    JohnDM got a reaction from Starscade in Far Harbor...getting Started question   
    Hey, all.
    Tried Far Harbor last night (solo).
    When it says "Add (star)"....what do they mean? It's not listed as a quest action in the manual...do I just put a star anywhere on the board? 
    Thanks,

    Why has nobody mentioned an even more serious matter: that of sexual harassment?
    Surely touching the female miniature without her expressed permission constitutes gross sexual harassment and shouldn't be allowed. I for one will not touch the female miniature in Fallout until she specifically gives me permission.

    Seriously? this is your concern about the game?
    we happen to have a 100% Male group, not one issue was raised when one of us has to play the female character in the game ... or any other game, such as Eldritch Horror .. in Fact we quite often go with female characters in Horror as they seem to have the better advantages. thinking back even with Cluedo who cared who was Miss Scarlet or Mrs White?? can't help but feel the SJW are getting everywhere
    My Point, its Just a game, if someone looks at a playing piece and says "I can't possibly play that character, its a different sex to me" i think that says more about the player than the game

    I'm suspect the OP is trolling, which makes me wonder how this thread was even allowed to post, considering that every post I make is being policed by moderators...
     
    but I'd like to chime in, if that is okay.
     
    I mean, if I was an SJW, I would be in all caps right now "did you just assume the gender of the BOS and the Super Mutant characters?!"
    I am not an SJW, just an avid fan of the Fallout Universe.
    I use caps(not the currency, the other kind of caps) for emphasis, not anger.
    This game has
    The Vault Dweller, who is clearly male.
    The Wastelander, who is clearly female
    The BOS Outcast, whose gender is not visible, considering that the BOS has both males and females and they both look exactly the same in the power armor and there are several prominent female BOS characters in across all the games who all wear power armor.
    The Ghoul, who is clearly male, but also a ghoul...although, it IS established in the video games that ghouls do have working...parts... and there are even ghoul prostitutes to cater to certain people's "preferences"
    and The Super Mutant, whom as others above have already stated is androgynous and sterile. Several super mutants in the video games have asserted their gender. one(I belive its name is Fawkes, you find it in Fallout 3) claims to be female and explains that male and female super mutants look the same. while in new vegas, you find a super mutant companion that is female and talks like a granny and wears a granny wig to express her gender.  however, given that they are sterile, I'm leaning toward the idea that the majority of super mutants are gender neutral or genderless and they themselves, do not have gender expression in their society as most of them don't even remember their lives as humans and probably don't even know what sex they were to begin with.
     
     
    so, what we have is
    NOT
    4 males,
    1 female,
     
    WE HAVE
    1 male
    1 female
    1 undeclared
    1 neuter
    1 walking corpse, formerly male, possibly with working male plumbing...
     
    I would say that's actually pretty diverse and progressive, IMO.
    I mean, the ghoul DOES start off vilified, so people in the wasteland might not be as open minded as I am,but hey.
