holy shit. get some new material. you've been posting this shit for like 3 years now. even the fricking image starts to disintegrate from you reposting it hundreds of times
most of people are bisexual but refuses to accept that. larian told that you can be ''real'' you in our game but due to repressive society people choose the most boring white male ever
>larian told that you can be ''real'' you in our game
I became a demon and slaughtered innocents to frick the drow mommy
that isn't the real me, surely
R-right?
I agree with the journo. You can choose from a varied roster of fascinating races and you choose the blandest option. At this point why play a high fantasy game at all, go buy some got licensed shovelware or something if you want realism™
a normal person dropped into a fantastical world is more fantasy than a blue skinned dyke that looks just as weird as everything else. grow a brain and learn to role play.
Then you are a moron who is completely clueless of RPGs and fantasy writing in general. Qualities "male" and "human" equal to bad, bland writing only in the minds of bitter femcels. You can write a good male human character, there's no issue there. No, your character being a weird blue-skinned alien doesn't make your character better. If anything, it puts you in a situation where you have more to prove.
>a varied roster of fascinating races
like Black folk
there are far more Black folk irl than white people yet you never complain about Black folk in games
curious
It's not about the blandest option. It's about being a self insert. I tried to make my character look like myself, but only 2 or so of the male faces look even close to a normal human being. So I have to choose from those 2, to what I most look like. When you romance companions and such, it feels more like it's me doing it, rather than watching some char that looks nothing like me, frick shadowfart. If you really think about it, people who don't make self inserts, and frick a companion, are really just cucks. They are watching someone else frick your waifu.
It's not a "want". It's just a default option if available for me. "I can't customize a character like me? Ok. I can? Ok, I'll do that".
Why wouldn't you choose that option if available? The only reason I can think of is if you're some sort of self hating person who see's himself as weak and pathetic or is ashamed of himself in some way, that they don't want to see themselves in a game because for them it's extremely unrealistic of them to be some sort of competent person like they are in a game, and the only way they can identify with such a person, is if it's not themselves.
Honestly I don't see the problem with self-inserting. I've even done it a couple of times myself for fun with characters. Then again I'm not a fat loser who hates himself so maybe I'm not that desperate to pretend like I'm not me. That all being said my first character in BG3 was a frickable high elf wizard qt.
>if the most popular character was a white guy with a dozen of unique features in this vast character creator they wouldn't have minded
What a concise and plausible example, continue to gaslight about devs like [...] not being white guilt morons. The default character was a black woman by the way, totally didn't factor into them b***hing about players actually going in and changing their character to a white male though.
White guilt is a mental disorder The day shall one day come that communists will stop being so annoying and are eradicated.
>varied roster >human with long ears, human with horns, short human etc. >instead of actually putting effort into the game and making playable goblins, gnolls etc.
Nah.
>how you ignored the reused human skeleton because [moronic babble]
What's even funnier is that their previous game allowed you to play as a lizardman race with its own unique animations.

When communists took over in russia the first thing they started doing was making movies and art about gore and sex and nudity, hyper degenerates gravitate towards communism because they want a world where people having sex in the street is normal
There is objectively one correct way to play these games >first playthrough: john knight the white male paladin with a longsword >second playthrough: your pick of blue elf woman where you roleplay as a prostitute and have sex with everyone in your path
simple as
Why do you guys always jump to porn? It's not funny bro, it is not 2008 anymore. This shit is disgusting. When the culture is literal softcore porn, making jokes about porn isn't edgy or shocking, dude, just repulsive. Do you have a sister? Chances are, she's going to become some prostitute, dude. The world we live in is breeding bawds using our sisters and mothers. I can't talk about Mario without one of you cumbrains talking about having sex with peach. Can you just relax for a second? Please come up with new material? Please?
I agree with the first playthrough at least.
Like it or not, these characters are always the ones who get the most out of a game. If you play as an emo wizard with mommy issues, odds are that you're gonna miss a lot of content, because it's impossible to add enough complexity for all choices in a game.
it's like that every time. they sit in their echo chamber, making themselves believe that everyone shares their views and it's only some few evil people keeping them all oppressed
and then when they think they give people the tools to "throw off that oppression", they are faced with the fact that no one but them gives a shit
Where does it say you can't create a character like that or doing so is bad? Its just saying giving the breadth of options, people overwhelmingly created a generic guy. Is neither good or bad, just an observation
information up to 2020 only gives us information up to 2020 we cannot really use this information in 2024 for anything useful. we can say that in 2020 people who played had generic character.
Information that is only relevant to 2020 is not relevant to 2024, yes. Moreover, this topic has been discussed ad nauseam for three years while the game was in early access because OP kept posting same bait over and over.
stops being relevant with age
Correct.
Nobody cares about the effects of the Great Depression form 1920 anymore, because it is not fricking relevant anymore.
Move the frick on.
????
Why should I care about anything other than the fact that this thing exists? It is NOT relevant anymore. Not everyone is a schizo you that care about dead and done things.
It's not like we have a time machine to impact an event that has already happened. So what's the point of bringing relevance to this? We've already reached we conclusion, what else is there to discuss?
>Information is ALWAYS relevant!
Oh yeah!
Dude, did you hear that the Library of Alexandria caught fire!? What will Biden do about this!? We need to discuss more methods to prevent library fires and establish tougher laws against arson!

On other news, I'm so excited for the Dreamcast. The release date is 9/9/99! I can't wait to play Sonic Adventure, but I need to go inlist towards WWII first.
>Dude, did you hear that the Library of Alexandria caught fire!?
Ironically people are now questioning catholic version of history & this is one of the examples of it being a lie.
Ill bump this shitty thread. How is this surprising? It's be surprising if it was a black troony but its hardly surprising if most gamers pick the white male.
Shills are so mindbroken by this image that the only insult they have to throw at you is "boring" because you didn't create a purple triple-c**ted troony tiefling(shklee/xer)
Why would I make myself if I could be a huge fricking orc with a waraxe or fire breathing dragon though? I can be me irl. Inability to play as anything but self-insert is a sign of high melanin levels.
you do know that you can just make a human character that is not you right?
you warlock doesn't gain anything interesting from being a tiefling over a human
Why would I make a human character that is not me? I am literally a human IRL, why would I choose "some dude, but not me" in a setting where I can choose to be anything? >doesn't gain
Wrong, I gain epicness >warlock >tiefling
I played half-orc barb and dragonborn sorc, but you are still wrong, considering palafin-warlock is the most popular multiclass and fire resistance is good on any frontlaner
>Why would I make a human character that is not me? I am literally a human IRL, why would I choose "some dude, but not me" in a setting where I can choose to be anything?
to roleplay? >Wrong, I gain epicness
there is nothing epic about an half-orc or a 5e dragonborn >b-but my number gets bigger if i pick this race
yeah like i said, you gain nothing INTERESTING
Because I want to be Captain Kirk and boldly bang where no man has banged before.
Plus I just like having a blank slate character to absorb the setting with and normal humy helps me get in that zone. The Dragonborn do look cool as shit in this game though so who knows, maybe I’ll mix it up.
That's not saying don't do that though, it's just pointing out how most people will default to the generic white dude despite all the options. The only reason the devs might be a bit upset is all the work they put into all the race options not being used, not because of some political anti-white guy reason. If they had that insane idea they would have just banned creating a white guy to begin with.
>all the effort
there's barely any customization and DnD neutered their race bonuses so everyone went fricking half-elf or some shit but all the races have like 4 faces at most for each gender, everything else is just hair and basic skin features, barely anything to work with
horns, tails, etc are only on tieflings, which no one fricking plays
>horns, tails, etc are only on tieflings, which no one fricking plays
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WE FOCUSSED TESTED EXCLUSIVELY HALF BLACK HALF FILIPINO TRANSEXUALS AND THEY SAID THEY LOVED TIEFLINGS
How do you even average this anyway? Mode?
There's 11 races to play as, so even if human was like 30% of picks, and the rest were lower, then there's still way more non-human players.
Same for gender, is it 90-10 male to female, or 55-45?
I did the wax because /misc/ told me it would frick my immune system. I have severe flowering allergy and every spring is a fricking hell to live through. Guess fricking what.
>create a race that is slightly different from humans >americans screech and piss themselves over how ugly and uncanny valley it is
Until devs have to pander to american market you will not see creative fantasy races in rpgs. In general, that is.
>make literal devils >make weird-skinned frog people >make just long humans >WHAAAT? IS THAT A G-G-GOBLIN?! SMALL HUMANS ARE LITERALLY PEDOPHILIA!!!!!!!!!
>everyone prefers white men
Truth hurts. Bunch of coping loser incels in this thread crying racism. Sorry liberals can't get real pussy. At least you can go online with your leftist peen and try to act superior. Reality is you're impotent and a joke to everyone else.
This didn't this turn out to be what happens when you just select the most chosen option individually? Of course if you do that you get the most basic character possible, that's literally not surprising. The majority of players could choose whacky options for a feature, but if they're split among all the whacky options then of course the largest individual option will be the least offensive/default one.
Anon, it's bait because we've had the 1000th thread about this exact same scenario. Why do you think it's being posted so much if it weren't an effective bait?
The bait comes from its usage, not from its original purpose.
Anon is using this to bait /misc/v/ into whining about minorities. It's easy to understand, anon.
Reminder that Larian was joking in the blogpost in question.
Reminder that the people who put together said data understand statistics and know that picking the single most common option in several different categories will give the most average option overall.
>Trying to predict what schizophrenic morons interpret as an attack is a pointless game.
That is why all sides involved decided it was a bad idea to try and attack their customer base like this.
They really did close off any realistic purchase in the future doing that. It is why they panicked and had to get tencent funding since they were fricking up their own marketing.
We've seen how the tencent marketing turned out, they were probably better off doing it themselves to be honest with you. It's too late now.

