Do people who actually use wheelchairs RP as people who use wheelchairs?
Cause if I was in a wheelchair and playing D&D I would run like a motherfucker. Plus it isn't "ableist" if you are literally the dude in the chair.

Don't know about wheelchairs, but I know I wouldn't purposefully roleplay as a rogue who deals with depression and anxiety issues.
@icedquinn @alyx @MisterRogersSnapped Like one of the Metal Gears. You wake up from a coma, thoroughly atrophied.
@chuculate @icedquinn @alyx I'm not saying a choice made by a game dev to be inclusive. I am saying what choice does the person in the wheelchair make given the choice.
And yes everyone would choose different things, I get it. And I also think including something like that is an interesting and kind effort.

Thing is, it should make sense in the game world you're playing. For me it would make sense in something like Cyberpunk or Deus Ex, where you can have high-tech wheelchairs or exoskeletons/implants to help you do stuff, but not so much in fantasy settings like D&D.
i thought the intro to one of the wolfenstein games was interesting because you actually play a level in a wheelchair. nobody actually bothers to engage with disabilities in a meaningful way. although that game cops out with you getting a powersuit so they handwave the disability away after one segment.
