This, it's similar to the tone the D&D movie went for. The party characters are meant emulate the experience of playing the tabletop and speaking like normal people, not everyone has to speak in ye ol English. The npcs sound like they fit the world, but the characters sounding like modern day is totally fair game for D&D.
you morons this is exactly how people around the tabletop talk, it's not meant to be "immersive"
I get kicked out of every DnD game for talking like this.
>I'M A moron THAT DOESN'T LIKE RP OR IMMERSION AND JUST WANT TO MURDERHOBO AND FRICK AROUND ALL TABLETOP RELATED MEDIA SHOULD PANDER TO THIS
go frick yourself
And if I wanted a tabletop game perhaps I would seek out the kinds of subhuman cretins able to spew lines like that without feeling the compulsion to gouge their own eyes out.
That's actually exactly the reason I bought it during early access, and it is by far the best adaption of D&D in video game form. I play with my friends and we have a great time. I couldn't give a frick about the opinion of someone who isn't into rpgs of the like.

Because we love this game too. D&D fans like D&D game, is that really a logical leap? The difference is pretty simple: you can play without a DM.
Can you play as a full 4 man party in the co-op or is it just two people? How doesthe dialog stuff work? Does the host decide what to say/do during conversations? How about rolls? Sorry for flooding you with questions
Up to 4 co-op, whoever starts or triggers a convo is making the decisions. You can optionally click to watch each others convos, and can vote on dialogue options as well as buff them mid-convo. Works pretty fluidly.

yeah cool yeah cool
Yep, it's probably from critical role archives just like warcraft comes from tabletop adventures
And we all know how dumb and cringe is D&D + Crit role
Critical Role really did a number on the DnD community and the types of people that engage with DnD and how the engage with it.
Every campaign turns into comedy hour. >haha i roll to see if i can have sex with that >haha i roll to take my dick out >haha i roll to put my sword in it's butt!
Am I the only one who finds this "virtual D&D campaign with rolls and narration" thing this series has going on super fricking lame and a waste of time? The same as playing card games on a computer. I don't want to play a tabletop game on my computer, if I wanted to play D&D I'd do that, I play vidya for vidya. Anyone else feel this way?
The spirit of D&D and Forgotten Realms makes a good CRPG. It doesn't make a good straight port though because it completely underutilizes what computers are good at (advanced rules and calculations).
If you really want to continue to go down this food analogy route, it's more like this. >know nothing about baking a cake >eat a cake >complain about a very specific part of the cake (like the buttercream) >don't know what ingredients go into a buttercream or even how to make it themselves >tells the baker something completely unrelated like "why did you put fish in the buttercream?!" >there is no fish in the buttercream and there is never fish in buttercream >"this cake is shit!!"
Educate yourself before trying to critique something and you'll find you're better able to articulate your opinion other than just "this game is bad because it isn't made in Japan!"

As a 40 year veteran of Readings Things I can tell you that the shit I'm reading in your game is Cringe and you need to do better. Maybe you could start by reading a book.
Again, you're a fricking moron. I don't need to explain to you why the buttercream tastes bad, maybe the butter or cream is rancid, maybe you don't know how to fricking mix it correctly, maybe the reason why the cake sucks is because its flavor conflicts with the buttercream, I don't need to tell you why it tastes bad, only that it tastes bad.
I don't need to have to explain that the dialog in BG3 is post-modernist lowest common denominator trash you can expect to see any "modern" fantasy game or TV show. It's what I would expect from a Fantasy Writing 101 class.
>scam artist troll baker serves you literal shit on a plate >w-well, it looks like shit and smells like shit, but I'm no baker, so it must be great!
Literal cuck mentality.
You're likely equally as 'unqualified' to criticize anyone else's opinion, given that you most likely don't have the credentials that you claim are so important. so now what? if you want to operate in this fashion, then only a select few will be able to hold a meaningful opinion, and that most likely would not include you.
I know this is a logical fallacy but I'll bite with something I wrote that would be better:
What the frick did you just fricking say about me, you little b***h? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Wizarding, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on goblin camps, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top caster in the entire Faerûn wizarding world. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the frick out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fricking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fricker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Faerûn and your bear fricking ass is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fricking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bear hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the mindflayer forces and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fricking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fricking dead, kiddo.
I don't talk to anyone in real life if I find they don't at least have a college level of education. Credentials matter because it shows you're capable of at least a rudimentary level of logical thought.
The absolute BARE MINIMUM to post about a video game here should be playing the video game but people have proven they refuse to do that. So for the alternative, I'm asking for additional credentials.

They don't because in japanese games characters spend 50 hours blushing like they are 12 when they see each other and then another 50 hours gathering the courage to hold hands. (in the end they never do)
JRPGs are typically male power fantasies so they're almost always fun. WRPGs are typically leftoid cuck fantasies that revolve around being a leftoid, the whole WRPG/Tabletop genre was coopted by twittertards a long time ago.
The fantasy setting that has space piracy where people flying in spaceships that look like seashells, alien babes riding red dragons in outerspace, female goddess being the most powerful being in the universe, Sigil freaks speaking in English chav dialect, and robotmen made to mimic partying adventurers? That kind of silly dogshit you want to maintain le cringe Medieval speak?
Why do chuds even care about D&D? Isn't this shit LITERAL SATANISM for you skullfricks? Follow what your homosexual Republitards/soccer moms did in the 90s or else you aren't following true conservatism, because it sounds like to me your shitstains only change tone when you start to enjoy something libertarians/libshits make after the fact and pretend you weren't against it. I remember when violence and gore was such a contested debate in vidya and once shit like Doom and Halo released, homosexual Repubs shut their mouths when they started liking it.

This happens because of double standards, censorship, xenophobia, lots of men being simps, and man-hating feminists pretending to give a shit about the age of fictional characters that appeal to males because they hate the idea of men having fun without being under their thumb.
Americans/Westerners just have different way of conveying dialogue. Allot of it very meta or self referential. In contrast Japanese dialogue is usually more reserved and formal so any direct or even rough translation is gonna produce something more straight forward. I don’t always like it either but it’s distinctly western.

Yeah that flippant attitude is exactly why post-modernist writing is trash. "It's just X so why do you take any of the writing seriously, are you some NEEERD?" Guess what homosexual, if you have a story that takes place on the sun it's unrealistic that you would have a character made of snow.
>it's unrealistic that you would have a character made of snow.
Why? It could be space snow that's colder than the sun. The character could be shrouded with powerful magics. It could be literally (INSERT FANTASTICAL REASONING)

Postmodernist writing, emerging in the mid-to-late 20th century, challenges traditional literary norms by employing techniques like intertextuality, metafiction, and pastiche. Its fragmented narratives and ironic tone often question the very nature of storytelling and historical context, sometimes leading to a sense of nihilism. This playfulness and disregard for convention can be summed up in the flippant attitude expressed by the quote, "it's just about space wizards, don't take it seriously." The approach underscores the relativism and resistance to closure that typify postmodernism, reflecting a complex and controversial literary perspective stemmed from Millennials hating everything.

You attempted to use an obtuse definition of realism and then attacked that as an argument because you can augment any discussion concerning fantasy by simply saying "what if we had magic like this in our world, how would it behave and how would people act". But it's far simpler to treat the fantasy world as its own living, breathing thing and fit the idea of realism within its own context. But I get it, you have autism so you typically fight opponents based on technicalities even though it makes you a moron and you'd never want that tactic used on you.

Strawman Argument: A strawman argument involves misrepresenting someone's position in order to make it easier to attack. In this case, the claim that anything within a fantasy world is inherently realistic simply because it exists within that world might oversimplify or misrepresent the nuanced views about realism within a fictional context. If someone argues for realism within a fictional world, they might not necessarily mean that anything goes, but rather that there are consistent rules or logic that make the world coherent and believable. By framing the argument in this extreme way, it's attacking a position that might not accurately represent the views of the other party.
Bad Faith Interpretation: A bad faith argument is one where the arguer is not sincerely engaging with the position of the other side but is instead attempting to win the argument by any means, including distortion or dishonesty. In this case, the statement seems to reject any possibility of a nuanced understanding of realism within a fictional context. It reduces a complex issue to a binary, either-or proposition, ignoring the subtleties of how realism might be understood differently depending on the context.
Ignoring Internal Consistency: The assertion that anything can be considered realistic within a fictional context, regardless of internal consistency, seems to dismiss a fundamental aspect of storytelling and world-building. Many writers and readers value internal consistency because it helps create immersion and makes the fictional world more engaging and believable. By ignoring this aspect, the statement overlooks a significant part of what might be meant by "realism" within a fictional setting.

You are the one going on about snowmen on the sun and the behaviour of non-human beings in societies that aren't ours. None of that is unrealistic (in the standard sense) "within the fictional context", because in the fictional context whatever is written is real, and therefore realistic. Nor is it internally inconsistent, so what does your lack of "nuanced" realism amount to? At best these things seem unrealistic in that they do not happen in the real world, which you agree is no problem.

You're missing the nuanced understanding of what realism means within a fictional context. Let's take the example of a snowman on the moon. Even in a fantastical world, this can be made realistic if we establish that a wizard with powerful magic sent it there. The magic itself would have rules and logic within the world of the story, making the scenario internally consistent and, therefore, realistic. The same principle applies to non-human societies; they can have their unique social and cultural norms, and as long as these norms follow an internal logic, they contribute to a realistic portrayal. My entire point revolves around the idea that internal consistency equates to realism within a fictional setting. We can indeed use our experience in the real world to extrapolate what may be realistic in a fantasy setting. It's not about whether these elements mirror our reality but about how they fit within the coherent framework of the fictional world. That's where the true essence of realism lies in storytelling.