Unfortunately for you, you don't matter.

Knowing when someone is acting with contempt towards you is one of the most common abilities in the world, basically everyone can do it, which makes it obvious that you're trying to gaslight right now. Inherently mean-spirited people with agendas don't just accidentally offend the people they dislike.
shit like your pic makes me laugh at the mentality of you paranoid schizo /misc/chuds >ANY ACT OF OBEDIENCE IS KNEE-BENDING >I HATE KNEE-BENDING!!
This whole fricked moron parade started with the football players refusing to stand for the national anthem, and you homosexuals all cried "MAKE THEM KNEEEEEEEL" then, now it's time to listen to authority yourselves and you scream "NOOOO MUH FREEEEDUMB"
You're a bunch of ignorant frickwits and we're all sick of hearing you.
Almost nobody has an issue with killing nazis. The problem lies with certain groups declaring everyone not just like them a "nazi" too. Allies and commieshits started WW2 against innocent germans. When the majority of people on planet earth are Nazis, you'd have to be pretty fricking moronic to think "fight Nazis" isn't a declaration of intent to kill everyone the left can't control. If the left have to censor everything because people are are too stupid to be trusted to not fall for fake news in a democracy then it naturally follows that the candidates they can vote for must be filtered. Next logical step is removing elections entirely but democracy means having the illusion of choice so it can't go that far. I've had an issue with killing Nazis ever since I realized the heavy-handed nature in which they're portrayed in fiction (to the point that Hitler is basically an Ultra-Satan) is because they're part of some quasi-religious fiction written by post-war America to excuse their imperialist warmongering across the world. America has claimed the Holocaust as their own so Americans can feel like they've suffered some sort of national trauma, and Nazis (aka Demons) are the cause of it. And dont forget rhine death camps and bombing civilians and Churchill pioneering "terror bombing" (he named it himself, publicly bragging about it), the act of bombing civilian centers with no war relevancy or industry, as a means to destroy morale. Churchill was a warmonger, chamberlain was a true patriot. London never got fire bombed especially the way dresden and Tokyo did
The allies created casualties in the hundreds of thousands times more than 6 million holocausts put together.
at this point anything that isn't radical left is being considered "conservative"

More times than not when ~~*they*~~ want a diverse look ~~*they*~~ fall to write a good character beforehand. All poorly written content will look like pandering at the end.

Chinese spy apparatuses go ignored in the west, not because of big brained glowness but because of apathy and laziness.
>larian charges full price for shitty early access >people play it expecting constant updates, which they promise >excuse given for charging full price "we are going to datamine your gameplay to create the perfect BG3 experience" >updates are non existent >a month after release start crying about white people >everybody above 90 IQ drops the game >3 years of "datamining" the 10 people stupid enough to still be playing the same content
what a successful early access
KEK
they had to buy bots to inflate the number of players when the game came out because nobody care about the game.
Then suddenly, it win more awards than Zelda, a very heavyweight and classic franchise! It is so blatant corruption in the game industry and a shame for all journalists involved.
This industry need to be replaced with A.I.!
Yes, winning over Zelda was a wake up call that everything was bought. Tencent must have spent millions on bribes for the good reviews, as it is also a marketing strategy.
They can keep their fake GOTY, real gamers know what the real GOTY of 2023 was!

Zelda only loses when the game is rigged.
TOTK is one of the most impactful games of all time.
People who bought Baldur's Gate 3 are the same people who bought Zelda:TotK there's lot of crosspolination in there
anon everything you do and don't do is tracked on videogames, websites, phones, and so on
if larian tracking character creation options upsets you, you should just get off the grid, because nothing in it goes untracked
This is true. As someone that played in EA the game's fist Act is totally different in full release. They did release it in 2020 then most people left then they made it a sex simulator for full release to try and get sales back.
It got the sales, somewhat, but it didn't create a lasting playerbase because the game was just a cheap weg at that point.
yes anon, tencent is suppressing all the media outlets of the WORLD and they convinced everyone that BG3 was succesful because.......
Also you are the only one on the planet that noticed
Most people noticed since the marketing from larian is night and day compared to their pre-tencent days.
Their farquaad strawman could persist for close to 10 years, ruined in mere months because chinese marketers have 0 opsec and ruined it.
On just Ganker we've seen the disastrous damage it has wrecked.
You know those girly guys that like flower arranging competitions and shit?
You think they talk about prolapsing and raping their sisters or wanting to frick animals while they chit chat with the women at the competitions or do you think they keep it about the flower arranging?
Do you think they actually do that or do they just talk about flower arranging because that is what they are there for?
I'm hinting at the game failing because the marketers only pushing the degeneracy. It pushes anyone that isn't a troon out of the topic immediately.
I like fantasy and I like DnD, I will not associate with fetishists.
>It pushes anyone that isn't a troon out of the topic immediately.
Anecdotal but my interest in the game went from "I'll play it when its done" to "oh its a degeneracy simulator now, pass."
Funny thing is I don't remember hearing anything about that shit until the last minute, figured someone would've said something about it during those three years it was in early access.
I had it in EA but didn't play much, figured it was a fine investment for a future game since NWN2 took some time before it became something worth pursuing.
I ended up refunding it on release day after seeing how much of a chomosexual simulator it turned into. I was probably one of the first negative reviews on steam.
>I ended up refunding it on release day after seeing how much of a chomosexual simulator it turned into.
Dodged a bullet there.
I played DOS 1 & 2, enjoyed them, it's been quite a while since I played them so I'm going off memory but I don't remember even a micro fraction of the shit they stuffed into BG3 in those games. Was fully expecting another game like those but this shit came out of left field & even if I could look past that all the BG3 gameplay I saw looked toned way the frick down compared to those games.
Now I assume original sin 3 is going to have lizard men & skeletons fricking each other as the main selling point.

