We've already tackled the idea of games being racist here on Game/Show, but what about the characters that populate them? That's right, those lovely people you get to talk to that send you on your grand quest, the NPCs. Our interactions with them are often all too brief, but is that an excuse for lazy game design that invokes stereotypes? Join Jamin in this week's Game/Show as we figure it out!
