This. No one avoids this. TOTK, RE4 Remake, D4, BG3. AC6 will have it, Starfield will have it. Expect dozens of threads, the love ones, hate, comfy, shitposting, the "too many threads" threads, the woke threads the anti woke threads all with no real talking points.
>game I like GOOD
No, but a game doesn't need to take over a third of the board for no reason because the lovers/haters can't contain themselves then you have the third type of people who flood the board with either thread to just stir shit up.
That is all good means, yes
D4 is legit bad tho, it's so repulsive that the D4 general thread on /vg/ died from inactivity despite the new season JUST starting
Then let it die, not fill half the catalog anyways.
It was on /vg/, not Ganker. D4 threads on Ganker are just to point and laugh at the Blizzpiggies.
Dragons Dogma 2 will turn the tides.
I hope too as well but I wonder, if the devs couldn't get the full fledged Dragons Dogma 1 what hopes does the second one has when the industry is so israeliteed all over the place?

You would never understand
Zoomers don't understand subtle things like camaraderie, male bonding over a cause, brotherhood and no homosexual bromance.
They are emotions of a different time, a more civilized age.
>lead a guy on
I don't even know how to do that as a man
>>lead a guy on
Gays are 1% of the population and you can totally tell when someone is, there's no fricking chance of accidentally "leading a man on"
homosexual
Don't sign your posts.
This is like how people see stoners. Everyone thinks all stoners are the same and they can immediately clock a stoner when they see one, not considering all the times they saw a stoner and didn’t know it cause they didn’t look like a stoner. You’ve met and interacted with gay people far more than you realise, some of them were probably very positive interactions.
This is a tired cope from 2010. You can literally always tell.
You’re too stupid to realise the reason you think you can always tell is because you’ll never be aware of the moments when you can’t tell
literal survivorship bias, bro
You're moronic.
>Gays are 1% of the population and you can totally tell when someone is, there's no fricking chance of accidentally "leading a man on"
Anons on Ganker can't even fricking tell when a woman is into them until they're looking back on their school years decades later, you think they'd notice when a homosexual is coming onto them?
Yes, because nature has ingrained a gay detector into everyone, if you can't tell whos a gay from who isn't thats a you problem and you were probably subverted
Because unlike women, gay men can't afford to be subtle
t. homosexual
oh no you might miss your 5th one night stand this week, get a real relationship gay
Yes, but gays are mentally ill hypersexuals, literally everything is leading on for them.
>Yes, but gays are mentally ill hypersexuals
No, all men are.
It's true. All men are coomers at heart.
>1%
Why does this number keep fluctuating? Make up your damn minds.
gays keep dying to aids and trannies keep killing themselves
I'll give you the actual answer. It's because no one really knows the exact percentage and will never know.
monkeypox didnt become a pandemic so gay numbers are miniscule
Monkeypox was a nothingburger.
>Talk to man
>Female writer immediately goes "wow this is flirting, men cant be like brothers"
women only see men as competitors for her pussy. if a man gives attention to other men she can only conceptualize this as courtship, even if the men in question just wanna watch sports ball and drink few beers with their mates.
enjoy your monkeypox
Larian is already god awful at writing, and always will be.
But now instead of even trying, they just insert homosexuals and girlbosses.
gays, hags, and ntr are feminism approved and kosher
Lets review the girlbosses, shall we?

>talk to karlach afterwards and notice I just triggered romance with the mage
reload
>decline learning magic
>Gale disapproves
Never talked to the guy since I recruited him since he just stays in the camp eating magic items from time to time.
The game was rushed and it fricking shows
That scene doesn't lead to romance, it leads to a precursor to romance where you can turn them down
It's totally a early romance event, Karlach says something like
>I love how you take care of Gale, you two look so cute together SQUEEEE
>Women like fujos.
Not even defending but yeah, it happens.
I sat on a rock and drank some wine with Shadowheart, truly a monumental display of romance. Also there were several options where I could tell her I wasn't interested, I doubt the other characters are different
no, it fricking leads to romance, after the learning event I even told gale to frick off several times and still triggered several cutscenes
>one in act 2 where Gale tells you that you smell nice and he's horny
>one about being mad from romancing other character
>another one after his big story event where MY GUY SITS CLOSE TO HIM ALMOST HOLDING HANDS and that's where you can end the romance
unironically, the only one that doesn't pursue you is Lae'zel
>want to frick?
>frick no
>ok (romance ends)
Didn't happen for me, maybe you shouldn't be so gay
I literally killed off all the men so they would stop being homosexuals.
Shadowheart, Lae'zel and Minthara are all you need anyways. I keep a dedicated Wizard Hireling in my camp that just used all his spell slots for casting Knock on treasure chests and doors.
The heck, even in divinity 2, there was choice for friendship and that one felt fullfulling cause you bond with them and he doesnt end up killing you to take the god power, here its xsneed Rf5 all over again
Companions don’t disapprove when you refuse sex. Play the fricking game you’re trying to criticize.
>>Can't talk normally to male companion
speak for yourself gay magnet, i didn't even get the bear fricker to hit on me
That's not wokeshit, it's just bad game design. They wanted to make every NPC romanceable and playersexual, which is fine by itself, but they made the romance shit opt-out instead of opt-in, which is moronic.
>which is fine by itself.
>Taking with Wizard
>”Hey man I love magic, wanna see?”
>Yeah sure
>Starts getting gay immediately
>Want to frick the Tiefling barbar
>”Hey it’s totally cool if you frick other women”
Why.
the tiefling kind of makes sense considering you can't physically frick her without getting 3rd degree burns
>No option to frick her early even as a Dragonborn with racial fire resistance.
I'd accept some first or second degree burns.
i cast Protection From Energy
i killed him and wiyl pretty quick
Why Wyll? He's not gay. He literally only wants one thing, and it's frog pussy.
>spends time crying about a game he didn't even play
>doesn't realize hes spending his time crying about nothing because he didn't play the game and doesn't know whats actually in it
Fricking sad, man
>Companion disapprove
Oh no, now it will be harder to have sex with him. Just like you wanted.
These people want nothing less than an absolute zero tolerance policy for anything you wouldn’t find in Sunday school
Well ya people don't tend to like being rejected
Kill all male companions on sight, Wither is the only acceptable male companion. He is based as frick, no gay shit, no back talk, limitless potential, and he can revive all other companions if they die.
>barely any woke shit at all
you are literally lying.
this guy flirts with you within 30 seconds of meeting him.
Why do you lie? Game is very woke, I am in act 3
you can literally reject him instantly and kill him
this, how many games let you killing homosexuals?
Havent tried the game yet, is there any down sides gameplay-wise to killing gays?
None, also you can kill children and you should because they are thieving scum.
>throwing that tiefling kid who tried to rip me off into the chasm
>stabbing the goblin children
>teaming up with the locals to run off violent refugees
>killing the homosexual bear and gay bdsm vampire
Feels nice + Drow pussy
You lose a party member and have to resort to soulless hirelings.
>soulless hirelings.
Withers is trying his best, anon.
Shouldn't happen in the first place.
Lots of things shouldn’t happen but they do, deal with it instead of whining about it
>Just kill all your allies because they are gays
Not a well designed solution. Most people want well written allies not homosexuals they have to kill.
>Just reject the advances of the homosexual and he stops being a homosexual
thats not how it works genius. Omega cope.
They’re video game characters anon, they don’t actually have a sexuality. They’re all playersexual, him hitting on a male player character doesn’t mean he’s gay, it means the developers didn’t want to put any hard restrictions on romance so they just threw any notion of sexuality or preference out the window. He’d hit on you just as hard if you were playing a female character, so he’s obviously not a gay.
What a dishonest argument, that's not the main issue though.
>it means the developers didn’t want to put any hard restrictions on romance
It's lazy writing. You should have to get to know the npcs and play into their preferences before sex comes on the table. Here everyone is a cheap bawd. This is lazy and trite wish fulfillment, just as bad as isekai slop.