A prospective 200 hour rpg sounded like a good value purchase at the time. I'm glad I dodged the bullet in the long run.
I did intentionally wait until release day to refund the game, I heard about the changes in the bear stream before the 1.0 launch and knew it was going to be pozzed. I waited for release to hit their metrics.

That's irrelevant. All that matters is it was bad PR for Larian/Tencent and their public image has never really recovered. It has only gotten worse over time.

you're right, the non-stop suck off it receives in all mainstream vidya coverage and discussion is just a passing phase. it should be illegal to let you work for food

The designer for the character creation was a dyke that surrounded herself with fake fans that were almost all homosexuals and fujos screeching about transgender Tieflings, it was a surprise for all of larian to learn most of the fans of baldur's gate are white guys
I'm so happy that soon the marketing budget will be gone and we will never hear from this game again.
A cautionary tale that means that with enough money you can buy “success” in the gaming industry. We need to be more vigilant in the future.
>I cannot relate to a character unless it looks like me
ok so i will create a white human male fighter character >no, you will have to create a vitiligo troony Black person
Fighters are surprisingly fun and versatile. I made laezel a two handed melee crit build on my first run, then made my own guy a shield and spear sentinel on my second playthrough.
Feels good,
Not reading this thread but the devs making their example character a black woman without any of the special fantasy shit they chastized fans for not using really was a complete vindication for chuds. All the customization options and they actually really did just want to make black people
BG3 has absolute dogshit reputation among people who actually play RPGs and know their shit. Only praise comes from journos and influencers, both paid shills. And kids unable to see BG3's bullshit because they lack experience.
>absolute dogshit reputation among people who actually play RPGs
what kind of a statement is this? you know that playing a certain genre doesn't put you in some kind of elite intelligence caste, right? it just means you had $30-$60 or a torrent client. >i think a know a little more than the average gamer, heh heh - i'm a Roleplayer

>make sequel to bladur's gate >has nothing to do with baldur's gate outside of an unfinished theme park at the end of the game >it's actually just a terrible 5e campaign for gays and women

They went out of their way to turn Balduran into a mindflayer.
It's a different but same style of shitting on what you should be revering. Might as well make him raise someone else's kid like Kratos or Joel.
where's the gnolls and xvarts? why is half the population of nearly 100% human settlements now tieflings, the other half being one dimensional gnomes/halflings? oh it's all 5e trash that nobody that played the original games care about
nothing in Bg3 is about the original games down to even the enemies

will there ever be a game where you can use the game's character creator to create people other than your main character without mods?
in that case I would make my party of companions a whole diverse cast of characters, it's just my main character that will remain an aryan blank slate
Black dude here. Older black dude. I grew up on shows like stargate. Can quote certain episodes word for word because I love it so much. I enjoy playing characters who look like Jack O'Niell, John Shepard, Daniel Jackson, Elizabeth Weir. I had no issues with way things were in the before times. All of sudden these developers and creators are making it sound like I was in the wrong for loving and imitating these awesome characters. Making it sound like wanting to play as them was some kind of evil. I am seriously fricking sick of it. Just give the fans (me) what I want and stop with this constant race baiting shit! For real, just fhck off!
Same here dude, all the way. I'm not a big fan of the action genre. But I love seeing the people I idolized being successful, and I hate all this mud slinging.
Clint is a real one, anon, you couldn't have picked a better actor to watch and admire. I hope you like his westerns. The Dirty Harry archetype wasn't his only character. Love that dude.
You weren't wrong, anon. They just don't have the talent and passion to make compelling characters, so they fall back on representation. I guess no one told them that appealing to everyone is the same as appealing to no one.
It's so frick frustrating to explain this shit to people, anon. And I don't think very many people understand the lore implications of any given archaic fictional idea. Understanding context, and giving context in any given scenario lends to the believability of universe. I would prefer that budding writers make stories with context that match commonality. Do not care about diversity.
He can still be an interesting character. Like how Gale is a generic white guy. but he's also the most picked ally based on the stats. Characters are interesting based how they are written not how they look.
More times than not when ~~*they*~~ want a diverse look ~~*they*~~ fall to write a good character beforehand. All poorly written content will look like pandering at the end.
This image makes BG3gays seethe because they know 100% within their hearts that this comment would not be made if a minority human was the most created character
Ganker will complain for years about devs not including enough non-human options for player characters or how the masses just picks generic warrior/soldier instead of the more interesting classes. Then a dev echoes these sentiments, and instead all you hear is about nu-/v/'s persecution fetish
The devs didn’t mention race at all. They complained half-seriously that everyone made the vault dweller and said they gave you horns and tails. If you thought this was shitting on white people well you have a persecution complex that needs to get checked
>Hey we gave all these non-human options but everyone just made a generic human >Yep this is shitting on white people

lol, in reality the character creation is just lame and people probably didn't put to much thought into it, yeah it's generic because there's only like 1 or 2 faces that look good and almost all the haircuts clip on the most basic of shit
and its pretty much only the white preset faces that actually look attractive. i've gone through almost every race and face during character creation too.

People are so delusional, you know the people that wrote this either expected this dude as the bare minimum or are a dude and when they look in the mirror they don't see the ugly nerd they are, but this chiseled Chad instead. I fricking swear the average adult is now operating on levels of such utter delusion they could arguably qualify for permanent incarceration.
It's funny to me because people like this pretend to be worldly and experienced but then out themselves as being typical city trash when they admit they live in a majority white area and work a majority white job because now white men are the norm.
Generic in Somalia would be a bunch of toeheaded skinny homies, generic in Italy would be a bunch of olive skinned badaboopi homies.
This always reminds me of that POC dating sim where every character was a shade of black or brown, mixed ethnicities like korean/uganda or some shit and all of them were fat.
Then the last character was a straight male Italian goth rich kid, and he was by far the most popular character to the point that the devs told people they weren't supposed to like him but they can't remove him because he was a kickstarter goal.
Are you an 80 year old obese person with dementia and several other health issues (atleast 4), because that's who covid affected the most by the numbers. When the first NYC numbers came in, and you could see who covid was really negatively effecting, it was pretty clear that if you're relatively young with little to no health issues, covid was pretty much a flu. I got it twice now, not vaccinated, and I've had worse flu's. I wish people would have just simply looked at the numbers instead of thinking covid was genuinely dangerous for them.

I agree with the journo. You can choose from a varied roster of fascinating races and you choose the blandest option. At this point why play a high fantasy game at all, go buy some got licensed shovelware or something if you want realism™
a normal person dropped into a fantastical world is more fantasy than a blue skinned dyke that looks just as weird as everything else. grow a brain and learn to role play.

Why do you assume playing as a human male character is self-inserting?
Population statistics juxtaposed with interest. Larin knows their average player is a white guy.
A white man playing as a character they can identify with doesn't make it self-inserting.
It being a self insert is what makes it a self insert though.
I don't think you know what self-inserting means. Just because your character has hair (like you do) doesn't mean you are self-inserting either.
I do though. I'm sorry your thread hasn't turned out the way you want farquaad.
It isn't my problem.
If you self-insert in a RPG you're casual filth. Anybody who plays BG3 and likes it is casual filth, though.