Internal consistency isn't the "true essence of realism in storytelling", "realism" is just a word and that's not how it's defined.
That aside, we can agree that internal consistency is good, detailed worldbuilding and explanation is good and so on whether we call that realism or not. The question is how BG3 for example fails to meet these standards, because it doesn't seem internally inconsistent for the most part

I find it funny that you are describing Karlach to a T so in my mind (as someone that has actually played this video game) the dialogue fits her character perfectly.
Never played the game but yeah, that what happens when you have one dimensional characters, they are predictable and boring. Nothing about this line of dialogue intrigues me because i already saw everything it has to offer.

I dont believe bad writing is excused because other bad writing exists, no.
Good dialogue usually needs to accomplish something. It draws you into the scene, makes you laugh, details character, etc. but if it doesnt do at least one of these things its bad.
Like i said, its not written deftly, its not funny, and its not sexy. It fails no matter what you say it set out to do. The only thing it does is tell you the character of the speaker, but this isnt a win because you know since it didnt accomplish anything else besides that, the character is one note. A parody of nothing and nobody is laughing.
Its just bad, man. Its bad regardless of its comparison to anything else.

I'm not excusing it, I'm asking for examples of good writing based off this because I'm of the opinion that it literally doesn't exist as it pertains to characters written in video games.
>It's bad.... ON PURPOSE
Western writing became shit when people started to spend more time working out how to analyse their writing, excuse their writing and relate their writing to the struggles of <minority> in <American political meme situation> than they ever spent just writing better dialogue. We've created an industry where Bullshit and the ability to produce Bullshit is valuable, and when you become good enough at creating Bullshit you get to bullshit yourself into believing that your Bullshit isn't bullshit.
Postmodernism was a mistake. Advertising was a mistake. Changing the business model of news and entertainment so that it is "free" and ultimately merges with advertising was a mistake.
It's very straightforward with absolutely no substance or tact. >There is this bad cult run by clearly bad people >Only reason you can get anywhere is because you have a thing in your head that they have >not one person questions this or calls out how the artifact you have can be used to give you free will >You can help cult, or don't
The game never deviates from this, it's going from one area to the next foiling this cult nobody gives a shit about, it's a cliche of a cliche strung along by bad writing because everyone willfully helps you.
It just feels forced and dumb at trying to make you feel important (you aren't).
the dialogue is moronic. Nobody needs to do anything more than post screenshots of it or respond to requests like yours because its poor quality is immediately obvious to anyone not baiting
That is based. To be fair, the context is wildly, wildy different. The tiefling thot probably wouldnt respond to "what do you believe in?" With "i want to frick ur brains out lol xD"
Thanks for letting us know you never read a single Conan story. Did you know they are freely available to read? Here, since you types keep talking about "educating yourself" why not read some of the best fiction ever written?
Because it's made by sheltered, socially moronic losers who have replaced real experiences with fiction, and are driven by their insecurity, resentment and bizarre fetishes.
Of course, it's the same for jap shit. The difference is that at least western cRPGs were occasionally good 20 years ago, while jap stuff was never good, and was always just anime shit.
It's clear that none of you actually play D&D and if you do you're some homosexual that roleplays in some fancy accent or dialect. b***hing about trivial lines like these shows what little flaws there are.
I just don't get why so many characters are openly horny. I mean, I'm horny too but I don't go around announcing it to every chick I'm into and know for about the span of one or two days. A Persona game of all things has more buildup for their romances and it's pretty much just ten events, and you start dating them in about eight or nine.
every character is also bisexual and bi-species-ial and no matter what monstrosity you have created they always want to frick you. Imagine how you could make an anime harem dating sim even more ridiculous and unrealistic? Just make all the men gay for the protagonist too, as well as the family dog/bear, that'd do it.
Nip romance is cringe and it usually ends up with countless episodes/in world seasons and years just to have one character confess their like for someone else, and it's no wonder why Japan is such a sexless country.
That's why you can't get pussy and why you're sitting here as a lonely virgin. Yes, in real life you have to show interest instead of beating around the bush which entails being smooth in how you approach your interest in sex. Dining and wining doesn't work, and it makes make you corny if you can't smooth talk yourself into her panties lel. Ever wonder why Black folk are constantly smashing pussy? It's because they approach women and make their advances/intents known in their chimp-like way "AYO MAAA! WHERE YOU GET ALL DAT ASS FROM!"
People who have sex, have sex. With real people. They dont need some eggless tumblr harridan to spit out passionless big bang theory one liners at them to jerk off to, whats wrong with you?
They have sex, and they portray how courting and sex is played out in real life. I'm not the one who created the game, but I can guarantee the developers behind the game fricked more than you will ever in the pitiful existence.

even if people talked like that outside of text message (they don't) I want a proper fantasy story and not some teenaged zoomers talking to each other
Anime romances can take way too long and get moronic about it sometimes, but at least there's some buildup. The characters in this game don't have much buildup, but they also don't act like they want as much sex and one night stands as possible. It doesn't work in either way.
this is like the 6th time I've seen someone here defend cringey nerd fanfic writing by randomly talking about black men having sex
the psyche of the reddit bugman/tumblr woman literally revolves around black people, and they will always draw comparisons based on this, even when the subject is some gay fantasy game written by and for white nerds
>It's clear that none of you actually play D&D and if you do you're some homosexual that roleplays in some fancy accent or dialect. b***hing about trivial lines like these shows what little flaws there are.
this. If you don't roleplay in some fancy accent or dialect and get into crafting and RPing as an interesting character, you're not roleplaying, you're just a homosexual who's taking up a seat at the table of people who want to roleplay.
I don't understand what is wrong with this. She was forced to fight a war in hell for 10 years and finally escaped but her heart got replaced with a demonic engine that makes her have an infernal aura constantly consume her and gets worse when she gets excited so she cant have sex or touch anyone because of it. She literally says she is pent up, also she is a barbarian and if you homosexuals played the games you shitpost about or know anything about barbarians you would know they like to frick and are kinda dumb, like Karlach.
whats wrong with her is she's boring and her dialogue sucks. Doesnt matter if she's got a backstory if none of it translates through her flat, generic porn parody turd dialogue
thats even worse. what couldve been a tender moment between two characters sharing their vulnerabilities is instead a shitty softcore dnd style porno skit. Shoddy form,
Is she a complex character with an inner conflict regarding her desire for intimacy and her cursed heart? Or is she just a meme character? Whats going on here?

Her backstory is cool but overall she is one of the weakest origin characters because nothing really happens except you fixing her demonic engine and I guess fulfilling he dream of becoming a do gooder adventurer. I don't think she is a bad character though just not good compared to the other origins.

I hate japanese writing so much, it's always cringe and seems like it's written by some manchild pervert who never had sex.
Thanks god Japan is dying in the vydia industry.
>game comes out >Ganker just spams threads about all the romance options and nothing else
The more I see of it, this board seems like a board for homosexuals.
Its pretty heartening that even the sexless are looking for cute,wholesome teenage love rather than disgusting and boring dialogue written by ugly roasties with no eggs
I don't know how you can get your fix from dating sims. The fact that everything follows a flowchart is simply too obvious and too artificial for me to feel anything. Maybe that will change with AI though
So, I never cared for BG3 but played a lot of OS2, if I can extrapolate correctly, romance in BG3 works somehow like this
>character is cold to you >progress in game makes character to tell you about personal stuff >eventually you reach a point where you get an option that makes the flirt levels go from 0 to 11 and on the next panel you're already fricking.
I love how the Larian defense force always posts screenshots of the original games somehow trying to prove that the Larian writing isn't garbage, but it always proves the exact opposite. There is literally nothing wrong with the BG1 dialog you posted.
That's the point you fricking moron. When you morons can't even come to an agreement on whether the old dialog was good or not, why take anything you say seriously about the current game?

What do you mean "changing the narrative"? Nobody's narrative has ever been that BG1 and 2 had bad dialog, that would be factually wrong and stupid. Of course you can always sift through thousands of text to nitpick some random joke that nowadays might sound a bit reddit-tier, but overall the writing in BG1 and 2 is excellent. Larian games however do have bad writing and bad dialog.

Nah, the writing and the reactivity in story is LEAGUES better than what BG 1+2 would ever achieve, and you trying to gaslight with your homosexual tranime romance wants is weak and laughably shows how little you play games.
why do people even call it a "romance" in BG3? Romance implies that there are romantic feelings and some kind of a build up. What happens in BG3 is more like a fling or a hook up.

It's flings and hookups that eventually lead to more serious and profound relationships that play out throughout the game that leads to companions wanting to kill other companions for you or making rash and harsh decisions.
The fact you permavirgins put sex on such a high pedestal while complaining about getting none is the reason why you are not getting any. Nobody treats sex this way except for religitards and homosexuals with massive inability/insecurity issues.

Not all Clerics have oaths of celibacy, and there are gods ranging from those who have domains in Thievery (Gods of Thieves), Death (Mrykul), to Murder (Bhaal) whose Clerics are simply arbiters of their rites/rituals to spread their influence or keep the balance going. This goes true ESPECIALLY for Shar, a literal evil goddess that values the act of personal gain whether it's kidnapping, murder, or thievery, and her worshipers worship her only out of fear and her Dark Reward/lichdom.
This isn't a new thing. This harkens back to the days of Sword&Sorcery and Conan with goddesses like Ishtar where her temples are literal fricking orgies from everything in the likes of ACTUAL bestiality, women fricking statues with penises, to engorging in gluttony/avarice.