>Here everyone is a cheap bawd.
All the men and the tomboy are bawds?
What's the issue, here? That's accurate characterization for both
Yeah wood elves exist
Have you never really liked an NPC in an RPG with romance only to learn that they’re lesbian? They’re not even a real person, their sexual preferences are completely arbitrary and also not a very important facet of their personality. Making everyone playersexual is for the best. Don’t want to date a dude? Reject him. It’s that simple.
i dont care if women kiss other women. all women are lesbians until they get fricked by men.
Except the devs don’t let you frick her, even by force, because they decided she is lesbian. Isn’t that arbitrary?
why would i care? i'd just remove the b***h from my party.
Having 4 women you can romance and frick in a game is better than having 2 because half of them are gay.
having 0 male characters you can hang out with normally isnt a good option eithet.
You can hang out with all of the male characters in this game, no sex whatsoever
So make none of them gay, like they should have
It's hard to sustain suspension of disbelief when you have to handwave and disregard aspects of npcs personalities for them to seem believable. It might come easy to players who don't really bother immersing themselves in the world, idk.
There isn't really a good solution if you want to make a game that appeals to everyones sexuality, other than asking about their preferences up front.
I don't mind encountering a few wild souls who I might have to reject, but it feels like I'm in a band of blow-up dolls rather than comrades.
>their sexual preferences are completely arbitrary and also not a very important facet of their personality
Very subjective lol
Sex is a very destinct aspects of a relationship if you aren't a bawd who views it as inconsequential.
So you literally have to make a homosexual saving throw to avoid being around one in this game?
>it's not woke
>yeah it's woke but you can ignore it
This is how desperate you sound.
If I make a game full of unicorns and the only tool you have is a shotgun do you think that game is endorsing unicorns just cause there’s a ton of them in the game?
Sweet summer child.
Yes. In TLOU you are the bad guy.
Maybe they should have written the game that way and I would believe it
It's called normalization. By being exposed to something over and over again you get accustomed to it. That is what they're doing with homosexuality.
Homosexuality isn’t something you ever get accustomed to. You either don’t find anything wrong with it or you do, it’s not a preference thing it’s an ideological thing. It’s not like eating a food you don’t like over and over until you get a taste for it. I don’t have a problem with homosexuality as a concept but Astarian is a textbook flaming homosexual and I hate that kind of personality, doesn’t matter how much I get exposed to it, it just makes me hate it more.
People can get accustomed to anything. It's subversion.
You’re ignoring all the instances in life where constant exposure to something makes you hate it more, not less
>just kill your party :^)
cRPGs used to be a thinking man's genere, now they attract brainlets.
Amazing I can kill all of their characters and miss the majority of the actual campaign (because yes the campaign isn't about your character it's about theirs)
And yet the game doesnt give any homophobic dialogue options.
[Attack them] works pretty well
so kill him then if it makes you that insecure
>here bro drink this uranium enriched liquid shit
>uh no dude that would be disgusting and very bad for
>whatever makes you feel less insecure bro
considering killing yourself
you are a npc
yep, he's (N)ot (P)olitically (C)orrect.
And 12 too.
Why do subhuman leftoids keep calling people disgusted by their degeneracy "insecure" when the moment someone misgenders them they'll literally lose their minds and most likely rope themselves? You understand that mentally ill dropouts such as you don't get to call normal people insecure, right?
My main char is female so it doesn't feel weird when I go full sex maniac. The drama in camp is so boring that I stopped talking to my characters unless prompted to do so kek.
I was surprised at how quickly the new dialog dried up. It feels like the characters are only there so you can frick them. I just wanted to be bros with gale damnit. Where is my Garrus equivalent?
Am I autistic or why didn't I perceive it as flirting when he was trying to slit my character's throat?
Most people on this shit website hasn't had any meaningful human contact and are generally autistic beyond saving.
I pushed a wooden stake through his heart before any of that shit even happened. Get good.
>having a homosexual being a homosexual is woke shit
If anything, it's cartoonishly gay
no one is complaining about asterios being gay because he's cartoonishly homosexual. the issue is characters like gale begging non stop for gay action.
But if you play a girl he becomes straight and begs for hetero action
becomes straight? he slept with a goddess before all this, he clearly already had a thing for women from the get go
anons discover bisexuality
Pretty much everyone playing it loves it so you have a really weird spread of people posting on Ganker about the game.
>90% people that haven't played it but just trying to shitpost with lies based off complaints from ESLs on the steam forums
>10% legit posting from people playing the game realizing right now is an awful time to try to discuss the game as every thread is filled with /misc/-tier schizos
Just give it a little bit and they'll lose interest. Once Starfield comes out, they'll all shift to that and post webms of Bethesda bugs and spam threads with that instead.
The people actually discussing the game are in /vrpg/ or /vg/
I pray every day that /vrpg/ remains the slow moving board that it has been and never becomes popular as it feels almost immune to ritual shitposters.
haha...
/vrpg/ is cool but i will never set foot in /vg/
Is it just me, or have homosexuals on here like this been using ad populum as a defense and statement of quality for the shit things they like here? I swear the percentage of people doing it has increasing significantly the past few months.
>um bros..is it the newbies that complain about how Ganker doesnt play games?!
Gee anon, I wonder.
It's a very blatant shill tactic
>appealing to popularity is a recent trend
You have to be underaged
None of these morons actually played it.
I'm 40 hours in at the start of act 2 and the only gay shit was some optional dialog with male companions, fully avoidable. You can literally only recruit females actually, thag will be my next playthrough for a catfight party.
>If you don't want the gay shit, just don't talk to any male companions.
I dunno man, that doesn't sound like a reasonable solution. Talking to party members and getting to know them is part of the cRPG experience. It's not an action game.
just reject him immediately then and the relationship becomes normal
Doesn't work, Larian fricked up the event flags, I have rejected Gale a couple times already.
The gamealso wienerblocked me from fricking the frog for whatever reason I have a dialogue option to tell Halsin to forget about our buttfricking last night, but it never happened.
Couldn't all of this be avoided by letting players select a sexuality in character creation? If you note your male character as straight, the male romances are automatically flagged as off?
Now you understand why it annoys people, it's obviously done out of spite.
Given how emphasized romance in this game is, this would be a great idea.
That would be immersion breaking and moronic.
It's an rpg so why can't your character just tell them he isn't a moronic gay wienersucking subhuman and when he get's hit on again he will fricking bash his head in?
No straight guy would be this afraid of interacting with a gay person
>Haha, how do you know you are not gay, have you tried yet to make sure?
Frick off, chomo.
All I’m saying is a person comfortable with their sexuality wouldn’t feel the need to kill someone over it
Probably not. Someone would complain about their inability to play a straight character having a gay awakening or vice versa.
Polygon/Kotaku headline:
>Baldur's Gate 3 pigeonholes players into choosing a sexuality, accused of changing sexual preference ERASURE!
You can also simply not take the gay options, you know...
They made all the characters playersexual, so it is how it is.
Maybe there will be a mod to remove the gay shit. Point is it's maybe 0.1% of the game, but 90% of the talk is about it.
the problem is that many times the dialog options that would make the party member open up to you and tell you more about their backstory ARE the gay options and the non-gay option usually just ends the dialog or shuts down the party member.
No they aren't, after you turn them down the first time their romance is closed off and you can choose whatever dialogue you want with them for the next 80 hours.
getting to know your party members is part of the cRPG experience. So is deciding not to invite them to join your party, either because you're a /misc/-schizo that thinks the gays are coming for your precious conservative seed or ICly don't get along with them. you can honest to god bait this guy into trying to do gay vampire shit to your neck, then stab him in the heart when he goes in for it. he graphically dies on screen. if you do gay shit with astarion, you made the choice to do gay shit with him and don't want to admit it.
lmao gays should be executed because they're moronic. Eating soup with a fork. Plz let the suicide rate reach 100%.
The same reason I dont associate with autists is the same reason you'll see me always avoid a homosexual.