Then you are a moron who is completely clueless of RPGs and fantasy writing in general. Qualities "male" and "human" equal to bad, bland writing only in the minds of bitter femcels. You can write a good male human character, there's no issue there. No, your character being a weird blue-skinned alien doesn't make your character better. If anything, it puts you in a situation where you have more to prove.
>a varied roster of fascinating races

there are far more Black folk irl than white people yet you never complain about Black folk in games

Self-insertgays are the worst, they can’t conceivably imagine playing as anyone other than themselves
This. You can still be a straight, white, guy, but at least slap some elf ears on or play a dwarf or put on a wizards hat or some shit.
Holy hell, this post really set you guys off, huh.
btw I'm trans and communist if that even matters
>you choose the blandest option.
It's not about the blandest option. It's about being a self insert. I tried to make my character look like myself, but only 2 or so of the male faces look even close to a normal human being. So I have to choose from those 2, to what I most look like. When you romance companions and such, it feels more like it's me doing it, rather than watching some char that looks nothing like me, frick shadowfart. If you really think about it, people who don't make self inserts, and frick a companion, are really just cucks. They are watching someone else frick your waifu.
NOOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE NOT SUPPSOED TO MAKE YOURSELF

why do americans want to self-insert into everything?
It's not a "want". It's just a default option if available for me. "I can't customize a character like me? Ok. I can? Ok, I'll do that".
Why wouldn't you choose that option if available? The only reason I can think of is if you're some sort of self hating person who see's himself as weak and pathetic or is ashamed of himself in some way, that they don't want to see themselves in a game because for them it's extremely unrealistic of them to be some sort of competent person like they are in a game, and the only way they can identify with such a person, is if it's not themselves.
it's a troon fetish game, you're supposed to make gay troony twileks and jerk off after taking all their clothes off
these have to be the most golembrained NPC-tier posts in this thread, good job confirming the stereotype guys
Cope.
Honestly I don't see the problem with self-inserting. I've even done it a couple of times myself for fun with characters. Then again I'm not a fat loser who hates himself so maybe I'm not that desperate to pretend like I'm not me. That all being said my first character in BG3 was a frickable high elf wizard qt.

There is no such thing as "sisters" or "mother" only meat holes to be bred
I agree with the first playthrough at least.
Like it or not, these characters are always the ones who get the most out of a game. If you play as an emo wizard with mommy issues, odds are that you're gonna miss a lot of content, because it's impossible to add enough complexity for all choices in a game.
it's like that every time. they sit in their echo chamber, making themselves believe that everyone shares their views and it's only some few evil people keeping them all oppressed
and then when they think they give people the tools to "throw off that oppression", they are faced with the fact that no one but them gives a shit
Where does it say you can't create a character like that or doing so is bad? Its just saying giving the breadth of options, people overwhelmingly created a generic guy. Is neither good or bad, just an observation
>posts three years old article
You okay, tencent schizo? Forgot to take your meds again? It's not 2020 anymore.
>information stops being relevant with age
this is your brain on tik tok folks
information up to 2020 only gives us information up to 2020 we cannot really use this information in 2024 for anything useful. we can say that in 2020 people who played had generic character.
Information that is only relevant to 2020 is not relevant to 2024, yes. Moreover, this topic has been discussed ad nauseam for three years while the game was in early access because OP kept posting same bait over and over.
stops being relevant with age
Correct.
Nobody cares about the effects of the Great Depression form 1920 anymore, because it is not fricking relevant anymore.
Move the frick on.
Funny how you point at the 1920s and not the 1940s
this sort of ignorance is why most of the corruption in human society exists today
????
Why should I care about anything other than the fact that this thing exists? It is NOT relevant anymore. Not everyone is a schizo you that care about dead and done things.
It's not like we have a time machine to impact an event that has already happened. So what's the point of bringing relevance to this? We've already reached we conclusion, what else is there to discuss?
>I'm a fricking moron
okay
the consequences of the great depression are relevant to today
I think eurasia is still suffering the effects of industrialization. Their steppe people were not prepared for the responsibility of the internet.
World War 2 is still relevant even today always crying leftist and they're masters reminds us about it
>Information is ALWAYS relevant!
Oh yeah!
Dude, did you hear that the Library of Alexandria caught fire!? What will Biden do about this!? We need to discuss more methods to prevent library fires and establish tougher laws against arson!
I bet it was Trump and Genghis Khan who set the fire! They also blew up the Pompeii volcano with Colombo! Frick them!
On other news, I'm so excited for the Dreamcast. The release date is 9/9/99! I can't wait to play Sonic Adventure, but I need to go inlist towards WWII first.
Don't forget your Covid mask anon!
They're still relevant!
>Dude, did you hear that the Library of Alexandria caught fire!?
Ironically people are now questioning catholic version of history & this is one of the examples of it being a lie.
Nice zoomer rage bait.
Ill bump this shitty thread. How is this surprising? It's be surprising if it was a black troony but its hardly surprising if most gamers pick the white male.
Most gamers are Mexican teens
Compare with an older game like DCSS. Human is one of the LEAST picked species.
Why would I ever play Human when I could be a Demigod? Its just Human but better.

Shills are so mindbroken by this image that the only insult they have to throw at you is "boring" because you didn't create a purple triple-c**ted troony tiefling(shklee/xer)
>vast majority of your audience is white men
>they create a character they can identify with in your narrative focused RPG
what the frick?!
IT KEEPS HAPPENING
Why would I make myself if I could be a huge fricking orc with a waraxe or fire breathing dragon though? I can be me irl. Inability to play as anything but self-insert is a sign of high melanin levels.
you do know that you can just make a human character that is not you right?
you warlock doesn't gain anything interesting from being a tiefling over a human
Why would I make a human character that is not me? I am literally a human IRL, why would I choose "some dude, but not me" in a setting where I can choose to be anything?
>doesn't gain
Wrong, I gain epicness
>warlock
>tiefling
I played half-orc barb and dragonborn sorc, but you are still wrong, considering palafin-warlock is the most popular multiclass and fire resistance is good on any frontlaner
>Why would I make a human character that is not me? I am literally a human IRL, why would I choose "some dude, but not me" in a setting where I can choose to be anything?
to roleplay?
>Wrong, I gain epicness
there is nothing epic about an half-orc or a 5e dragonborn
>b-but my number gets bigger if i pick this race
yeah like i said, you gain nothing INTERESTING
Because I want to be Captain Kirk and boldly bang where no man has banged before.
Plus I just like having a blank slate character to absorb the setting with and normal humy helps me get in that zone. The Dragonborn do look cool as shit in this game though so who knows, maybe I’ll mix it up.

You are playing the game wrong.
That's not saying don't do that though, it's just pointing out how most people will default to the generic white dude despite all the options. The only reason the devs might be a bit upset is all the work they put into all the race options not being used, not because of some political anti-white guy reason. If they had that insane idea they would have just banned creating a white guy to begin with.
...frick I've been baited
>If they had that insane idea they would have just banned creating a white guy to begin with.
They are and they did
>all the effort
there's barely any customization and DnD neutered their race bonuses so everyone went fricking half-elf or some shit but all the races have like 4 faces at most for each gender, everything else is just hair and basic skin features, barely anything to work with
horns, tails, etc are only on tieflings, which no one fricking plays
>horns, tails, etc are only on tieflings, which no one fricking plays

The character is a blank self-interest. Is their problem that their target audience is white males?
>video games are mostly played by generic white dudes.
wow, who would thought?
Lariant didn't, wasn't Sven the one who was shocked that Divinity was 90% men?
How do you even average this anyway? Mode?
There's 11 races to play as, so even if human was like 30% of picks, and the rest were lower, then there's still way more non-human players.
Same for gender, is it 90-10 male to female, or 55-45?
White human male paladin who romances shadowheart is the most popular

Truth hurts. Bunch of coping loser incels in this thread crying racism. Sorry liberals can't get real pussy. At least you can go online with your leftist peen and try to act superior. Reality is you're impotent and a joke to everyone else.
Imagine being so assmad about a small joke made in some patch notes for years. YEARS.
This didn't this turn out to be what happens when you just select the most chosen option individually? Of course if you do that you get the most basic character possible, that's literally not surprising. The majority of players could choose whacky options for a feature, but if they're split among all the whacky options then of course the largest individual option will be the least offensive/default one.
Yeah, but baiting /misc/v/ over and over is funnier.
>see larian screeching about normal people playing their games is actually bait
yeah sure buddy
Who are you quoting?

