For this type of perversion, nothing beats FATAL Fantasy Adventure To Adult Lechery"

If you disagree, roll for maximum anal circumference!!!

Character stats matter. If you haven't got the CON to last long enough to please Shadowheart or whatever her name is, then surely your relationship is doomed unless you invest in it. Games have mechanics for a reason.

This I agree. Like in VtMB. A Hooker can :

• Outright REFUSE and screen if your PC is a Nosferatu aka deformed monstrosity
• Accept if low seduction normal character
• Give a bit of discount if moderate seduction
• Give a lot of discount with high seduction
• Do for free if you have high domination skills or extremely high seduction

There are also a quest in a graveyard where you can either protect it from undead while the guard goes to city for a hooker or you can bring a hooker to him. If you chose the second, you need persuasion and seduction or domination discipline to convince her to go to the graveyard.

I don't know anything about this game except for what the companions look like and that's enough to make me not want it.

I hope BG3 will set new standard for all mordern rpgs to follow.

Too bad it's just doing what Bioware does in a different engine.

It's not. I haven't seen any Bioware games that had dialog rolls for NPCs, or mid-cutscene rolls.

If it's doing what Bioware did, it's doing it a lot better.

That's right. The skill checks are more of an obsidian thing though there were some in NWN/KOTOR. In NWN they weren't as significant while it was an I-win button in KOTOR if you had high enough persuasion skill. However, the cutscene centered gameplay and cringe romances are 100% bioware.

 

[S.torch]

First of all - calling people puritanical when some idiot makes a thread (which is practically about pedophilia) is retarded.

Secondly - we aren't talking about "a bit of skin". We're talking about straight-up sex. Depicted way more realistically than "having dozens of way to kill people", because this is no Soldier of Fortune, Manhunt or Hatred where you had way more explicit gore or death scenes. In Baldur's Gate 3 people (and I use that term loosely) just fall to the ground and that's it. No hardcore scenes of killing/dying, so what the fuck are you on about with "playing a killing machine and having dozens of ways to kill people"? Going by this logic strategy games are much worse, because the digital death toll is way more staggering there? Seriously, WTF?

You guys are cherrypicking that crazy dude on the forum to be right, when before that guy even came up there were already complaining about the scenes.
Nobody cares about that guy, he is out of his mind.

And is (sadly) true that games already don't feature that type of violence. Anyways, you still go around killing people with all the tools and abilities you have for that. Don't act innocent because is still that.

At this point, I don't know how to put it in understandable terms. It's not "too much", seeing some bobs and vegana doesn't traumatize me.

It's just that, when I fire up Baldur's Gate, I want to play Baldur's Gate, and this:

It's funny how this conversation has evolved:

+ B-but people don't like romance!
- But all the top games, or almost all the top games in the Codex and other sites are games that include romance.
+ W-well, but people don't like erotic scenes!
- But they are one of the most demanded contents by players, and they are also included in games that are very popular.
+ B-but what about this crazy guy on this forum talking nonsense?
- Nobody cares about that guy, he just seems to be out of his mind.
+ B-but those scenes are not befitting of a serious game like Baldurgh!!!! <- We're at this point.

Okay look, like I mentioned before, this series already had romance in it. These type of scenes are not a strange addition to it. The original developer of this was Bioware, which already put that type of content to games they started to make later. If anything they're just following what they predecessor was doing in this aspect.

Lastly, I don't know how people can act so bothered by this content which you can perfectly ignore, but don't say anything when not so long ago they included muh SALAMEEEES!!! like le epic dual welding weapons and other crazy mumbo-jumbo that are going in the game whether you like it or not.

 

[Sunri]

This entire thread needs to be burned to the ground and started anew

Don't worry, we will get another chance when Baldur's Gate 4 gets announced.

So you're saying you're okay with playing a killing machine and having dozens of ways to kill people but suddenly a bit of skin is too much? Seems a bit incoherent.

At this point, I don't know how to put it in understandable terms. It's not "too much", seeing some bobs and vegana doesn't traumatize me.

It's just that, when I fire up Baldur's Gate, I want to play Baldur's Gate, and this:

well, this doesn't scream BALDUR'S GATE to me.

I would be equally upset if I went to click on my favorite porn video and, instead of Dani Daniels and Remy LaCroix having sex, a fucking character creation screen popped up in my browser.

Yep, look at The Witcher 3. A extremely popular game that has some very explicit scenes too.

If this shit gets added to games I don't care about, well, I just don't care about it. For all I care, The Witcher 4 can have lootboxes and an in-game OnlyFans for cosplayers in furry costumes. Not to mention that sexcards are one of the best and most famous aspects of The Witcher, so it makes sense for its sequel to play around sexual themes. In my apparently puritanical opinion, TW3 should have had more explicit scenes, since Geralt being a sex machine is 33% of his character.

They should re remaster BG II and add those sex animations imagine Viconia or Aerie birth scene

 

[Tyranicon]

Now thinking about this why nobody made a cRPG with a focus on sex? Shit I better start fetching a kickstarter campaign.