Unfortunately, there will almost always be some form of spineless fruity fricks flying around. Nothing you can do.
>be gay
>world has to be too
love watching them burn in tires.
>the only gay shit was some optional dialog with male companions, fully avoidable
There is a married couple of gay gnomes in the Underdark, duergar camp.
And I think I found a couple diaries/notes that implied a few more homosexuals too
it’s always gnomes
if they didn't want controversy maybe they shouldn't have advertised their normal fantasy game with literal bestiality
You know that is someone transmogrified as a bear, right?
Or is it only acceptable when 1000 year old hags transform into e-girls?
Ganker is full of hypocrites.
>Namegay is a tourist
Color me shocked
This man is a professional hunter of all things cute and funny
Only closeted homosexuals get upset about video game characters flirting with them. It's a reminder of their true urges
not really, I don't mind if there are gay NPCs, but it's actually just immersion breaking and stupid that everyone in this game is sexually attracted to anything that walks. The party members should have some preferences and restrictions in place that make them unique, so they seem more like real people and not like mindless sex bots.
any woke shit at all
either you are lying or you've skipped all the dialogue, cutscenes and npcs
most likely you havent played the game at all
its more likely you havent played tbhfam
Damn you've been hanging out in the tutorial zone for 20 hours?
>any woke shit at all
What do you consider woke and what are those woke things you faced?
>barely any woke shit
Just admit you’re a homosexual and go back
huh? what you mean?
damn if gay people existing is woke then you guys need to just have a nice day, there's a lot of gay people IRL
The problem is its just out in your face.
HEY LOOK LGTBQ EXIST LOOK GUYS THIS PERSON IS GAY
Nobody cares, just add a subtle hint like it is in real fricking life and move on.
yeah but straight people exist in real life too, at far greater proportions. Yet for some reason nobody in BG3 is straight. Weird, isn't it?
>Yet for some reason nobody in BG3 is straight
All your companions are player sexual.
I DON'T WANT SEX
I WANT A VIDEO GAME
I WANT CHARACTERS WHO HAVE DEPTH
I DON'T WANT SUPERHERO BACKSTORIES AND INSTANT SEX
>leftists hate a character so much they go way out of their way to ruin every single bit of his reputation
Wasn't the punished wife quite dead? I mean it's litterally the reason he exists.
they brought her back just to cuck him and say she hated him and was about to file a divorce
not even joking
Man why are leftists so fricking pathetic and disgusting.
all gays should be killed
but most importantly, YOU should have a nice day
there are more straight people than gay, isn't it easier to just kill the gays instead?.... i dunno, just following your logic here.
I haven't seen one in 5+ months. Feels fricking good to be a rural chad
About 2% of the population whereas in Forgotten Realms its about 90%
patently false, but you didn't play the game so
I don't care about your propaganda game shlomo, gays do not comprise even nearly as much of the population as you are desperate to prove
you must live an exhausting life
>2%
That used to be true, but the brainwashing is working
It's just zoomers saying they're bisexual or nonbinary for internet clout
>traditionalists
sorry buddy, it's "greatest generation"
whole graph is sus
homos love to diddle kids
sexuality and the flow of gender are convoluted in the Forgotten Realms.
as per nu-D&D lore yes
>Consider changing sex as a curse that could destabilize society.
Yeah based.
>the name is Blessed
Yeah woke.
>Drow are good guys now
Huh
>there's a lot of gay people IRL
Statistically speaking, no there aren't. Even the recent trend of increasing LGBTQ among zoomers is almost entirely teenage girls with identity crises calling themselves bisexual or non-binary for trendiness. There are very very few people, especially among men, who want to have sex with the opposite sex. It's about 3% or less according to all reasonable studies on the topic. There are more people who are hard of hearing then there are homos, and you don't see game developers putting a load of dialogue trees with "Huh? What did you say? Speak up there!" in so as to appease the deaf community.
Also ur fat
You lost
My favorite is
>"I just came out! I've graduated from ally!"
>dates exlusively pre-op trannies that are physically exactly the same as their previous partners
They believe it, too.
No one cares you like to stick your wiener up another mans bum, moron. What they care about is YOU ragging on about it like a vegan acting holier-than-thou a family BBQ. I don't need to hear a deep gnome talk about how gay he is, how gay his husbund is and constantly go "LOOK I'M GAY!" every five fricking seconds. No one gives a flying rats c**t about your sexuality but what they do care about is you using it as a crutch for your lack of personality.
>barely any woke shit at all
>its just a normal fantasy setting
>....
>also everyone is gay
the homosexual in your op pic made me drop it in 2 hours
You disingenuous Black person. Only complains around this game are about the hypocrisy of western media, which praises and parades the uncensored, unapologetic, and downright gross degeneracies featured in BG3. While at the same time tearing Eastern games apart for having the slightest modicum of fanservice. That's what it always was about. Nothing else. I'm told BG3 is a great game, good. Frick journos and frick youtube and twitch. And frick AGS for censoring Lost Ark and Blue Protocol. I don't want to frick bears, I want to frick dickys.
The hypocrisy isn't really BG3's fault
This proves all of those crying muh censorship are just pedophiles. People will accept fricking bears before they accept you, everyone hates you.
>I want to frick dickys.
This is a big part of why they censor tranime games, you sound like a dullard but that is obvious.
As hypocritical as it is it's a mistake to criticize journos for doing this right now. Save it for later, save it for when they next try to censor something.
They're making a mistake and setting a standard. The game is successful while having
>Built in nude skin texture mods
>Fricking even small races without people being weird about calling sex between two 30 year olds pedophilia
>Fricking between races, genders, and species without restraint
>Probably other stuff I dunno
Yet the game is making money. People need to stop thinking about any of this as a debate. You can't convince someone they're stupid, you need to prove it to them. Money speaks louder than any amount of screeching autists.
Is it just me or is /misc/ losing influence? It seems like every day more and more boards reject them.
they are literally mirror universe trannies. just as insufferable. the israelites of Ganker
The Kremlin is running out of money and the Freemasons are funneling money into more promising orc hordes like America First
explain this homosexual
All I see is white moms allowing their kids to be there so maybe it had to do with that.
>its the people buying the drugs, not the ones promoting it that is the problem
Unironically yes.
No one would sell drugs if no one wanted them
So it began with people buying
from who?
No it began with people discovering it and trying it and then telling people about it creating demand which creates vendors
and do you think those vendors would just stop selling and change their life around if people stop buying or would they take actions to maintain their market?
How can they keep selling if everyone stopped buying?
I mean, it's more like parents buying drugs and giving them to their kids.
These people are NPCs. They would never allow their kids to be groomed if MSM wasn't drilling it into their heads.
>The TV made me do it
White people are just moronic I guess.
White people at it again
Posting videos of yourself belongs on
real /misc/ left a long time ago; you've just been dealing with angsty homosexual teens trying too hard to fit in
/misc/ is still the most used board dumbass.
>woke happens
>kill that npc
instantly better than games like rdr
if that's your solution, you're pretty much forced to play the game solo. Also, I don't like playing as an evil sociopath, I want to play as a good alignment character.
killing wokeshits is morally good
refuse all the usual companions and only recruit the mercenaries, shitty solution but they are forcing me. Still plenty of story and quests without them.
That's not evil, it's a perfectly reasonable reaction
how does the world stay populated in this setting since all the people in it are gay?
Magic exists anon. Also some of those women are powerful enough to rape some of the men they would just need a potion to keep the guy hard to get a baby in her.
Wow, the right really lost the culture war, huh?
I am also 20 hours in and have seen 3 instances:
>all the vampire gay's interactions
>shadowheart being a gay for karlach upon meeting her
>gale trying to frick me with magic
It's definitely there, mate. It's not everywhere, but it does exist and isn't entirely avoidable.
someone being a gay isn't woke
they lied. the right ALWAYS does.
They're only gay because you picked a dude. Play a girl and they're straight.