Ishtar is also a real world pagan fertility goddess from the egyptian pantheon iirc. In fact, the catholic church co opted some of her symbols along with other pagan fertility practices and rolled it all up into Easter (Eastet, Ishtar - clear etymological connection) One of those practices involved young, sexually mature people getting together at the
start of spring, the women would paint themselves in bright colors and hide in the woods while the men would search for them and immediately plap plap plap get pregnant upon finding them. A primitive version of the modern "easter egg hunt", in case you wondering what colored eggs had to do with Jesus. Rob Howard was very well read
Don't let women write the game is a good start. Other thing is previous Larian games were not serious, they had a comedy slant apparently, which shows here in their lack of experience.
Because they are no shill threads and are people displaying genuine hype. Why doesn't asiaticmoot do something about /misc/homosexuals who don't want to discuss games but b***h and moan about their diarrhea redpill/permavirgin dogshit and ramblings.
>Why doesn't asiaticmoot do something about /misc/homosexuals who don't want to discuss games but b***h and moan about their diarrhea redpill/permavirgin dogshit and ramblings.
because it brings money you moron
you got any other stupid questions to ask? Hiroshimoot removed the report rule that pertained posting pol outside of pol, moot welcomes it now
False, it's the reason why you homosexuals get banned from this board on a regular basis and you now how to circumvent your political diarrhea by pretending you're talking about a game so you can complain about being a virgin, women have sex, and that the West is falling because bear sex, and le Christtard.
Black person, there never was a report for /misc/homosexuals, stop with this gaslighting diarrhea. What the rest of this site does is report you shiteating homosexuals for being off-topic and starting a flamewar.
Japan is no better. It's just a different kind of extreme. West or East, there is no win. You either have romance so vapid and pure its downright esoteric or oversexed degeneracy with comically exaggerated passion and all the substance and tenderness of a tinder hookup.
Because it's a videogame, not real life. Sitting in front of a monitor/TV and pressing a designated number on a discussion wheel to see a 15 second cinematic is a whole different thing than going on a date, holding someone's hand, kiss or just looking in the eyes of someone with whom you are slowly feeling something else besides a crush. Those who never got to feel that cannot know the difference.
yeah but books, movies and tv shows can do romance just fine. It's obviously not going to replace the real life experience, but it doesn't have to be as shitty and juvenile as it is in BG3.
Checked and because the nature of the videogame medium will always compel the player to self insert on some level and that creates an inherently pathetic and inorganic environment for romance. Games with a set mc are a little better, but even in things like the witcher, the dialogue options make the romance sort of cringe when the game occassionally gives you a chance to say something incredibly horny out of nowhere. The best love stories can only happen between npcs. Just like real life
This isn't Marvel writing it's just how normal people who aren't Ganker incels talk. Unironically better than weeb shit. Do I even need to mention in Zelda they show the fricking goat lady explain the dragon transformation rules 3 times in a flashback within another fricking flashback. Yeah I'll take this over tropey anime shit that's literally always the same cookie cutter dialogue.
no, normal people do not say "Ugh, GODS, I want to ride you 'til you see stars" that is fanfic schlock written by a fat chick
everyone naturally used to make of this when it was Jennifer Hepler writing Dragon Age 2, now you just have low standards
>THIS IS HOW NORMAL PEOPLE TALK
What the frick kind of next level cope is this. I have NEVER heard anyone talk like this and I've had sex so fricking pull the incel card on me.
This is the kind of shit people used to make of fanfiction dialog for having
>B-B-B-B-B-BUT AT LEAST IT HAS DA CUTE ANIMU GIRL IN IT!
And this is why we shouldn't even acknowledge what these cretinous shitstains have to say in regard to what "your story"/games/romance should involve. It's clear that the only thing they are basing their shit opinions on or even care about is being blinded by tranime and what their REAL tantrums comprise.
Is this the Japanese equivalent of Forsworn? I feel like there's a cultural gap going on here...Was this popular in Japan or did the Westerners eat up this shit?
>worst written of the last decade
Sure, if you discount every single other JRPG published within the last decade. Kingdom Hearts 3 was a mile long log of absolute dogshit for comparison and pales in comparison to Stranger of Paradise.
>Why is post-LOTR Western fantasy dialogue so moronic? And how do we make it great again?
Return to a time when writers deeply held traditional Catholic values.
move on to your next cringe teenage phase please, the tradcath thing has gotten old
also you're completely wrong, what needs to happen is fantasy needs to be written by scholars influenced by myth and history and language instead of onions bearded nerds influenced by dungeons and dragons
>the tradcath thing has gotten old
Not him but I was born Catholic, those "tradcaths" or whatever have already moved on to Orthodoxy/Islam/whateverthefrick, and that other guy is still correct
>European company known for its cringe writing and cringe dialog >makes another game focused on romance. >everyone is surprised the romances are pure cringe.
Kek.
Yeah jrpgs have AMAZING dialogue you fricking politics obsessed homosexual.
Nothing has made me lose any consideration I had for Ganker opinion faster then seeing you seething morons that probably don't even play video games, let alone ttrpgs, screech like a bunch soccer moms about this game being something it isn't. Goty, stay mad you 2016 tourists. You were never welcome here and you still aren't. /misc/ isn't all of Ganker and we don't get a frick about your gay little social values.
In the forgotten realm the existance of multiple Gods is factual, people instead choose to worship deities that more closely align with their values.
wrong, dieties that are ethereal aren't the god of creation. calling Hermes your god is like calling a janitor the Founder.
>god of creation
Abrahamic religions are the only ones to specifically have their singular God also be responsible for creating the universe instead of just having a cabal of Gods each responsible for various different concepts.
I’m enjoying these segments, because they’re funny and I like seeing all the different interactions.

>Why is post-LOTR Western fantasy dialogue so moronic? And how do we make it great again?
Too much insecurity at Western Fantasy's inherintly Christian legacy, so by trying to scrub it they end up with something souless.
LOTR had nothing Christian and was all based on paganistic traditions stemming from Norse Mythology. Christtard has no interesting aspect to it besides crying about sin, even the superstition within it comes from people in that region appropriating their old faiths and incorporating them into the new.
>paganistic traditions stemming from Norse Mythology.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Besides folk pratices in the Baltics that lasted into the 1800s, most recorded pagan stories that then inspired fantasy are still inheriently Christian.
Said stories were recorded from pagan oral tradition into writing by Christian monks, retold with Christian morals in mind, and generally have an inescapable Catholic flavor to them.
This is a problem, because if you reject this, you end up retelling a very artifical modern form of Paganism, such as trying to sell old paganism as Wicca, that does not "feel" realistic at all and takes the audiance out of the story, even if they themselves don't understand why.
Asia is generally better at handling this. Many of their writes will make anti-buddhist stories, but still be baked with buddhist concepts and imageries.
In 2021, Texas banned abortions beyond six weeks of pregnancy. When the Supreme Court overturned federal abortion rights the following summer, a trigger law in the state banned all abortions other than those intended to protect the life of the mother

The fricking women who wrote the companion encounters should be stoned to death. You either get railroaded into being a butt pirate by being polite or be a complete ass with no in between.
You only play jap slop because you're a weeb. No need to justify your addiction to tranime with cherrypicked scenes. There is no more cringe-worthy dialogue that what you find in weeb games.
>Ganker (a group who categorically has zero real life friends) has zero idea how a DnD session functions or how people lightly roleplay (usually with a slight comedic element)
lol
This still kinda works for some crude barbarian chick
This, however, is pure memery, but it's Larian, what do you expect
Not if you're selling me a broken former slave fighter
Why though?
Self insert dialogue.

