However, there is one thing that I think IS either pandering or it at least displays a rather odd mindset in the game: The characterization of women (and minorities) vs white men. Simply put, almost every effective or heroic character is ieither black or a woman (Or both) and every white guy is either ineffective, well intentioned but useless, or evil. Seriously. Main villian? White man. Origin of robot plague? Corporate White man. Person who saved the world? Environmental Woman. World saving ai? Black lady. Evil Ai? Created by womanizing white man and has male voice. Main character? Woman. Evil guard and temporary captain of the guard in starting village? White man. Kid who threw rocks at Aloy when she was a child and was a general asshole to her until he got murdered? White man. Person who identified with her and comforted her after the asshole was mean to her? Black girl. Actual captian of the guard who everyone admires and who gets shit done? Black lady. Captain of the guard in the main city, who everyone likes? Woman. Her brother? Drunk womanizer who only gets his shit together because his sister tells him to before dying. Well meaning but basically completely ineffectual sunking who only got into power because previously spoken of female captian of the guard helped him? White guy. Destroyer of the entire repository of human knowledge? White guy. Person who saved the exiled sun prince? Aloy and a Black Lady. Sun Prince's mother who shielded him from the influence of the main bad guy? Black lady.

Really it just goes on and on. I'm not sure if it was intentional, because it's not universal. Rost, your father figure, is a good guy, but also fairly brow beaten by Aloy a lot of the time and just gives in to her demands without much resistance. Sylence (SP?) is a black guy with a pretty complex personality and questionable morality, but is over all still good for Aloy, even though he caused a lot of problems in the past. But overall, there's a pretty obvious pattern in the way a lot of the characters I've come in contact with are portrayed. It's hard to tell if they did it like that for a particular reason or if it just the result of their mindset.
