sexual maturity starts with puberty.
a 15 year old is an underage woman if you go your definition
woman is actually defined as adult human female and THAT includes not being underage
Everyone is a child until their brain fully develops at around 25. Nobody takes you seriously until you’re thirty and that isn’t because they’re being dicks, it’s because they have already been there and done that and know what’s up.
It’s the truth regardless of how it makes you feel. If you’re still undergoing development, you aren’t a literal adult as-per the definition of the word.

I remember a thread, long ago in Reddit, some woman talked about a 24 years old woman as a "fresh out of her teens girl". That quote has stayed with me because it encapsulates the sheer idiocy of this.

Those are the women influencing the public discourse though. That's why this thread exists, because of these women dictating their mindset to weak men.
They don’t want to believe it but it’s true, they’d rather misrepresent what you say than concede. The world isn’t meant for thoughtful people but you are right.
nor the sex drive.
also baldurs gate 3 is a homosexual game made by homosexuals for homosexuals.
I hope and wish all homosexuals involved in the making of such sordid "game" to die in a fire
People have had sex purely for pleasure since that one time grug tried putting his peepee into grugette. You don't know what "people with common sense" think, it's just cope you've come up with in your head because you can't get laid, and you have to justify it somehow.
They... don't.
They don't reproduce sexually, they don't need holes. They just shove a tadpole into someone's eye and that turns the dude into an illithid.
They do. Mind flayer anatomy shares a lot of the humanoid anatomy. The dick is there. Read the fricking handbook that explains how ceremorphosis works moron. >B-BUT REPRODUCTION
They have an extra egg organ that shits tadpoles a bunch of times over their lives (mind flayers live like 130 years), that's where the "asexual" part come from, the gonads don't work. Otherwise a mind flayer can and most retains pee pee and vagoo >B-but they don't work
WRONG. Ceremorphosis don't delete organs, it actually enhances all organs within the host body with more nerves and mini-brains on each and every organs. More nerves = more sensitive areas, which means that mind flayer pussy and wieners are MORE sensitive and mind flayers are MORE vulnerable to sexual encounters if they do allow it (they have complete control over their nerves).
>character has turborape backstory and hates being sexualized >use him to advertise the bearfricking™ feature
What did the madlads at Larian mean by this
Man, true D&D fans must be crestfallen by now. All these normies are suddenly fans for the most moronic reasons and all gnomes are gay and vitiligo is rife.
I never got into D&D because I am a country bumpkin with no friends but I feel for the fans.
>crestfallen by now
What do you mean "by now"? We were creatfallen ever since Jeremy Crawford threw 30 years of D&D lore into the trash and replaced it with a heavy-handed gender studies lesson. And then made elves change their gender once per day.
There was this sliver of hope back when 5e first launch that is going to fix the mess that was 4e... and then Jeremy Crawford started fricking with the lore to make it more woke and everybody run away screaming.
It's because that was one big reason why people always craved it, it's why the idea of being a virgin was so awful after you were at a certain age. It wasn't the act itself, it was the ritual around it, a proof of trust and desire, and partaking in it carelessly lead to more emotional pain rather than less. However the last 80 years there has been a push to ignore and destroy that part, and in the last 20 it's got increasingly louder as more and more people over 30 just don't partake in the sexual acts or start family units, thus you get this passion of removing everything spiritual from it as a means to both cut against the idea of not having it in your life means you are missing out, as well as the hope it opens opportunities to fake the act, to have the sex without the love, not understanding that without the love it's like a torn and hole riddled blanket in the cold of winter, it does so little to keep you warm on the inside.
The “sex” in this game is so dumb and bait-and-switchy.
There aren’t any sex scenes in the game aside from Minthara which is still basically PG-13.
It’s so dumb.
>it's one chapter/apendices
And it's better than most other romances you see in fiction.
Also Beren and Lúthien is the greatest fantasy love story ever told. Fight me.
>LOTR movies
Threads over but I know lots of women who watch those.
And it's not even because of the hotties like Aragorn and Legolas, they like Sam and Frodo too.
Well you might be disappointed to hear that a few of those women definitely like it because they think it plays into gay undertones..... Especially Sam & Frodo.
Not all of them but uhhh, a lot of them. Fujos are stupid like that, but it can be hard to tell if they're being serious or just indulging in fantasy while being smart enough to know it's just their fetish and not actually real.
The latter can be forgiven, the former is just dumb.
I hate this fricking WEG bullshit. Absolutely one of the worst games in years. The echoes of dogshit that will emanate from its success will ruin video games for decades.
It's the exact same Bioware garbage where every character is (you)sexual at your command
It would be more impressive if characters actually had defined sexualities and would reject or accept sexual advances based on your sex, but something like that would be impossible to implement nowadays without being lynched
For whatever reason they’ve deciddd to go heavy on sex sells for marketing.
I guess because the climax makes it impossible to market based on having a good story.
Yeah if you look into it they changed a lot of things last minute based on early access feedback instead of having a spine and standing by their vision. And most of what they changed was for the worse.
Keeping the original dream-visitor-as-tadpole was fine. It didn’t need to be a big twist or reveal. You can have compelling stories without a twist.
The emperor/guardian is shit from start to finish.
If they ever have good modding support and I have a month to spare I want to put the emperor back as a minor act 3 character and have the visitor be the tadpole and Orpheus just with the same char-designed appearance in alternating dreams, with actual consequences for using powers, as seems to be the original intention from the songs and other data mined info.
>playtesters
Funny how there is a huge list of names in the credits and the game is an unfinished, rushed mess.
Was it 2 years in early access? While collecting money?
And in the end, I don't think Larian ever explained why the tadpole is so fricking superspecial. It just is, because the plot needs it to be. And on this weak foundation they've decided to build the entire plot.
Because after game of thrones the main thing that matters in fantasy medias are the sex scenes.
also journos are braindead, so they can only parrot a few words about gameplay as they heard from the devs and then quickly move on to story, aesthetic and politics
Astarion is effeminate because he is evil though. You'll notice that as a common thing throughout BG3, even. Which is why fricking a bear is deemed acceptable. A bear represents masculinity. Masculinity=morality
I'm just saying "why bears specifically are acceptable". Funny you mention Russia uses the bear as a symbol, because that proves my point. What a bear supposedly represents
>That homosexual Halsin is a degenerate who fricks anything that moves.
Cosplaying Zeus I see. Greek God liked to transform into literal bull and frick teen girls. Imagine having such religion...
>Astarion is effeminate because he is evil though
And? Fujos love evil men. They simp for pic related endlessly, a guy literally shoots a teenage girl in the head.
Nobody cares what homophobic women who fetishize gay men think anon. They don't even play videogames. You need to stop engaging with anime communities so much, it's rotting your brain.

They intentionally (mentioned in interviews) made it so it’s fairly difficult for a male Tav to romance anyone, and very difficult for a male Tav to romance any female. But a female Tav romancing anyone is easy.
It’s good and wholesome because female sexuality good male sexuality bad and threatening.
They even made the male companions less likely to come onto female Tavs — the game is weighted heavily towards gay relations for any Tav.
What the actual frick are you talking about you fricking moron
Within 2 seconds you have laezel wanting to frick you, and karlach and shadowfart yearning for you.
At least play the fricking game Jesus Christ
Sex in baldur's gate involves men and ugly women, sex in jap games involve pretty women. A woman's existence is based entirely on jealousy for other women, they don't think about anything else.
>Side characters being all Californian degenerate caricatures who exist only to have sex with you and their only topic is how much they want to bang you is actually way more mature than a game like Persona where you have to build up your relationship with them and work on yourself before you can attempt to even date them.
Western gaming is a fricking joke and Balding Gay 3 is the ideal proof.
The annoying thing is that in EA originally the companions were more off-putting and took a longer time to romance — SH had mild schizophrenia and Gale was much more arrogant, Wyll was actually a fraud, etc. But they let their vision be overridden by design by committee and turned it into everyone is basically okay, everyone wants to bang.
They changed them because reddit complained. That's literally how 90% of shit decisions in this game happened. For example our character was voiced in dialogue but redditors and new vegas trannies didn't want it.
It wasn't voiced, but had this D:OS2-style dialogue when the PC keeps talking in descriptions: >*I told Shadowheart to suck my dick*
The "vision" Larian had was to lazily copypaste all mechanics they could from D:OS2, until reddit told them to frick off, because that didn't work with D&D machanics.
And while Larian caving in and rewriting the companions was a violation of their "vision", it was for the best, because their original vision for them was awful.
Not that the companions are super-likeable in the finished game, but holy shit, they were awful before the rewrite.
It is "more mature", because this shit is ugly. Everything about "sexual content" in BG3 looks fricking ugly, that's why they praise it, while something that's not ugly is as insulting to them as if they were muslims and saw a caricature of Muhammad. Those "people" seem to have completely different perception of what's good or not compared to normal humans.

What part of sex that it got right? The characters just straight up bang you without much effort put on. These morons either have no idea how dating works or they consider one-night stands to be the ideal form of courtship.
This is because writing for that product was done by two group of people: fat deformed fujos consuming large volumes of yaoi and thinking that two male character talking meaans they have gay sex, and actual homosexuals who suck off strangers in public bathrooms on weekends. Of course they would make the game in a way that they know and love.
Shit's written like its an eroge. You're being railroaded into having sex with the characters. It's childish and like you said written by some twats who'd only fantasize about romance. What's irked me the most is how they tried to make it as if this is the true "adult" way.
Gay men are interested in real sex not in the boring homophobic garbage BG3 is. Literally not a single gay character in the whole game and all the romance options are gross heteroids.
And? He's player sexual, he's not gay, if he was a gay character he wouldn't be available for women.
Also likes dick, everyone does. And that's gay.
Mental gymnastics intestinal parasite ridden homosexual shill.
You being a mentally ill insecure homophobe is not my problem pal, Astarion is not gay. Gay men don't like women, seethe all you want, kick and scream because you want so bad to claim the game is woke despite gay men having zero representation in it, You can't change reality.