What?
Anon, it's bait because we've had the 1000th thread about this exact same scenario. Why do you think it's being posted so much if it weren't an effective bait?
>please stop paying attention to this it's just bait by larian

Who are you quoting
The bait comes from its usage, not from its original purpose.
Anon is using this to bait /misc/v/ into whining about minorities. It's easy to understand, anon.
Except it wasn't screeching you autistic fricking mong, it was sarcasm. Jesus you're a fricking moron.

Yes you are, glad you finally admitted it.
Reminder that Larian was joking in the blogpost in question.
Reminder that the people who put together said data understand statistics and know that picking the single most common option in several different categories will give the most average option overall.
It's funny how the joke was the beginning of their public image crumbling.
Never attack your paying customers.
It's why they had to sell 30% of themselves t china to stay afloat and then china ruined their public image even further.
>Never attack your paying customers.
It wasn't an attack.
Trying to predict what schizophrenic morons interpret as an attack is a pointless game.
>Trying to predict what schizophrenic morons interpret as an attack is a pointless game.
That is why all sides involved decided it was a bad idea to try and attack their customer base like this.
They really did close off any realistic purchase in the future doing that. It is why they panicked and had to get tencent funding since they were fricking up their own marketing.
We've seen how the tencent marketing turned out, they were probably better off doing it themselves to be honest with you. It's too late now.
>We've seen how the tencent marketing turned out
Millions of sales, universal praise, and the best singleplayer steam playercount performance in history?

Measurably false.

>Sorry, your shitposting here has done nothing but make people realize how absurd your moronic culture war truly is!
This, but for tencent. I won't ever purchase a game they've had their yellow little mitts on. 100% due to how they market online. I feel bad for larian being stuck with them now it really is killing them.
Unfortunately for you, you don't matter.
Neither does the schizo base that cannot fathom the idea of anyone genuinely trying to discuss a measurably popular game
And you're uncultured shrimp
PS: when you walk in to a Baldur's Gate thread
dont you get tired tencent schizo? i mean they own like 40% of epic games so you should boycott any game made with the unreal engine too
Knowing when someone is acting with contempt towards you is one of the most common abilities in the world, basically everyone can do it, which makes it obvious that you're trying to gaslight right now. Inherently mean-spirited people with agendas don't just accidentally offend the people they dislike.
Or it just means you're exceedingly fragile. Most people aren't on a level of homosexualry where they take broad comments as personal slights.
It didn't attack anything. The joke didn't even have anything to do with race.
>Oh my character?

Almost nobody has an issue with killing nazis. The problem lies with certain groups declaring everyone not just like them a "nazi" too. Allies and commieshits started WW2 against innocent germans. When the majority of people on planet earth are Nazis, you'd have to be pretty fricking moronic to think "fight Nazis" isn't a declaration of intent to kill everyone the left can't control. If the left have to censor everything because people are are too stupid to be trusted to not fall for fake news in a democracy then it naturally follows that the candidates they can vote for must be filtered. Next logical step is removing elections entirely but democracy means having the illusion of choice so it can't go that far. I've had an issue with killing Nazis ever since I realized the heavy-handed nature in which they're portrayed in fiction (to the point that Hitler is basically an Ultra-Satan) is because they're part of some quasi-religious fiction written by post-war America to excuse their imperialist warmongering across the world. America has claimed the Holocaust as their own so Americans can feel like they've suffered some sort of national trauma, and Nazis (aka Demons) are the cause of it. And dont forget rhine death camps and bombing civilians and Churchill pioneering "terror bombing" (he named it himself, publicly bragging about it), the act of bombing civilian centers with no war relevancy or industry, as a means to destroy morale. Churchill was a warmonger, chamberlain was a true patriot. London never got fire bombed especially the way dresden and Tokyo did
The allies created casualties in the hundreds of thousands times more than 6 million holocausts put together.
at this point anything that isn't radical left is being considered "conservative"

BG3 isn't a baldur's gate game. The city itself doesn't resemble baldur's gate. It's fan fiction that is why people can disregard it so easily. You haven't missed out on anything Baldur's gate related not playing BG3.
Rebuttal to what, idiot? You're just a boring idiot with nothing meaningful to say, just a collection of blanket statements you could say about anything.
Morons like you are never prepared to go into even the slightest bit of detail because you realize that's the point where your idiocy is well and truly exposed.
It's pretty obvious to anyone with a good head on their shoulders that you BG3 tourists know nothing about video games. People here talk about quality, not about finances. Go back to your mobile trash and gacha games, moronic filth. Dilate.
>gaslighting
this is why the tencent marketing always backfires.
I'm not gaslighting, I didn't call BG3 a failure. Although I can now call it failure as a quality game, as a BG3 successor. But of course you are completely oblivious to these kind of propositions, you only understand monetary value like in your mobile games.
>It is a failure because.... I didn't liked the game.
>Isn't that subjective?
>It is, but IT IS STILL A FAILURE!
Lack of quality is not subjective. If you believe teachers calling you out for your shit writing is "subjective," you are just oblivious to what it means for writing to be good. Or if I call overcooked food failure, I'm not making subjective statements. You don't even know what subjective and objective mean because you never went to school, you absolute moron.