You made them gay. gayenabler
then women become homosexuals or the dudes between eachother.
>Play a girl
but now you, the player, are gay
>Gale casts a cool Mystra projection
>ask him about it
>he tells you about how he simps for her
>then he invites you to practice magic
>sure magic is cool
>suddenly sexual tension and you character looks at gale with frick me eyes
>narrator says there is a call for intimacy in the air
>WTF is this gay shit
>say no
>magic ends and both gale and your character look very sad and dissapointed
>"BARELY ANY WOKE STUFF"
That is already too much
Looks completely platonic to me, see
>Walk up to dude jacking it to holo porn
>Talk to him like a dumb homosexual
>He senses this and asks if you want to learn "magic".
Umm I think you got the gay. Also wanting to learn magic from a metrosexual looking wizard? Come on man
How big a bisexual harem can I make? As in, which of the companions don't mind if you romance more than them?
0. Ironically for a CRPG everyone's a hardcore monogamygay.
I've seen people claiming Shadowheart didn't mind them shagging Karlach and others if they told her before
>NOOOOO IF I SEE A GAY I WILL *INSTANTLY* TURN GAY MYSELF
only effective on minors and they really need to be molested too for greater success
>only effective on minors
yeah, Ganker is full of them
why do you guys always have such weak strawmen arguments though? You know, your side is always the one that is childishly throwing around insults, whereis your perceived opposition actually does make perfectly valid points.
rightoids, particularly the ones shitting up this site, don't deserve faithful debate and real arguments.
shitposting and wojaks is all you get. you're worth nothing more.
And you engage in good faith debates? You have contempt for anyone who disagrees with you and want them hurt.
You don't deserve good faith discussions OR getting hurt.
Only shitposts and mockery. You reap what you sow.
yeah but in the end that just means that your side always looks stupid and like you are constantly admitting defeat because you obviously cannot defend your own positions. You basically all but admit that people have a valid point this game having an immersion breaking amount of gay characters and badly designed dialog options as a result of it.
no but gays are evil and should not be normalized
Why do you people shoehorn this image so much?
The people who use it look 1:1 like that, if that isn irony then what?
The trannies are triggered by this game so they make up all kinds of lies about it
>ESG

With a big wotc (esg) license over it which would sue their buttholes if they don't knee to every request they do.
if they did their own world with their own stuff i would agree with you but doing "BALDUR'S GATE" you are basically chained to one of the most woke and customer unfriendly companies there is.
You really cant see how the world works right?
the tadpole shit shouldnt had been an universal story hook but rather one origin character's exclusive mechanic. getting rid of mindflayer menace is motivation enough. giving everyone brainworms homogenizes the story.
La'zel would have just tried to kill you outright, and half the party wouldn't have given a shit about helping without feeling incredibly forced.
rewrite the characters then. the tadpole stuff is stupid.
It's the entire plotline from front to back you moron, go play something else and stop b***hing
Why would anybody travel with you without the tadpoles
Don't try to apply logic to the braindead tourist, anon. He hasn't thought about it that far. He just wants the game to cater to him, and to him alone. If there's even one thing in it he doesn't like, he will vehemently shitpost against it to no end. And then he wonders why nobody makes games for people like him.
LariaBlack person getting a little hot under the collar over some milquetoast criticism as usual I see
people travel together when theyre heading to the same direction. larian wont do this kind of storytelling where companions have strict individual motivations. instead they leash the companions to you with brainworm mcguffin and get an excuse to put them in your camp.
No no no. You don't get to dodge it. Answer the question.
Why would Shadowheart travel with you?
Why would Lae'zel?
Astarion?
Gale?
>shadowheart
You saved her life on the nautiloid
>laezel
She's a moron
>astarion
He's gay
>Gale
He's your good friend
>You saved her life on the nautiloid
"Appreciate the help. However I have something important to do and need to get going immediately. Goodbye."
>She's a moron
She would kill you on sight
>He's gay
And would kill you on sight
>He's your good friend
And has no reason to travel with you without the tadpole
>shadowheart
>You saved her life on the nautiloid
Without the tadpoles there is no point to the Nautiloid. First point and you've already proven you're a moron
>laezel
>She's a moron
A moron that has no reason to be around or with you, without the tadpoles
>astarion
>He's gay
Who wouldn't be around you without the aforementioned Nautiloid and tadpoles
>Gale
>He's your good friend
Gale is the only one I could see, but you're still moronic
You unite under the common goal of having a parasite and then become friends through conversation, WOW!. It's like you've never started a D&D campaign or even just interacted with human beings.
What? So you now concede that the tadpoles are necessary for the group to form initially?
What are you even arguing about at this point?
>so you now concede that a group having a common goal makes a story interesting?
i'm not that guy but yes, moron, unless you want the entire fricking game to be a bunch of filler that ends with getting to baldur's gate like some sort of stupid ass fantasy oregon trail.
You fricking idiot.
My initial argument is exactly what you said.
I was arguing against the other anon who said the Tadpoles are shit and shouldn't be in the game.
You're arguing my initial point, against me. Fricking imbecile.
the issue i have with the tadpole "common goal" is that it's forced upon every character by the story. these characters dont develop common ground but rather are forcibly partied up by some writer that decided so. the characters are devoid of agency.
>Game bad because the plot hook that causes people to work together exists
You are fricking stupid. Go out with honour.
the plot hook is hamfisted and terrible. glad you finally got it.
And your suggestion?
i do get to dodge the question because those characters are written for the plot they are in. but as an example the initial story hook could simply be "get to baldurs gate" and available party members would have a motivation of "get to location x which is on the way to baldurs gate" and different companions would want to take detours etc and not join if youre going to other companions detour thats in different cardinal direction. lazel kinda had this kind of thing with the creche and mountain pass but thanks to the brainworm mcguffin all the companions are slaves that have to tag along.
I'm glad you didn't write this because that sounds fricking boring.
no, it sounds like a pre level 4 adventure. the game's introduction is hilariously bombastic for level 1.
The characters were nerfed by the tadpole, they say it themselves
why am I starting the game from a middle chapter then?
Do you also consider that The Witcher for example starts from the middle chapter because Geralt is already experienced? Stories don't need to begin with the protagonists being fresh off the farm.
the difference is that geralt isnt dying of brain cancer from the moment the opening cutscene ends.
Ok so your actual problem is that you just don't like the tadpole hook. That's your prerogative but no need to deflect.
youre the one deflecting by making a false equivalency to something like witcher
Well yeah, The Witcher literally starts after a whole epic saga of adventures in the books
This the kind of guy who needs Batman's parents to be killed in every movie
and another spider-man trilogy that includes the spider bite and and uncle ben dying
>pre level 4 adventure
Everyone was a higher level at one point before being raped
Nowdays everything is fricking bombastic because zoomers want to be the marvel heroes. In wrath of the righteous you have visions of angels and having le dark demonic edge power inside you, also you are called by the universal law regulators, like after 10 minutes of game. I remember the "run from those guys with knives, also here are two psychos, have fun" start of bg1. Even being baal's son you were one of many, not even remotely close of the chosen one shit you have everywhere today.
You literally become an avatar of bhaal, shut the frick up homosexual
>Proven you never played the game or just fricking moronic to apply the end of the game to the beginning.
Wow lad better check that wiki page better next time.
You can't even construct a cohesive sentence, sit down dumb frick
Thanks for the concede, very sporty Other people have already marked how moron you are.
You unlock slayer form 20hours into BG2
I am aware. But you start BG1 as a demigod, and come into that power. It isn't dissimilar to BG3
You're no demigod, you have a sliver of bhaals essence and all it does is give you nightmares and allow you to cast a couple low level cleric spells, big deal.
You are one of many sons of bhaal, which is the plot device because sarevok is going highlander. You are special over the common farmer, nothing more. To achieve chosen one powers you have basically to end the game.
A pre level 4 adventure doesn't have to be boring, anon.
