Bruh, NTR is the most popular fetish currently. People crave a good cucking. Plus, it's BG, it has to have it.

Since I am a porn dev, here is finally some perspective that I'm uniquely able to give.

NTR has a giant hatedom and fandom, and they are both notoriously insane.

As a dev, you don't want to dip a single toe in these waters.

How could an NTR "hatedom" be insane? Isn't that just called being normal?

Some insane people count all womens sexual encounters with anyone but you as NTR. Not even close relatives are allowed to have sex with anyone but them, so yeah, there are insane people there.

Just found out Shadowheart's VA is lesbian. Hope this ruins her for the most retarded pieces of shit among you

"I can fix her."

 

[Fedora Master]

Also, I kind of need a rogue char in the party to unlock shit.. eh but i hate rogues.

I think Shadowcute can substitute for the ghey elf to some extend. She has the Sleight of Hand proficiency.

Rogues are essentially no longer required for stuff like opening locks and disabling traps in 5E.

 

[Steezus]

we get it junmarko, ur edgy.

anyway, how many of you are planning to coop bg3?

I find cRPGs in coop to be an absolute slog. Granted, I only tried it with both DOS 1 and 2, which I don't particularly like, but still. I want to play on my own time.

No alignments. No need for Thieves. What else have they watered down?

Yep. Also, "just respecc'em, bro!"

No gods, because Clerics just get Domains.
Dunno about spell reagents, probably done away with since 4E

Never, ever do this. Faggots will insist on playing in coop with you, nolife on the first and maybe second day and then somehow never have time to play. I know better now and just tell them to fuck off.

To be fair, I was the one usually ghosting my friends lmao

Don't play with faggots then?

 

[Terenty]

I don't get it why do they feel the need to hire all kinds of deviants and mentally ill people to voice act their characters?

Is there some kind of a mandate from higher ups to fill some kind of a quota to get funding?

Like this Vinegar Strokes?? Wtf is this? How did they even know such a creature exists?

 

[whydoibother]

Larian is making the most ANTI WOKE game ever.

You said before the game allows you to pick pronouns. So does this mean the end game villain will refer to you as preferred pronouns?

The pronouns are there for marketing reasons.

There's True Believers in most development teams, especially the linguistic element of the trans movement are very well accepted by visual artists. So even if the CEO agreed to have them for marketing, the people who proposed them were sincere.

Edit: Or Wizards of the Coast pushed it, in which case this sincerity vs marketing debate is just relocated in their studio, and Larian inherits it.

Well... it's being co-funded by Wizards of the Coast who also own the D&D license.

Played DOS1/2 with an IRL friend, so if we stop we literally meet face to face and agree to continue. Can't just mute the other guy this way.

Even the very idea of playing this creepy twisted shit is haram for a sane person. You may forge the mithrill two-hander and call it “The Fagslayer” during your playthrough and still you will be the part of the swarm helping filth to spread.

Ah yes, the Vatnik Owlcat defense. "EVIL CAPITALIST PIGDOGS FORCED POOR BASED RUSSIAN DEVS TO ADD POZZ!!!"

Indeed, I am innocent. WOTC forced Larian.

BUT I also made sure you could kill every degenerate who voiced the NPC's so I'm anti woke.

More like "Porsche told us not to have car deformation, because they don't want imagery of their car looking bad".
But, again, I don't know where this occurred. I'm just pushing back against the idea that its all marketing. Its not all marketing, there's sincere LGBTQWERTY in every studio, because of how popular the identity is among visual artists. And while there might be debate and backlash against the biology stuff, the linguistic stuff seems to be going mainstream. Expect more pronouns in character creators.

Based on the previous history of Larian, laying the blame with them is unlikely to be correct.
Based on the previous history of WoTC, laying the blame with them is extremely likely to be correct.

Until we see Larian's next product without WoTC, your assumption holds far less merit than the other.

A few notable CRPGs where the player-character is not the "chosen one":

• Arcanum (2001)

Well, anyone who's played know the truth but you literally has been CHOSEN by the dwarf before the game even starts and then everyone in the game start with the first NPC you meet to treat you as the one so...

Larian games are quite good when it comes to freedom of killing NPCs, right?

Just kill all NPCs that offend your codexian sensibilities. That's my plan.