Don't rush me.

This is a logical fallacy called "False equivalence". You could argue that game shouldn't have violence and sex, but you can't argue that since games have violence they should also have sex (or vice-versa). Technically they can, but it is up to you to make that happen, instead of complaining about how people dislike sex in games while not minding violence.

What's worse, you generalize that ALL people here are puritan, but that's yet another logical error. First of all - the Codex is no hivemind. Some people will be puritan, some will be not. Secondly - there is a difference between not wanting sex in games, because you're against having sex on principle and being against sex, because it accomplishes nothing and takes resources away from, well, making the actual game happen when you could watch a porn video if you're interested in watching the actual porn. But, hey, let's put everyone in the same bag for eristic purposes, right?

 

[Hassar]

imagine you'll have to roll the dice to not cum too early
or some d20 roll to put it in the ass
using shadowhearts guidance to creampie some drow whore, she actually holds you from behind and whisper dirty things
i will now buy your game

A lot of Constitution, Charisma, and Wisdom checks.

 

[Cryomancer]

My greatest problem with romance and fan service is that is often dissociated from the rest gameplay.

There are exceptions, in VtMB the half naked hookers serve to reinforce the "night commiefornia" vibes and immersion. And what you do with Heather poe, your blood doll affects a part of a main quest. In Mount & Blade, romancing a woman affects your relationship with her family, gives right to rule and so on. Would be cool if romancing an elf companion would lead to a quest and change how you interact with elves NPCs or enemies uses your romanced companion as hostage against you. That would improve romance way more than motion captured sex scenes.

I would unironically prefer it if they actually did do something like this. If you're going to put sex in your RPG, do it properly, not just a fucking cutscene. Character stats matter. If you haven't got the CON to last long enough to please Shadowheart or whatever her name is, then surely your relationship is doomed unless you invest in it. Games have mechanics for a reason.

While I don't actually want this in my games, it would be great if the Biowhores developed some of this for their love life simulators, if only to see the screeching of landwhales about bringing in story mode settings so they don't fail at sex in their fantasies as well as their real lives.

 

[AwesomeButton]

I'm fine with porn, I'm fine with dick pics exchanges in the shoutbox, I'm fine with every possible aspect of sexuality. But, yeah, I would prefer my RPGs to continue not having multiplayer orgies simulators for as long as possible.

Hang on now. Apparently I'm not up to date with the latest news. I've seen "multiplayer" sex scenes used a couple of times. Starting to sound like wives and girlfriends should be confined to single player campaigns only and definitely no coop

Then skip the cutscene. How many more pages are you going to go on about this?

For someone who doesn't want to see these scenes, you sure seem to look up a lot of pics related to them, and spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about them in general.

Make the sex scenes as clinical and boring as possible. Completely turn based, with a list of actions to choose from and played put entirely from the standard isometric camera perspective. Give it the same depth as the battle system, I want to see threads where combatfags start sperging about the most efficient fuck builds, without compromising battle efficiency.

If you made them turn-based, you could even have them ask permissions at each stage of the love-combat.

Yeah, that's pretty weird if true, but:

There are factions in the game you may side with, or revolt against. Your party will have opinions about that, and in multiplayer – once Origin Avatars have joined Early Access (not day one) – the systems will technically allow you to have intimate moments with your friends.

This one sentence is a lot to base "multiplayer orgies" on.

As far as I can tell, this one games website are the only ones who interpreted this like that. So congratulations on feeding them clicks.

At best, it sounds like they're talking about the origins and romances. If you're in a multiplayer game and playing everyone's favorite effeminate elf vampire, and your multiplayer companions talk to him and romance him, they can participate in the romance as normal. Kind of weird, I guess, but it doesn't sound like they're taking some extra step to add a multiplayer romance/sex mechanic. Sounds more like it's a side effect of the origins mechanic.

I think this discussion is going nowhere.
Complaining about romance here is the opposite of being consistent. You're in a series that already have those, so is not strange at all that these things are in a sequel too. Is very simple.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

It's been 500 pages of this. Consistence may not be their strong suit, but persistence clearly is.

 

[FriendlyMerchant]

Romance was only a thing in BG2. Though you could easily ignore it there and it was just a little bit of dialogue boxes per romance character. In this game, everyone essential propositions you like the gay as fuck race reveal for that vampire faggot (I think I'm being redundant here) and everyone being sexually aggressive towards you regardless of your character's sex except maybe the half-elf. Then there's all the pointless porn their putting into the game and the related cutscenes all with incredibly awkward animations and existing for no reason other than to emulate Dragon Age.

In Pillars 2 it was hilariously done. After a certain time spent, and if you were nice to your companions they all want to jump your magic rod at the same time. I remember I did something on the ship, and then I got interrupt after interrupt with dialogue from the companions asking me if I wanted to bone them. It's like they all suddenly lined up below deck to ask.

Did you bone those creatures?
