Serious question

I want to try this game but is it woke? By woke I don't mean "gay=woke", I don't care about gay/lesbian/black representation or characters hitting on me, I just want to know if the game's writing has an obvious biased political narrative when it comes to character's attitude or dialogue towards certain topics, or is it more natural and organic when it comes to diversity?

    It's sexually woke, in that every character is a raging bisexual that can't control their horny level. As for politically woke not so much; in the first act you can straight up lead a goblin raid on a bunch of literally demonic refugees and hippies.

    During the panel they did before the game launched some b***h in the audience said something like "Games are political even if you don't want them to be" and asked some dumb ass question to the devs and they just shot her down and said "We just want people to have fun' and moved on. So far , 80 hours in, I have not encountered any real life politics in it.

What developers do on their social media is their problem. It has no effect on the quality of the game. The only thing you can blame Baldur's gate 3 in being "woke" is its openness when it comes to options in romances and character creator, which can even be a good thing if your life doesn't revolve around politics

    It's not a woke game.

    You have choices for whatever you do. Which is anti-woke. Also, the black Warlock is not a token minority with ghetto slang and "MUH WHITE PEOPLE HOLD ME DOWN!!!". It's just a normal amazing dude.

    It's as anti-woke as possible and leftists simply try to make you think that they "won", but in reality Baldur's Gate 3 is the most anti-woke game you can find. You not only can decline any gay sex, you can also kill anyone you want for any reason and you even can build a wall in the grove and make Tieflings pay for it.

    No, it's not "woke". It's overtly sexual, to the point of being annoying, but they've really embraced player freedom in being able to do what you want, even some pretty evil things. I don't really understand where this "left vs right wing" argument regarding BG3 came from. There was nothing like it before release and nothing changed in terms of writing for the full release. It's a good game with pandering thrown in, because that's the hip thing to do these days, but it's not a political game with a message in mind.

        Sure. The male companions are really annoying in terms of coming onto you. Especially with Gale, since you don't really expect "Let me show you magic" to mean he wants to frick you. Thankfully once you say to them that you aren't interested, they don't come onto you again.

        People just prefer to know where fictional works are aligned, so they can avoid consuming overt or subtle propaganda.

        Well, there's a difference between asking whether a game is political, and calling a game "x trash". A lot of people seem to have made their minds about BG3, despite it really not being a political game. It has no message, except play DnD.

      People spammed the catalog about the bear at the beginning, because it was free (You)s.
      Then some vocal people declared that /misc/ hated the game for some reason, despite any off-topic thread made about the game there receiving a "who cares?" reaction.
      I'm almost convinced the whole "it's woke" narrative was baked by the "woke" crowd specifically so they can say they "won" when the game that was obviously going to sell well ended up selling well.

      This is a fourth wall breaking reference that only true Larianbros understand. Larian Studios are staunch cat people - cats are always important characters in their games, such as Arlu. Dogs, meanwhile, always show up as literal morons who mope over their dead owner's corpse, never realizing they're dead (this happens in literally every Larian game). Basically, while this dialog is a little clunky and weird, it is specifically put in game for the true fans. So now you understand.

    No, it isn't. It's very obvious with its agenda sometimes.
    Act 2 being about reuniting two man hating dykes and having a trans orc constantly hit on you even when you reject her is pretty gross.

      Neither of them are man-haters. Well I guess they hate one specific man but he was kind of asking for it also I don't give a frick, when Dame Aylin was going off on a completely unhinged rant about murdering his ass then said in front of a crowd of people she's going to drag Isobel off to shag her brains out, that shit had me diamonds. Lesbians are hot.

    I'm a rightwing chud, I'll tell you straight. It's not really 'woke' in a political way (at least so far), but it's majorly woke in a coomer way. I think every named NPC in the game wants to frick you, and they ain't shy about it.

    It's pretty fun so far, don't get your cheeks took and you should be ok.

    The game starts getting woke once you reach the act 3 baldurs gate city. So just like real life. You'll find drag queens, people b***hing about refugees, and going on about revolutions.

    Act 1 is generic fantasy.
    Act 2 is Dark Souls.

    There are woke elements to the writing. Inexplicably shoehorned gay couples (and it's not just that they're gay, the fact that this random gnome dude won't shut the frick about being another gnome's husband is just weird - it's only there because they wanted some more gay content).

    "Playsexual" is the most moronic shit I've ever encountered from a narrative perspective. It not only reduces my suspension of disbelief to turn EVERYONE on (seriously - 10% of the population are gay, so why are 100% of my bros trying to get this dick?), it also reduces my ability to enjoy having male party members around. The leftoids here like to troll the rightoids by saying "haha bro, you took the gay options!", but it's so much worse. Think having your archmage bro teach you a bit of magic around the campfire would be cool on your adventure? Unlucky, he's actually trying to show you a different type of magic wand, i.e. his dick. Turn him down because that's fricking gay? No worries dude, he'll come onto you again a few hours later. Imagine if Gandalf was just like "hey Frodo, let me destroy your ring!" halfway through the first movie out of fricking nowhere.

    It makes me dislike the otherwise likable cast. I was in the military for half my life - I have a high tolerance for borderline-gay bromance - but if I tell someone to frick off once and they try that shit again an hour later, that's the bromance over.

    Gayle is especially egregious, Astarion is somehow less gay and Wyll is fine (besides being a Black person), but there's so much of this shit shoehorned in that it does overtly reduce the quality of the narrative. You never know when a character is going to be like "hey, wanna eat my ass" at an inappropriate time. Seriously, I just got done fighting shadows in some cursed wasteland, and Gaylord Gale has an exclamation mark above his head to (and I swear I'm not making this up) comment on how horny being in the shadowland makes him. Nice dude, I didn't ask?

      Yeah I really wanted to like Gale but he was just so aggressive that I eventually stopped talking to him or bringing him with my party entirely. And at some point the game glitched out and acted like we'd slept together (when I clicked him my character used the "i love this person" dialogue reserved for your partner), and got all disappointed when he found me "cheating" with Shadowheart (the only character I showed any interest in the entire game).

        That doesn't change the fact that "playersexual" is objectively worse for the narrative.

        Cut the pretentious shit for a second - what is the largest market demographic for western RPGs? Straight men, it's a landslide. Devs need to stop being moronic and make the hottest woman (preferably the two hottest women) in the cast straight (or bi, guys generally don't give a frick) and be done with it, or get called out for not catering to their audience.

        Making Judy gay was like serving a fricking vindaloo at a kindergarten and being baffled when the parents complain - no shit, morons, do your market research or welcome the backlash.

      I wouldn't say half. You lose out on a few companions but pretending to work with the Absolute cult by doing their dirty work seems to have quite a lot of depth, especially in acts 2 and 3. The interactions and dialogues you have with the baddies, especially the main 3, are almost completely different, especially if you play as the dark urge. I do wish there were more truly evil companions though

    The fact that you're separating gay and woke goes to show how far you've already been brainwashed. You already let them cross one line but are worried about other political lines? What other lines? You're making no sense. There is no "a little woke" or "very woke". It's either full woke or not-woke. There is one single fricking clear line between normal straight whites and all the degeneracy and diversity on the other side. You're on the wrong side of the line so you have no right to complain.

    It’s as woke as you want to it to be, and can be equally based since you can choose the opposite of every woke decision. You can slaughter every non-human you see, or stroke you own ladydick while kissing the shoes of every Black person you see while bending over for invading immigrants.