I feel bad for your players, assuming you aren't LARPing as someone who knows what you're talking about.
t. Forever DM
honestly unless you're running a pre-written module that requires it (which is disgusting in its own right), or doing some genuine rags-to-riches shit, starting below level 3 in 5e is fricking boring anyway. level 3 is the superior starting level since it actually lets most (if not all) of the classes have their subclass, which is what 90% of their features are locked behind.
Agreed 100%, not sure how that applies here, however.
The companions DO have strict individual motivations, that's why the tadpoles are used as a plot device.
Zero fricking reason for Shadowheart to go with you when she is on an incredibly important mission to book it straight to Baldur's Gate. Zero reason for La'zel to even be with you at all. Zero reason for any of these people to follow you around, at all. You're asking that the game be completely different because you don't like the central plot point or any of the characters, so stop being a homosexual and go play another game
>larian wont do this kind of storytelling where companions have strict individual motivations.
?
Shadowhearts motivation is her quest for Shar.
Gale has his bomb.
Astarion is his pimp.
Karlach has escaping the hells
Etc
I wish they gave you better dialogue options (or even better let you turn off homosexual nonsense in the options so people would act normal).
The guys definitely talk like they want to frick you and like they're talking to a woman, rather than brother in arms, and to top it off this homosexual elf won't stop calling me darling, yet you can't even tell him to quit that shit.
No one is going to play this anyway, shill. Go away.
You have been brainwashed to not see wokeness.
>can kill him instantly
>multiple opportunities to kill him later
>chuds still complain
come on guys it's a pretty good deal
I think a lot of people [who likely haven't even played the game] are confusing the game's promiscuity with wokeness. Since every companion is attracted to your MC, it means that some of the companions must be intrinsically gay.
But beyond that I haven't seen any wokeness in my first 20 hours. There is no "all wahmen good, all man bad" sentiment (in fact, in the druid grove everyone loves the male leader Halsin, and everyone despises the psychopathic female 2IC Kagha). The leader of the tiefling refugees is also a man, and he's cool.
There is no "white man bad, Black man good" sentiment. People are just people.
Apparently there's some fat black troony character somewhere who enjoys the screams of children. If that's the case I don't see how it's woke to depict a troony who preys on children; if anything it'd be the opposite.
>Since every companion is attracted to your MC
Why? I bet they are the same who criticises stuff like persona because it does the same thing.
>Why? I bet they are the same who criticises stuff like persona because it does the same thing.
I don't know, probably just a matter of convenience. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but to call it "woke" is a bit nonsensical.
>there are some canon dykes
Who cares? The mere presence of gays and dykes shouldn't be classified as "woke". You are diluting that term to the degree of "racism" by lunatics in 2014.
>convenience
Its more like incompetence and i want the harem isekai audience. In bg 1 and 2 just to beat the dead horse but in almost every rpg every companion would abandon the group if you act in a way they don't like. All of them have no particular desire over you and they have motivations (which sometimes goes in contrast with other npc without even your intervention).
The tadpole is also a very first dm experience ever, a very bad plot device.
there are some canon dykes, lesbos are the plague on soiboi writing
Game has only elf and Edge races for companions, for one
No dwarf or halfling/party member? Hard pass.
Its a bit frustrating how horny everyone is. I would have liked to shape magic with Gale and have a dance with Wyll without it getting sexual. Also I'm a Paladin so I should get the choice to smite the homos
>and have a dance with Wyll without it getting sexual. Also I'm a Paladin so I should get the choice to smite the homos
>dancing with men
sus
I just wanted to have a friendly dance and not be rude
>Also I'm a Paladin so I should get the choice to smite the homos
Paladins aren't against homosexuality. You're not Christian in d&d
keep your globohomosexual out of other people’s characters
Zealots aren't known to actually read their scriptures
Paladins are against anything they want as long as they swear to it and they don't break the principles of their oath.
The oathbreaker knight bro tells you that he became an oathbreaker because he didn't want to keep murdering innocents for his lord. Paladins don't give a shit about morality, it's about being turboloyal to something
because that’s a homogenized take on paladins for mutts
Because anti woke people are the new sjws who complain about everything
Stop lying.
BG3 is the wokest CRPG ever made.
troony that runs a Circus/freak show lol based larian
normal fantasy would be far-right, because fantasy is inherently reactionary, the fact that it isn't means it's woke.
>hit underdark act 2 and find that town with THAT character
>kidnapping successful because I wasn't combat ready and refuse to reload on things other than a wipe
>whole town turns undead and it's a fricking massacre
>barely get through and that character joins the team covered in blood
>realize one of the bodies belongs to the infernal engine blacksmith
>oh she's fricked then
>left with nothing but revenge on my mind, still shook
>look it up and you can stop the kidnapping and get heaps of side stuff done here
>every post is people saying they reloaded
Metagaming something like this is a mistake. That's content for a future playthrough. I bet they feel nothing in their perfect game worlds where nothing ever goes wrong. Probably the same people claiming act 2 is bad, this shit has been great.
>refuse to reload on things other than a wipe
i've not seen someone in more than a tenday that i could so readily declare to be 'my homie'.
>Not reloading when an npc gets 1 rounded in a surprise round you had no idea about
Cuck
>go evil route

>but ackshually Absolute is even more evilbadwrong
>game lists her as a Lolth Sworn Paladin

Frick this stupid fricking homosexual game. I can't have even one evil route in peace.
>Lolth

What in the everlasting frick happened to d&d?
They opened Paladins up to more than the lawful good gods
Which i did too on my homebrew rules but i didn't call them paladins, just call them another way. Paladins are good.
From my point of view the good gods are evil
most of Ganker has intense aspersers and keeps "accidently" picking dialogue for fricking men because they can't read social ques even in vidya
This game is the least organically popular game of all time.
It really shows when 99.9% of threads on Ganker are dishonest beyond belief and nobody seems to want to actually discuss the gameplay.
We now live in an era where objectively shit games can sell millions because of superior marketing.
What do you think people are discussing in this thread anon? You think because it’s not specifically about the combat that they’re not discussing the game?
Hey! You might be illiterate.
Hey! How did I read that?
>if you aren't discussing the combat meta to win a fat winner winner chicken dinner you're not discussing gameplay!!!!
its a cRPG tardo, 75% of the game is conversation and roleplay. if you're rolling through this game and getting into a huge fight every 3 seconds you're either playing like a moron or playing a barbarian.
>b-but muh gameplay
There is nothing to discuss
5e is braindead, you shouldn't pick feats before maxing your main stat and concentration makes spell combos hard to pull off.
>Tranime image
>moronic post
Name a more iconic duo
Did you open the caravan strongbox?
I'm not sure if I should open it
If you killed the guards, of course you're gonna open it.
no and it's gonna sit in my camp for another 30 hours until i get to baldur's gate and deliver it myself
>You are reading paid content
>literally every single "remove ye tadpole" quest is just some Black person lying about their ability to remove it and failing to do so
>Hag can't remove it
>Gith machine can't remove it
>Magic can't remove it
>Weird Shar doctor can't remove it
>Space prism can't remove it
This is getting real frickin' annoying
Volo can remove it
No he can't. He just rips out your eye and is like oops parasite is too deep, here's a new robot eye.
why didn't elminster just nuke us with maximized fireball and then cast true resurrection to get rid of the tadpole, such an obvious loophole i can't believe the hack writers at larian couldn't see it
Most aren't lying. If it was a basic tadpole they'd take it out.
Or did you not read the part where they go:
>Hey what the frick is this shit? Your tadpole is enchanted/protected/unnatural?
>homie this isn't a regular tadpole. Your ass is grass.
I can easily prove to you that the game is a failure.
All the important people quit playing it.
Who are our most based gamers? Russians.
And what do they have there?
Firstly, the game is not in the top of sales behind CSGO
Secondly, they have a man who is called the King of Gamers and the Hero of the Russian Internet, he brutally destroyed the game on the facts.
Thirdly, their streamers quit streaming the game.