She immediately said "this is so incredibly disappointing, I wish you had gone for it with the female version instead". I don't know what gays and troons are getting out of this but she's straight woman and every time sex has come up in the game so far she's been either disappointed because it did nothing to appeal to a normal woman or thought it was degenerate shit.
The sex in this game has been extremely exaggerated by the conversation surrounding it. People go in expecting some literal porn game tier shit and are disappointed when they see it's just the usual barely-there sex scenes like in the Witcher.
Huh? Bioware had pretty tight sexualities for their characters in all mass effect and dragon age games except for DA2.
And the NPCs there weren't biscum, their sexuality literally depended on the protagonist. If you were male Hawke, Anders only talked about liking men, if you were female Hawke, Anders only talks about liking women and he never had a relationship with the old dude.
After Da2 came out, more games started doing it
Hell, my fricking Harvest Moon games have it
Bioware went back in Inquisition and Andromeda and there was huge backlash
nta and obviously this is nuWare but I still think it’s funny they patched in Jaal being a gay romance option months after the fact and acted like they’d always intended for that but where “prevented” from doing it somehow without elaborating on what the frick that could’ve meant (other than lying, of course)
im gonna be so disappointed after years of hype from your gays and finally loading up this game to see its just dragon age inquisition tier shit and the worst gameplay imaginable
Why would you ever even want to play this shit? All the positive posts are from shills and trannies, I haven't seen anything about the game that would make me even slightly interested in it.
i was a fan of bg1+2 back int he day, and planning to play through them before loading up BG3, also waiting for BG3 to fix the third act and release the cut content
the shills right now are acting like BOTW shills back then, when they claimed botw would revolutionize all of gaming and how no game compares etc etc, real delusional shit
Why would you want to play a "sequel" made by people who had nothing to do with the original game? It's like playing through Fallout 1 and 2 and then expecting Fallout 3 to be more of the same instead of Oblivion with guns.
>>It’s weird how gaming does this when in movies or books or anything it would be totally unheard of.
Huh? There have been a bunch of recent movies that were essentially the same thing, soft reboots using the name of a big property. Jumanji, Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters.
There was the G.E.C.K, the supermutants, Jet, the Enclave, the FEV, the Bortherhood of Steel and other easily identifiable Fallout plot highlights that Bethesda hastily googled from Wikipedia, all thrown into once nonsensical blender.
And to be fair, Larian did the same with the lore of Forgotten Realms an BG1/2.
>GAME HAS SEX WITH SEXY WOMEN IS EVIL AND PROBLEMATIC!!!!!!!!!! >GAME HAS SEX WITH GAYS AND ANIMALS IS WHOLESOME AND SO VALID!!!!!!
God, please nuke USA already
I bet somewhere out there some poor soul discovered his sexuality with this scene, jerk offd to Abby and became a confused mess. That's actually really sad.
I don't think any video games has got sex right. Video game romances are off-putting and lame. Everybody wants to frick you no matter how moronic looking you make your character.
The best way to play the game is to start the game, begin an online game, sign out of steam, open the game three times and make a normal adventure group. Start the game, save, close the three other games and restart steam.
Now you have a group without any freaks and stupid shit in it. You don't need to bring any of Larians godawful creations with you. And guess what, the game is better for it. You lose absolutely nothing and the game feels more serious and like a proper RPG.
>a girl being conventionally attractive in a showing off her body and also the game is from Japan
THIS IS PROBLEMATIC >disgusting mystery meat goblins whose gender you can't tell from a glance having poopy slimy orgies
Artistic genius
Kill the nightsong and you don’t have to.
Also am I the only one that thinks isobel was literally modeled after Jennifer Lawrence?
Looks exactly like her.
It's just a bunch of freaks and mentally ill clowns seething at normal people, that's what leftist politics is today. That's why the corporations can run around fricking everyone in the ass. Leftists, who are supposed to be the anti right wing/corporatist watchdog are too busy sucking bear dicks and dancing with trannies.
Aside from Final Fantasy 16, just this year we had Jedi Survivor.
I later found out there was some book that tried turning Merrin into a moronic dyke. Hilarious that the game completely ignores it.
Would find an audience. Girl on girl for the male and female gamer alike, provided both girls have good character design and don't perma seethe about men. And fujos eat any shit up.
Look, all the romance I want in video games is a tale of passion between a cynical female rogue who has decided over a life of hardships to trust no one and manipulate everyone, and the kind hearted and large statured knight whom she slowly falls in love with before they have a night of sweaty size-difference bed breaking sex.
Not a single game lets me do this and that's why games are not inclusive.
>...do you want to know what BG3 does with her?
please dont remind me.
larian went out of their way to take a gigantic shit on BG2 and im trying to memoryhole it.
To summarize: "It's ok because the women aren't attractive enough to make me feel insecure and most of the sex is with men or masculine creatures."
Sadly neither Eastern or Western games will do something like this for different reasons.
why are we ignoring the drow?
She is an ugly butch hag and no amount of shilling will turn that 6/10 into the 10 you homosexuals claim she is. Near every other drow in the game is hotter than her.
>having sex with a squid person is so much more mature than a hentai game

i actually uninstalled this horrible game when the naked shirtless Emperor offered to suck my wiener.
This was it, i was just sick and tired of all the fricking cringe in this "game".
Before that naked Emperor scene i had to say NO to at least a dozen sex offers.
This stupid mobile looking game isnt about illithids or tadpoles or any of that shit, its about getting sex scenes.
i still have it installed but i just dont feel like playing it anymore, im somewhere in act 2.
every single god damn dialogue is fricking cringe.
and the gay-ass sounding voice actors dont help much, especially the homosexual mage and the homosexual vampire.
I was thinking on playing this game but realized my pc is too weak for it, but every discussion has been about fricking other people and if i ask friends that this seems like a glorified porn game they keep telling me "just decline" but even yahtzee said that he didn't seem to have a choice in the matter of declining romance shit
Honestly just seems weird it has the name baldurs gate on it
its quite literally Divinity Original Sin 3, and dont let anybody tell you otherwise.
It has nothing to do with Baldurs Gate, gameplay wise, graphicss wise, music wise, writing wise.
It's a religious thing. Just as muzzies seem to calm down about women having to wear burka, it seems like a nation which was the example of 1st world just a few decades ago starts getting into it.
Attitude towards aesthetics related to human body is one of the litmus tests determining the general level of civilization. Americans are currently passing modern desert goatfricker level on a way to dark ages desert goatfricker level. While having half of planet's nuclear arsenal at their disposal.
but all those who push rampant degeneracy are anti-religious, they are not prudes
yet they ban and censor all the attractive girls from vidia going as far as censoring bare legs and mild cleavage
Definition of religion isn't "belief in magical shit done by desert god". Definition of religion is "closed system of beliefs that stands on infallible dogmas".
Whatever gets called "progressives" or "left" or whatever today, is as religious as it gets. Those people are zealots aggressively spreading their shit and attacking things contradicting it, even if those just want to be left alone. Their religion just revolves around different values than for example Islam, however they demand total eradication of things considered undesirable by it just the same.
>Definition of religion is "closed system of beliefs that stands on infallible dogmas".
There is point but.
Liberal "religion" is fake religion it has its clothes but has no substance. As you said religion is based on dogma, axiomatic word of God that can't be denied because it comes form higher entity. Leftist ACT like that but they don't have that actually "word of God" to lean upon. Their dogmas are man made and they can scrutinized and found false like everything else man does.
>but has no substance
What if I tell you that it has the substance, average peon followers are just not let in on it since propaganda and peer pressure already does the job. The "progressive" religion in question is a derivative of freemasonry, which got so much "word of god" and shit it can easily mog other world religions in that department. There will be no proofs of course.
>Most people are hypocrites and egoistic buttholes
Imagine my surprise. It's like when people talk about freedom, they generally mean their own freedom, not other's.
Its about the way it is presented and who its pandering towards. The maturity of the parties involved and the tropes the content hits on.
Asian shit usually focuses on the overt sexualization, dehumanization and objectification of the female body. Every stroke is custom-made to appeal to the male gaze.
What makes BG3 feel different is that both parties are given proper emotional maturity, depth and the way things are shot and presented does not feel as if its just there to make a fat nerd jerk off.
>multiple attractive non-evil male humans to choose from >only attractive non-evil female human in the game is gay >male humans are unrealistically jacked and pornified >female humans are underweight and curveless in a way that only appeals to pedophiles
At least make it equal though…
Underweight, non-human, evil, locked behind removing 30% of content from the game (grove invasion)
For all the whinging about the male gaze every character in this game with the partial exception of Karlach (who is “punished” for it with scarification and height) is built for the female gaze.
Underweight fashion model type bodies are only attractive to other women and pedophiles.
Also, how she's implemented makes no sense. Larian wants to hit those "I can fix her" Viconia redemption vibes, but to get her, you need to commit a genocide. And this kills the rest of the story, because she's not the one that needs fixing after that.

Yeah I went for Gale as a female Tav because I wanted vanilla, this is how bad it is.
The most shocking twist is that he's Greek. Should have told me that after he proposed. Fricking ruined lel
Because they were written by and designed by gay men. Look at the fashion industry, half the women look literally sick and set off biological alarm bells telling you not to breed with them but they’re showcasing work made my men who do not find women attractive to begin with. Same shit here, same shit in an awful lot of games to be honest. Your average coomer neckbeard is the dude told to make the model to design specifics and code in the dialogue written for him, not the other way around. Video gaming became too corporate.

>does not feel as if its just there to make a fat nerd jerk off.
lol
>such proper emotional maturity such depth.
Yes, absolutely. But I am not surprised you didnt catch it.
The point of the character doing this is not to provide sexual gratification, its part of her characterization and contributes to the later part of her personal story. The way the scene is shot and shown and the way the dialogue between the two is written conveys very specific points.
Same with Astarion - you can coerce him into doing shit he regrets. This is entirely tied into his story in an emotionally mature way. Or how he degrades you and turns you into a slave if you give him power. Imagine if he was a vampire anime character and how much harder these scenes would have leaned into a fetishistic sexual kink.
Of course its subjective, we are talking about artistic depictions of people fricking.
It being subjective does not mean you can not see a distinction between the two representations and see that one of them is more geared towards the sexual gratification of the consumer than the other.
Jap: "humans are sexual creature, what normal people like is normal, the rest isn't"
West: "normal sexuality bad, crass fetish porn starring degenerate uggos good"
It panders to westerner deconstructive unidealized sexuality and so it's "good". The sickness embracing the west where the unidealized is "mature" which easily becomes the mistaking of ugly for good.
its normal people who hate it vs pathetic coomer nerds.
its good that people hate this cringe game.
im getting tired of famous old franchises getting destroyed.
fallout already got fricked.
star wars got fricked.
now baldurs gate got fricked.
Holy frick this. I was sold on the idea that Karlach is the best romance option, but frick me this twat acts like a teenager in a Marvel fricking movie. Never even bothered to romance her. But I do pity her backstory.
i couldnt stand any of the companions, i just canceled all their cringe dialogues and didnt talk to any of them throughout the whole game, up until i uninstalled BG3 when i saw how ugly act 3 looks like. >the gay homosexual mage with the accent of the guy from IT crowd >the gay homosexual vampire acting like a princess >the red demon b***h throwing shit-fricks around every second like i was watching Deadpool >some dumb Black person >obvious coombait cleric
im just gonna say it: cringe game for pathetic cringe people.
i couldnt stand playing this shit.
You still hear his voice outside of dialogue.
I can see where they were going with the loftiness of it but it is way over the top. I get it, you're fancy.
The Emperor is constantly manipulating, deceiving and seducing you to try to get his way. Not the first victim he's done it, either, think he even did it to his gay dragon friend when he was still human. He's a right proper creep.
Friendly reminder that this is Balduran of all people.
I assume in the Larian version of Warhammer Fantasy cRPG, Sigmar will be turned into a Chaosspawn, because subverting expectations.
The fact that he's Balduran is revealed in a quest of a character no one likes or ever uses
Why put the underwater prison and dragon bro in the black guy's quest? They tried too hard to make him interesting, overcompensated and failed
Basically it's subversive, ugly and owns the chuds unlike the idealized images of beauty. This defines western thinking today and drives why everything it does is ugly.
Wyll is a good bloke, even goes to hell willingly with Karlach.
Reaally seems the writers wanted a romance route between NPCs there but had to make them playersexual.
I played 13 hours of BG3 and decided to stop for now. Keep in mind the following : I played and finished bg 1 and 2, as well as every other larian games (including earlier divinity games and dragon commander).
On the one hand, BG3 has some of the best reactivity and roleplay options, as well as presentation (fully animated dialogue for every line is impressive, even if many are hit or miss).
On the other hand... it suffers from so many things. First the music. It's the worse out of any Larian game by a huge margin. I know Kiril was one of a kind, but even his successor did a decent job in OS2. Here the music could literall be absent no one would notice.
Then the writing, is very obvious to be done by a extensive team of females. By this I mean it is inconsistent, sometimes good, often terrible, and sometimes that inconsistency shows within one same dialogue - especially with the sudden romance shit.
Then the story, which felt weak so far but had never been a strong point in larian games (except in ego draconis II, the best larian game). However I heard it gets much much worse as the story devolves and most things are ignored or never explained, unfinished etc.
My sincere hope is that a definitive edition will come out and it will be the most "definitive" edition they have done yet, actually finishing the game, remaking the generic music and making the writing more consistent. But the truth is, despite the ambition, scope, presentation of the game etc, the other day I booted arcanum and was instantly hit by numerous layers of perfect fundamentals of RPG that BG3 was completely lacking. Today, the one real reason to play BG3 is if you want degenerate sex in a well presented rpg with cutscenes on every dialogue. For everything else about rpgs, the game falls short.
for Baldurs Gate fans, this is the worst possible sequel imaginable.
If you actually saw how Baldurs Gate city looks like in act 3 im pretty sure you would alt+f4 uninstall the game right then and there.
i didnt expect much from it the moment i heard the announcement that larian is behind BG3, but i didnt expect that it would be THIS bad.
They didnt even try to make it look different from DoS2.
They just copy pasted that shit and changed the title.
I think the worst part of all of this is everyone wanting sequels to classics like Icewind Dale, KotOR, Neverwinter etc. to be done by Larian.
I really, REALLY want them to leave those games untouched as their stories are complete and are the works of other developers. Just let Larian do their own IPs or work within a different story within a franchise's setting.
BG3 at least has this weird place in the Forgotten Realms canon where it isn't really a sequel to the original Baldur's Gate games so I don't really consider it a sequel at all.
That's what I've been saying since BG3 got announced. We don't need a sequel to ToB. The story is definitively finished, it ended on a high note, there is nothing left to say.
I don't care about some tacked on "150 years later" sequel, where every BG2 NPC gets shat on.
Yeah, BG3 is REALLY unfocused. It tries to tackle 3-4 main plots at once and kinda loses track of them around Act 2 and then Act 3 just falls apart. Just focus on ONE plot and deliver it through to the end. I don't need illithids, the Dead Three, Avernus, Shar and the gith all crammed into one plot, struggling for attention and that's on top of all those origin character-specific backstories that override the main quest if you decide to play as let's say Gale. And once again, the custom PC is left without content.
>Avernus, Shar and the gith all crammed into one plot
Those are all just companion side quests. The main plot has its issues but it's ultimately pretty simple, three evil dudes, each a chosen of one of the dead three, are using a powerful magical artifact to control an ilithid elder brain, which they can use to infect people with dormant ilithid tadpoles and then control them using the elder brain's power. A bunch of powerful people are interested in this, some because they're trying to stop this obviously evil plan, others because they want to take that power for themselves, others just because the three dumb c**ts playing with powers they don't fully understand are stepping on their turf. I think it's a good enough setup even if they didn't use it that well in the end.
>Those are all just companion side quests.
NTA, but that's not true. The crown and the prism are all part of the main quest, and that involves Avernus (where the Crown was) and the Prism (Gith relic, Shar got it via Shadowheart).
>Avernus (where the Crown was)
This hardly makes Avernus an element of the main plot lol, it's just where the magical mcguffin was stolen from before the game even started.
>the Prism
I guess, but if you don't engage with Lae'zel's quest it doesn't really matter beyond being another magical mcguffin that you basically start the game with and that makes you special by protecting you from the elder brain's control.
I think it's a good idea to have these plot threads that can be used to tie side stuff into the main plot, you don't have to care about the gith's succession drama but if you do it doesn't feel like pointless sidetracking to solve some unrelated political dispute while the world is ending because it is ultimately tied to your end goal in some way.
The fact that Dead Three are fricking around with illithids is stupid in and of itself.
It's like ISIS investing in a space program in order to contact aliens and use their tech to gain new recruits. I am sure there are way less contrived ways to get the same end result.
The epilogue makes a specific point of this with Withers condemning the three idiots and banishing them. It was all part of a very complex Grand Design which you need to have a high IQ to understand.
...don't remind me about Jergal fricking around in our camp because he's bored.
Also, I guess it's Larian's hat to dismiss their own plot holes with the "lol, it's meant to moronic" excuse. They've been doing that since Divine Divinity. Just bdcause you are self-aware about the plot being moronic, it doesn't stop it from being moronic.
Joss Whedon is a bad writer, stop copying him.
Withers is Jergal. You know, the ancient Netherese god of death, that served as the predecessor to both Kelemvor and Myrkul? He's just... chilling.
Wasn't there some asspull plot point in BG3 that gods can no longer personally intervene in mortal affairs?

