Let me guess, all of these are new additions to the fluff?
Non-status-quo expressions/fantasies of sexuality are not a recent invention.

The way the new rpgs keep throwing romance at you its gonna be a fucking achievement to reach the game end with a virgin character.

If you read into the Forgotten Realms lore, most of the various societies would be sexual degenerates by our standards. For example:
- incest between family members is treated as something natural,
- brothels are treated as little more than specialised massage parlours,
- female drow use magic to grow futa cocks (no, this is not a joke),
- male priests of Eilistraee have to spend a month each year transformed into women - with emphasis put on the HAVE to,
- most towns practise "revelries" - in other words, massive festivals/orgies,

I know the piss wizard magical isn't something new, I think my statement was badly written, its more related to PC games. Dunno if I was too young and naive to understand back in the days if the game was like LOOK SON THIS CHICK/DUDE WANTS TO BANG YOU or if its an actual thing that romance became a fucking minesweeper game where you have 100% focus to not end up in bed.
Or could be neither and I'm just autistic.

I'm going to write to both Larian Studios and Wizards of the Coast - again - and ask them about the canon status of A Murder in Baldur's Gate. Whilst Descent into Avernus; Infernal Tides and Baldur's Gate III seem to be strictly connected, A Murder in Baldur's Gate is like a broken tooth - doesn't really fit the picture. Especially with killing off the "last Bhaalspawn".

The baby owlbear is proof of it.

The Warpig Challenge is the most prestigious one indeed.

They are status-quo now, get with the times you old faggot. Pure American imperialism.

No, it's a new thing, and ironically enough it all more or less started with Baldur's Gate 2.

No, most of these have been set up by Ed Greenwood, the creator of the setting. I hate "grognards" who believe that "old-school" RPGs were bastions of a-political conservatism.
LoL and people were mocking Christians for calling out those satanists.

I wonder just how many people will go the Evil route just to have their Psycho Girlfriend and Nymphomaniac Succubus threesome?
Very few,like 20% at best.

I haven't noticed drunken orgies in the streets, casually going to the brothel every other day, and futa cocks everywhere. Am I the weird one?

Lich was second only to Angel in chosen mythics, according to Owlcat alpha infographics. This being the only real RPG in existence which will allow the player to become a lich, I think evil routes will be very popular.

Hmmm,it is possible,but i doubt it. People generally like to play good people and on top of it,writers are shit at making fun evil path. We will see when it comes out.

PS: LoL i will bang my succubus with Divine Legend playtrough!

:? Is this a head larp?

Can I get an official source? Also didn't RA Salvatore establish the whole dominatrix / demon rape lesbian society stuff?
Greenwood was in charge of his self-insert wizard character that roams the realms fucking everything.

M&M VII/VIII disagrees with you.

And if we consider mods, there are tons of games which allow lichdoom.

I prefer vampirism over lichdoom. HOWEVER, between a game where you can reanimate bosses to serve you, cast deadly tier 9 spells and so on is much more interesting IMO than a game which you can at end game, cast a ultra nerfed 5e cloudkill - low damage concentration required spell. If I an playing a post apocalyptic RPG like FNV, I wanna use powerful firearms. I wanna use a anti materiel rifle with explosive .50 bmg rounds to snipe armored robots at 200m+. If I an playing a high fantasy RPG, I wanna use powerful supernatural abilities. That is simple.

He said real RPG.


Bloobers are more RPG than 99,9% of mmorpg's.

If blobbers aren't RPG's, most of 80s/90s dungeon crawlers aren't too
