YMMV / Deadlands: The Weird West

• Broken Base:
  • The removal of the Confederacy from the setting: necessary and natural change, or Political Overcorrectness?
  • Some believe the game didn't go far enough in updating some of its more questionable elements.
    • The choice to continue using "Indian" to refer to Native Americans and "Manitou" to refer to demons. The former was justified by consulting with Native American experts as a non-pejorative and period appropriate while the latter was referred to as a result of racism on the part of whites. Many fans felt they could have changed this anyway.
  • The fact Utah remains independent of the United States despite the fact that the South is now conclusively defeated.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The destruction of the Confederacy is something that many players felt would have made an excellent Plot Point campaign for time traveling PCs.
