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: South Park The Fracture But Whole will be released for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One on December 5, 2016.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. You’re a girl! But now they’re going to treat you different.

It’s been a funny journey to go through, introducing something that we thought would just be a cool feature. The game doesn’t really react that much differently. But the game doesn’t treat you that differently. I made the character look like my wife, just because I thought that was funny, running around New York shooting people looking like my wife. I’m also playing The Division – I’m not just saying that because it’s Ubisoft. It actually turned out to be quite a bit more work. Are they dumb about it, and they don’t know? So you’re in hiding? Or do they totally care about that, and totally treat you differently? So we ended up doing those things differently for different characters. They always seemed to care about it in the show. So they don’t care about ? That seems weird. This time, we obviously wanted to add that.īut the boys are little boys, because it’s really a story about little boys running around. And then someone’s like, “What if you want to be a girl?” Narratively, it didn’t work. In Stick of Truth we got halfway through the game, and we had narratively come up with the big Girls’ Quest halfway through it. In The Fractured But Whole, the player character will be able to be a girl, although this will have some consequences on the way the other characters treat you. Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker explain that this was due to a side quest in the game, where you are tasked with infiltrating the “girl” faction.

While there were quite a few customization options, gender was not one of them. In South Park: The Stick of Truth, you played as the “new kid,” a boy who has just moved into the town of South Park. Naturally, the South Park boys will treat you differently if you play as a girl.