She has already been abandoned by streamers like Voodoosh, Mad, Lamych, Deadp47 and Papich.
Objectively, the game is a failure in all respects.
This is surprisingly sophisticated bait. Good job anon, I hope you get lots of (you)s
??
The game was entrusted to be developed by people who in their entire history have never made a good game.
BG3 is literally DOS3. Those who played DOS2 know very well that there is bad text, cringe jokes, a miserable atmosphere and boring combat.
Therefore, trusting the game to such people was a mistake. They made their next share and it is strange that someone expected otherwise.
Well, from above, of course, propaganda was added to expand the Overton window regarding bestiality, yes.
But that was also to be expected. After the Overton window was completely broken for alphabetic people, it was only a matter of time before they switched to bestiality and paedophilia.
DOS2 was good though, aside maybe the shitty armor system and a few moronic jokes here and there, nowhere near as bad as this.
Doesn't helps that they're running the game with the "updated" DnD lore which pretty much is considered "the woke 5e update" which a lot of people who actually play tabletops are adamantly against it.
But yeah they went full moron like you said, not to mention theres thieflings and drows but no fricking dwarfs.
I bet that they will say something stupid like the DA:I dev who didn't let people romance scout Hardin because apparently liking dwarves is pedophilic
It is hilarious how hard the trons have been coping since the bear stream.
They are currently pretending the game is a flop, I wonder what their cope will be once it wins GOTY.
Here are those who say that the game is not woke, can you give me a couple of answers to simple questions?
Is here the choice of gender or bodytype? Can I make a Black Elf or a Black Gnome? Any romanceable character can be homofricked? When choosing a woman or a female bodytype, are there any disadvantages to strength and intelligence?
Neither are there disadvantages to wisdom nor charisma when picking a dude.
>When choosing a woman or a female bodytype, are there any disadvantages to strength and intelligence?
Man I wish we could go back to the days of Arcanum.
>Can I make a Black Elf or a Black Gnome?
Yeah Drow and Deep Gnomes have existed for decades
Yeah, but can you make a Black FOREST GNOME OR ELF???
I remember sending a friend a screenshot of a female black gnome, curls and all, so I guess you can make males too
Any race/gender/class can use any cosmetic, you can make anyone look like anything. You can make a tiefling sub-Saharan black.
>No woke shit
>This thing talking about children
>ACK!
I like that.
I don’t know about you, but I have a thing that when the developers start talking about penises in their game, then I immediately have vibes of third-rate games from third-rate companies
Example? Easy:
1. Conan Exiles
2. Scum
3. Cyberpunk.
Everywhere the developers focused on the penises, and not on the mechanics, and the games were fricking shit. The first two are dull survivor games, and the third is just a laughing stock.
So this is a sad wake up call that the developers were spending money on fricking PENISES instead of adding new spells and classes.
The game is so boring. 12 classes and 12 levels. What is this ffs?
In short, the hypmeter deflates sharply. The more you read about the game, the more it smells like cyberpunk.
Well, at least in Conan I get to see my female avatar's sexy ass bare walking around if I want to, or put her into sexy bikini armor to compliment her sexy body. Or if I want my male character to walk around with his 2 meter schlong hanging out I can do that too.
In cyberpunk the option is basically useless and pointless.
>/pol/troons that don't play games drum up anger and controversy over things that don't exist
Babby's first day on Ganker? They did the exact same thing with Far Cry 5 years back, claiming the game was an attack on white christians.
>whats the big deal? you guys told me this was esg slop?
Why are you still listening to /misc/ schizos ? We all had years to realize how moronic and delusional they are;
I cannot BELIEVE this gay piece of shit.
Holy fricking shit, it's either the worst writing/coding I have ever seen in a game or he was deliberately written to gaslight the player.
He comes on to me when I meet him, I tell him no thanks, not interested.
He comes on to me at the tiefling party, I tell him NO thanks, still not even remotely interested.
He comes on to me again-again during a random camp evening, I tell him NO THANKS, NOT FRICKING INTERESTED.
I have at NO point pursued anyone except Lae'zel, as my character is Githyanki. I have not given anyone else the time of day, I've only been the absolute minimum of nice to the rest of them and suddenly one night, Lae'zel wants to fight me. I agree and beat her.
The moment after, Gale that monstrous fricking homosexual comes over with his stupid homosexual hangdog face and goes
>"There's a shine in your eyes, a spark in your step aye and I fear I am no longer the object of your affections. I've seen the way you and Lae'zel look at one another, such a thing does not pass a scorned lover by. I guess I just thought we had something. So, who is it to be, me or her?"
I'm completely fricking reeling at the sheer moronation at this point. I tell him HER, no fricking if's why's or but's. He starts sobbing and goes
>"Fine, I shan't come between you. I won't leave the group, unless you want me to. If your friendship is all I can have then I will settle for it"
The game then presents me with:
>"For what it's worth, I'm sorry"
>Just because her and I are a thing doesn't mean we need to stop doing what we like"
>"You don't hate me, do you?"
The frick am I being forced into here. This is absolutely fricking gay mindrot. How do you sexually harass someone for days-weeks and then start playing the victim? Who the frick wrote this character?
If you genuinely think I "chose the wrong responses" then my only fault was to not tell him to kill himself immediately and every time. I tried to be civil. Clearly that doesn't work with homos.
>anon realizes he's the npc in Gale's story
It's fair to assume relation flags are bugged
Rejecting a companion once should stop them from flirting.
Or maybe they're just that lazy and didn't bother to add a rejection flag at all
Yeah something is definitely wrong with Gale's flags in particular, I didn't have this problem with Will or Halsin or even Astarion.
Sounds like your average homosexual tbh
>homosexual makes advances
>say no
>homosexual later does it again but in a very uncomfortable situation
>say no again with some force
>homosexual tries to literally gaslight you in front of people so it damages your reputation
>finally snap and tell him that not only you aren't interested but that you actually hate him for doing this shit
>you are now homophobic
Plays word by word with your average homosexual mindset
Not everyone has as much experience as you getting hit on by gays.
any man who is relatively good looking is going to get hit on, but I guess that's a rare exception on this place
By gays? Sounds like cope by closet homos.
gays will try to frick anything that moves, regardless of age, sentience, relationship status, as long as it tickles their gayboxes checklists.
Thats why no one wants them around nor want anything to do with them and they're completely aware of it which is why whenever they're rejected they lose their shit because how dare you reject them when a single message in social media can ruin your life
Hmm, this hasn't happened to me, but then again I'm only in act 2.
If I'm being honest, this looks like bad coding. Bad management of event flags. We can only hope it'll get patched.
Why would the homosexual devs not want to punish you for refusing to be a homosexual in their homosexual game?
>Play as Gale
>Problem solved
Gale chads we can’t stop winning
>save an innocent civilian from being murdered
>Gale looks at you seductively
>Wyll smacks lips
>Halsin notices your bulge
Why are all the BG3 shitposters so gay? All they think about are trannies and fricking dudes constantly.
You playing as astarion?
We warned you, we told you that this is how it will be.
Didn't you believe? Well, now they believe.
We are so far from the modern western trend that we can smell it even before the release of the product itself.
This is called BEING A BASED YOUNG PERSON.
And we told you that the game would be bad and woke. Even on this forum we told you about it, but what did you do? They laughed at us.
Well, there will be a lesson for you. Next time if a Russian tells you that the game is going to be woke shit, listen to him and don't buy it. Better buy an Atomic Heart
I found Halsins quest in act 2 but apparently it lifts up the shadowcurse. Will this screw up my future quests? It says I need to go to house of the healing, I haven't spoken to Isobel yet, nor Jaheria, I would like Halsin now is it safe for me to do his quest now before the others?
Yeah you can do it whenever and still finish other stuff later.