>Them fricking up the natural flow of souls is what made him get up out of his coffin.
It would need much more to interrupt the flow of souls than this stupid cult that the Team Rocket has cooked up. Like, dunno, destroying entire realm of Cormyr or some shit. And it that case, Kelemvor would've intervened IMMEDIATELY. Also, mind flayers do have souls, it's just that Illsensine calls dibs on them. So, this whole plot grants the Dead Three absolutely nothing outside of fueling some eldritch horror that hates all of Faerun for free. But Larian know frick all about FR cosmology and WotC doesn't care.
It's funny how much focus the devils get in act 1 and then Zariel gets dumpstered because Karlach is barely finished and Raphael turns into a moron who's been plotting millennia to give a party a hammer to free a frogman they might not give a single frick about
>how much focus the devils get in act 1
What focus? Zariel is mentioned a few times but mostly as a background character in Karlach's background with Gortash being the real focus, and the rest is just Raphael and Mizora, both of whom stick around until the end with Mizora continuing to be a relevant part of the Black person's companion quest and Raphael doing pretty much exactly what he promised to do from the beginning of the game, trying to tempt you into making a deal with him to solve the tadpole situation. Although I do agree that they fricked up by making it so easy to avoid Raphael's "help", if you do absolutely nothing all game and just follow the path of least resistance you can let the emperor eat Orpheus and reach a perfectly acceptable conclusion that way, which makes Raphael's offer seem way less tempting.
I made him take the special tadpole because his jump distance made him stop following me one too many times.
Also the special tadpole dark veins is definitely yet another thing where they thought using something from TW3 would somehow transmogrify it into being good.
I mean I guess that's technically true, female underwear has to cover the breasts as well while the male versions can just cover the bottom. I didn't know that was an insidious israeli conspiracy to destroy the west.
She's the only half-decent woman in the game you can frick and spends most of the game with a hairstyle designed to be unattractive. And even then she's just standard attractive; not as hot as the average female you'd get from a JP game. Also she constantly talks about how much she wants to frick people other than you, particularly the bear.
>This the game that you can undress and stare at fully nude rendered models of the characters?
Correct. Its like comparing a nudist beach to a strip club.
I wonder if whatever moronic c**t wrote that is autistic, considering it's the most embarrassing, cringy, poorly written "sex scenes" in gaming history.
right now bestiality has less stigma than age gape, thanks to smartphones giving women the control of the information throught endless clickbait and pink consumerism
All I've gotten out of this thread is that it's "mature" because some people with a political lean want it to be due to bias and in reality it's not actually mature and having had experience with Larian through Divinity before I have no doubt that "maturity" plays no part in what they do. The arguments haven't convinced me otherwise. This is some pathetic grasping just to own nerds on the internet. Wasn't bear sex supposed to just be a sex joke? Now you're adopting it's sexuality as legitimately mature just because of who you think it owns to do so.
The thread's OP literally highlights the word "immature" being used by these journalists. You're trying to frame people who aren't falling for this shit as people chasing at shadows, when the narrative being pushed is as clear as day. If being fricked by a squid and a bear is being seen as "stunning and brave", I don't know what to tell you.
i didn't like bg3 that much, it was too simple for me compared to other crpgs which is fine, it's just not for me
also the game really is way too horny too, it makes taking the companions seriously hard
the companions are also super shallow and badly written, compare for example to pillars of eternity, baldurs gate 2 or even pathfinder : wrath
honestly pathfinder is a pretty high bar to reach for complexity, but baldurs gate 3 manages to be really simplified which kills it for me
like i said baldurs gate 2 and 1 are more complex, and pillars of eternity to an extent when it's not bugging out
fallout 1 and 2, underrail
Ah yes, Baldur's Gate 1 where you cast a couple of buffs and then watch martials auto attack enemies for 20 seconds like you're playing an MMO. Or Fallout with its incredibly complex turn based gameplay where every turn you can choose between shooting a gun or maybe not shooting a gun. Literally just mindlessly parroting "old game good" bullshit like a good Ganker drone.
That's why I said BG1. BG2 is weird because it starts at a high level since it's a direct continuation of the first game, so if you didn't play the first game you get thrown into the game's equivalent of BG3's end game fights immediately as your intro and then things keep escalating from there.

BG1 is just as hard, though. If not harder, considering you start at lvl 1.

Hard does not equal complex. Having the early game be difficult because your lvl 1 wizard has 6 HP and no spells doesn't make the combat inherently more interesting.

thanks.
no reason to write more than a sentence about it, its common knowledge is both hard and complex.
i actually had to learn what the spells do and i feel like theres hundreds of spells in BG1+2, in BG3 i just cast smite or eldritch nuke and thats it.
its anti-compled and anti-hard.
or, to put it simply, its dumb and easy.
except those systems that lead to that combat are infinitely more complex and fun to fiddle around with
bg3 is too simple, all the builds feel and play the damn same
Please explain to me how the systems that lead to the combat in Fallout are more complex, interesting or fun than BG3.

alright, depending on my build in fallout 1 i can be a grug that does nothing but grug smash, be moronic and be unable to talk to people
be a smart ass that can hack locks open, shoot laser weapons and use other bs
be a dex gay using a dagger that sneaks around enemies to avoid encounters
be a speech build that avoids 99% of combat by talking out of it
be a sniper that shoots enemies before they get there, learn how to pick locks repair things etc
there are many reasons to replay fallout 1, i see zero reason to replay bg3

Literally everything you said is true about BG3 except for the low int meme dialogue and the fact that you can't skip as many fights as in Fallout, but that was also true about BG2 since this series has always been more combat focused.

What? It's just like in Fallout, it depends on your build. If you want to be a dex gay who sneaks around enemies you need a certain build, if you want to be a grug smash barbarian you need a different build. A key difference is that you can have different characters in your party handle those different roles but that's just good DnD party based adventuring, and also a thing in the old BG games.
A lot of it is due to how fricktarded and barely existent the AI is. I think I saw like 2 enemies use Haste the entire game. Kingmaker's AI defaulted to just sperg rushing the first thing it saw but even that felt more meaningful and capable since at least it performed its one moronic decision well instead of stumbling around and doing nothing half the time
yeah i think i realized that when an enemy archer marked me as prey, then walked back and forth wasting its turn then took one shot at shadowheart who wasn't marked
I know people dont like the new Wolfenstein games that much but I think the main romance in it was very well done, specially the train scene with how and why it happens in the first place, in such terrible conditions they both search for something good and a way to keep their minds out of all the misery.
Even if then you also have other much more ridiculous sex scenes it still sets a very well earned romance between two characters during wartime
Played BG3 and got burnt out by the shitty combat, dumb writing, the horniness, the edgy tone and the lame rather linear gameplay design.
It's even more jarring playing the original Baldur's Gate where it starts off like an adventure and feels like one throughout the games. You get to explore everywhere, you need to think more in combat, the characters are more likable and not everyone is a jarring britbong.
BG3 is just this generation's baby's first cRPG and for shit taste romancegays.

everybody who i know played BG3 just dropped it somewhere in act 1 or act 2.

BG fans hate it.
its exclusively a coomer game.
kek i dropped it in act 3, after the final fight in act 2 which was amazing visually but 3 bored the shit out of me

>how were they fricking up the flow of souls?
Something, something, illithids don't have souls (which is a bullshit retcon, by the way), so turning you into an illithid makes you soulless. And the problem is twofold - a) you would need waaaaaaaay larger scale than this one cult to interrupt the flow of souls, and b) turning people into illithids is not beneficial to the Dead Three who need souls to strenghten themselves.

Larian is everything BUT mature. I like the studio, their older games are fun and good, but the appeal is how immature their games are. Seeing them to BG3 and becoming the thing they were making fun for half a dozen of games has been disheartening. BG3 is fricking putrid and repelling.
There is nothing good in the world that you describe first and foremost as "inclusive"
It has gotten to the point that if they make a big deal out of anything being "inclusive" that it's a red flag for me
Yes.
Unironically yes.
A hentai “game” is not a fricking game you stupid weebs. Meanwhile BG3 has sex SCENES on their game. Its a fine difference in quality and standards.
But why would weebs have standards when it comes to hentai or porn or even fricking games? “Hentai games” fricking kys.
I started BG3 last month and quickly realized it was still in early access after playing through act 1 so I decided to drop it for now.
Went back to older RPGs (played bg2 and Arcanum since) and man it makes the comparisons very obvious.
You don't REALIZE how fricking HORRIBLE and UNLIKABLE the characters in bg3 truly are until you go back and play a normal rpg where your companions are fun, well written, have a nice consistent and interesting personality. You actually want to adventure with them.
It's simply insane how straight up unpleasant, disgusting, unappealing, repulsive, jarring, annoying, irritating and stupid the companions are in bg3. The game was literally ruined by dogshit writers.
It's also the weird way Larian writes all the dialogue. It doesn't sound natural at all, and then the voice actors are directed to play it out all theatrically and you feel like you are watching some pretentious high school play.
Larian has this George Lucas problem, where the writing may sound alright on paper, but you can't say that shit with a straight face.
>this slop is bad >but old slop is good
If you unironically simp bg2, the absolute supreme normalgay rpg slop that is entirely responsible for most of the moronic tropes of the genre including steamy romances for incels, you are part of the fricking problem.
>You aren’t the target audience any more friendo
This is how I feel with pretty much every game/media in the past few years.
I guess I'm no longer with "it".
There isn’t any.
You get 2.5 seconds of a square tentacle jittering over and clipping through your lower back, then it fades to black.
It has the graphics of LA Noire.
CRPG writers are influenced by fricking tumblr fanfictions and YA books for their romances, I wish they took inspiration from things like Ladyhawke or Lady of the Camellias instead (they only take the "love interest is a bawd" part from the latter)
This is correct observation. Modern video game writers don't read. You can't write good shit if you don't understand how good shit looks. I won't even ask for reading all the literary classics, but appropriate amount of something that isn't Harry Potter/other YA/tumblr fanfiction should be given.
the same people that call you a pedophile for liking cute girls in anime games are the same people that praised life is strange 2 for it's underage sex scene.
Same, also a ton of stuff is “”inspired by”” witcher 1/2/3 in obvious ways.
The black veins from potions -> black veins from astral tadpole and the flying visuals
BG is an obvious “what if novigrad but bigger” despite it making no sense in the narrative context
The resting system is basically the same
They tried to mimic the whole reactivity thing but outsourced too much so it’s bugged to frick.
>Jap women would rather frick animals than the average male jap
Will they ever learn that the reproduce psyops are not gonna work since it is not men who dont want to frick but women?