If all their metrics of value are sales figures and the like it is an unironic marketer. People that play games don't give 2 shits about those metrics.
No most people do it. Creating a false image of yourself is what egoists do. like making an AGP version of yourself for instance.
>Creating a false image of yourself is what egoists do.
That's what self inserting is. Roleplaying as somebody other than yourself is the opposite of narcissism
No self inserting is just inserting the self. Inserting a false rendition of the self is the domain of the egoist.
Creating yourself is just creating yourself.
When troons do it they make a false rendition of the self. When normies do it it is just a normal rendition of the self.
No, roleplaying isn't inserting a false version of yourself. Actual roleplaying means playing as someone who isn't yourself. You're such an egoist who's brainrotted by your dogshit ideology you can't even convince of playing a game without self inserting.
People are discussing self-inserting not roleplaying though. We're talking around talking about troontards.
This is a thread about a roleplaying game. You literally can't grasp the concept of roleplaying because you're a delusional egoist.
>We're talking around talking about troontards.
No, YOU'RE talking about troons because of your obsession. Literally rent free.
And people are discussing self-inserting in roleplaying games.
Keep up chang.
You moron you were the one who brought up troon shit when I said roleplaying. I'm just laughing because you're a seething rightoid who is so brainrotted he thinks about the trannies RENT FREE. The fact you hear "troons" when someone says roleplaying because you're a brainrotted poltard you can't stay on topic so instead you go on RENT FREE rants.
What are you talking about?
Oh, I'm quoting the guy who suddenly started sperging out over troons in response to criticism of self inserting in RPGs. You can click on the red numbers to see the post.
BG3 came out November 8, 2020. That article was failed marketing to try and drum up for it's release on steam.
It backfired terribly, but it came out less than a month before the game launched as marketing.
You can google it. I know farquaads from tencent are dumb but google is simple. Maybe you don't know how to translate the month names into cantonese I don't know.
How were players using the character creator before the game came out?
The game was early access for years before it officially released.
According to that anon the game released in November 2020
I mean it did as a work in progress early access game, most of the sales were from that but technically speaking it wasn't "officially" released until 2023. Lines are kinda blurred on that.
It was officially released in 2020. It wasn't a pirate upload, Larian put it up on steam.
>It was officially released in 2020.
I mean you're right but it was also an unfinished game that took 3 more years to get out of early access.
>I mean you're right
That's all that matters.
True, this EA shit just muddies the water.
>everybody dropping the early access for 3 years muddies the water
but not the uncharacteristic worship of the game by the media?
It doesn't really. The game releases on the day it gets put up on whatever storefront it is up on.
It is just an incomplete product, and that is how people see it.
It still released though. You can tell bringing up the 2020 release date upsets the shills because it shouldn't have been in any awards stuff this year.
>it shouldn't have been in any awards stuff this year.
Good point.
So how were players using the character creator before the game came out? And How do you know most of the sales were from 2020?
>So how were players using the character creator before the game came out?
Because the early access version had it.
>And How do you know most of the sales were from 2020?
Early access was 3 years not just 2020.
>Because the early access version had it.
How did players use the character creator before then?
>Early access was 3 years not just 2020.
The game came out in 2020 though
>NO NOT LIKE THAT
No one said you couldn't be generic you crybaby. Good lord remember the days when SJWs were the one's who only viewed games with their victim complex?
I went on the IRC to appeal my permanent ban and got denied
why do you all post on this fricking terrible moron run site?
BG3 trannies fall on the floor and get a seizure when they see anyone playing as a male character.
The most popular BG3 character is a white male
And Larian got angry about it, making a big deal out of it.
No they didn't.
Yes they did, Larian. We won't forget your moronic seething. No, we don't want to play as LGBT characters no matter how hard you try to push this falsehood.
No they didn't.
>you can be whatever you want in this fantasy world
>white cucks do the white cuck thing and self insert because they’re egotistical sociopath
>nooooo dont fun of me I don’t have imagination I’m a israeli golem!!!
White people cannot imagine
Fricking implying that based on the forgotten realms depicted in BG3 that white dude isn't a fricking rarity.
It's based to create yourself and self insert into the character
Frick special snowflakes that need neon mohawks and breasts bigger than their manchests
Creating yourself is only something egotistical homosexuals do. You wouldn’t last 5 seconds in that setting so unless you put every stat on 1 you’re not self inserting
Generic where? The average american and euro nowadays is a lot browner than that 🙂
>having botnet in your character creator
>brain rot morons seethe over race instead of data harvesting on a character creator screen
0 people in the west actually downloaded this and messed with it.
That is why the default setting stayed the predominant setting, people didn't even use it.
Chinese spy apparatuses go ignored in the west, not because of big brained glowness but because of apathy and laziness.

Shit that never happened for 500 Alex
It happened and it was hilarious, larian destroyed their reputation to such a degree this pile of shit didn't get a thread for 3 years to bump limit
then all of a sudden it's the best game ever made? no that media lies
KEK
they had to buy bots to inflate the number of players when the game came out because nobody care about the game.
Then suddenly, it win more awards than Zelda, a very heavyweight and classic franchise! It is so blatant corruption in the game industry and a shame for all journalists involved.
This industry need to be replaced with A.I.!
Yes, winning over Zelda was a wake up call that everything was bought. Tencent must have spent millions on bribes for the good reviews, as it is also a marketing strategy.
They can keep their fake GOTY, real gamers know what the real GOTY of 2023 was!
Zelda only loses when the game is rigged.
TOTK is one of the most impactful games of all time.
People who bought Baldur's Gate 3 are the same people who bought Zelda:TotK there's lot of crosspolination in there
Buddy wait until you learn about achievements
oh no, they're going to sell your elf mage build to the Chinese
anon everything you do and don't do is tracked on videogames, websites, phones, and so on
if larian tracking character creation options upsets you, you should just get off the grid, because nothing in it goes untracked
>larian lied about early access it's the same game everyone dropped it before release the updates were non existent
I dunno what to tell you if you actually believe this.
This is true. As someone that played in EA the game's fist Act is totally different in full release. They did release it in 2020 then most people left then they made it a sex simulator for full release to try and get sales back.
It got the sales, somewhat, but it didn't create a lasting playerbase because the game was just a cheap weg at that point.
>we know our audience
yes anon, tencent is suppressing all the media outlets of the WORLD and they convinced everyone that BG3 was succesful because.......
Also you are the only one on the planet that noticed
gaming media mindlessly shilled DOS 2 and called it the best game ever made and it barely broke 2 million sales
this is media orchestrated shilling, they did the same thing with CDPR
Most people noticed since the marketing from larian is night and day compared to their pre-tencent days.
Their farquaad strawman could persist for close to 10 years, ruined in mere months because chinese marketers have 0 opsec and ruined it.