IN MY RPG!? God why are Ganker tards so fricking dumb
Githyanki? Is this Finnish?
>Is this Finnish?
I am confused by the question. Ellaborate. T: Pekka.
How the frick does that sound anything like Finnish?
you morons this is exactly how people around the tabletop talk, it's not meant to be "immersive"
This, it's similar to the tone the D&D movie went for. The party characters are meant emulate the experience of playing the tabletop and speaking like normal people, not everyone has to speak in ye ol English. The npcs sound like they fit the world, but the characters sounding like modern day is totally fair game for D&D.
>speaking like normal people
People don't speak like that in real life
>I'M A moron THAT DOESN'T LIKE RP OR IMMERSION AND JUST WANT TO MURDERHOBO AND FRICK AROUND ALL TABLETOP RELATED MEDIA SHOULD PANDER TO THIS
go frick yourself
another reason D&D players should be shunned
sucks not having fun friends I guess
sorry for not being into IRL ERPing
>DnD
>fun friends
AHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAKYS, YOU FRICKING NERD
And if I wanted a tabletop game perhaps I would seek out the kinds of subhuman cretins able to spew lines like that without feeling the compulsion to gouge their own eyes out.
>it's bad on purpose guys
No, it's good and true to the experience. You are just seething and moaning basing on moronic head logic.
No one bought this expecting an exact simulation of the tabletop experience, nor is that in any way desirable. have a nice day already, shill
That's actually exactly the reason I bought it during early access, and it is by far the best adaption of D&D in video game form. I play with my friends and we have a great time. I couldn't give a frick about the opinion of someone who isn't into rpgs of the like.
Glad you had fun but its questionable why you are paying a company for an experience you can have with your friend for free (and more fun)
Because we love this game too. D&D fans like D&D game, is that really a logical leap? The difference is pretty simple: you can play without a DM.
Up to 4 co-op, whoever starts or triggers a convo is making the decisions. You can optionally click to watch each others convos, and can vote on dialogue options as well as buff them mid-convo. Works pretty fluidly.
Can you play as a full 4 man party in the co-op or is it just two people? How doesthe dialog stuff work? Does the host decide what to say/do during conversations? How about rolls? Sorry for flooding you with questions
Fine, no one sentient did that at any rate
>it's bad
Nobody said that.
thats literally the topic, moron
>decide to play a video game home alone because I hate tabletop culture (i.e. reddit and tumblr shit)
>start the video game
>the dialogue is tabletop culture
cool
cool
cool
cool
yeah cool yeah cool
why would the in universe characters speak as though they are out of character? that sounds fricking moronic
so do people in tabletop initiate gay dialogue with each others on every long rest? like "i wanna roll for me raping clyde's character xdd"
unironically, yes
>he's never played a F.A.T.A.L. campaign
No it isn't, you baiting moron. There is no sex shit in the tabletop because nobody wants to roleplay that with their bros.
I get kicked out of every DnD game for talking like this.
Me and my friends roleplay when we play roleplaying games. Weird!
Yep, it's probably from critical role archives just like warcraft comes from tabletop adventures
And we all know how dumb and cringe is D&D + Crit role
>Ganker claims to hate le quirky millenial humor but somehow accepts this shit
It's more tolerable when you can just kill the b***h outright after her first moronic line of dialogue
If anyone at my table spoke like that as anything but a joke I would rocks fall everyone dies them
Do DnD players really meet up and erp with eachother and make their characters bang?
Yes
Cause sex is good
I don't want to have sex with my friends, not even in my imagination.
Why? Better than escorts, no?
Critical Role really did a number on the DnD community and the types of people that engage with DnD and how the engage with it.
Every campaign turns into comedy hour.
>haha i roll to see if i can have sex with that
>haha i roll to take my dick out
>haha i roll to put my sword in it's butt!
Should've used the term lover. Girlfriend feels like an anachronism.
"Hot" no less so, the line is a meme used in lieu of actual writing
True. I could maybe wave it away by thinking it meant hot-blooded lover.
>tell me your game has female writers without telling me your game has female writers
I think Larian misheard when I said I wanted a big titty goth gf.
so this is that "mature" and "not forced" romance they were talking about
"mature romance" is code for smut under rushed pretext
if you want relationships with depth go read romances for tween girls
I'm remembering why I didn't like divinity again.
damn, why can't lefties write? this is how i talk with with random thots on tinder, people get paid 6 figures for this shit? lol

Am I the only one who finds this "virtual D&D campaign with rolls and narration" thing this series has going on super fricking lame and a waste of time? The same as playing card games on a computer. I don't want to play a tabletop game on my computer, if I wanted to play D&D I'd do that, I play vidya for vidya. Anyone else feel this way?
The spirit of D&D and Forgotten Realms makes a good CRPG. It doesn't make a good straight port though because it completely underutilizes what computers are good at (advanced rules and calculations).
Show me your narrative credentials.
Provide me a game you have written for, a story you have authored, or any other narrative works that you have created.
I'll wait.

I don't have to be a master baker to tell you that you burned your cake and it's unpalatable.

If you really want to continue to go down this food analogy route, it's more like this.

>don't know what ingredients go into a buttercream or even how to make it themselves
>tells the baker something completely unrelated like "why did you put fish in the buttercream?!"
>there is no fish in the buttercream and there is never fish in buttercream
>"this cake is shit!!"
Educate yourself before trying to critique something and you'll find you're better able to articulate your opinion other than just "this game is bad because it isn't made in Japan!"
this homie literally telling us to trust the ((experts)) and keep our goy mouths shut
Actually if you had any amount of reading comprehension skills you'd understand that what I'm telling you is to work harder at articulating your criticisms before you post them.
Simply saying "this is good and this is bad" without any additional extrapolation is a complete waste of time and I'm actively angry that I so often have to read it on this site.
Do you really need some kind of in-depth dissertation on why, specifically, Larian has historically dogshit writers?
The idea of having to write a steam review for every garbage game that gets shit out these days is pointless. Many times "It's shit, and it's obvious why" suffices for people who aren't disingenuous morons.
Yes I too love that the majority of posts have now devolved into people just screaming "SLOP!!!!!" at the top of their lungs.
I'd prefer that over dick-sucking, corporate shills. Do better, israelite.

Anon, you don't heat buttercream frosting you just whip it
As a 40 year veteran of Readings Things I can tell you that the shit I'm reading in your game is Cringe and you need to do better. Maybe you could start by reading a book.
Again, you're a fricking moron. I don't need to explain to you why the buttercream tastes bad, maybe the butter or cream is rancid, maybe you don't know how to fricking mix it correctly, maybe the reason why the cake sucks is because its flavor conflicts with the buttercream, I don't need to tell you why it tastes bad, only that it tastes bad.
I don't need to have to explain that the dialog in BG3 is post-modernist lowest common denominator trash you can expect to see any "modern" fantasy game or TV show. It's what I would expect from a Fantasy Writing 101 class.

You're likely equally as 'unqualified' to criticize anyone else's opinion, given that you most likely don't have the credentials that you claim are so important. so now what? if you want to operate in this fashion, then only a select few will be able to hold a meaningful opinion, and that most likely would not include you.

I know this is a logical fallacy but I'll bite with something I wrote that would be better:
What the frick did you just fricking say about me, you little b***h? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Wizarding, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on goblin camps, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top caster in the entire Faerûn wizarding world. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the frick out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fricking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fricker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Faerûn and your bear fricking ass is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fricking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bear hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the mindflayer forces and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit.

Here.
Came back to the thread to see if anyone had any legitimate credentials. I guess not.
10 replies to this and literally nothing of value. Not sure why I expected anything.
Show me something you've written that gives you the credentials to call this skidmark of a game well written
I haven't commented on the quality of the writing in this game so there's no need for me to provide them.
Why does one need to provide credentials before talking about something?
I don't talk to anyone in real life if I find they don't at least have a college level of education. Credentials matter because it shows you're capable of at least a rudimentary level of logical thought.
The absolute BARE MINIMUM to post about a video game here should be playing the video game but people have proven they refuse to do that. So for the alternative, I'm asking for additional credentials.
>college = logical thought
lol moron
Found the high school dropouts.
Found the debt saddled starbucks barista
so what? I agree that it looks bad, that it looks like i couldn't even grin and bear it through simple shit and simple people. But I don't care. That makes me more of a man than you. Now excuse me, Im trying to get dead god on binding of isaac while i have all the time in the world to sweat about what ill do in life.
College degrees are not evidence of intellect
You seem pretty opinionated on intellect.
Show me some of the doctorates and honorary titles you've garnered. Show me some of the studies and peer reviewed articles you've published.
I'll wait.
that makes no sense though. I might not be a good writer, but I've read lots of great books and I know what good writing looks like, BG3 isn't it. Don't they teach people to use their own brain and think for themselves in colleges anymore?
You wont talk to people without degrees, yet you fritter away your time debating videogames on an anonymous imageboard where you cant prove anyone's credentials one way or the other? Well, I'm Nietzsche's time travelling ghost writer with a masters in everything and I can confidently say that you are a complete moron.
>having any experience with the written language is so unrealistic to some people that they consider having it to be on par with being a time traveling ghost
Interesting take but this just makes you come off as even more moronic.
I mean, clearly everyone here has experience with written language.
I mean, you yourself admitted that you don't have any writing credentials. So what exactly is your point here anyway? According to your own logic, you couldn't argue your point, should someone indeed step forward with writing credentials, you would just submit to their authority and now accept whatever it is they are saying as your new truth? Try reading a book and think for yourself once in a while.
>you yourself admitted that you don't have any writing credentials
Where did I admit this?
You didnt post any,
Ah so you not only lack any credentials but also a complete and fundamental understanding of the English lexicon.
>english lexicon
>lexicon
Bruh
Ah I forgot that the unknown strikes fear into the hearts and minds of folk around these parts. I will try to lower myself to your status.
ENGLISH WORDS
Thats not how you use the word lexicon, dummy
That's straight out of an essay of a high schooler, who thinks he/she is writing something original instead of complete cliche.

Anon, I am not a professional writer, how could I have writing credentials? I don't understand what point you are trying to make here. You clearly are not a professional writer either, so are your writing credentials a letter you wrote your grandma on her birthday or what exactly are you talking about?
I don't think you know how to use that last word you used.
I accept your concession.
>posts something he can barely read
>"i accept your concession"
What did he mean by this
You tacitly admit to having no credentials and attribute others' seeing this to lack of reading comprehension? And you are the one supposedly in a position to demand basic intellect from your interlocutors?
Everyone should strive to demand better from their inferiors, yes. I do it every single day in the form of verbally dismembering them.
But you thoroughly lost the argument you had with those anons. They pointed out that it's stupid to demand writing credentials in order to criticize bad writing and you not only admitted defeat by never addressing their core argument, you even admitted to not having any writing credentials yourself.
Can't see you having many of those, but best of luck to you.
someone asked you earlier what your credentials are and you said you don't have to prove them because you aren't the one criticizing the writing. That to me is pretty much you admitting that you have no writing credentials.