They have a point. Most hentais are bullshit nonsense cum splatterhouses. Those random plant tentacles or flesh pits spawning infininte wienerroaches need a fricking explanation people.
He called me on this while camping in the middle of the shadow lands. He's an undead priest, shouldn't he be happy that I'm focusing on getting shit done and not fricking around?

ftfy
Yes. And?
Not exactly a high bar
>underage
>women
Are you fricking moronic? The word "woman" means sexually mature female of our species.
sexual maturity starts with puberty.
a 15 year old is an underage woman if you go your definition
woman is actually defined as adult human female and THAT includes not being underage
Everyone is a child until their brain fully develops at around 25. Nobody takes you seriously until you’re thirty and that isn’t because they’re being dicks, it’s because they have already been there and done that and know what’s up.
This poster has arrived.
It’s the truth regardless of how it makes you feel. If you’re still undergoing development, you aren’t a literal adult as-per the definition of the word.
I repeat, the "if you frick a 24 year old you're a pedophile" poster has arrived.
I’ve never said that, I’m just saying you aren’t fully developed until around twenty five, which is an actual fact.
I remember a thread, long ago in Reddit, some woman talked about a 24 years old woman as a "fresh out of her teens girl". That quote has stayed with me because it encapsulates the sheer idiocy of this.
That’s just post-wall women screaming at the world because they’re being replaced by younger more attractive women. I wouldn’t think too much about it and I doubt she believes it either, just screeching into the void.
Those are the women influencing the public discourse though. That's why this thread exists, because of these women dictating their mindset to weak men.
They don’t want to believe it but it’s true, they’d rather misrepresent what you say than concede. The world isn’t meant for thoughtful people but you are right.
most people can comfortably separate fantasy and reality, but you wouldn't know anything about that, would you troon?
>Per chance if I shift the goal posts in a desperate bid to ignore the argument that will give me the win I need

Except that journos complain even when the characters are adults. They are only ok with bg 3 due to the constant gay pandering.

They want the same things 'coomers' want, often even more so
They're just not honest about it

It's just a fricked up scan, moron.
Wait, wait, wait. How do you have sex with an illithid if they reproduce asexually?
just shut up and shlick anon.
Orally.
It’s implied he shoves a tentacle in your holes
bros imagine getting those tentacles up your ass while he uses one to wrap around your wiener and stroke it, women truly cant compete
Virgin detected
Anon... You know you can have sex for purposes other than procreation, right?
Something that reproduces asexually wouldn't have sex organs like humans do.
nor the sex drive.
also baldurs gate 3 is a homosexual game made by homosexuals for homosexuals.
I hope and wish all homosexuals involved in the making of such sordid "game" to die in a fire
Some people with common sense would just call it sodomites
People have had sex purely for pleasure since that one time grug tried putting his peepee into grugette. You don't know what "people with common sense" think, it's just cope you've come up with in your head because you can't get laid, and you have to justify it somehow.
Missionary with the lights off and socks firmly on
I assume they still have the holes unless they say it's freaky psionic sex like the blue girls in mass effect
They... don't.
They don't reproduce sexually, they don't need holes. They just shove a tadpole into someone's eye and that turns the dude into an illithid.
What happens to the waste from eating brains?
It falls off.
who knows maybe there's no waste
They do. Mind flayer anatomy shares a lot of the humanoid anatomy. The dick is there. Read the fricking handbook that explains how ceremorphosis works moron.
>B-BUT REPRODUCTION
They have an extra egg organ that shits tadpoles a bunch of times over their lives (mind flayers live like 130 years), that's where the "asexual" part come from, the gonads don't work. Otherwise a mind flayer can and most retains pee pee and vagoo
>B-but they don't work
WRONG. Ceremorphosis don't delete organs, it actually enhances all organs within the host body with more nerves and mini-brains on each and every organs. More nerves = more sensitive areas, which means that mind flayer pussy and wieners are MORE sensitive and mind flayers are MORE vulnerable to sexual encounters if they do allow it (they have complete control over their nerves).
Tfw no mindflayer c**tboy to tie up and frick with his own tentacles until he goes insane
Wait, and sex scenes in BG3 aren't embarrasing and immature?
Sex with a bear is the cringiest shit I've seen yet.
Not to them, no
It's brave and bold!
It reveals that they literally approve of fricking bears IRL
the new superman cartoon had a gay gorilla/human couple in it :')
It's not about what they like. It's about it being diliked by people they don't like (normal people, straights, whites, men...)
You could simply choose not have sex with the bear in the first place. But you wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation
I made sure that Black person died

I never got into D&D because I am a country bumpkin with no friends but I feel for the fans.
>crestfallen by now
What do you mean "by now"? We were creatfallen ever since Jeremy Crawford threw 30 years of D&D lore into the trash and replaced it with a heavy-handed gender studies lesson. And then made elves change their gender once per day.
I also said "I never got into D&D", so I wouldn't know shit.
>Man, true D&D fans must be crestfallen by now.
True d&d fans gave up long ago. Today's d&d players are woke basedboys and troons.
There was this sliver of hope back when 5e first launch that is going to fix the mess that was 4e... and then Jeremy Crawford started fricking with the lore to make it more woke and everybody run away screaming.
Doesn't everyone min-max wheelchairs now because they have no downsides to be more "inclusive"? Funniest shit I've ever seen.

I find it funny how hard media tries to remove soul from sex.
It's because that was one big reason why people always craved it, it's why the idea of being a virgin was so awful after you were at a certain age. It wasn't the act itself, it was the ritual around it, a proof of trust and desire, and partaking in it carelessly lead to more emotional pain rather than less. However the last 80 years there has been a push to ignore and destroy that part, and in the last 20 it's got increasingly louder as more and more people over 30 just don't partake in the sexual acts or start family units, thus you get this passion of removing everything spiritual from it as a means to both cut against the idea of not having it in your life means you are missing out, as well as the hope it opens opportunities to fake the act, to have the sex without the love, not understanding that without the love it's like a torn and hole riddled blanket in the cold of winter, it does so little to keep you warm on the inside.

The “sex” in this game is so dumb and bait-and-switchy.
There aren’t any sex scenes in the game aside from Minthara which is still basically PG-13.
It’s so dumb.
Only women and gays care about romance in games or tv/movies. It’s why they watch shows like the Witcher and. GoT but will never watch the LOTR movies
You tried
Literally not even in the book. They took some appendices and gave it major screen time just for women.
One chapter, and it's about two broken people who learn to move on in life more than it is about romance.
Honestly. Tom Bombadil and Goldberry are the most romantic in the whole book.
>it's one chapter/apendices
And it's better than most other romances you see in fiction.
Also Beren and Lúthien is the greatest fantasy love story ever told. Fight me.
Yeah, women famously hate the lotr movies
>LOTR movies
Threads over but I know lots of women who watch those.
And it's not even because of the hotties like Aragorn and Legolas, they like Sam and Frodo too.
>man love between bothers in arms that isn't gay.
It was brilliant and there's not enough of it without all the bullshit queer bait.
Well you might be disappointed to hear that a few of those women definitely like it because they think it plays into gay undertones..... Especially Sam & Frodo.
Not all of them but uhhh, a lot of them. Fujos are stupid like that, but it can be hard to tell if they're being serious or just indulging in fantasy while being smart enough to know it's just their fetish and not actually real.
The latter can be forgiven, the former is just dumb.