They're gays so of course they talk about tongues in buttholes.
Do you think they actually do that or do they just talk about flower arranging because that is what they are there for?
I'm hinting at the game failing because the marketers only pushing the degeneracy. It pushes anyone that isn't a troon out of the topic immediately.
I like fantasy and I like DnD, I will not associate with fetishists.
>It pushes anyone that isn't a troon out of the topic immediately.
Anecdotal but my interest in the game went from "I'll play it when its done" to "oh its a degeneracy simulator now, pass."
Funny thing is I don't remember hearing anything about that shit until the last minute, figured someone would've said something about it during those three years it was in early access.
Same. I knew I wasn't going to get it when the bear spam started. Agitprop never actually works.
I had it in EA but didn't play much, figured it was a fine investment for a future game since NWN2 took some time before it became something worth pursuing.
I ended up refunding it on release day after seeing how much of a chomosexual simulator it turned into. I was probably one of the first negative reviews on steam.
>but didn't play much
>I ended up refunding it on release day after seeing how much of a chomosexual simulator it turned into.
Dodged a bullet there.
I played DOS 1 & 2, enjoyed them, it's been quite a while since I played them so I'm going off memory but I don't remember even a micro fraction of the shit they stuffed into BG3 in those games. Was fully expecting another game like those but this shit came out of left field & even if I could look past that all the BG3 gameplay I saw looked toned way the frick down compared to those games.
Now I assume original sin 3 is going to have lizard men & skeletons fricking each other as the main selling point.
A prospective 200 hour rpg sounded like a good value purchase at the time. I'm glad I dodged the bullet in the long run.
I did intentionally wait until release day to refund the game, I heard about the changes in the bear stream before the 1.0 launch and knew it was going to be pozzed. I waited for release to hit their metrics.
I could tell it was moronic fanfiction day 1 of the early access
>I waited for release to hit their metrics.
Ha, nice. Frick em.
You're trying too hard, Ivan. Basically
>How do you do, fellow Gankerners!"
>dev gently teases their playerbase while showing off a neat factoid from collected data
>anon takes it personally
That's not what happened though. The devs posted a blog about how they were disappointed with the fans
>Congratulations, you’ve basically made the default Vault Dweller. What the hell guys. We gave you demon eyes, horns, and even tails. We are sorely disappointed. Go crazy. We worked hard on this!
how much of a boring pussy do you have to be to think this is a serious statement? is there so little going on in your life that you have to make up drama for yourself? if you want to get victimized go to detroit homosexual
That's irrelevant. All that matters is it was bad PR for Larian/Tencent and their public image has never really recovered. It has only gotten worse over time.
>shitposters on Ganker single-handedly destroyed BG3's reputation
you're right, the non-stop suck off it receives in all mainstream vidya coverage and discussion is just a passing phase. it should be illegal to let you work for food
It isn't just on Ganker. My friends irl won't play the game for the same reasons as me. You see the same complaints on reddit, twitter, steam forums, everywhere.
i dont even like the game, i'm just offended at how fricking stupid you are
Don't bother, it's very easy to clock these types of posters here
>BEAR SEX DEGENERACY homosexual troony CHINKS WEST HAS FALLEN
gives them away
>
>only Ganker is smart enough to see through media shilling
then all is lost
If they didn't mean it then they didn't have to say it. This is a company.
Oh shut the frick up. Larian was 100% assblasted and no matter how big of a fanboy you are, you can't deny it. Begone, simp.
>snowflake crying that someone poked fun at him for making a basic choice
high odds that you're the same type of person that makes fun of white girls for drinking PSL and you dont see the irony
Sorry, I live in a first world country so I don't have to differentiate between "white girls" and "other girls" in my daily speech. Go suck corpo-dick elsewhere or go back to YouTube comments section. You don't belong here.
great job completely avoiding the point of the post. mad? mad cause someone called you basic on Ganker?
>Larian
>Multibillion dollar.
Isn't a big argument for representation that people like to make themselves? What's the problem if white dudes like to make themselves too?
The designer for the character creation was a dyke that surrounded herself with fake fans that were almost all homosexuals and fujos screeching about transgender Tieflings, it was a surprise for all of larian to learn most of the fans of baldur's gate are white guys
Tencent Shills got BTFO in this thread.
Holy shit! The farse is over!
It's been over for weeks. They couldn't come back from the 30% posting. These are just struggle sessions for them to give up in now.
I'm so happy that soon the marketing budget will be gone and we will never hear from this game again.
A cautionary tale that means that with enough money you can buy “success” in the gaming industry. We need to be more vigilant in the future.
>I cannot relate to a character unless it looks like me
ok so i will create a white human male fighter character
>no, you will have to create a vitiligo troony Black person
Fighters are surprisingly fun and versatile. I made laezel a two handed melee crit build on my first run, then made my own guy a shield and spear sentinel on my second playthrough.
Feels good,
I might have choose other races if dwarfs looked like this.
>cry about everybody making white dudes
>put no effort into any of the races besides elves and tieflings because those are who gays want to frick
who are you quoting
I thought the most recent poll had dragonborn as the most popular. which shocked the heck out of me.
Not reading this thread but the devs making their example character a black woman without any of the special fantasy shit they chastized fans for not using really was a complete vindication for chuds. All the customization options and they actually really did just want to make black people
The most generic dude possible is actually a han chinese male.
BG3 has absolute dogshit reputation among people who actually play RPGs and know their shit. Only praise comes from journos and influencers, both paid shills. And kids unable to see BG3's bullshit because they lack experience.
They know people don't like it, that is why they get so salty if you say you didn't like the game. They have no recourse but to seethe at you.
>absolute dogshit reputation among people who actually play RPGs
what kind of a statement is this? you know that playing a certain genre doesn't put you in some kind of elite intelligence caste, right? it just means you had $30-$60 or a torrent client.
>i think a know a little more than the average gamer, heh heh - i'm a Roleplayer
all you did was consume a product moron keep seething
>what kind of a statement is this?
People that actually play rpgs think bg3 is shitty. There's a reason it gets called TORtanic 2.0
you must be over 18 to post on this site
I know. It's fine if you don't have any real rebuttal I don't expect you to.
I accept your concession.
>I accept your concession.
>jakposting
You lose.
>You lose.
Never met a BG3 defender who wasn't as stupid as this guy. All idiots.
>All idiots.
Or acting in such blatant bad faith it becomes laughable. It's like they all read rules for radicals.
Seething morons
>make sequel to bladur's gate
>has nothing to do with baldur's gate outside of an unfinished theme park at the end of the game
>it's actually just a terrible 5e campaign for gays and women
yikes
how's it feel knowing you got the game you deserved?
I didn't even play it, I knew it was going to be this way day 1 instinctually
They went out of their way to turn Balduran into a mindflayer.
It's a different but same style of shitting on what you should be revering. Might as well make him raise someone else's kid like Kratos or Joel.
where's the gnolls and xvarts? why is half the population of nearly 100% human settlements now tieflings, the other half being one dimensional gnomes/halflings? oh it's all 5e trash that nobody that played the original games care about
nothing in Bg3 is about the original games down to even the enemies
>why is half the population of nearly 100% human settlements now tieflings
refuge crisis explained within the first 20 minutes of the game and even then outside of the city outskirts 90% of the actual city you see in game is humans
>where's the gnoll
act 1
>you have to revere these old characters because you just have to okay
Who are you quoting?
>uh ackthually it's all troony headcanon
yeah that's what I was alluding to
that doesn't make any contextual season to what was in my post or in the post i was replying to. first two games are as much troony headcanon as the third
>I'm such a braindead spammer I don't even know how to respond to people responding to me because I lost the context of what I was talking about
sucks to be you Black person
>refugee crisis
>kill your heroes mentality

