EDIT: And I see someone couldn't keep her limbs attached, dammit woman I just fixed that.
(Well "just"... I've been waiting on them fixing the game before finishing it off but I suppose that's not going to happen but they improved things a little bit further with this last patch at least. )

No at all.. decades ago dying before 50 was far more common. Yer lucky to get to 70 since we have such great biotechnology to keep you alive longer. Mind you, living is ONE THING but existing is another. Quality of Life or WTF is the point?

Forced diversity that gives birth to characters like the horribly written transgender from Mass Effect: Andromeda, that's a great way to represent LGBT, right? Even more important is to brag about the diversity in your game. But I wouldn't expect much from Harvey Smith anyway, he has shown us what a true PC gamer he is at Dishonored 2's launch when he didn't know his GPU but was talking about good performance.
That's the sad part. That is supposedly become a selling point. I seriously doubt most people play games based on "diversity". Witcher 3? I ain't playing that cuz i can't play as a black trans.
Sure.
All made to please a group of people who don't even play games.

I don't think people of those particular groups don't play games, their groups are just smaller by comparison so, naturally, they don't represent a huge percentage of the consumers. I don't mind diversity, I actually like it, makes things more interesting as well as it's done right. We live in an era when we should be open minded and we shouldn't be bothered by these things. What I do mind is diversity being advertised as a selling point which makes me believe that diversity is there as a political tool, not as a storytelling instrument or the actual vision of the creator and that's worrisome to say the least.
The sexual orientation doesn't make a character interesting, the writing makes a character interesting. But I guess we live in the days of stealth racism, where people are judged by their group and not by the content of their character.

But that's just the thing, i'm not bother by it. If for example a character (main/side/whatever) is well written and the writing makes it believable he's gay/woman/race whatever, its great cuz you get an interesting character, especially since it ties into the overall story.
But lately there HAS to be diversity, no matter the quality, or else people are pissed off. I find it extremely insincere, since its used as a marketing tool and not much else.
I wasn't even bothered about the woman in this, since i though she was an interesting character even in Dis2. But now after reading this i find it all really stupid. The world in Dishonored is completely made up, so what exactly are we supposed to take away from playing a black invalid woman? First of all she's not really an invalid, since she's has almost superpowers. Does the fact she's black have any implications in the Dishonored world? Nope. Woman? Nope. Haven't really noticed racism or sexism in the Dishonored universe (and i played everything). So here we have devs boasting about putting a black invalid woman in the lead and all there it is....is a skin. An avatar for the player. Unless they make some kind of backstory for her in which her blackness or the fact that she's an invalid play a prominent part its pointless. The story is a protagonist (whatever) trys to kill the Outsider. The END.
That's why it pisses me off when they start boasting about their diversity in their games where all they do is change a skin. I never even though about why the protagonist is a woman, black and invalid (the last one i forgot), i though oh she was in Dis2, all mysterious and she's one of Daud's badasses. Cool character to play. Now i'm starting to wonder if there's not some kind of political bullshit going on in a stupid game. That's the part i hate.
I never asked myself why am i playing a black man in GTA4, i never asked "wait a minute why am i playing a woman in Lara Croft" since that's the way things were. The same goes for literature. Why is Madame Bovary about a woman? Or Anna Karenina what's that all about?
The author decided to write about that and if he was successful he/she created a very interesting and deep character, not because it was popular and he would appease a small group of people but because he wanted to tell that story.
Now we have people complaining about lack of diversity in historical movies etc., for diversity's sake. For fuck sake.