>muh cope
yeah, definitely seething
Nothing you say will change that you're moronic and people will look down on you for that
There are almost no female characters in LOTR. That's why women don't care about it
I hate this fricking WEG bullshit. Absolutely one of the worst games in years. The echoes of dogshit that will emanate from its success will ruin video games for decades.
It's the exact same Bioware garbage where every character is (you)sexual at your command
It would be more impressive if characters actually had defined sexualities and would reject or accept sexual advances based on your sex, but something like that would be impossible to implement nowadays without being lynched
Why do games insist on putting sex in their games if 80% of men have never had sex?
Because then they can live out their make believe sex ingame with their shitty waifus. Duh. Sex sells. It's as old as time itself.
If other races existed on this planet, i would want to sex them
if aliens existed, i would want to sex sex sex them
You can't even sex a human.
No
>If other races existed on this planet
homie just go to Thailand like a fat old boomer if you want to bang other races on easy mode.
Degeneracy for me, not for thee.
I used to think of porn when I saw this pool, but nowadays I just think “I miss the Kamen Rider Club so goddamn much” and then of porn
That pool belongs to a nice man who knows how to leverage his assets.
Is it true it overlooks a middle school?
Gives schoolgirls something to look up to.
Based fricking Fourze enjoyer. I hope Gotchard will be guilty pleasure like Fourze is for me.
Guilty? Fourze was excellent, nothing wrong with appreciating that at all. Don’t judge yourself for liking something
My degeneracy good
Your normality bad
The stairs have no room for a person to get out of the pool propperly without bumping your head against the window and this is making me anxious
I've seen this meme countless times without having seen a single porn flick of it
>the kickstarter for a scale model of that pool failed
feels bad man
Why is every review about how much you can frick the characters instead of literally anything that matters?
For whatever reason they’ve deciddd to go heavy on sex sells for marketing.
I guess because the climax makes it impossible to market based on having a good story.
Just the climax? The whole story is barely keeping itself together from start to finish.
Yeah if you look into it they changed a lot of things last minute based on early access feedback instead of having a spine and standing by their vision. And most of what they changed was for the worse.
Keeping the original dream-visitor-as-tadpole was fine. It didn’t need to be a big twist or reveal. You can have compelling stories without a twist.
The emperor/guardian is shit from start to finish.
If they ever have good modding support and I have a month to spare I want to put the emperor back as a minor act 3 character and have the visitor be the tadpole and Orpheus just with the same char-designed appearance in alternating dreams, with actual consequences for using powers, as seems to be the original intention from the songs and other data mined info.
>the 'Larian Way'
So 'Bioware magic' again but it's okay because it's my woke RPG
>playtesters
Funny how there is a huge list of names in the credits and the game is an unfinished, rushed mess.
Was it 2 years in early access? While collecting money?
“A donkey is a horse designed by committee” or however that saying goes.
And in the end, I don't think Larian ever explained why the tadpole is so fricking superspecial. It just is, because the plot needs it to be. And on this weak foundation they've decided to build the entire plot.
Because it was spawned by an Elder Brain infused with Netherese magic. Pay attention next time.
Is this trying to imply that AAA studios compensate their employees well? Pretty sure successful indie studios pay better.
Because after game of thrones the main thing that matters in fantasy medias are the sex scenes.
also journos are braindead, so they can only parrot a few words about gameplay as they heard from the devs and then quickly move on to story, aesthetic and politics
having sex with a squid person is so much better than being a pedophile
I fricked jesus in the astral plane, very nice
Doing this as a gnome so that all I could see was my little feet dangling down is still the most I’ve laughed at anything in a game to date.
What about hentai squid people?
I can't reconcile the difference in reaction between this and your average Japanese game. Either it's all ok or none of it is, surely?
Japanese games are evil because they primarily appeal to straight men. This game primarily appeals to women and queers.
This.
The gay vampire elf is pure fujo bait.
Can confirm. My fujo friend would never have touched a turn based game if not for him.
Astarion is effeminate because he is evil though. You'll notice that as a common thing throughout BG3, even. Which is why fricking a bear is deemed acceptable. A bear represents masculinity. Masculinity=morality
>bear
That homosexual Halsin is a degenerate who fricks anything that moves.
Don't look for meaning in the bear. You know what else is a bear? Russia.
I'm just saying "why bears specifically are acceptable". Funny you mention Russia uses the bear as a symbol, because that proves my point. What a bear supposedly represents
>That homosexual Halsin is a degenerate who fricks anything that moves.
Cosplaying Zeus I see. Greek God liked to transform into literal bull and frick teen girls. Imagine having such religion...
>Astarion is effeminate because he is evil though
And? Fujos love evil men. They simp for pic related endlessly, a guy literally shoots a teenage girl in the head.
Nobody cares what homophobic women who fetishize gay men think anon. They don't even play videogames. You need to stop engaging with anime communities so much, it's rotting your brain.
Extremely bizarre post. I don't even know what point you're trying to make.
It's funny, because they think the girl character deserved it for being too effeminate and weak. Just like Alfira.
>It's funny, because they think the girl character deserved it
>they think
They don't think. They just simp.
Toji is the only good thing about that show
“Evil is gay-coded” has basically existed as long as Disney has. There’s basically no record of it before that fricking mouse. But now it’s a trope that lazy writers follow without thinking.
>But now it’s a trope that lazy writers follow without thinking.
Doesn't that describe everything? Still the idea is that America has relied on the same general tactics for decades. Kirby is too happy? Sissy gay shit! He needs sunglasses and a trenchcoat!
>“Evil is gay-coded”
i mean if the shoe fits...
>“Evil is gay-coded” has basically existed as long as Disney has. There’s basically no record of it before that fricking mouse.
Its been like this centuries before Disney
Male demons like vampires for example tends to be effeminate/gender weird and the female ones promicuous and hated children. Basically they were written like this because its the opposite of the archetype the bible tells you to be
There was a whole decadent literature movement with tons of that shit
>Basically they were written like this because its the opposite of what's naturally decent behavior
fixed
>muh bible
you havent fixed anything, you just made it dumb. No doubt a common occurrence with you
I mean the goal is not to be as gay as possible, it can be just a background thing keen observers will notice
>you havent fixed anything, you just made it dumb. No doubt a common occurrence with you
t. seething abnormal with no argument
Thanks for proving my point
I like to defend twilight on the basis that vampires have never not been gay af and in a sense that means twilight has the best representation of them
The fricking mental gymastics a lariancuck has to go through to pretend as if this game wasn't more pozzed than Botswana.
> A bear represents masculinity. Masculinity=morality
the amount of stretch your thin brain has to do in order to cope being a fan of a israelite-washed game is hilarious
It's easy when you understand that the enemy for American big city types is heterosexual men.
Surprise, the people that have been antagonizing you for the last decade are also hypocrites.
>Verification not required.
They intentionally (mentioned in interviews) made it so it’s fairly difficult for a male Tav to romance anyone, and very difficult for a male Tav to romance any female. But a female Tav romancing anyone is easy.
It’s good and wholesome because female sexuality good male sexuality bad and threatening.
They even made the male companions less likely to come onto female Tavs — the game is weighted heavily towards gay relations for any Tav.
What the actual frick are you talking about you fricking moron
Within 2 seconds you have laezel wanting to frick you, and karlach and shadowfart yearning for you.
At least play the fricking game Jesus Christ
japanese games are trash
Sex in baldur's gate involves men and ugly women, sex in jap games involve pretty women. A woman's existence is based entirely on jealousy for other women, they don't think about anything else.
>Side characters being all Californian degenerate caricatures who exist only to have sex with you and their only topic is how much they want to bang you is actually way more mature than a game like Persona where you have to build up your relationship with them and work on yourself before you can attempt to even date them.
Western gaming is a fricking joke and Balding Gay 3 is the ideal proof.
The annoying thing is that in EA originally the companions were more off-putting and took a longer time to romance — SH had mild schizophrenia and Gale was much more arrogant, Wyll was actually a fraud, etc. But they let their vision be overridden by design by committee and turned it into everyone is basically okay, everyone wants to bang.
They changed them because reddit complained. That's literally how 90% of shit decisions in this game happened. For example our character was voiced in dialogue but redditors and new vegas trannies didn't want it.
It wasn't voiced, but had this D:OS2-style dialogue when the PC keeps talking in descriptions:
>*I told Shadowheart to suck my dick*
The "vision" Larian had was to lazily copypaste all mechanics they could from D:OS2, until reddit told them to frick off, because that didn't work with D&D machanics.
And while Larian caving in and rewriting the companions was a violation of their "vision", it was for the best, because their original vision for them was awful.
Not that the companions are super-likeable in the finished game, but holy shit, they were awful before the rewrite.
the cast was so unlikeable I uninstalled after like 3 hours.
It is "more mature", because this shit is ugly. Everything about "sexual content" in BG3 looks fricking ugly, that's why they praise it, while something that's not ugly is as insulting to them as if they were muslims and saw a caricature of Muhammad. Those "people" seem to have completely different perception of what's good or not compared to normal humans.
This. The sexuality in that game is simply repulsive, not hot.
true
American machismo, faux-realism
It has always been the same general mindset.
What part of sex that it got right? The characters just straight up bang you without much effort put on. These morons either have no idea how dating works or they consider one-night stands to be the ideal form of courtship.
This is because writing for that product was done by two group of people: fat deformed fujos consuming large volumes of yaoi and thinking that two male character talking meaans they have gay sex, and actual homosexuals who suck off strangers in public bathrooms on weekends. Of course they would make the game in a way that they know and love.
Shit's written like its an eroge. You're being railroaded into having sex with the characters. It's childish and like you said written by some twats who'd only fantasize about romance. What's irked me the most is how they tried to make it as if this is the true "adult" way.
it just racism. they inherently believe japanese people cant approach sexuality "correctly"
If I download the latest Fitgirl release, will my savegames work though, please respond
>degenerate filth shit and gay rape is "doing sex right"
Holy fricking shit women and nu-male homos don't deserve to be allowed opinions.
> It's a masterpiece of writing because it has gay sex.
LGBT rights were a mistake.
They hate yaoi though
gays are the perfect braindead consumers
Gay men are interested in real sex not in the boring homophobic garbage BG3 is. Literally not a single gay character in the whole game and all the romance options are gross heteroids.
Ass lion is the gayest character to be point of being homophobic
Astarion is a romance option available for women you dumb frick.
The first time you try to talk to him in camp as a male, it's him lying down with his legs spread open then he gets up and tries to frick you
And? He's player sexual, he's not gay, if he was a gay character he wouldn't be available for women.
You being a mentally ill insecure homophobe is not my problem pal, Astarion is not gay. Gay men don't like women, seethe all you want, kick and scream because you want so bad to claim the game is woke despite gay men having zero representation in it, You can't change reality.
Behold, the invisible gay wants visibility.
You're a weirdo. Stop gaslighting people into thinking a gay rapist vampire is straight.
While you talk like a seething schizo you are at least correct that every character in the game is bisexual, not gay.
Biscum are not a real sexuality, the characters are just straight, available to same sex just out of pity. Wyll, Astarion, Halsen and Gale just talk about liking women 24/7 and treat the player like a woman, let alone you're forced to bottom 99% 100% if you pick regular body.
Nobody raped you incel, nobody will EVER want to rape you, stop thinking you're desired, stop thinking you're a victim.
Projecting.
>Biscum
Oh, you're one of those. Okay, all your opinions are now automatically dismissed on grounds of moronation.
You have encountered a wild Farquaad. Ignore and move on.
lgBtq+ CHUDCEL
I played as a c**tboy and all cutscenes assumed I was male and topping. Maybe it assumes whether you’re a top or a bottom based on skill.
>Maybe it assumes whether you’re a top or a bottom based on skill
...it literally does.
Dunno who you're trying to gaslight, we all know you didn't play a troony. And men don't have "c**ts", so you didn't play a boy. Kys.
And yet I did and topped everyone while the game assumed you were a woman
Correctly, apparently
Curious!
>Maybe it assumes whether you’re a top or a bottom based on skill.
Keked
You are laughing, but there are actual skill check in the game to see if you are going to be top or bottom.
Also likes dick, everyone does. And that's gay.
Mental gymnastics intestinal parasite ridden homosexual shill.
His mannerisms and lilt and everything are so camp it’s borderline offensive.
Women with a conversion fetish are irrelevant.
He's a fricking caricature, and I thought Zevran was bad.
Check out this prolapsed anus pinching out blown out turds.
critics are always wrong and lame when it comes to sex in art
So it’s okay now to frick squids?
>now
You missed the memo
I prefer my loving squid maid
so why is this squid okay but not the squid in op
>was playing the game with my friend
>go to hell to get our contact back
>we break into Raphael's bedroom and meet his man prostitute
>my friend let's her character be seduced
>she asks him to stay as a man
>the MALE Raphael gets on top of her character and begins to gyrate like he's riding an invisible dick (while he clearly has none of his own)
>the narrator keeps saying how wonderful and mind blowing it is
She immediately said "this is so incredibly disappointing, I wish you had gone for it with the female version instead". I don't know what gays and troons are getting out of this but she's straight woman and every time sex has come up in the game so far she's been either disappointed because it did nothing to appeal to a normal woman or thought it was degenerate shit.
