters whose whole story doesn't revolve around their sexuality or gender orientation, as a lot of media bases that as the entire story of the character.although it is definitely a big part of the individuals character development, it doesn't have to be the only aspect of the character that's portrayed. For example, Dorian's (DAI) side quests show that his family disapprove of the fact that he's gay, and were planning to use blood magic in order to make him more "acceptable" so he left. This story line provides an added layer of depth to his character and let's the player discover more about the character and the views of his family and those around him, adding more depth in turn to the world and further immersing the player. This also occurs in Krem's story where it is discovered that he is a trans man. Another game which tackles these issues well is persona 4. These characters are first introduced through different parts of their character-mainly how they fight and whose side they're on, and more is discovered as the characters get closer to them.
