I can't believe child porn was posted in BG3 forum with a wall of text that reminds me of the Tali sweat copypasta lol. That still does not make WoTR any better, I do not even consider it a game, but a mental illness simulator and a stepping stone towards mind washing yourself into a tranny.
WoTR poses less of a threat to younger people who aren't very imaginative and are too lazy to read walls of text. When the agenda is constrained inside a text box it has less chance of causing harm unlike the scenes of motion captured lizard woman sex and Player Character cuckolding by a negro in BG 3.
"heterosexual sex between a man and a woman is bad!!!!! my tranny simulator is good!!!!"
cope
Will be hilarious when BG 3 releases and you find out Wyll cuckolds you with Shadowheart as well.

I'm just not impressed Swen decided to create the first RPG to feature Player Character Cuckolding.

If Gale doesn't work out, there's an iconic, fabulous vampire who might take you in...

Well. After taking a break. I have to say. That developer's statement from the last page is the most irresponsible thing I've read. Holy crap. I mean just this:
Besides, gaming companies should not assume that their audience are criminals - in fact, doing so would be quite offensive.
There's no way an adult can be this dense and naive. No way. You'd think someone over there would draw a line and say: "Hey guyz, our game is making billionz. Let's not risk it by getting into legal trouble due to promoting weird shit like child pornography". "Great Idea Steve. Fire the retard that spent hours animating this abhorrent shit".

I don't think that statement is from the dev's - it's just a random guy on the forum saying that.

It's a stupid hill to die on though. Those scenes really add nothing to the game IMO and those images are nightmare fuel.

I would like to remind everyone of the fact that forums poster "Rusty_shackleford" not only paid for and played Fallout 76,he actively endorsed doing so.

I leave it to the reader to draw their own conclusions as to what this means in the context of his continued support of Larian and BG3.

While I trust the based Swen, I am a bit scared of all the Dragon Age fangirls that seem to be flocking to BG3 like a flock of ravenous vultures, who picked clean one series and shat all over it, and have now moved on to another. You know, the fangirls that Astarion seems to have been specifically made for. Just look at this.

"increase the impact of a success or failure" =/= make a failure into a success or a success into a failure
if I roll a 1 but still succeed with my modifiers, that's still a success even applying this optional rule and the same holds for rolling a 20 but a success being impossible with my modifiers
usually this "increased impact" is just a flashier success or more dramatic failure
"Increase the impact of a success or failure" -> You not only not succeed, something bad also happens when you roll a 1. Because it is not just a failure: it's a CRITICAL failure (as it literally says on the tin: "Critical Success or Failure". And, yes, a critical failure is still a failure, not a "success after applying modifiers".

"increase the impact of a success or failure"
what's optionally changed isn't whether the roll succeeds or not, it's how significant the success/failure is

when a success occurs on a natural 20, the DM can opt to add some further benefit on top of what the success would regularly yield
in the DMG's example, a 20 is rolled specifically on a *successful* investigation roll, so the DM can choose to increase the rewards
if a barbarian with no bonuses to investigation had rolled a 20 against a DC 25 investigation check, that wouldn't have been a successful roll

when a failure occurs on a natural 1, the DM can opt to add some further damage beyond the consequences of failure
in the DMG's example, a 1 is rolled on a *failed* attempt to unlock a door and the DM chooses to increase the penalty
if a rogue with +15 bonus to thieves tools checks had rolled a 1 against a DC 15 check, that wouldn't have been a failed attempt

without using the optional rule, nat 1s and 20s on skill checks don't impact anything at all, it's just a regular success or failure
using the optional rule, you can turn that regular success a critical success or regular failure into a critical failure

so make up your mind, is autofail on critical miss based on page 242 of 5th edition dmg or is larian falling back to earlier editions?
?
The optional rule let's them choose what to do, and they chose to go with how it used to be done.

that was not how it was done in previous editions either
at least since 3rd edition, 1s and 20s only mattered on attack rolls
that's also how it works in pathfinder 1e

and previous CRPGs were compliant with it too
in NWN and ToEE, the engine actually lets you take 20 on open door and disarm traps rolls because the assumption is you could've kept retrying until you got a high enough roll if a success is possible, so you just fail if a success is impossible or succeed if it's possible

kingmaker and wotr also implement it correctly with some checks being just impossible or unfailable with high/low enough modifiers

of course the official stance from wizards is always going to be "whatever works at your table" because that's just expected nowadays, but their intentions don't even matter because what we're talking about are the rules as written
RAW, it isn't legal to autopass on a nat 20 ability check and there's a good reason for that
a 7 INT barbarian succeeding on a difficult 20+ DC arcana check is just stupid and impossible for DMs to rationalize
similarly, autofailing on a check you should've succeeded is just frustrating

Was a done deal as soon as that cinematic camera went in buddy. Gotta keep the camera pulled far back so things at least look old school to keep that audience away. Sad thing is that is exactly what they do, then they'll move onto the next thing and ruin that too.

I don't recognize wotc D&D as actually being D&D so uh... I don't really care.

For AD&D, they were called non-weapon proficiencies, and a natural 20 was an automatic failure. Supplemental material for 1e, DMG in 2e.