The game isn't really for anyone, it's entire existence is about subversion.
The saddest answer but also the most accurate one. It's about being anti-appeal and the devs patting themselves on the back
The game is for freaks, not healthy people. Most of the women playing the game are playing as a male character so they can have lots of gay sex.
The sex in this game has been extremely exaggerated by the conversation surrounding it. People go in expecting some literal porn game tier shit and are disappointed when they see it's just the usual barely-there sex scenes like in the Witcher.
Yes it’s dumb.
The rare male TERF got his schizo triggered
In witcher the sex is normal and involves appealing people
Correct.
Making everyone swing both ways is Bioware's legacy for the ages.
Huh? Bioware had pretty tight sexualities for their characters in all mass effect and dragon age games except for DA2.
And the NPCs there weren't biscum, their sexuality literally depended on the protagonist. If you were male Hawke, Anders only talked about liking men, if you were female Hawke, Anders only talks about liking women and he never had a relationship with the old dude.
After Da2 came out, more games started doing it
Hell, my fricking Harvest Moon games have it
Bioware went back in Inquisition and Andromeda and there was huge backlash
nta and obviously this is nuWare but I still think it’s funny they patched in Jaal being a gay romance option months after the fact and acted like they’d always intended for that but where “prevented” from doing it somehow without elaborating on what the frick that could’ve meant (other than lying, of course)
im gonna be so disappointed after years of hype from your gays and finally loading up this game to see its just dragon age inquisition tier shit and the worst gameplay imaginable
It's actually D:OS2 with more sex scenes.
It actually did remind me of dragon age with the terrible conversation cutscene animations.
Why would you ever even want to play this shit? All the positive posts are from shills and trannies, I haven't seen anything about the game that would make me even slightly interested in it.
Take out all the israeli subversion and the game is right up my alley on paper. Unfortunately, Larian though.
i was a fan of bg1+2 back int he day, and planning to play through them before loading up BG3, also waiting for BG3 to fix the third act and release the cut content
the shills right now are acting like BOTW shills back then, when they claimed botw would revolutionize all of gaming and how no game compares etc etc, real delusional shit
>i was a fan of bg1+2 back int he day
then stay away from bg3
If you are a BG1/2 fan, BG3 is not worth it.
It's like watching The Last Jedi after binging the Star Wars OT.
Why would you want to play a "sequel" made by people who had nothing to do with the original game? It's like playing through Fallout 1 and 2 and then expecting Fallout 3 to be more of the same instead of Oblivion with guns.
It’s weird how gaming does this when in movies or books or anything it would be totally unheard of.
>>It’s weird how gaming does this when in movies or books or anything it would be totally unheard of.
Huh? There have been a bunch of recent movies that were essentially the same thing, soft reboots using the name of a big property. Jumanji, Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters.
True…frick everything.
I swear the only reference was le S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and le G.E.C.K.
Should have NEVER gone 3D
There was the G.E.C.K, the supermutants, Jet, the Enclave, the FEV, the Bortherhood of Steel and other easily identifiable Fallout plot highlights that Bethesda hastily googled from Wikipedia, all thrown into once nonsensical blender.
And to be fair, Larian did the same with the lore of Forgotten Realms an BG1/2.
ngl I don't give a shit about this game but how are people simping en masse for this bowlcut b***h, she looks like a joke character
>GAME HAS SEX WITH SEXY WOMEN IS EVIL AND PROBLEMATIC!!!!!!!!!!
>GAME HAS SEX WITH GAYS AND ANIMALS IS WHOLESOME AND SO VALID!!!!!!
God, please nuke USA already
Reminder that Belgium is the seat of the great Satan, EU.
Yes gay people are evil.
No you can't do anything about it, because they won.
>baldur's gate 3 gets sex right
lol
no
The only "beliavable" sex is with two people engaging in it
any fricking "sex" that is just two models awkardly clipping on each other while one guy watches is just senseless waste of resources
I bet somewhere out there some poor soul discovered his sexuality with this scene, jerk offd to Abby and became a confused mess. That's actually really sad.
Still seething still coping
The chad squid tentaclefricked stelmane so good she had a stroke from it, just like in my dirty cartoons
I don't think any video games has got sex right. Video game romances are off-putting and lame. Everybody wants to frick you no matter how moronic looking you make your character.
The best way to play the game is to start the game, begin an online game, sign out of steam, open the game three times and make a normal adventure group. Start the game, save, close the three other games and restart steam.
Now you have a group without any freaks and stupid shit in it. You don't need to bring any of Larians godawful creations with you. And guess what, the game is better for it. You lose absolutely nothing and the game feels more serious and like a proper RPG.
Nah, the writing is still moronic.
the best way to play this game is to not.
the uninstall button comes in at a distant second if you were foolish enough to actually buy it
so its basically safe horny, those Black folks were on to something after all
we're so damn close to "bestiality is empowering"
we are already there, on gif mods allow 3d bestiality but not 3d jailbait
When do you even see genitals? I had them on and didn't see any
>a girl being conventionally attractive in a showing off her body and also the game is from Japan
THIS IS PROBLEMATIC
>disgusting mystery meat goblins whose gender you can't tell from a glance having poopy slimy orgies
Artistic genius
>brother says the only attractive girl in the game is that priestess in Last Light Inn
I don't have the heart to tell him
Kill the nightsong and you don’t have to.
Also am I the only one that thinks isobel was literally modeled after Jennifer Lawrence?
Looks exactly like her.
I want to see the look in his face when they lez out
when are they adding tentacle woman with big breasts and a nice ass
Player choice "romances" are soulless and not romantic.
Canon romance is where it's at.
Kino.
But problematic and heteronormative, sweetie.Literally transphobic too.
Simply headcanon all male characters as trans and it’s fine
I really wish XVI looked more like something I’d enjoy, I’m glad that at least a few anons got their moneys worth though
It's just a bunch of freaks and mentally ill clowns seething at normal people, that's what leftist politics is today. That's why the corporations can run around fricking everyone in the ass. Leftists, who are supposed to be the anti right wing/corporatist watchdog are too busy sucking bear dicks and dancing with trannies.
It really is an insane realization that vanilla is refreshing nowadays.
What games have this, bros?
It's so rare.
Witcher tbh
Yeah I played all Witcher games. 1 did it best.
Can't trust no sorceress though. Both use Geralt.
FF16 and The Witcher 3 (even though the latter is technically haremshit)
Witcher.
Its done with taste.
Aside from Final Fantasy 16, just this year we had Jedi Survivor.
I later found out there was some book that tried turning Merrin into a moronic dyke. Hilarious that the game completely ignores it.
Look into the woman who wrote that shit book for some hearty keks
Ico.
The whole game is like that.
bg3 unironically has handholding
>handholding
Disgusting and lewd
What about hand kissing?
inb4 canon romance is gay
Would find an audience. Girl on girl for the male and female gamer alike, provided both girls have good character design and don't perma seethe about men. And fujos eat any shit up.
I’m not a latent troon so I’m not interested in womanXwoman.
>I’m not a latent troon
Look, all the romance I want in video games is a tale of passion between a cynical female rogue who has decided over a life of hardships to trust no one and manipulate everyone, and the kind hearted and large statured knight whom she slowly falls in love with before they have a night of sweaty size-difference bed breaking sex.
Not a single game lets me do this and that's why games are not inclusive.
Pretty sure BG2 does this with a drow
Yeah I prefer “you are this character” RPGs over “make a character” ones.
>Pretty sure BG2 does this with a drow
...do you want to know what BG3 does with her?
>...do you want to know what BG3 does with her?
please dont remind me.
larian went out of their way to take a gigantic shit on BG2 and im trying to memoryhole it.
Yeah I know. It’s awful.
Pretty unnecessary cameo, that.
This but they must be both human.
You could probably convince some dev to do it as long as you don’t mind the rogue being canonically used goods
The kind hearted and large statured knight will be such a master at sex that he'll make her feel like a virgin.
Of course.
Well, it’s good to know you won’t mind then, I suppose
To summarize: "It's ok because the women aren't attractive enough to make me feel insecure and most of the sex is with men or masculine creatures."
Sadly neither Eastern or Western games will do something like this for different reasons.
She is an ugly butch hag and no amount of shilling will turn that 6/10 into the 10 you homosexuals claim she is. Near every other drow in the game is hotter than her.
>having sex with a squid person is so much more mature than a hentai game
Yes, let me explain.
>hentai squid sex, japan: ew
>porno squid sex, western: numale soia grin
i actually uninstalled this horrible game when the naked shirtless Emperor offered to suck my wiener.
This was it, i was just sick and tired of all the fricking cringe in this "game".
Before that naked Emperor scene i had to say NO to at least a dozen sex offers.
This stupid mobile looking game isnt about illithids or tadpoles or any of that shit, its about getting sex scenes.
Total fricking cringe.
>outplayed by Emperor
Sex and romance is a detriment to RPG's and attract the wrong people to the hobby. This isn't up for debate. It's a fact.
Brought too many women and the queers in.
My friend who doesn't play games is also across it.
i still have it installed but i just dont feel like playing it anymore, im somewhere in act 2.
every single god damn dialogue is fricking cringe.
and the gay-ass sounding voice actors dont help much, especially the homosexual mage and the homosexual vampire.
Play as a rogue do you can just kill the vampire on sight.
CRPGS : people dressed like monks and nuns talking about sex all the time
JRPGS : people in fetish gear talking about killing God
I was thinking on playing this game but realized my pc is too weak for it, but every discussion has been about fricking other people and if i ask friends that this seems like a glorified porn game they keep telling me "just decline" but even yahtzee said that he didn't seem to have a choice in the matter of declining romance shit
Honestly just seems weird it has the name baldurs gate on it
its quite literally Divinity Original Sin 3, and dont let anybody tell you otherwise.
It has nothing to do with Baldurs Gate, gameplay wise, graphicss wise, music wise, writing wise.
Please tell me Yahtzee shat on the game.
Considering it's yahtzee it's hard to say but he definitely said everyone was too horny
>degeneracy = good
>sexy girls = bad
MUTTERICA?
It's a religious thing. Just as muzzies seem to calm down about women having to wear burka, it seems like a nation which was the example of 1st world just a few decades ago starts getting into it.
Attitude towards aesthetics related to human body is one of the litmus tests determining the general level of civilization. Americans are currently passing modern desert goatfricker level on a way to dark ages desert goatfricker level. While having half of planet's nuclear arsenal at their disposal.
but all those who push rampant degeneracy are anti-religious, they are not prudes
yet they ban and censor all the attractive girls from vidia going as far as censoring bare legs and mild cleavage
Definition of religion isn't "belief in magical shit done by desert god". Definition of religion is "closed system of beliefs that stands on infallible dogmas".
Whatever gets called "progressives" or "left" or whatever today, is as religious as it gets. Those people are zealots aggressively spreading their shit and attacking things contradicting it, even if those just want to be left alone. Their religion just revolves around different values than for example Islam, however they demand total eradication of things considered undesirable by it just the same.
>Definition of religion is "closed system of beliefs that stands on infallible dogmas".
There is point but.
Liberal "religion" is fake religion it has its clothes but has no substance. As you said religion is based on dogma, axiomatic word of God that can't be denied because it comes form higher entity. Leftist ACT like that but they don't have that actually "word of God" to lean upon. Their dogmas are man made and they can scrutinized and found false like everything else man does.
>but has no substance
What if I tell you that it has the substance, average peon followers are just not let in on it since propaganda and peer pressure already does the job. The "progressive" religion in question is a derivative of freemasonry, which got so much "word of god" and shit it can easily mog other world religions in that department. There will be no proofs of course.
yeah, it's a religion with all the cons of the worst religions, and none of the pros
All sexy girls are degenerates, you can't refute this.
>Most people are hypocrites and egoistic buttholes
Imagine my surprise. It's like when people talk about freedom, they generally mean their own freedom, not other's.
Its about the way it is presented and who its pandering towards. The maturity of the parties involved and the tropes the content hits on.
Asian shit usually focuses on the overt sexualization, dehumanization and objectification of the female body. Every stroke is custom-made to appeal to the male gaze.
What makes BG3 feel different is that both parties are given proper emotional maturity, depth and the way things are shot and presented does not feel as if its just there to make a fat nerd jerk off.
>multiple attractive non-evil male humans to choose from
>only attractive non-evil female human in the game is gay
>male humans are unrealistically jacked and pornified
>female humans are underweight and curveless in a way that only appeals to pedophiles
At least make it equal though…
>closest thing to a fully-developed woman is covered in scars, locked behind a quest and then pegs you
why are we ignoring the drow?
Because not even Larian cares about the drow.
God, she's such a stupid character.
Underweight, non-human, evil, locked behind removing 30% of content from the game (grove invasion)
For all the whinging about the male gaze every character in this game with the partial exception of Karlach (who is “punished” for it with scarification and height) is built for the female gaze.
Underweight fashion model type bodies are only attractive to other women and pedophiles.
Her fricking voice, why
Also, how she's implemented makes no sense. Larian wants to hit those "I can fix her" Viconia redemption vibes, but to get her, you need to commit a genocide. And this kills the rest of the story, because she's not the one that needs fixing after that.
Yeah it’s dumb. Just write a tiny thing where you can let her escape without killing the grove.
Because she's an evil b***h that should be killed? Vicky at least saw the ways of the drow as evil, she's an unapologetic Lolth worshiper.
because she's an ugly drigger
>butch
>male torso
>mid face

