In that same dialogue you have an option to outracist the guy by pointing out that he's not a real Baldurian anyway because he's from a suburb.

So a Bojack Horseman game? That would be an apex release, a top form of whatever the beast in the west calls culture. Maybe BG3 will have to do, as it is doing the same quite well (I'm shocked at how terrible it is, I never expected anything could be this bad.).My gut thought was "they should put more of those in games instead" but then I thought about it and you'd have to listen to them drone on and "educate" you about asexuality and tell you all about their asexual backstory and they'd chime in with asexual puns/jokes/observations all the time which would be just as insufferable.It's also prejudiced against Asexuals (the "A" in "LGBTQIA+")...To "those people" every show of affection between two people MUST mean sexual tension, ESPECIALLY between the same sex. Coombrains ruined writing.That's a wide problem with modern games. I commented on it in other threads here before. The combination of romantic options and gay companions has destroyed friendship in RPGs. Which kinda sucks, I've yet to see a good romantic companion arc in a game, but friendship ones used to be great.

Yoooo, anyone remember Baldur's Gate?
That's what an ideal romance is to the kind of people who write these games. They're mentally ill and they find the idea of bonding with other mentally ill people over their mental illnesses to be romantic.Romances also push the dialog to become an endless therapy session and because every companion must have a dark secret/insecurities healed by the power of love, so on BG 3, of course, you are basically a psychologist that bang everyone of your weirdo clients.
It is like Thai massage but instead of the happy ending, you get a horny gay bear if you raise your approval rating too much.

Yes, that's exactly what I was referring to with "normal romance in the context of an adventure story".Take a look at any of the sword and sorcery or more pulp scifi serials, specifically Conan and John Carter. They're basically all romances for men.
The pulps were peak writing and more people need to realize this.

If I was a writer and I had been given the amazing job to write Minsc and Sarevok, I would have played BG1 & 2 and taken notes about how each character speaks so that the highlights of their speech were evident in my game.
As usual, it's obvious they did none of that, and each character has about as much of their original character as a they would if they were run through Google translate from the original to whatever this is. In other words - the writing style is so bad (for each character) it may as well be written in another language.
From reading the title one would think it refers to the party controls, grouping and ungrouping and so on.
Regarding modern east coast united statesian values in the game, it was inevitable. They are the biggest market on earth and it in the game maker's detriment not to include it.

compared to some mobile games bg3 has almost no contentProbably only mobile games.

Fastest I've ever killed an NPC in my lifeThey picked the most baffling fucking place to stick the Trans Positivity Did I Mention That I'm Trans Yet npc ever. NPC awkwardly voiced by PhilosophyTube. The "validate your identity" NPC is in the church of Shar. The organization that brainwashed and groomed Shadowheart, and deprived her of her identity to suit the organization's whims.
I'd almost say "based" if I didn't know any better.
Is Kevin Michael Richardson still voicing Sarevok in this one?Whenever I hear Sarevok, I can't help but think of Gothic 1, the voice actor was prominent there, as Drax and a few other characters.
"Welcome to the colony!"

No, he's voiced by Redd Pepper, the same guy who voiced Drax in Gothic 1. Since his range is limited, you can't help but think you're listening to a Gothic character.Is Kevin Michael Richardson still voicing Sarevok in this one?Whenever I hear Sarevok, I can't help but think of Gothic 1, the voice actor was prominent there, as Drax and a few other characters.

I agree.I understand not using Jaheira's VA (despite the fact she did a pretty good job back in the day) because evidently she's not a VA anymore, but not using KMR is a big ole WTF.