That’s not an argument you Black person
I have written 1 long deleted fanfiction and that gives me enough authority to say that this writing is shit because it's not created to fit the setting and world but to pander to the games' target audience.
my father cringed seeing those dialogues and he wrote fair amount of dialogues for first Deus Ex
How does your father cope with having accidentially predicted the future?
he consumes fair amounts of alcohol
Fair enough, keep him safe, you hear? We are relatively not far away from the crisis point depicted in Deus Ex.

The script/dialogue in FF16 is excellent.
It's eikon time!
No it ain't. I turned that shit off after like 4 hours, 3 of which were all cutscenes with cornball ass dialogue.
Are you really going to pretend that japanese games don't do the same?
>can't post a single example
>didn't even bother naming any examples
Any FE game, they speak like anime characters
Provide an example of one dialogue homosexual. If you don't, I'll pick one at random that will disprove your moronic claim.
>m - muh anime!!!!!!!!
better than speaking like redditors trying to erp
And even anime writing is infinitely better than this trash
They don't because in japanese games characters spend 50 hours blushing like they are 12 when they see each other and then another 50 hours gathering the courage to hold hands. (in the end they never do)
soul
JRPGs are typically male power fantasies so they're almost always fun. WRPGs are typically leftoid cuck fantasies that revolve around being a leftoid, the whole WRPG/Tabletop genre was coopted by twittertards a long time ago.
japanese game dialogue is 1000x worse
what does that even mean in this context?
She wants to frick you until you cum so much / so exhausted that almost pass out.
I'm supposed to be upset by this?
No. But mindbroken Gankerermin in against sex.
When you get older google lesbian porn. For now please leave this site, you need to be 18 or older to post here.
By modern dialog in a fantasy setting?
The fantasy setting that has space piracy where people flying in spaceships that look like seashells, alien babes riding red dragons in outerspace, female goddess being the most powerful being in the universe, Sigil freaks speaking in English chav dialect, and robotmen made to mimic partying adventurers? That kind of silly dogshit you want to maintain le cringe Medieval speak?
Why do chuds even care about D&D? Isn't this shit LITERAL SATANISM for you skullfricks? Follow what your homosexual Republitards/soccer moms did in the 90s or else you aren't following true conservatism, because it sounds like to me your shitstains only change tone when you start to enjoy something libertarians/libshits make after the fact and pretend you weren't against it. I remember when violence and gore was such a contested debate in vidya and once shit like Doom and Halo released, homosexual Repubs shut their mouths when they started liking it.
if you have a fantasy setting its important to keep consistent tone and characterization in order for internal consistency to be maintained and remain believable. But you guzzle slop like a thirsty man drinks water so im not surprised you love this tepid swill.
>if you have a fantasy setting its important to keep consistent tone and characterization in order for internal consistency
Black person, unironically have a nice day. There is no consistency in D&D you absolute fricking blithering troglodyte, get out of the hobby you nerd-posing homosexual.
We're talking about a setting here that has POST APOCALYPTIC DESERT WORLD, A STEAMPUNK WORLD WITH BARBARIAN DROW, A STEAMPUNK CITY OF PORTAL, A DRACULA RIPOFF, SPACE PIRACY IN THE ASTRAL SEAS, and A SETTING WITH DOZENS OF POCKETS OF REALITY.
So is the dialogue natural and true to the characters or is it silly no meaning dnd parody? Theres no reason to play this if the best it can offer me from its handcrafted story that took decades is slop that my friends could come up with off the back of their head. Its lazy and uninspired. Fine if youre drunk with your friends. But if anyone actually paid for this dreck, if they had any standards or taste, they would be pissed off.
not the anon you've been arguing with, but your a moron who doesn't know what he's talking about. DND is a mishmash system and has had weird sex shit and liberal coded morals since its inception. I don't care if gygax was the biggest fattest christian of them all, it doesn't change the game he helped create. the base setting of DND has basically everything in it so some devil chick saying she wants to frick you is absolutely fitting perfectly in the setting. you election tourists are just looking for the next fox news thing to meltdown about. stop wasting the air we all breathe.

And where's the Assyrian empire now? Oh right, it was destroyed and humanity went through a dark age, until the Roman empire rose and fell, at which point we went through another dark age.
historians would probably argue pretty strenuously about considering fricking Babylon and Hellenistic Greece a dark age
The Assyrian Empire's peak was centuries after that tablet was inscribed.
Yes, which is why the author is lamenting the decay.
Black person I said AFTER.
> it was destroyed and humanity went through a dark age
I can't kek loud enough
Look up why it's called Dark Age
>"Every man wants to write a book"

Not today, troony.
How were the next 100+ years after this text was written?
The future is pretty good for them considering they haven't even built the city Assyrians are named for yet so they are no where near there peak and thats not taken into they were around for a long ass time after that seriously this is given what we know one of the least accurate claims of age being doomed of all time.
>every man wants to write a book
Did books even existed back then?
you can't read that cuniform
anyways assyrian empire is long gone, the few ethnic assyrians around dont have their own country or their original religion
they are a conquered people
Does Assyria still exist? No, you fricking moron? So that tablet was right about their civilization ending. So what the frick are you seething about that people want to stop similar from happening to western civilization?
>running amuck
why the frick does that character have the mental illness cow ring shoved up her nose?
can't you moron play fantasy normally without having to shove that shit in?

But he's already on Ganker
Yeah like other anon said i'm already here, with you.
they're just mad that normalgays and mainstream gamers give this game with sex and fetishes a pass while their weebshit with underage looking girls and 'japanese humor' gets rightfully shit on
This happens because of double standards, censorship, xenophobia, lots of men being simps, and man-hating feminists pretending to give a shit about the age of fictional characters that appeal to males because they hate the idea of men having fun without being under their thumb.
weebs are THE untermensch
regarding the weeb question, I propose the ENDLÖSUNG of weebs
You think it's just JRPG weebs? Anyone who's played the first two BG games (and isn't a drooling moron) would tell you the same
Myrkul's speech was pretty cool
Americans/Westerners just have different way of conveying dialogue. Allot of it very meta or self referential. In contrast Japanese dialogue is usually more reserved and formal so any direct or even rough translation is gonna produce something more straight forward. I don’t always like it either but it’s distinctly western.
Recommend me some good japanese fantasy games. I've only played breath of fire 3 so far.