You are blind
Yeah I went for Gale as a female Tav because I wanted vanilla, this is how bad it is.
The most shocking twist is that he's Greek. Should have told me that after he proposed. Fricking ruined lel
Waterdeep seems like a clear stand-in for Venice to me. Thought he was Italian.
Isn't he supposed to be Netherese? His stupid Mary Sue backstory really is something.
Are you moronic?
Because they were written by and designed by gay men. Look at the fashion industry, half the women look literally sick and set off biological alarm bells telling you not to breed with them but they’re showcasing work made my men who do not find women attractive to begin with. Same shit here, same shit in an awful lot of games to be honest. Your average coomer neckbeard is the dude told to make the model to design specifics and code in the dialogue written for him, not the other way around. Video gaming became too corporate.

lol
>such proper emotional maturity such depth.
Yes, absolutely. But I am not surprised you didnt catch it.
The point of the character doing this is not to provide sexual gratification, its part of her characterization and contributes to the later part of her personal story. The way the scene is shot and shown and the way the dialogue between the two is written conveys very specific points.
Same with Astarion - you can coerce him into doing shit he regrets. This is entirely tied into his story in an emotionally mature way. Or how he degrades you and turns you into a slave if you give him power. Imagine if he was a vampire anime character and how much harder these scenes would have leaned into a fetishistic sexual kink.
yeah, non-coomers wont get this.
i have never seen such pathetic cringe writing in any game that wasnt a WEG.
its mindblowing how absolutely god damn awful this game is when it comes to writing dialogues and story.
its pretty much unplayable for normal people.
All I read is that it's literally subjective interpretation.
Of course its subjective, we are talking about artistic depictions of people fricking.
It being subjective does not mean you can not see a distinction between the two representations and see that one of them is more geared towards the sexual gratification of the consumer than the other.
And that means absolutely nothing.
This IS sexually gratifying to them. They're not interpreting it in an indepth way, they're getting off on how "realistically ugly" everything is.
>mental backflips
cope
No. It's just fricking ugly. "People" genuinely seeing ugly bg3 shit as something arousing are brain damaged.
>everything is ugly on purpose to prevent boners
Could've just typed that and saved me a minute.
Jap: "humans are sexual creature, what normal people like is normal, the rest isn't"
West: "normal sexuality bad, crass fetish porn starring degenerate uggos good"
It panders to westerner deconstructive unidealized sexuality and so it's "good". The sickness embracing the west where the unidealized is "mature" which easily becomes the mistaking of ugly for good.
The image becomes the depth.
Anyone a part of this has fallen into the myth of the image as depth.
what a homosexual game
Why did this game mindbreak Ganker this hard?
its normal people who hate it vs pathetic coomer nerds.
its good that people hate this cringe game.
im getting tired of famous old franchises getting destroyed.
fallout already got fricked.
star wars got fricked.
now baldurs gate got fricked.
its just tiresome.
normal people is what you reatrd call coomers.
And they are VS degenerate who are into crass abnormal porn and hate normal appeal
Not a hard thing to do, Ganker mindbreaks itself over anything.
place is all about hating something that isn't you.
Calling out a shitty article and making fun of the moral highground that these journos stand on is "mindbreaking"?
Is that what you call calling a bad game bad?
Leftards can't meme
This thread goes for so long shitting on BG3 and it hasn't yet been torpedoed by fanboys or deleted.
Is the society healing?
It's the slowest time of day on the board and the game is now 3 months old, the fact it's being talk about still is the accomplishment
my hope in modern gaming will be restored when somebody announces an awesome new RTS.
As much as I enjoyed bg3 I have to say the sex scenes shouldn't have been left out. Too cringy. Also karlach has marvel writing, get rid of her
Holy frick this. I was sold on the idea that Karlach is the best romance option, but frick me this twat acts like a teenager in a Marvel fricking movie. Never even bothered to romance her. But I do pity her backstory.
>le marvel writing
If BG1 had come out in 2023 you Black folk would be whining about how Minsc is a cringe reddit character or whatever.
Kek. Only zoomers and kids like her. She's the shittiest character out of all of them.
i couldnt stand any of the companions, i just canceled all their cringe dialogues and didnt talk to any of them throughout the whole game, up until i uninstalled BG3 when i saw how ugly act 3 looks like.
>the gay homosexual mage with the accent of the guy from IT crowd
>the gay homosexual vampire acting like a princess
>the red demon b***h throwing shit-fricks around every second like i was watching Deadpool
>some dumb Black person
>obvious coombait cleric
im just gonna say it: cringe game for pathetic cringe people.
i couldnt stand playing this shit.
Pretty unlikeable cast
But in the end they play as what resembles a white man the most lmao
I’d be willing to play as ass lion just to not hear his awful scenery-chewing VA.
You still hear his voice outside of dialogue.
I can see where they were going with the loftiness of it but it is way over the top. I get it, you're fancy.
The Emperor is constantly manipulating, deceiving and seducing you to try to get his way. Not the first victim he's done it, either, think he even did it to his gay dragon friend when he was still human. He's a right proper creep.
The wrap up is so moronic

Friendly reminder that this is Balduran of all people.
I assume in the Larian version of Warhammer Fantasy cRPG, Sigmar will be turned into a Chaosspawn, because subverting expectations.
The fact that he's Balduran is revealed in a quest of a character no one likes or ever uses
Why put the underwater prison and dragon bro in the black guy's quest? They tried too hard to make him interesting, overcompensated and failed
>sex is for pedo rapist except when WE do it then it's provocative and inclusive!
I hate westerners so much it's fricking unreal.
Basically it's subversive, ugly and owns the chuds unlike the idealized images of beauty. This defines western thinking today and drives why everything it does is ugly.
Wyll is a good bloke, even goes to hell willingly with Karlach.
Reaally seems the writers wanted a romance route between NPCs there but had to make them playersexual.
I played 13 hours of BG3 and decided to stop for now. Keep in mind the following : I played and finished bg 1 and 2, as well as every other larian games (including earlier divinity games and dragon commander).
On the one hand, BG3 has some of the best reactivity and roleplay options, as well as presentation (fully animated dialogue for every line is impressive, even if many are hit or miss).
On the other hand... it suffers from so many things. First the music. It's the worse out of any Larian game by a huge margin. I know Kiril was one of a kind, but even his successor did a decent job in OS2. Here the music could literall be absent no one would notice.
Then the writing, is very obvious to be done by a extensive team of females. By this I mean it is inconsistent, sometimes good, often terrible, and sometimes that inconsistency shows within one same dialogue - especially with the sudden romance shit.
Then the story, which felt weak so far but had never been a strong point in larian games (except in ego draconis II, the best larian game). However I heard it gets much much worse as the story devolves and most things are ignored or never explained, unfinished etc.
My sincere hope is that a definitive edition will come out and it will be the most "definitive" edition they have done yet, actually finishing the game, remaking the generic music and making the writing more consistent. But the truth is, despite the ambition, scope, presentation of the game etc, the other day I booted arcanum and was instantly hit by numerous layers of perfect fundamentals of RPG that BG3 was completely lacking. Today, the one real reason to play BG3 is if you want degenerate sex in a well presented rpg with cutscenes on every dialogue. For everything else about rpgs, the game falls short.
for Baldurs Gate fans, this is the worst possible sequel imaginable.
If you actually saw how Baldurs Gate city looks like in act 3 im pretty sure you would alt+f4 uninstall the game right then and there.
i didnt expect much from it the moment i heard the announcement that larian is behind BG3, but i didnt expect that it would be THIS bad.
They didnt even try to make it look different from DoS2.
They just copy pasted that shit and changed the title.
I think the worst part of all of this is everyone wanting sequels to classics like Icewind Dale, KotOR, Neverwinter etc. to be done by Larian.
I really, REALLY want them to leave those games untouched as their stories are complete and are the works of other developers. Just let Larian do their own IPs or work within a different story within a franchise's setting.
BG3 at least has this weird place in the Forgotten Realms canon where it isn't really a sequel to the original Baldur's Gate games so I don't really consider it a sequel at all.
That's what I've been saying since BG3 got announced. We don't need a sequel to ToB. The story is definitively finished, it ended on a high note, there is nothing left to say.
I don't care about some tacked on "150 years later" sequel, where every BG2 NPC gets shat on.
Yeah, BG3 is REALLY unfocused. It tries to tackle 3-4 main plots at once and kinda loses track of them around Act 2 and then Act 3 just falls apart. Just focus on ONE plot and deliver it through to the end. I don't need illithids, the Dead Three, Avernus, Shar and the gith all crammed into one plot, struggling for attention and that's on top of all those origin character-specific backstories that override the main quest if you decide to play as let's say Gale. And once again, the custom PC is left without content.
Have you seen Swen? The man’s reddit in the flesh and probably just wanted to redo his favourite marvel slop stories in his own D&D OC
>Avernus, Shar and the gith all crammed into one plot
Those are all just companion side quests. The main plot has its issues but it's ultimately pretty simple, three evil dudes, each a chosen of one of the dead three, are using a powerful magical artifact to control an ilithid elder brain, which they can use to infect people with dormant ilithid tadpoles and then control them using the elder brain's power. A bunch of powerful people are interested in this, some because they're trying to stop this obviously evil plan, others because they want to take that power for themselves, others just because the three dumb c**ts playing with powers they don't fully understand are stepping on their turf. I think it's a good enough setup even if they didn't use it that well in the end.
>Those are all just companion side quests.
NTA, but that's not true. The crown and the prism are all part of the main quest, and that involves Avernus (where the Crown was) and the Prism (Gith relic, Shar got it via Shadowheart).
>Avernus (where the Crown was)
This hardly makes Avernus an element of the main plot lol, it's just where the magical mcguffin was stolen from before the game even started.
>the Prism
I guess, but if you don't engage with Lae'zel's quest it doesn't really matter beyond being another magical mcguffin that you basically start the game with and that makes you special by protecting you from the elder brain's control.
I think it's a good idea to have these plot threads that can be used to tie side stuff into the main plot, you don't have to care about the gith's succession drama but if you do it doesn't feel like pointless sidetracking to solve some unrelated political dispute while the world is ending because it is ultimately tied to your end goal in some way.
The fact that Dead Three are fricking around with illithids is stupid in and of itself.
It's like ISIS investing in a space program in order to contact aliens and use their tech to gain new recruits. I am sure there are way less contrived ways to get the same end result.
The epilogue makes a specific point of this with Withers condemning the three idiots and banishing them. It was all part of a very complex Grand Design which you need to have a high IQ to understand.
...don't remind me about Jergal fricking around in our camp because he's bored.
Also, I guess it's Larian's hat to dismiss their own plot holes with the "lol, it's meant to moronic" excuse. They've been doing that since Divine Divinity. Just bdcause you are self-aware about the plot being moronic, it doesn't stop it from being moronic.
Joss Whedon is a bad writer, stop copying him.
wait what? withers is in on it?
Withers is Jergal. You know, the ancient Netherese god of death, that served as the predecessor to both Kelemvor and Myrkul? He's just... chilling.
Wasn't there some asspull plot point in BG3 that gods can no longer personally intervene in mortal affairs?
Them fricking up the natural flow of souls is what made him get up out of his coffin.
He saw wat they were doin and did not like it.
>Them fricking up the natural flow of souls is what made him get up out of his coffin.
It would need much more to interrupt the flow of souls than this stupid cult that the Team Rocket has cooked up. Like, dunno, destroying entire realm of Cormyr or some shit. And it that case, Kelemvor would've intervened IMMEDIATELY. Also, mind flayers do have souls, it's just that Illsensine calls dibs on them. So, this whole plot grants the Dead Three absolutely nothing outside of fueling some eldritch horror that hates all of Faerun for free. But Larian know frick all about FR cosmology and WotC doesn't care.
It's funny how much focus the devils get in act 1 and then Zariel gets dumpstered because Karlach is barely finished and Raphael turns into a moron who's been plotting millennia to give a party a hammer to free a frogman they might not give a single frick about
>how much focus the devils get in act 1
What focus? Zariel is mentioned a few times but mostly as a background character in Karlach's background with Gortash being the real focus, and the rest is just Raphael and Mizora, both of whom stick around until the end with Mizora continuing to be a relevant part of the Black person's companion quest and Raphael doing pretty much exactly what he promised to do from the beginning of the game, trying to tempt you into making a deal with him to solve the tadpole situation. Although I do agree that they fricked up by making it so easy to avoid Raphael's "help", if you do absolutely nothing all game and just follow the path of least resistance you can let the emperor eat Orpheus and reach a perfectly acceptable conclusion that way, which makes Raphael's offer seem way less tempting.
Just like every modern leftist writers garbage
*Sigh*
Yes, chuds, getting fricked in the ass by a gay bear is acceptable, but skimpy outfits on a female video game character is a big no-no.
>skimpy outfits on a female video game character is a big no-no.
Have you played BG3?
There's not a single attractive female in that shitty game.
Yes
Put any skimpy outfit on a female char and it’s way less revealing than the male one.
Why is your Jesus so veiny
I made him take the special tadpole because his jump distance made him stop following me one too many times.
Also the special tadpole dark veins is definitely yet another thing where they thought using something from TW3 would somehow transmogrify it into being good.
I mean I guess that's technically true, female underwear has to cover the breasts as well while the male versions can just cover the bottom. I didn't know that was an insidious israeli conspiracy to destroy the west.
>I didn't know that was an insidious israeli conspiracy to destroy the west.
Lmao newbie
I mean the one on ass lion in that pic on a female is like a full body harness that covers way more of their stomach and back and everything.
jesus christ thats just bdsm porn wear
what the actual frick?
is this gachimuchi?
I don't know the one in the middle but the one on the white haired twink is the default underwear of one of your female party members
I went out of my way to get all the porny underwear and run around naked because (1) it makes it harder and (2) unique dialogues sometimes
unattractive, unappealing, sexually gross characters cannot be sexualized by definition
If you don't think Shadowheart is hot you are gay
She's the only half-decent woman in the game you can frick and spends most of the game with a hairstyle designed to be unattractive. And even then she's just standard attractive; not as hot as the average female you'd get from a JP game. Also she constantly talks about how much she wants to frick people other than you, particularly the bear.
BG3 sex scenes arent meant to be jerked off to. your weeb garbage is pathetic and always will be.
Bomody except mentally ill people jerk off to sex scene that don't cater to normal people
>it's not for the gratification of the player, unlike those pervy jap games where they objectify women by putting them in bikinis to look at
This the game that you can undress and stare at fully nude rendered models of the characters?
>This the game that you can undress and stare at fully nude rendered models of the characters?
Correct. Its like comparing a nudist beach to a strip club.
Except it's only a nudist beach if you want it to be and the same applies to the strip club.
Actually this analogy is fricking stupid.
I wonder if whatever moronic c**t wrote that is autistic, considering it's the most embarrassing, cringy, poorly written "sex scenes" in gaming history.
right now bestiality has less stigma than age gape, thanks to smartphones giving women the control of the information throught endless clickbait and pink consumerism
All I've gotten out of this thread is that it's "mature" because some people with a political lean want it to be due to bias and in reality it's not actually mature and having had experience with Larian through Divinity before I have no doubt that "maturity" plays no part in what they do. The arguments haven't convinced me otherwise. This is some pathetic grasping just to own nerds on the internet. Wasn't bear sex supposed to just be a sex joke? Now you're adopting it's sexuality as legitimately mature just because of who you think it owns to do so.
The thread's OP literally highlights the word "immature" being used by these journalists. You're trying to frame people who aren't falling for this shit as people chasing at shadows, when the narrative being pushed is as clear as day. If being fricked by a squid and a bear is being seen as "stunning and brave", I don't know what to tell you.
I wish I could give Kaine a hug and tell her she’s not the monster she thinks herself to be
PC Gamer has become such shit. They should just let Vox buy them out and become Vox gaming. Same shit tier writing
What kind of degenerate is this author?
The kind that understands normal video game journalism doesn’t make you any money in this economy.
guess we'll end up with Pride LAN parties everyone has balders gate on while sitting on someone's face
i didn't like bg3 that much, it was too simple for me compared to other crpgs which is fine, it's just not for me
also the game really is way too horny too, it makes taking the companions seriously hard
the companions are also super shallow and badly written, compare for example to pillars of eternity, baldurs gate 2 or even pathfinder : wrath
also, a personal problem is that i find people gross in general, and bg3 have them force themselves on me
What other crpgs are complex enough other than the Pathfinder games?
honestly pathfinder is a pretty high bar to reach for complexity, but baldurs gate 3 manages to be really simplified which kills it for me
like i said baldurs gate 2 and 1 are more complex, and pillars of eternity to an extent when it's not bugging out
fallout 1 and 2, underrail
Ah yes, Baldur's Gate 1 where you cast a couple of buffs and then watch martials auto attack enemies for 20 seconds like you're playing an MMO. Or Fallout with its incredibly complex turn based gameplay where every turn you can choose between shooting a gun or maybe not shooting a gun. Literally just mindlessly parroting "old game good" bullshit like a good Ganker drone.
can you lying Black folk just frick off with that auto attack in BG 1+2 bullshit.
i installed BG2 after finishing BG3 and im getting fricking filtered and massacred every 5 minutes.
Game is hard as frick.
That's why I said BG1. BG2 is weird because it starts at a high level since it's a direct continuation of the first game, so if you didn't play the first game you get thrown into the game's equivalent of BG3's end game fights immediately as your intro and then things keep escalating from there.
BG1 is just as hard, though. If not harder, considering you start at lvl 1.
Hard does not equal complex. Having the early game be difficult because your lvl 1 wizard has 6 HP and no spells doesn't make the combat inherently more interesting.
its both hard and complex.
Expertly argued
thanks.
no reason to write more than a sentence about it, its common knowledge is both hard and complex.
i actually had to learn what the spells do and i feel like theres hundreds of spells in BG1+2, in BG3 i just cast smite or eldritch nuke and thats it.
its anti-compled and anti-hard.
or, to put it simply, its dumb and easy.
except those systems that lead to that combat are infinitely more complex and fun to fiddle around with
bg3 is too simple, all the builds feel and play the damn same
Please explain to me how the systems that lead to the combat in Fallout are more complex, interesting or fun than BG3.
alright, depending on my build in fallout 1 i can be a grug that does nothing but grug smash, be moronic and be unable to talk to people
be a smart ass that can hack locks open, shoot laser weapons and use other bs
be a dex gay using a dagger that sneaks around enemies to avoid encounters
be a speech build that avoids 99% of combat by talking out of it
be a sniper that shoots enemies before they get there, learn how to pick locks repair things etc
there are many reasons to replay fallout 1, i see zero reason to replay bg3
Literally everything you said is true about BG3 except for the low int meme dialogue and the fact that you can't skip as many fights as in Fallout, but that was also true about BG2 since this series has always been more combat focused.
yeah, except in bg3 you can do everything whatever your fricking build is, it doesn't matter
What? It's just like in Fallout, it depends on your build. If you want to be a dex gay who sneaks around enemies you need a certain build, if you want to be a grug smash barbarian you need a different build. A key difference is that you can have different characters in your party handle those different roles but that's just good DnD party based adventuring, and also a thing in the old BG games.
Post BG1 savegame or stats.
A lot of it is due to how fricktarded and barely existent the AI is. I think I saw like 2 enemies use Haste the entire game. Kingmaker's AI defaulted to just sperg rushing the first thing it saw but even that felt more meaningful and capable since at least it performed its one moronic decision well instead of stumbling around and doing nothing half the time
yeah i think i realized that when an enemy archer marked me as prey, then walked back and forth wasting its turn then took one shot at shadowheart who wasn't marked
>petting cute cat anime girl
Eww creep.
>having gay sex with alien squid man
Wow how thugh provoking.
Burn this industry of grifters.
I know people dont like the new Wolfenstein games that much but I think the main romance in it was very well done, specially the train scene with how and why it happens in the first place, in such terrible conditions they both search for something good and a way to keep their minds out of all the misery.
Even if then you also have other much more ridiculous sex scenes it still sets a very well earned romance between two characters during wartime
Played BG3 and got burnt out by the shitty combat, dumb writing, the horniness, the edgy tone and the lame rather linear gameplay design.
It's even more jarring playing the original Baldur's Gate where it starts off like an adventure and feels like one throughout the games. You get to explore everywhere, you need to think more in combat, the characters are more likable and not everyone is a jarring britbong.
BG3 is just this generation's baby's first cRPG and for shit taste romancegays.
this
i feel like baldurs gate 3 is okay if their aim is an easy first crpg for people to enjoy the genre
i dont even know anybody who finished it and intends to finish it.
everybody who i know played BG3 just dropped it somewhere in act 1 or act 2.
normies hate it.
BG fans hate it.
its exclusively a coomer game.
kek i dropped it in act 3, after the final fight in act 2 which was amazing visually but 3 bored the shit out of me
really? i didnt finish the game and didnt know that
what happens if you attack withers? i didnt try it
how were they fricking up the flow of souls?
>how were they fricking up the flow of souls?
Something, something, illithids don't have souls (which is a bullshit retcon, by the way), so turning you into an illithid makes you soulless. And the problem is twofold - a) you would need waaaaaaaay larger scale than this one cult to interrupt the flow of souls, and b) turning people into illithids is not beneficial to the Dead Three who need souls to strenghten themselves.
100% romance is so fricking shit.