old good
new bad
his post was just crying about trannies. how is that relevant lol
>refuge crisis
Is that reference to IRL refuge crisis?
yes
>OP intentionally changes the MD5 to try and pretend like this isn't the thousandth time this thread was made
I can imagine the person who wrote that in my mind. No, they are not handsome. No, they are not fit. No, they do not have good hygiene.
pretty sure the last time larian mentioned player demographics most players went knife ears
Nah, half-elves were behind humans still. If you DnD you know half-elves are humans with a better statline for power gaming.
Internet will have it.
I mean, of course if you get the average out of all created characters, it's gonna be a generic character.
Also I bet most people self inserted into this game so they could imagine themselves getting fricked by the bear.
>White
>Male
>Muscular
>Brown hair
>Blue eyes
>2 handed battlemaster fighter
I can now play. Journos stay angry 24/7
will there ever be a game where you can use the game's character creator to create people other than your main character without mods?
in that case I would make my party of companions a whole diverse cast of characters, it's just my main character that will remain an aryan blank slate
Black dude here. Older black dude. I grew up on shows like stargate. Can quote certain episodes word for word because I love it so much. I enjoy playing characters who look like Jack O'Niell, John Shepard, Daniel Jackson, Elizabeth Weir. I had no issues with way things were in the before times. All of sudden these developers and creators are making it sound like I was in the wrong for loving and imitating these awesome characters. Making it sound like wanting to play as them was some kind of evil. I am seriously fricking sick of it. Just give the fans (me) what I want and stop with this constant race baiting shit! For real, just fhck off!
NTA but I'm happy for Christopher Judge's success even if I don't play the new GOW, solely because of SG1.
Same here dude, all the way. I'm not a big fan of the action genre. But I love seeing the people I idolized being successful, and I hate all this mud slinging.
based, I'm a chink that grew up on old clint eastwood movies so I feel the same way.
Clint is a real one, anon, you couldn't have picked a better actor to watch and admire. I hope you like his westerns. The Dirty Harry archetype wasn't his only character. Love that dude.
you’re one of the good ones
You weren't wrong, anon. They just don't have the talent and passion to make compelling characters, so they fall back on representation. I guess no one told them that appealing to everyone is the same as appealing to no one.
It's so frick frustrating to explain this shit to people, anon. And I don't think very many people understand the lore implications of any given archaic fictional idea. Understanding context, and giving context in any given scenario lends to the believability of universe. I would prefer that budding writers make stories with context that match commonality. Do not care about diversity.
of course these troons don't care about lore
rent free
I liked it. Will play again with my friends.
Oh look, he found the thread. Kek. Do you do it for free?
He can still be an interesting character. Like how Gale is a generic white guy. but he's also the most picked ally based on the stats. Characters are interesting based how they are written not how they look.
More times than not when ~~*they*~~ want a diverse look ~~*they*~~ fall to write a good character beforehand. All poorly written content will look like pandering at the end.
This image makes BG3gays seethe because they know 100% within their hearts that this comment would not be made if a minority human was the most created character
lol, imagine if larian spoofed it and said it was a nog with a fro
Ganker will complain for years about devs not including enough non-human options for player characters or how the masses just picks generic warrior/soldier instead of the more interesting classes. Then a dev echoes these sentiments, and instead all you hear is about nu-/v/'s persecution fetish
this would make sense if larian put any effort into any of the races but tiefling and elves, you know, gayhomosexual fetishes
The devs didn’t mention race at all. They complained half-seriously that everyone made the vault dweller and said they gave you horns and tails. If you thought this was shitting on white people well you have a persecution complex that needs to get checked
>The devs didn't mention race at all
You are actually stupid.
They literally didn’t though, they just said everyone made the vault dweller. They don’t mention anything about white people once.
Take this
anon's advice and stop being a bad faith actor shill. Your willful ignorance is incredibly obnoxious and nobody is falling for it.
>Hey we gave all these non-human options but everyone just made a generic human
>Yep this is shitting on white people
How does this support your point at all? If anything it supports my argument
So do you think they're making this comment if the most created character was a human minority?
If they were a generic character yes
Yeah they wouldn't because they know they'd get backlash. Nice try though.
Quote a single line from the developers where they mention white people
The attached image on their upload is of a white man.
see
It is in english you might have to get someone with higher clearance to translate it into mandarin.
What are you talking about?
They didn't have to. You and I both know they aren't making that comment if it was anything other than a white male human. I won't take the away the comfort of knowing that the devs of a game you like are actively mocking the audience like you.
Yes, because that’s what the Vault Dweller looks like. If it was a white guy covered in tattoos or something they probably wouldn’t say anything
It just shows they think in terms of their rivalries. Larian sees Bethesda as competition. That's why they try making it a flamewar between the 2 nowadays.
Nice projection
>that's what the Vault Dweller
Wow, that's really funny because as it stood Fallout 4 had a custom character creator several years before the comment was made. Vault Dweller is code for "White Male Human" because they don't want to outright alienate the majority of their audience, you can keep being delusional though. I'm sure you thought the Barbie movie wasn't mocking men either.
Vault Dweller is also the character from the intentional 1950s pastiche of america where white men were the norm.
It's all deliberate, and the reader could pick up on it easily.
This was the beginning of people walking away from larian due to the agitprop.
It clearly isn’t, if it was a white guy with dreads, really long hair, scars, tattoos, israeliteelry, etc then they wouldn’t say this
They put in a lot of customization options, the most common character doesn’t use any of them. They made a standard guy with short hair that you see everywhere. That’s the vault dweller
>if the most popular character was a white guy with a dozen of unique features in this vast character creator they wouldn't have minded
What a concise and plausible example, continue to gaslight about devs like
not being white guilt morons. The default character was a black woman by the way, totally didn't factor into them b***hing about players actually going in and changing their character to a white male though.
The image they use is a white man.
Open up those little slit eyes bing ching
Because that was the most common character created
It sure was :^)
The image has a white person as the example. Image is by Larian.
They mention a ton of non-human traits and lambast the player for not choosing them.
Stop being a bad faith actor shill.
That supports my point, they said everyone made a generic character despite giving everyone horns and tails.
>bro why didn't you choose the two races that have tails and horns???
>bro why doesn't your human have glowing fire eyes??
lol, in reality the character creation is just lame and people probably didn't put to much thought into it, yeah it's generic because there's only like 1 or 2 faces that look good and almost all the haircuts clip on the most basic of shit
it's a "I want to roleplay as my sex fetish" simulator. They put all their effort into tieflings and elves and put in trannies
and its pretty much only the white preset faces that actually look attractive. i've gone through almost every race and face during character creation too.
i was one of the gays who made a halfling
>copy pasted dwarves from dos 2
yawn
I feel so bad for these wumaos. Did you know they literally execute them for not shilling well?
What are you talking about?
He said he feels bad for the wumaos. They get executed for bad shilling.

White people’s racial consciousness is coming back and we’re moving into siege mentality after about 70 years of sleep. Must be sad for a lot of the rats itt
or you know, don't try and pass off your gay sexual fetish simulator as an rpg
What does that have to do with BG3
bg3 is a gay sexual fetish simulator, that's why they only put effort into elves and tieflings
Wrong.
>most generic dude ever
People are so delusional, you know the people that wrote this either expected this dude as the bare minimum or are a dude and when they look in the mirror they don't see the ugly nerd they are, but this chiseled Chad instead. I fricking swear the average adult is now operating on levels of such utter delusion they could arguably qualify for permanent incarceration.
They are just complaining. Which was a bad idea given the response to it but they can do what they want.
It's funny to me because people like this pretend to be worldly and experienced but then out themselves as being typical city trash when they admit they live in a majority white area and work a majority white job because now white men are the norm.
Generic in Somalia would be a bunch of toeheaded skinny homies, generic in Italy would be a bunch of olive skinned badaboopi homies.

>this absolute fricking nuclear seethe because he plays a game by devs that openly mock him and then have him spend 20 minutes trying to defend them
Who are you quoting
Cope.
This always reminds me of that POC dating sim where every character was a shade of black or brown, mixed ethnicities like korean/uganda or some shit and all of them were fat.
Then the last character was a straight male Italian goth rich kid, and he was by far the most popular character to the point that the devs told people they weren't supposed to like him but they can't remove him because he was a kickstarter goal.
gays are moronic, more news at 11

Welcome to the average BG3 thread
I took it to protect myself against covid
Are you an 80 year old obese person with dementia and several other health issues (atleast 4), because that's who covid affected the most by the numbers. When the first NYC numbers came in, and you could see who covid was really negatively effecting, it was pretty clear that if you're relatively young with little to no health issues, covid was pretty much a flu. I got it twice now, not vaccinated, and I've had worse flu's. I wish people would have just simply looked at the numbers instead of thinking covid was genuinely dangerous for them.
I am 30.
I haven't had a fever since I was like 16.
170 lbs, lifetime athletic
i caught it and ran a 104 fever for four days and couldn't eat the whole time
genuinely frightening experience, when i finally could eat it was like something i never experience where i literally couldn't stop shovelling food in my mouth to save my life
experiencd "long covid" but it lasted as long as a week and a half and i think that's because i started exercising again as soon as i could
still won't take the vaccine
>be black
>try to make a black character
>there are like 2 or 3 hair options
>no matter how much I try to change things, it always end up looking like a gay homie.
Generic white dudes are the only ones who look decent in this game.
It's gaming time

I wanted to make a big tiddy orc mommy but the character creation is garbage. White male it is then
>spend 10,000 hours modelling troony wieners
>breasts? women don't have those
If I ever play this game I want my character to look exactly like that. Not out of spite, he's just a handsome looking dude. Maybe put a beard on him.
BG3 flopped
Larian Lost
Woke Lost
Get fricked!
Cope.

>you're free to disprove it everytime you want
Half of the posts in this thread whining about the game flat out admit they haven't played it Ganker is so b***h made lol
You don't need to play to have a opinion of a game like BG3 you can always watch a Let's play streamer to get the gits of it
>Getting your opinions from streams instead of actually playing the game and still thinking your opinions matter
See what I mean? You're b***h made