Shocker!
Fun unrealistic is dragons and magic
Setting ruining unrealistic is writing dialogue no one enjoys or could believe anyone would say in a conversation between two characters thar arent fat basedboy redditors
Yeah that flippant attitude is exactly why post-modernist writing is trash. "It's just X so why do you take any of the writing seriously, are you some NEEERD?" Guess what homosexual, if you have a story that takes place on the sun it's unrealistic that you would have a character made of snow.
>it's unrealistic that you would have a character made of snow.
Why? It could be space snow that's colder than the sun. The character could be shrouded with powerful magics. It could be literally (INSERT FANTASTICAL REASONING)
Lol even more post modernist writing bullshit. You're the guy who invents force powers in Star Wars or invents lightspeed kamikaze to fit your narrative.
>The character could be shrouded with powerful magics
Supported by what? Are you pulling this magic out of your ass? Where did he get his magic? Why is he the exception?
Again, for realism you have to have plausibility.
That's why you homosexuals suck at writing stories, you pull shit out of your ass, don't have any way to justify it and just say FANTASTICAL REASONING! It's just a fantasy story! Gosh, there's fricking dragons and elves but you can't believe a snowman existing on the sun?
Define "post modernist writing". Not an example. A definition.
He doesn't know what it means. He just says it and means "old good new bad".
Chuddies are uneducated.
Postmodernist writing, emerging in the mid-to-late 20th century, challenges traditional literary norms by employing techniques like intertextuality, metafiction, and pastiche. Its fragmented narratives and ironic tone often question the very nature of storytelling and historical context, sometimes leading to a sense of nihilism. This playfulness and disregard for convention can be summed up in the flippant attitude expressed by the quote, "it's just about space wizards, don't take it seriously." The approach underscores the relativism and resistance to closure that typify postmodernism, reflecting a complex and controversial literary perspective stemmed from Millennials hating everything.
If 1000 year old e-girl anime dragon girls can exist, snowmen that live on the moon can as well.
You don't get to selectively pick which is okay and which isn't.
Actually you can because anything existing requires justification so you have to justify the snowman on the sun and sufficient justification eventually will become realism but once you set everything up you must take care in the future to follow those rules.
That's not realism, just internal consistency
It's a strawman to believe that realism strictly means we're talking about how closely the story reflects the real world.
>it's a strawman to use the definition of a word
You have no idea what a strawman is
You attempted to use an obtuse definition of realism and then attacked that as an argument because you can augment any discussion concerning fantasy by simply saying "what if we had magic like this in our world, how would it behave and how would people act". But it's far simpler to treat the fantasy world as its own living, breathing thing and fit the idea of realism within its own context. But I get it, you have autism so you typically fight opponents based on technicalities even though it makes you a moron and you'd never want that tactic used on you.
>a literal definition of a word is actually an obtuse definition just because I don't like it and it doesn't fit my argument I'm attempting to make
There is no way the irony you have written here is not intentional. You are pulling my leg.
The point being that by that standard everything that happens in the fantasy world is realistic within its context because it is real there, no matter how internally inconsistent or lacking in justification.
I wonder why I never hear the "muh realism" complaint in regards to shit from people like H.P. Lovecraft.
Strawman Argument: A strawman argument involves misrepresenting someone's position in order to make it easier to attack. In this case, the claim that anything within a fantasy world is inherently realistic simply because it exists within that world might oversimplify or misrepresent the nuanced views about realism within a fictional context. If someone argues for realism within a fictional world, they might not necessarily mean that anything goes, but rather that there are consistent rules or logic that make the world coherent and believable. By framing the argument in this extreme way, it's attacking a position that might not accurately represent the views of the other party.
Bad Faith Interpretation: A bad faith argument is one where the arguer is not sincerely engaging with the position of the other side but is instead attempting to win the argument by any means, including distortion or dishonesty. In this case, the statement seems to reject any possibility of a nuanced understanding of realism within a fictional context. It reduces a complex issue to a binary, either-or proposition, ignoring the subtleties of how realism might be understood differently depending on the context.
Ignoring Internal Consistency: The assertion that anything can be considered realistic within a fictional context, regardless of internal consistency, seems to dismiss a fundamental aspect of storytelling and world-building. Many writers and readers value internal consistency because it helps create immersion and makes the fictional world more engaging and believable. By ignoring this aspect, the statement overlooks a significant part of what might be meant by "realism" within a fictional setting.
You are the one going on about snowmen on the sun and the behaviour of non-human beings in societies that aren't ours. None of that is unrealistic (in the standard sense) "within the fictional context", because in the fictional context whatever is written is real, and therefore realistic. Nor is it internally inconsistent, so what does your lack of "nuanced" realism amount to? At best these things seem unrealistic in that they do not happen in the real world, which you agree is no problem.
You're missing the nuanced understanding of what realism means within a fictional context. Let's take the example of a snowman on the moon. Even in a fantastical world, this can be made realistic if we establish that a wizard with powerful magic sent it there. The magic itself would have rules and logic within the world of the story, making the scenario internally consistent and, therefore, realistic. The same principle applies to non-human societies; they can have their unique social and cultural norms, and as long as these norms follow an internal logic, they contribute to a realistic portrayal. My entire point revolves around the idea that internal consistency equates to realism within a fictional setting. We can indeed use our experience in the real world to extrapolate what may be realistic in a fantasy setting. It's not about whether these elements mirror our reality but about how they fit within the coherent framework of the fictional world. That's where the true essence of realism lies in storytelling.
Internal consistency isn't the "true essence of realism in storytelling", "realism" is just a word and that's not how it's defined.
That aside, we can agree that internal consistency is good, detailed worldbuilding and explanation is good and so on whether we call that realism or not. The question is how BG3 for example fails to meet these standards, because it doesn't seem internally inconsistent for the most part
The characters talk like Critical Role Twitch streamers and not like people who exist in Forgotten Realms. I expect a higher standard of writing from an RPG.
So would you be okay with the consistency if at the end of the game, the credits rolled and the camera did a pan out and it was just Matt Mercer staring you in the face?
It would just be an example of shitty Millennial post-modernist writing. Still doesn't change that the writing itself is cringe baby's first fantasy story writing and no, they don't behave like people that would exist in Forgotten Realms, they act like avatars of a D&D campaign.

>Abrasive
>Blunt
>Stilted
I find it funny that you are describing Karlach to a T so in my mind (as someone that has actually played this video game) the dialogue fits her character perfectly.
Never played the game but yeah, that what happens when you have one dimensional characters, they are predictable and boring. Nothing about this line of dialogue intrigues me because i already saw everything it has to offer.
>Never played the game
Yeah that much was obvious with your first post.
It was obvious when you told me i had the entire character pegged from one line of dialogue? either im a genius or this game's writing is sloppy, reheated dogwater, which is it?
>good writing is when dialogue is completely random and where it doesn't line up at all with the character saying it
I'd love for some examples if this is really your barometer for bad writing in video games. Which are some characters that don't fit into this mold because video game writing is pretty categorically trope-y.
I dont believe bad writing is excused because other bad writing exists, no.
Good dialogue usually needs to accomplish something. It draws you into the scene, makes you laugh, details character, etc. but if it doesnt do at least one of these things its bad.
Like i said, its not written deftly, its not funny, and its not sexy. It fails no matter what you say it set out to do. The only thing it does is tell you the character of the speaker, but this isnt a win because you know since it didnt accomplish anything else besides that, the character is one note. A parody of nothing and nobody is laughing.
Its just bad, man. Its bad regardless of its comparison to anything else.
I'm not excusing it, I'm asking for examples of good writing based off this because I'm of the opinion that it literally doesn't exist as it pertains to characters written in video games.
Halo 2's opening cutscene.
>It's bad.... ON PURPOSE
Western writing became shit when people started to spend more time working out how to analyse their writing, excuse their writing and relate their writing to the struggles of <minority> in <American political meme situation> than they ever spent just writing better dialogue. We've created an industry where Bullshit and the ability to produce Bullshit is valuable, and when you become good enough at creating Bullshit you get to bullshit yourself into believing that your Bullshit isn't bullshit.
Postmodernism was a mistake. Advertising was a mistake. Changing the business model of news and entertainment so that it is "free" and ultimately merges with advertising was a mistake.
It's very straightforward with absolutely no substance or tact.
>There is this bad cult run by clearly bad people
>Only reason you can get anywhere is because you have a thing in your head that they have
>not one person questions this or calls out how the artifact you have can be used to give you free will
>You can help cult, or don't
The game never deviates from this, it's going from one area to the next foiling this cult nobody gives a shit about, it's a cliche of a cliche strung along by bad writing because everyone willfully helps you.
It just feels forced and dumb at trying to make you feel important (you aren't).
>foiling this cult nobody gives a shit about
Huh? Every act so far, the Absolute has been pivotal to the story and the conflicts occurring.
the dialogue is moronic. Nobody needs to do anything more than post screenshots of it or respond to requests like yours because its poor quality is immediately obvious to anyone not baiting
Actually, that kind of fantasy dialogue goes back to Robert E Howard's Conan stories
don't you fricking compare REH's prose to Larian dogshit you fricking rat
Cope. Conan talks exactly like the dialogue in the OP image

That is based. To be fair, the context is wildly, wildy different. The tiefling thot probably wouldnt respond to "what do you believe in?" With "i want to frick ur brains out lol xD"

Thanks for letting us know you never read a single Conan story. Did you know they are freely available to read? Here, since you types keep talking about "educating yourself" why not read some of the best fiction ever written?

It's clear that none of you actually play D&D and if you do you're some homosexual that roleplays in some fancy accent or dialect. b***hing about trivial lines like these shows what little flaws there are.
I just don't get why so many characters are openly horny. I mean, I'm horny too but I don't go around announcing it to every chick I'm into and know for about the span of one or two days. A Persona game of all things has more buildup for their romances and it's pretty much just ten events, and you start dating them in about eight or nine.
every character is also bisexual and bi-species-ial and no matter what monstrosity you have created they always want to frick you. Imagine how you could make an anime harem dating sim even more ridiculous and unrealistic? Just make all the men gay for the protagonist too, as well as the family dog/bear, that'd do it.
You are just a coward
Nip romance is cringe and it usually ends up with countless episodes/in world seasons and years just to have one character confess their like for someone else, and it's no wonder why Japan is such a sexless country.
That's why you can't get pussy and why you're sitting here as a lonely virgin. Yes, in real life you have to show interest instead of beating around the bush which entails being smooth in how you approach your interest in sex. Dining and wining doesn't work, and it makes make you corny if you can't smooth talk yourself into her panties lel. Ever wonder why Black folk are constantly smashing pussy? It's because they approach women and make their advances/intents known in their chimp-like way "AYO MAAA! WHERE YOU GET ALL DAT ASS FROM!"
well now it makes sense, its written for Black folk. No wonder its so shallow and unnatural.
It's made for people who have sex and aren't autistic, unlike you.
People who have sex, have sex. With real people. They dont need some eggless tumblr harridan to spit out passionless big bang theory one liners at them to jerk off to, whats wrong with you?
They have sex, and they portray how courting and sex is played out in real life. I'm not the one who created the game, but I can guarantee the developers behind the game fricked more than you will ever in the pitiful existence.
no one talks like this in real life
True, this is how real life nips court.
>I can guarantee the developers behind the game fricked more than you will ever
even if people talked like that outside of text message (they don't) I want a proper fantasy story and not some teenaged zoomers talking to each other
Anime romances can take way too long and get moronic about it sometimes, but at least there's some buildup. The characters in this game don't have much buildup, but they also don't act like they want as much sex and one night stands as possible. It doesn't work in either way.
this is like the 6th time I've seen someone here defend cringey nerd fanfic writing by randomly talking about black men having sex
the psyche of the reddit bugman/tumblr woman literally revolves around black people, and they will always draw comparisons based on this, even when the subject is some gay fantasy game written by and for white nerds
Anime mods when?
>It's clear that none of you actually play D&D and if you do you're some homosexual that roleplays in some fancy accent or dialect. b***hing about trivial lines like these shows what little flaws there are.
this. If you don't roleplay in some fancy accent or dialect and get into crafting and RPing as an interesting character, you're not roleplaying, you're just a homosexual who's taking up a seat at the table of people who want to roleplay.
Reminder that incels only want japanese toddlers hitting on them
I don't understand what is wrong with this. She was forced to fight a war in hell for 10 years and finally escaped but her heart got replaced with a demonic engine that makes her have an infernal aura constantly consume her and gets worse when she gets excited so she cant have sex or touch anyone because of it. She literally says she is pent up, also she is a barbarian and if you homosexuals played the games you shitpost about or know anything about barbarians you would know they like to frick and are kinda dumb, like Karlach.
whats wrong with her is she's boring and her dialogue sucks. Doesnt matter if she's got a backstory if none of it translates through her flat, generic porn parody turd dialogue
>porn parody turd dialogue
The dialogue in the OP is from a romance scene that is maybe 12 lines of dialogue total.
thats even worse. what couldve been a tender moment between two characters sharing their vulnerabilities is instead a shitty softcore dnd style porno skit. Shoddy form,
She is a moron barbarian, she isn't some bard.
Is she a complex character with an inner conflict regarding her desire for intimacy and her cursed heart? Or is she just a meme character? Whats going on here?
Her backstory is cool but overall she is one of the weakest origin characters because nothing really happens except you fixing her demonic engine and I guess fulfilling he dream of becoming a do gooder adventurer. I don't think she is a bad character though just not good compared to the other origins.
This thread is so funny
It’s clear everyone complaining about this line has never fricked a woman before
What has Ganker become man
Tranime brain rot
>What has Ganker become man
go back
Ngl if someone said that to me I'd see stars right then and there
>has become
always has been
You were never Ganker election tourist, you are an invader who doesn't belong in anyplace but your contain board.
the crime isnt the sex, the crime is its painfully predictable and campy (and not in the fun way). The entire game is one joke told poorly. LAME
>t. chuddie to the prostitute now leaving his apartment because he cannot even pay for sex due to his social incompetence
guess that explains why you're here, chuddite
>Lol, I remember growing up in a time when lesbians are hot, but now are crying at Shadowheart tribadism.