Ganker loves falseflagging anything that doesn't cater to them
i'd ask you to ignore them but it's much more fun to piss them off reminding them what massive failures they are
Many such cases. I have fallen for this garbage before and I was very to the party playing Mortal Kombat 11, Guild Wars 2 and other games that had minimum/mild troony stuff that could be avoided alltogether.
any woke shit at all
Lies as soon as he starts the thread.
does anyone actually like concentration
holy shit such a boring ass mechanic, i don't mind breaking spells on being hit but why can i only cast one at any time
I don't like it, but I understand where it comes from. Between concentration and being forced to stack buffs, I'd rather have concentration. For example Pathfinder is tuned with buff stacking in mind so you have to do it.
And some spells are way too broken already, without concentration it would be ridiculous. A successful hold person is a one turn kill since it guarantees crits, being able to cast two or more would trivialize every encounter with humanoids.
>catcalled by gays on the street
>gays dming me on instagram, some ridiculously thirsty
>gays using every opportunity to try to touch me in nightclubs
You're probably kind of ugly sorry
>catcalled by gays on the street
>gays dming me on instagram, some ridiculously thirsty
>gays using every opportunity to try to touch me in nightclubs
not everyone lives in san fran
To be fair my city is quite gay friendly I have to admit
>goes to nightclub by himself
>can't pull any pussy
>only get surrounded by gays
You might want to stop going to the blue oyster bar.
you can just have separate slots for concentration
it's fricking stupid that your offensive spells like call lightning conflicts with a 1st tier debuff spell like hex. allow 1 concentration from each tier, or each type of spell like 1 debuff 1 buff 1 attacking
Concentration should either be used for buffs only or slowly grow per tier (lvls 1-4 1 concentration slot, lvls 5-10 2 concentration slots).
Almost everything but damage spells require concentration so players end up sticking to the same tactics
Ganker can not be trusted on what is woke or not when it comes to rpgs.
You gays say that pathfinder is not woke either yet it has zero cool or heroic straight white male characters, every strong or smart character is female or black yet every white guy is a weakling or idiot that gets resuced, beaten up or ordered around by women
>pathfinder is not woke
you’d have to be moronic to fall for this
So is eating tadpoles just trading any hope at a positive end for your character for mechanical benefits, even as an Evil power hungry jackass?
>The only character that encourages it is the power hungry jackass
Hmm
Yeah but he's also an idiot so that just makes me suspect Larian included it solely as a trap option with no narrative upsides whatsoever.
I'm avoiding everything tadpole related and I'm only in act 2 but I can already tell it's going to be a nothing burger
>you jammed 10 worms into your head?
>here's a dc15 check or'll have to do an aditional fight
Just like consuming souls for source in DOS2 amounted to frick all
People are overreacting, but it has some woke shit
I heard it's for 18+ on steam which reduces the minor woke points
The worst: SLOWEST turn rate fights, CINEMATIC slop, D&D garbage therefore the game is a 7 at most
ENTER
lol, i love how he stands there all natural as if he isn't some kind of freak or aomething.
Writing is terrible
Game's great tho
>make your character a gigachad self insert OC
>be surprised when homosexual bottoms start throwing themselves at you
morons should have made a balding gnome
the bacground and inspiration system is pretty good for full custom party. your characters get rewarded for certain style of play even if they dont have fully fleshed out stories
Because the woke crowd are desperate to claim BG3 as their game since it's so succesful so they try to fit the game to their agenda. Theybdont have many success stories
It'll be a month or two before all the shills leave and people can finally criticize this game without being called a chud.
The shills are never leaving, the game is living rent free in their heads
anon i don't think you know those words you're using
I know exactly what words I'm using, it's clear there's a concerted effort among the shills to pretend this game is a flop or whatever their latest troon idiocy demands
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill
They are trying to downplay the success and quality of this game to make some other game look better, my guess is Starfield considering the genre, release date, and size of their dev
Please don't tell me you still believe shills only post about how good and awesome and "get hype!" an upcoming game is, you can't be that naive
anon a shill is someone promoting the game
It's all Tendies and JRPG chuds seething over the superiority of Western chads. Pay no attention to it.
>whats the big deal? you guys told me this was esg slop?
/v/misc/ tends to lie to push a narrative
Yes, of course.
>Bring Astarion to the Cazador fight
>He's immediately incapacitated
fries my team for 40 damage every turn
Fug
Nevermind, just pushed him off the ledge to instantly die. Cool vampire, bro.
Let me guess, it's also fun and feels like an adventure?
In the end, other than every character wanting to go after you, is this game woke or not?
I usually avoid playing Western games because I hate wokeness, but seems like it is mostly not woke?
Totally non-woke, of course.
I actually thought that movie was alright. The homosexual paladin was funny and the fights were decent. I don't get what they're saying though, of course Pines' character doesn't fight he's like a thief or something, and his character in the film barks orders to everyone else - he's "just according to keikaku" the character. Is it really emasculating when this dude is the leader of the group? I don't think so.
too much interracial, every single couple, Black person paired up with a redhead, all the white people have mixed/Black person children and there’s zero white children
It not a “coincidence”, the Great Replacement is about making a horde of mutts entirely devoid of identity and pride.

The companions are playersexual and the women don't look like model. That's literally it, pol tourists are seething for no reason.
>the women don't look like models
Is this due to ideological reasons (some lefty types dislike female beauty in media for whatever reason) or they just weren't capable of making prettier characters ?
As far as I know, Larian hasn't expressed any opinion on the reason for their character design decisions.
>bad guy enslaves an angel and brings his dead daughter back to life
>damn badguy really evil i hate him
>rescue angel and kill badguy
>turns out that all along the badguy chudded out because the angel and his daughter were lez
>they kiss, sealing your fate in being a pawn for stupid lesbo drama
Lol, this is such a shitty writing...
Western companies are screwed in the long run with writers this bad.
the character creation lets you:
- pick "non-binary"
- make a chick with a dick
- make a male with a vegana
- put a male voice on a female character and vice versa
- says body "Type A" and "Type B" instead of male and female
and people are saying "barely any woke shit at all"?
Just in case people have forgotten, there is no such thing as "non-binary", transitioning, pronouns, or any other made up bs from the left.
the vast majority of the world does not accept this, and will never accept this because it is not based in reality, and this lgbt propaganda in media will not last.
the steam & reddit forums can lock and delete threads, ban people writing this about this, the left leaning people can try making troll and bait threads like this, but i think as time goes on this type of stuff will be less common in games and media.
amerimutts and euroBlack folk will push this shit as long as black rock funding all their projects
>4 hours into the game
>I can't beat any combat encounters without a bunch of allies
Why are CRPGs so hard? I'm on normal difficulty and I'm barely into the game but I'm apparently already underleveled.
What do you mean without allies? Are you trying to go solo?
they literally saved it all for the third act. There's a thread up for it now
Hehe Astarion is so hot
Buy an ad.
Do you know how little effort it takes to create a thread on Ganker? You’re a moron if you think people need to be paid to do this
There are 200 threads in the catalog, this board has had at least 5 of them be related to this game for the past 3 months, anything slightly controversial gets banned by the smalldicked Black person mod that got doxxed.
This board is 100% compromised with people that get paid for it to be what it is while posters who push back get banned.
If this place is no different than the discord these trannies pretend to be gods on, I will use the minimum amount of free speech still remaining to tell them to go frick themselves.
The only reason why the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973 was because of their violence and threat of violence against the doctors during their vote.
troony and gay terrorists need to frick off.
>anything slightly controversial gets banned by the smalldicked Black person mod that got doxxed.
>This board is 100% compromised with people that get paid for it to be what it is while posters who push back get banned.
So how the frick are you and all your posts still here moron?
>the board dedicated to discussing video games has several threads for one of the biggest games of the year
What a shock.
You would've had a heart attack if you'd seen how this board looked during the smash hype months.
>You would've had a heart attack if you'd seen how this board looked during the smash hype months.
When it allows threads FOR something but not AGAINST something, yeah, the moderation is complicit and is being paid to promote this shit.
The Black personhomosexuals that do it for free decided they better make some cents on the dollar on the side to ban people whose politics they disagree with in order to advertise for these garbage games.
