Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Typical NPCs on thinking critically about any popular social issue: "I don't like to talk about politics."

 

[Grunker]

"I don't like to talk about politics."

maybe in Kwanzania

I've lived in Europe, dude. It's like this everywhere, even parts of Eastern Europe to a degree. Especially with women, but that's to be expected.

NPCs have some kind of innate instinct that lets them know not to care about or notice the issues that get them shitcanned from life for going against.

They cede the battle before they even acknowledging that there's an enemy.

Or maybe you're just an insufferable twat

I work as the lead advisor for a party leader on the far (well, far in americanized terms anyway) political left of a party in Danish parliament, I have public anti-woke views and it is literally a non-issue. In fact, I'm probably part of the majority.

The Twitter bubble and entertainment industry's cancelling are by and large American and British issues. Maybe that's why you can't help notice them everywhere

Can confirm.
However, the issue is acceptance. People here do not accept this shit so easily. The ones who do are, to no one's surprise, mostly women!

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Well, here, sure, but I do try to be polite in real life.

I tend to avoid topics that might cause NPCs to irrationally lash out, like saying that I like Baldur's Gate 3 or something.

Danes are a bit special. Try that shit in Sweden.

It's the Swedes that are special in this regard. No other European country save Britain - not even France or Germany - are remotely close to the Swedish culture in this regard.

 

[NecroLord]

What about Norway?
How are things down there?

Yeah, I can say that this isn't the norm in most Western countries.

But the shitcanned thing is only really referring to America and anything further left - Germany, France, England, etc.

No, I've personally seen it with others as well, or at least the attitude. I'm not basing this off Twitter.

 

[Infinitron]

You guys shilling the "but BG1 just started out in Candlekeep!" angle are being a bit disingenuous to ignore all of this.

Yeah, funny that. Many people have said that this game is Baldur's Gate in name only, that it's not a true sequel and so on. And they have a point. But in terms of power progression and "epicness" specifically, Larian are actually giving us the third game in a series.

A proper sequel would be a Semi-Divine campaign.

Fixed it for ya.

To clarify, I'm not saying this is just an internet issue. I'm saying that the overt stuff like getting fired for having a slightly off-brand political opinion or political correctness dominating a public space is (for the most part) a specifically American and British issue. Sensitivity training is a good measuring stick for this; it is widespread in most workplaces in American and Britain, but extremely rare (and very lowkey when it is even used) in the rest of the west.

Well-adjusted people are extremely sensitive to anything that doesn't sound completely ordinary. Just a whiff of non-standard political (or other) opinions is enough to make them fuck off for good. You don't even need to bring anything up explicitly. Anything that makes them the slightest bit uncomfortable will do it.

That would have been cool, if Black Isle were the ones making it, it were using 2.5e and we weren't living in Clown World 2022.

Personally, I'm glad that the worst the original BG series has seen is Beamdog.

There's no need for a "true" sequel at all. This is just a new game that will hopefully be fun and a little nostalgic. D&D died after AD&D anyway.

 

[Swen]

I will say that if and when you see a tranny character in BG3 (probably gonna be the tiefling party member, which would also be kind of fitting), you can all laugh at me for having preordered this like a typical boomer consumer.

Though, in my defense, I don't think trannyism was quite this pervasive back in 2020.

What's wrong with tranny characters in BG3? You know you can do whatever you want rigth? Kill em all if you want, it's your game and your choice.

 

[Grunker]

But then you have Wrath of the Tranny

Are there actually that many trannies in Wrath? I'm playing it but I'm speedreading most dialogue. While the game is certainly extremely weird and overtly "sex positive 2022-style" about the whole sex-thing, I haven't noticed much genderbending

 

[Fedora Master]

Correct but nobody cares about DOS3 so Larian had to rob the graves of their betters.

Pretty sure Germany sends people to prison for anti-LGBT speech and Holocaust denial. Australia doesn't look kindly on not being woke as well.

The entire West is subservient to the American/British system to some degree, so it really doesn't matter which country you go to. Just a question of how far along they are.

Good to know that Denmark has some sense left though.

I always say that the "American Dream" is more a state of mind - sleep, specifically. NPCs tolerate woke just fine. But they absolutely hate being woken up.

Sven, if you are reading this - I will forgive you everything (even the woolen shirt in D:OS2) if you find some way to incorporate Imoen Romance Mod into this game.

Preferably the original one.

The first NPC you meet is a tranny who's married to an orc. And he's with you for pretty much the rest of the game. Thank Amber Scott for that.

As for others, not sure. I quit playing after a while. Probably though.

I know there's a gay or bisexual furry, and a gay or bisexual tiefling, a coprophiliac, a cannibal, some faggot elf-looking guy who has orgies... You get the picture.

They need to go straight for Saerileth

Pretty sure Germany sends people to prison for anti-LGBT speech and Holocaust denial.

Thinking that Germany's approach to Holocaust denial is "woke" belies the lack of knowledge you have to have to classify all these diverse issues into the same bucket of wokeness.

Germany's democratic model is militant and has been since the end of the war - meaning that unlike Scandinavian or south European states, it is par for the course for German law to directly prohibit anti-democratic expression.

It's not "woke", it's a centuries-old legal tradition.