>one is in magic dark ages
>the other is at a japanese highschool where the kids speak like kids
I hate japanese writing so much, it's always cringe and seems like it's written by some manchild pervert who never had sex.
Thanks god Japan is dying in the vydia industry.
>we
you'll never do shit, incel
the more i see of this, the more it looks like a game for girls.
>game comes out
>Ganker just spams threads about all the romance options and nothing else
The more I see of it, this board seems like a board for homosexuals.
>Its Ganker's fault that the game is written for teenage girls
Powerful.
you've got it wrong, it was written BY teenage girls (all mid 30s-40s, some biologically male) and it was written for israeli financiers
>cute and funny female characters threads die on spot
>homosexualry, bestiality and shitty graphics are ok!
This is the world we live now.
The entire point of storytelling is to enjoy the fantastic, anon.
For 99% of this board, romance is fantastical.
Its pretty heartening that even the sexless are looking for cute,wholesome teenage love rather than disgusting and boring dialogue written by ugly roasties with no eggs
Same as for 99% of the playerbase of BG3. Which is why it sucks that the game has such shitty romances.
Feels good to be in the 1% then. My gf made my female tiefling wizard and we've picking dialogue options together.
Shut up. Women have never paid attention to me in real life, so I have to get my fix somewhere.
I don't know how you can get your fix from dating sims. The fact that everything follows a flowchart is simply too obvious and too artificial for me to feel anything. Maybe that will change with AI though
Come home anon. She's been waiting.
So, I never cared for BG3 but played a lot of OS2, if I can extrapolate correctly, romance in BG3 works somehow like this
>character is cold to you
>progress in game makes character to tell you about personal stuff
>eventually you reach a point where you get an option that makes the flirt levels go from 0 to 11 and on the next panel you're already fricking.
>I want to ride you
>two females
anon, did you give your body type 1 character a penis?
>This is why I only play Japanese fantasy games
Lmao have you seen Jap dialogue? Every other sentence is cringe af.
Japanese games are far worse.
>newhomosexual, wiener sucking, cum drinking OP that has never played the originals
What's with the influx of these extremely moronic threads?
I love how the Larian defense force always posts screenshots of the original games somehow trying to prove that the Larian writing isn't garbage, but it always proves the exact opposite. There is literally nothing wrong with the BG1 dialog you posted.
have a nice day newhomosexual. By that argument the same can be said about OP pick.
Kek, got caught out and already seething.
>unironic tranimegay
So you're indeed utterly moronic.
>old dialog wasn't bad
>actually old dialog was good
Changing the narrative already, huh Shazamtroon?
You need to go back newbie.
Ganker is one person?
That's the point you fricking moron. When you morons can't even come to an agreement on whether the old dialog was good or not, why take anything you say seriously about the current game?
>"if all humanity can't come to a consensus, why take anyone seriously about anything?"
No one is asking you to take Ganker as such seriously, that would be moronic
Then maybe homosexual OP should stop spamming these threads?
What do you mean "changing the narrative"? Nobody's narrative has ever been that BG1 and 2 had bad dialog, that would be factually wrong and stupid. Of course you can always sift through thousands of text to nitpick some random joke that nowadays might sound a bit reddit-tier, but overall the writing in BG1 and 2 is excellent. Larian games however do have bad writing and bad dialog.
LMAO
pretend oldgays trying to fit in with "old good new bad", despite having ever played neither old nor new
This is better than 3
>NOOOOO STOP TALKING ABOUT BG3
>SEE? THE OLD GAMES WERE JUST AS BAD! THIS COMPLETELY DEBUNKS ALL CRITICISM TO BG3
Are you literally fricking moronic?
>NOOOOO STOP TALKING ABOUT BG 1+2
>LET ME PRETEND LIKE I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! STOP MAKING A POINT!!!
the point you unintentionally made is that the writing in BG1 and 2 is clearly superior to that of BG3.
Nah, the writing and the reactivity in story is LEAGUES better than what BG 1+2 would ever achieve, and you trying to gaslight with your homosexual tranime romance wants is weak and laughably shows how little you play games.
why do people even call it a "romance" in BG3? Romance implies that there are romantic feelings and some kind of a build up. What happens in BG3 is more like a fling or a hook up.
It's flings and hookups that eventually lead to more serious and profound relationships that play out throughout the game that leads to companions wanting to kill other companions for you or making rash and harsh decisions.
The fact you permavirgins put sex on such a high pedestal while complaining about getting none is the reason why you are not getting any. Nobody treats sex this way except for religitards and homosexuals with massive inability/insecurity issues.
I mean, you do have religious party members in BG3. Why is none of them showing any kind of morals and values that would differ from modern day left wing urbanite?
Not all Clerics have oaths of celibacy, and there are gods ranging from those who have domains in Thievery (Gods of Thieves), Death (Mrykul), to Murder (Bhaal) whose Clerics are simply arbiters of their rites/rituals to spread their influence or keep the balance going. This goes true ESPECIALLY for Shar, a literal evil goddess that values the act of personal gain whether it's kidnapping, murder, or thievery, and her worshipers worship her only out of fear and her Dark Reward/lichdom.
This isn't a new thing. This harkens back to the days of Sword&Sorcery and Conan with goddesses like Ishtar where her temples are literal fricking orgies from everything in the likes of ACTUAL bestiality, women fricking statues with penises, to engorging in gluttony/avarice.
Ishtar is also a real world pagan fertility goddess from the egyptian pantheon iirc. In fact, the catholic church co opted some of her symbols along with other pagan fertility practices and rolled it all up into Easter (Eastet, Ishtar - clear etymological connection) One of those practices involved young, sexually mature people getting together at the
start of spring, the women would paint themselves in bright colors and hide in the woods while the men would search for them and immediately plap plap plap get pregnant upon finding them. A primitive version of the modern "easter egg hunt", in case you wondering what colored eggs had to do with Jesus. Rob Howard was very well read
Everything you wrote is wrong
>everyone purposefully starting to widen their use of vocabulary because someone is talking shit about their credentials
jesus christ just stop replying to him.
This, just call him a baiting homosexual and move on
Frickin newbies
Don't let women write the game is a good start. Other thing is previous Larian games were not serious, they had a comedy slant apparently, which shows here in their lack of experience.
Why is asiatic allowing all these fricking shill threads
Because they are no shill threads and are people displaying genuine hype. Why doesn't asiaticmoot do something about /misc/homosexuals who don't want to discuss games but b***h and moan about their diarrhea redpill/permavirgin dogshit and ramblings.
>Why doesn't asiaticmoot do something about /misc/homosexuals who don't want to discuss games but b***h and moan about their diarrhea redpill/permavirgin dogshit and ramblings.
because it brings money you moron
you got any other stupid questions to ask? Hiroshimoot removed the report rule that pertained posting pol outside of pol, moot welcomes it now
False, it's the reason why you homosexuals get banned from this board on a regular basis and you now how to circumvent your political diarrhea by pretending you're talking about a game so you can complain about being a virgin, women have sex, and that the West is falling because bear sex, and le Christtard.
>false
??? The report option is literally gone. You can see it right now.
Black person, there never was a report for /misc/homosexuals, stop with this gaslighting diarrhea. What the rest of this site does is report you shiteating homosexuals for being off-topic and starting a flamewar.
? offtopic and racism outside of /b/ are there as they always were
tell me you're a dysgenic midwit without telling me you're a dysgenic midwit
I play both Japanese and Western games.
Japan is no better. It's just a different kind of extreme. West or East, there is no win. You either have romance so vapid and pure its downright esoteric or oversexed degeneracy with comically exaggerated passion and all the substance and tenderness of a tinder hookup.
Why is no one capable of doing romance properly?
>Why is no one capable of doing romance properly?
because love doesn't exist
BG2 did. First and last time it was done properly.
Romance doesn't exist.
>Why is no one capable of doing romance properly?
Because it's a videogame, not real life. Sitting in front of a monitor/TV and pressing a designated number on a discussion wheel to see a 15 second cinematic is a whole different thing than going on a date, holding someone's hand, kiss or just looking in the eyes of someone with whom you are slowly feeling something else besides a crush. Those who never got to feel that cannot know the difference.
yeah but books, movies and tv shows can do romance just fine. It's obviously not going to replace the real life experience, but it doesn't have to be as shitty and juvenile as it is in BG3.
other media and even games have good depictions of romance though
Checked and because the nature of the videogame medium will always compel the player to self insert on some level and that creates an inherently pathetic and inorganic environment for romance. Games with a set mc are a little better, but even in things like the witcher, the dialogue options make the romance sort of cringe when the game occassionally gives you a chance to say something incredibly horny out of nowhere. The best love stories can only happen between npcs. Just like real life
This isn't Marvel writing it's just how normal people who aren't Ganker incels talk. Unironically better than weeb shit. Do I even need to mention in Zelda they show the fricking goat lady explain the dragon transformation rules 3 times in a flashback within another fricking flashback. Yeah I'll take this over tropey anime shit that's literally always the same cookie cutter dialogue.
no, normal people do not say "Ugh, GODS, I want to ride you 'til you see stars" that is fanfic schlock written by a fat chick
everyone naturally used to make of this when it was Jennifer Hepler writing Dragon Age 2, now you just have low standards
We don't. What the mainstream wants is silly ironic dialogue, so that's the shit you're going to get.
>THIS IS HOW NORMAL PEOPLE TALK
What the frick kind of next level cope is this. I have NEVER heard anyone talk like this and I've had sex so fricking pull the incel card on me.
This is the kind of shit people used to make of fanfiction dialog for having
All of the romance dialogue is cringe.
Japanese Dub is just as cringe you just don't understand the dialog.
(OP)
>This is why I only play Japanese fantasy games
>WRPG fantasy has moronic dialogue
Yes, let's take a look at the quality Japanese writing, shall we?
That's hilarious though. Jack at least isn't written like a typical KHV JRPG protag
>Jack at least isn't written like a typical KHV JRPG protag
He is, just not the protagonist, and he has a self-aware attitude.
>B-B-B-B-B-BUT AT LEAST IT HAS DA CUTE ANIMU GIRL IN IT!
And this is why we shouldn't even acknowledge what these cretinous shitstains have to say in regard to what "your story"/games/romance should involve. It's clear that the only thing they are basing their shit opinions on or even care about is being blinded by tranime and what their REAL tantrums comprise.
Is this the Japanese equivalent of Forsworn? I feel like there's a cultural gap going on here...Was this popular in Japan or did the Westerners eat up this shit?
>Says bullshit
>plays limp bizkit
>refuses to elaborate
It's the kind of writing you joke about on Ganker but actually real.
kino
Change all the character's to Baldur's Gate and you would get weebs hating it. Another case of:
>It's okay when Japan does it!
It can't be helped.
>the supposed best of modern WRPGs is better written than the worst written JRPG of the last decade
>this proves WRPGs are on par
Fricking Christ
>worst written of the last decade
Sure, if you discount every single other JRPG published within the last decade. Kingdom Hearts 3 was a mile long log of absolute dogshit for comparison and pales in comparison to Stranger of Paradise.
>Why is post-LOTR Western fantasy dialogue so moronic? And how do we make it great again?
Return to a time when writers deeply held traditional Catholic values.
move on to your next cringe teenage phase please, the tradcath thing has gotten old
also you're completely wrong, what needs to happen is fantasy needs to be written by scholars influenced by myth and history and language instead of onions bearded nerds influenced by dungeons and dragons
>the tradcath thing has gotten old
Not him but I was born Catholic, those "tradcaths" or whatever have already moved on to Orthodoxy/Islam/whateverthefrick, and that other guy is still correct
>EN dubs
>European company known for its cringe writing and cringe dialog
>makes another game focused on romance.
>everyone is surprised the romances are pure cringe.
Kek.
is surprised
you don't actually think this do you?
Yeah jrpgs have AMAZING dialogue you fricking politics obsessed homosexual.
Nothing has made me lose any consideration I had for Ganker opinion faster then seeing you seething morons that probably don't even play video games, let alone ttrpgs, screech like a bunch soccer moms about this game being something it isn't. Goty, stay mad you 2016 tourists. You were never welcome here and you still aren't. /misc/ isn't all of Ganker and we don't get a frick about your gay little social values.
>Baldur's gate is sitting at 97 percent in Metacritic right now and TOTK at 96.
Oh no no no no no no no ninsissies... our response?????
TOTK is 100% the game that bg 3 is. The critic score will go down when the paid reviews are gone
Holy shit hope this is bait
>the troll recoils at the idea of having to meteoritic more than 5 reviews
I played and enjoyed both games.
Seethe.
anytime a fantasy character says "gods" I cringe. None of these characters believe in gods other than their chosen favorite, just like in real life.
Guess the Greeks didn't exist eh?
Greeks said "god" because zeus was the clear cut dominance. All the others were his servants, or uppity little shits that got sent down to hell.
autism is referring to Hercules as "god" when he didn't actually create the world.
No one with a functioning brain is confusing demigods with gods, and Greek creation isn't Genesis, there is no singular creator you imbecile
Given that all the gods actually do exist and intervene directly in the world, yes, everyone believes in all of them.
wrong, dieties that are ethereal aren't the god of creation. calling Hermes your god is like calling a janitor the Founder.
And yet there were temples to Hermes where people were dedicated specifically to him. Besides, neither Greek myth nor D&D has a creator deity.
In the forgotten realm the existance of multiple Gods is factual, people instead choose to worship deities that more closely align with their values.
>god of creation
Abrahamic religions are the only ones to specifically have their singular God also be responsible for creating the universe instead of just having a cabal of Gods each responsible for various different concepts.
>anytime a fantasy character says "gods" I cringe.
Same. Especially when they say "Oh my gods"
why would they not believe that gods who demonstrably exist, exist?
You don't want magical gangbang?
I’m enjoying these segments, because they’re funny and I like seeing all the different interactions.
You’re all like a bunch of women expecting some raunchy mature 50 shades tier writing or some gay shit when all I was interested in in the first place was indeed getting myself a hot githyanki gf
>believable line that two adults could actually use in their private intimate moments together