>So how the frick are you and all your posts still here moron?
I get banned constantly because of the troony moderators, don't worry about it, posts will be gone soon.
The only people who don't get banned are the homosexuals pushing interracial and troony shit.
You’re a blind idiot if you haven’t seen the endless amount of thread and posts shitting on this game
So you're saying it's okay when Nintendo does it?
It's mostly just that it's been over ten years of this shit being shoved down people's throats, and most of you have been indoctrinated into this way of thinking, particularly the zoomers who don't know anything else. You can't recognize world building, characters or narratives that ooze with woke shit, unless you literally have gay sex on the screen. The regular woke writing is just the norm to you.
Or maybe the definition of woke is so vague that everyone uses it to refer to different things. For some people woke is an entire story about fighting racism, for others it’s the mere existence of a gay person in a story.
Both are progressivist, both are bad.
Gay people have always and will always exist anon, they’re not the result of a progressive agenda.
That's the main issue with that word. Literally every game or company is supposedly "woke" now. It's just ebonics for "awake". As in, this person is aware that X systemic problem is the real underlying issue as opposed to the prevailing narrative that Y cultural difference is the problem, so they are "awake"/"woke".
But then a few years ago, the term gained some popularity on social media. "That celebrity is woke because they said something cool about income inequality", etc. Then conservatives learned the term and started using it to refer to these same progressives, but instead of knowing at all what it meant, they used it as just another word for "progressive". So literally anything even tangentially related to progressive politics or even just not directly aligned with conservative or even further alt-right politics gets labeled "woke".
Fat dumb cop in your game?
Woke.
Gay person in your game?
Woke.
Non-white character in your game?
Woke.
It's a completely overloaded and meaningless term now that should be abandoned.
>meaningless term now that should be abandoned.
gaslight me more b***h
Not him, but the term has been severely diluted.
It's basically "racism" from 2014. It is now meaningless because brainlets have ascribed it to everything, to the point where even normies are sick of it.
This show depicts a black pers-
>Woke
This game lets you romance a ma-
>Woke
This movie's protagonist is a wom-
>Woke
Now, when there's real woke shit (all man is bad, all wahmen is good; all Black people good, all white people bad), criticizing it for being woke becomes meaningless.
The Boy Who Cried Woke
Yeah we get it, you have autism and can differentiate between organic szory and pozzed shit. You can now continue to polish your dragon dildos or whatever.
Stop being so woke.
He’s right. Go ahead, define woke, I’ll find an example of someone calling something woke that contradicts it.
>believes the opinion of anyone who uses the word "slop"
>esg slop
BG3 is definitely ESG compliant—you can tell by the vitiligo in character gen.
It's just not slop because it's been pretty polished (compared to other modern games) through years of paid beta tes—ahem I mean early access.
It is slop. It looks mediocre, it's horribly unbalanced, the story is shit, the relationship crap they clearly invested a lot of time in is still broken somewhere in the script.
>pretty polished
only if you stay on intended paths. my save is full of bugged dialogue because i killed bunch of important npcs and companions and the game has zero reactivity to this (people talking as if these dead people were still alive and in the story)
>long rest in grymforge caises every npc to disappear.
This game is bugged to hell and back.
>Shadowheart, Lae'zel and Karlach are among the best written female romance interests in the entire genre and caters to all the tastes Ganker had in women for over a decade, from an old sis tomboy to a 16 years old snarky goth girl in a bad company
>still throws a hissy fit about the game
I like both Shadowheart and Lae'zel a lot more than I expected, but Karlach is doing nothing for me. Maybe I had too high expectations for her.
>Karlach
Literally written by a Tumblerite, also does it bother you so much people have different opinions from yours?
If has non-whites and gayshit, yeah, it is propaganda garbage.
It is never ok, neither for gachashit, nor the drawhomosexualry, nor the final fantasy troons that already have a general on /vg/ to keep advertising here, and it wasn't ok for Diablo and the list goes on and on for advertising for these subpar games who are forgotten one week after launch.
>If has non-whites and gayshit
So BG1 and 2 were propaganda too, as well as literally every noteworthy game made in the last two decades
>Left 4 Dead is propaganda garbage
Go have a nice day.
You first, troony.
the women are fine only mildly cringe but alright, what bothers me is, that when having conversation with your male followers you have to turn them down every other dialoge option and try to doge the dick booby traps the writers layed out for you
Do the approve/disapprove messages actually influence anything narrative-wise or is that just if I'm trying to stick my dick in them
When it gets high enough, I think they tell you more info about their personal questlines. They seem to lead to rewards designed for that character, like how I got a new magic outfit for Wyll when we killed Karlach.
>Game has a woman that does something
>It's woke
>Game has no woman who does anything
>Everyone is men
>That means it's gay
>It's woke
Name one MASCULINE man in this game.
The player character.
Some non-white, I'm sure, I haven't played it yet but I am a mind reader, I understand the semitic mind behind it.
>some of them were probably very positive interactions.
Had one interaction with a homosexual on high school, he walked between my friend and me and told us:"This is my dream right here, a white boy fricking my ass and a black guy fricking my mouth".
homosexuals are disgusting freaks and hopefully all of them burn in hell.
Yeah and you also had an interaction with a gay guy at the grocery store when you asked him where the peas are, but you didn’t know he was gay so you don’t remember that one.
You do realize gays aren't all walking lisp stereotypes right?
>Had one interaction with a homosexual on high school, he walked between my friend and me and told us:"This is my dream right here, a white boy fricking my ass and a black guy fricking my mouth".
This happened. I was there. Then everyone stood up and clapped.
You are like a deranged feminist who brushes shoulders against a guy then claims she was raped.
Oh, was it you who wanted to get spitroasted?
Hopefully you will off yourself soon enough.
Yes, it is I, the incorporeal figment of your imagination. I have been hiding in the repressed corners of your subconscious mind, waiting for my opportunity to have gay sex with you.
Now neither of us will be virgins <3
Anon it would have been hot as hell if that happened with a girl and you fricking know it
I'm sorry, women into zoophilia wanting to have relations with groids are not my thing.
But whatever floats your boat, buddy.
>I'm sorry, women into zoophilia wanting to have relations with groids are not my thing.
This. White people are animals.
>the girl is simply "not your thing"
>the guy is "a disgusting freak" who should burn in hell
Clearly no bias which is what I was >implying
The dwarf trying to overthrow that drow leader was masculine, as was the drow. Too bad both got shoved into lava during the fight and melted in my playthrough.
Halsin is a fricking Chad. That's right, the bear guy that everyone memes about without even realizing the bear is actually a dude. He's only as gay as the player makes him, being player-sexual like literally everyone else, and he's a macho alpha in charge of the druids. The player can tell him stuff like
>I think you made a wise choice
And Halsin literally responds with
>Yeah, I don't really give a shit what you think, but that's nice of you to say.
He's full of stuff like that and also built like a brick shithouse.
>Player: You're very shrewd
>Halsin: Contrary to popular belief, druids aren't just a bunch of dumb tree-hugging hippies and can actually make astute political decision
He didn't say it like that, of course, but I like to think he was thinking it
Astarion(Ascended). That sex scene was fricking hot.
The wokest shit I got was a slight hint of Astarion trying to hit on my and I just stopped him dead on his tracks and he was like "it's cool mate".
>Be me
>Play BG3
>Male companion hits on me
>Simply say no and move on
>Be (You)
>Play BG3
>Male character hits on you
>Proceed to have an autistic meltdown and spam your garbage nonstop on Ganker
The irony is that the homosexuals complaining about being hit on by male characters are the same as the feminists back in gamergate days complaining about every interaction being sexual assault or some shit.
lol funny how the shoe is on the other foot now. The Gale stuff isn't even as bad as people getting Chrom'd in Fire Emblem Awakening.
>as people getting Chrom'd in Fire Emblem Awakening.
Context please.
Listen, I read that there is gay shit in this game, therefore I’m not playing it. Simple as.
