Baldur's Gate #BaldurGate: Siege of Dragonspear

:D :D :D

I am paying the price for something my good reincarnation did, right?

Deionarra will tell you she was a tranny all along, that is why she got you drunk all nights you were together.

I'm starting a new game and I was wondering if I should make my character multi-gender or dual-gender. Any thoughts?

Multi-gender is always better IMO. I mean, sure you don't have as many cool abilities in the first part of the game. However, eventually you'll level high enough where you can do all kinds of cool stuff, since the experience cap is much higher.

Dual-gender, while sounding edgy, is just another way of saying your genitalia is not quite one way or another. Yes, it's interesting at first due to its abnormality, but, like I mentioned above, it's experience cap is much lower. I mean with multi-gender you can go full trans, hermaphrodite, gay, bi-sexual, lesbian, MTW, WTM, and the coolest is M to Dragon or W to Dragon. Dragon to W or Dragon to M is available, but they're only unlockable through certain races (haflings I tihnk?). So it might not be worth it to just play a race in order to hopefully get that cool Dragon to M transformation you've always wanted. But YMMV.

Is it literally just a right-think tick box?

Yes.

Even better.. There's a "bug" that can make minsc spout it every other click..

 

[Sizzle]

Man, aGG really needs to get a better meme. That shit is weak.

Does the tranny actually... uhh... do anything? Joinable companion/quest? Is it literally just a right-think tick box?

S/he's a cleric (of Tempus) merchant who's stationed in the war camp that's marching against the forces of Caelar Argent, so s/he follows you as you make progress against their forces and push them back.

Apart from that, I haven't seen any other material for Mizhena, but, like I said, I haven't finished the game, so I could be wrong. Though I don't think so, plenty of people have finished it already, and no one anywhere reported anything more to do with xir.

 

[Naraya]

I shudder at the thought that people are paying 100$+ for CE of this shit.

What can change the nature of a man? Gender reassignment surgery.

 

[Jezal_k23]

Uhhh, so... had to go all the way to page 20 of the steam top sellers to find this. Is it bombing that hard? Did the controvery really fuck up the sales so hard? Damn.

Edit: oh nvm, that's my region alone. Globally I found it in the 4th page. Pretty awful regardless.

 

[NotAGolfer]

even went so far as giving Minc lines about GamerGate

Please someone provide screenshots of this.

My Gamergate lore isn't up to snuff so please enlighten me, how is that related to it?
It's still retarded even if it isn't though, Minsc saying "ethics" is out of character, he's more like "Evil, meet my sword! Sword, meet evil!" type. And the voice actor sucks big time, that's not Minsc, that's some faggit with a stick up his arse.

 

[raesha]

So to sum up, because 80 pages in like 3 days are hard to follow, people were triggered by transexual themes or stuff in the expansion and thus it's getting trashed?
Or is it also bad as a game?

Id say it is quite flawed as a game too.

I haven't seen all of the first chapter of the DLC yet, but my impression so far is that both the vocabulary and grammar in use reads like a fanfiction, rather than the work of a professional fantasy author. I have a hard time taking a lot of it seriously so far, but will see how it pans out.

It's the same voice actor.

 

[HatTrick]

I always hated Minsc and I am glad that they added this line to trigger his fanboys even though I loathe every side of the idpol-ridden GG trainwreck. His character appeals to randumb idiots.

Also, lmao, even Ed Greenwood thinks the people getting mad about the trans cleric are retarded. How the fuck are people still debating this horseshite?

 

[Maggot]

That just sounds like regular Baldur's Gate writing though.

Count yourself lucky.

Really? What a shame, he still sucks in this one.

Amber Scott: Working to ensure that the new Planescape will suck as bad as the original!

Briefly put when GG ruffled more than a couple of feathers by exposing corrupt gaming jurnos' dirty laundry and the anti-GG crowd still tried to make it out to be some hate campaign against vaginas in gaming they came up with the "It's actually about ethics in gaming journalism" catchphrase or something like that to make fun of either the idea of people actually caring about gaming journalism or the notion that people might not using the GG hashtag to "harass womyn out of gaming".

3.3 million dollar man Mr. Shitface (Tim Schafer) used it once I think and he got some shit for it. If you care about the video games industry and don't want to see it co-opted by a clique from SanFran it's basically a gigantic outstretched middle finger.

The first implies the second anyway.
Moot question.

 

[DramaticPopcorn]

Eh, trannies is not something that far fetched within FR lore (even less so as far as Planescape goes), what I hate the most is the show they put glorifying and parading that shit

Patriarchyscape.

It's weird people are going "GG just wants good gaming journalism" when every fag I see going along with it is as much of an insane agenda-pushing degenerate as a Kotaku writer.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

I've just met the Shining Lady, some very good writing and opportunities to roleplay. Criticism of the game, and Amber Scott, for the writing is pretty dumb. What I've seen so far is better than BioWare's latest two offerings (Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age: Inquisition). You might say that is a low bar, but those games had large teams of writers and the stories, and character motivations, weren't much to shake a stick at.

David Gaider has a point when he says people are making too much over one random NPC who really doesn't do anything.

I'm sure they are.

Mass Effect 3 and Inquisition has some of the worst writing in gaming. Might as well say it's on the level of Google translated Japanese hentai games.

GG is a hashtag on twitter, it's not really a very clearly defined group of people. At least some people in the movement cares about journalism , deepfreeze.it proves that. Some elements of GG are merely opportunists taking advantage of the storm though and some are members of politically maligned groups but that doesn't define GG as it isn't a centralized movement. Anyone that got a bone to pick with authoritarian goofballs in gaming are free to join in.