have a nice day
>Why is post-LOTR Western fantasy dialogue so moronic? And how do we make it great again?
Too much insecurity at Western Fantasy's inherintly Christian legacy, so by trying to scrub it they end up with something souless.
LOTR had nothing Christian and was all based on paganistic traditions stemming from Norse Mythology. Christtard has no interesting aspect to it besides crying about sin, even the superstition within it comes from people in that region appropriating their old faiths and incorporating them into the new.
>LOTR had nothing Christian
Embarrassing cope
>paganistic traditions stemming from Norse Mythology.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Besides folk pratices in the Baltics that lasted into the 1800s, most recorded pagan stories that then inspired fantasy are still inheriently Christian.
Said stories were recorded from pagan oral tradition into writing by Christian monks, retold with Christian morals in mind, and generally have an inescapable Catholic flavor to them.
This is a problem, because if you reject this, you end up retelling a very artifical modern form of Paganism, such as trying to sell old paganism as Wicca, that does not "feel" realistic at all and takes the audiance out of the story, even if they themselves don't understand why.
Asia is generally better at handling this. Many of their writes will make anti-buddhist stories, but still be baked with buddhist concepts and imageries.
>Many of their writes will make anti-buddhist stories
Name one
Attack on Titan
>Christian legacy
name 1 thing Christians successfully banned post ww2
In 2021, Texas banned abortions beyond six weeks of pregnancy. When the Supreme Court overturned federal abortion rights the following summer, a trigger law in the state banned all abortions other than those intended to protect the life of the mother
woah, christards banned killing babies?
Its over babykilling sisters... we'll have to go to the next state over to kill our babies now

notice how the shill campaign was not about praising the game for gameplay, writing, story or characters but about attacking anyone who didn't agree with wanting their butthole drilled
and now somehow it turns out the game is trash

The fricking women who wrote the companion encounters should be stoned to death. You either get railroaded into being a butt pirate by being polite or be a complete ass with no in between.

>jrpg
unironically just remove dialog systems altogether and you'll make these games 20x better.
All BG3 threads seem to have tourst problem today.
Consider playing the game instead, if you like it.
Or talking to your family.
You only play jap slop because you're a weeb. No need to justify your addiction to tranime with cherrypicked scenes. There is no more cringe-worthy dialogue that what you find in weeb games.
Black person Black person Black person Black person
Kingen
this dialogue feels dumb to me because I'm so unlovable that even a girl wanting to frick me in a fantasy game is unbelievable
If a MALE character said that to a female character it would LITERALLy, not figureatively in the slightest, be R@p3!!1
we don't
That character is fricking garbage but clearly the writer in charge of her didn't write the whole game. Just kill her when you first meet.
>Ganker (a group who categorically has zero real life friends) has zero idea how a DnD session functions or how people lightly roleplay (usually with a slight comedic element)

The only cringe dialogue is from your PC, and only if you pick it. Don't be a dope.
