If you choose female, Mackay is shocked, saying that everyone was under the impression that you were a boy. It’s during this session that you’re given the option to choose your gender. As Kotaku points out, you play a few missions before getting to choose your character’s gender in The Fractured But Whole and it also seems to affect the way the game will treat you:
While this is sure to rub some the wrong way, it is common territory for the show and confirms that the game is following its predecessor in keeping the spirit of the show intact.Įlsewhere in the game, you’re asked to pick your gender and you end up getting another interesting choice that reflects another hot button topic. Polygon compares it to John Scalzi’s 2012 piece titled “ Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is,” only it doesn’t seem to actually effect the game in the same manner he puts forward. “Just every other aspect of your whole life.” “Don’t worry, this doesn’t affect combat,” narrator and South Park mascot Eric Cartman says during this segment. As the game will point out, it’s just a way to inject a little humor into a very real part of society that the show has focused on before according to Polygon: First comes race, which according to Eurogamer and Polygon, sets the difficulty for The Fractured But Whole - or at least that’s what the joke wants you to believe.