Larian is everything BUT mature. I like the studio, their older games are fun and good, but the appeal is how immature their games are. Seeing them to BG3 and becoming the thing they were making fun for half a dozen of games has been disheartening. BG3 is fricking putrid and repelling.
There is nothing good in the world that you describe first and foremost as "inclusive"
It has gotten to the point that if they make a big deal out of anything being "inclusive" that it's a red flag for me
Yes.
Unironically yes.
A hentai “game” is not a fricking game you stupid weebs. Meanwhile BG3 has sex SCENES on their game. Its a fine difference in quality and standards.
But why would weebs have standards when it comes to hentai or porn or even fricking games? “Hentai games” fricking kys.
Well technically a hentai game would be a literal fricking game though
So would some “interactive FMV”, they’re still a scam and shit.
Carlos!
>bear sex is mature
I hate journos so much it's unreal.
I started BG3 last month and quickly realized it was still in early access after playing through act 1 so I decided to drop it for now.
Went back to older RPGs (played bg2 and Arcanum since) and man it makes the comparisons very obvious.
You don't REALIZE how fricking HORRIBLE and UNLIKABLE the characters in bg3 truly are until you go back and play a normal rpg where your companions are fun, well written, have a nice consistent and interesting personality. You actually want to adventure with them.
It's simply insane how straight up unpleasant, disgusting, unappealing, repulsive, jarring, annoying, irritating and stupid the companions are in bg3. The game was literally ruined by dogshit writers.
the voice actors only add to the cringe, i just kept canceling their dialogues, i couldnt stand it.
It's also the weird way Larian writes all the dialogue. It doesn't sound natural at all, and then the voice actors are directed to play it out all theatrically and you feel like you are watching some pretentious high school play.
Larian has this George Lucas problem, where the writing may sound alright on paper, but you can't say that shit with a straight face.
>this slop is bad
>but old slop is good
If you unironically simp bg2, the absolute supreme normalgay rpg slop that is entirely responsible for most of the moronic tropes of the genre including steamy romances for incels, you are part of the fricking problem.

Uh-huh.
Is this the /misc/troon outrage bait echochamber thread?
CRPG writers are influenced by fricking tumblr fanfictions and YA books for their romances, I wish they took inspiration from things like Ladyhawke or Lady of the Camellias instead (they only take the "love interest is a bawd" part from the latter)
What CRPG’s have you played, anon? BG3? Because romances weren’t much of a thing until Bioware made it huge.
This is correct observation. Modern video game writers don't read. You can't write good shit if you don't understand how good shit looks. I won't even ask for reading all the literary classics, but appropriate amount of something that isn't Harry Potter/other YA/tumblr fanfiction should be given.

No one is surprised here.

Yup. And she has no content anyway.

I seriously hate how society is going right now...

the same people that call you a pedophile for liking cute girls in anime games are the same people that praised life is strange 2 for it's underage sex scene.
playing BG 3 and RDR 2 just made me want to replay witcher 3(a.k.a last good western aaa game) and I'm not even being sarcastic
Same, also a ton of stuff is “”inspired by”” witcher 1/2/3 in obvious ways.
The black veins from potions -> black veins from astral tadpole and the flying visuals
BG is an obvious “what if novigrad but bigger” despite it making no sense in the narrative context
The resting system is basically the same
They tried to mimic the whole reactivity thing but outsourced too much so it’s bugged to frick.
There are things called "tables" in TW3 and they're also in BG3. Both games happen to feature a 3 in their title. Coincidence? I think not
I mean yeah I’ve only played 3 games in the past nine years they just seemed to be drawing from it a lot, but maybe it’s normal game stuff.
also rdr 2 copied tw 3 in the most boring way
Why would anyone want sex scenes in a non-sex game?
Isnt it odd how obsessed sexhavers are with sex given that they claim that it isnt important? Romance slop does not belong in rpgs.
>can frick a bear

Because only elfoids and humans allowed
How did we get to the point where the media are trying to normalize sex with non-humans? How are the mentally ill freaks winning?
Where do you think these modern writers got their start?
It wasn’t writing classical literature that’s for sure
Autists can be very persistent
>wasting time on such bullshit while being unable to properly implement Dispel Magic, Fly, aoo or readying actions
Priorities speak for themselves
if this was a Japanese game all of Ganker would be shouting "based dev!" kek
If you were straight and white you wouldn't have posted that ;/
Mind flayers are for genocide and I hate that this homosexual squid lived in my head rent free for 90% of the game.
TOTAL GHAIK DEATH
Basically "Sexual degeneracy is good so long as it's not with a hot chick with big breasts"
>sexy stuff with ugly people good
>sexy stuff with attractive people bad
these people fricking tire me to no end
When leftists make games some really weird stuff happens
this one was funny because they added a token white guy, became by far the most popular character, and the developer fricking seethed over it.
Watch them say they’re the only creative ones
Sheesh, reminds me of Wargroove 2. The moment I saw the featured new commander I just went "nope"
>Jap women would rather frick animals than the average male jap
Will they ever learn that the reproduce psyops are not gonna work since it is not men who dont want to frick but women?
Squid represents manipulative predators (groomers).
>Romancing a squid over 3 chapters ending up with the narrator ASMRing you lots of lewd thoughts while the squid squirms because you touched his tentacle
>Better than DUDE GIANT DICKS AND breasts LMAO HERE'S AN AIRPLANE FUEL NOZZLE GOING UP THAT GIRL'S c**t VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
They have a point. Most hentais are bullshit nonsense cum splatterhouses. Those random plant tentacles or flesh pits spawning infininte wienerroaches need a fricking explanation people.
All based on the predication that people don't have better shit to do than be horny.
an asexual squid
Go on, tourist, talks some more
Is he the only one in the game who disapproves of all the rampant sex?
Withers sorts of calls you out for being a degenerate from time to time
He also calls you out for being a virgin as well. There's no winning with him.
He called me on this while camping in the middle of the shadow lands. He's an undead priest, shouldn't he be happy that I'm focusing on getting shit done and not fricking around?
It's disingenious to compare a 400 dev production like BG3 to random RPGM h-games
What if I think this game I degenerate and I don't play Japanese games for the same reason?
Why are all you gaygos going on about muh weeb hentai games?
Both porn games can coexist. I don't want one or the other, I want both.
