Look here cuckboys, character creation in Patch 9:
Nobody forcing you to be a tranny in my game!
Let's consider all the woke tropes present in the video
1. Women warriors
2. Women with STR scores comparable to men
3. Bald women
4. Way too much bloom
nigger, you missed most obvious and worst offender - she's not wearing chainmail bikini, like proper barbarian wommyn.
bg2 already was woke shit - they replaced wommyn warrior leotard from first game with dress.
It's as if "modern" audiences and writers don't understand the point of barbarians or just armour in fantasy settings in general.
Yes, they wear little armour, that's the bloody point. They're either so backward, so cocky, so skilled, so hopped up on drugs, have some mystical shit or all of the above that armour is just unnecessary or unappealing to them.
The point of armour is to stop you from dying if you get hit. If you have other means of damage mitigation then you don't need armour. Simple as.
Armour is important in reality because we don't really have other ways of damage mitigation. The same could not be said of a fictional setting.
But no, everyone needs to be in a burlap sack because of "muh male gayze" or "reelizm."
Then if you criticize shit like combat wheelchairs in the setting they'll go "but it'z fantazy tho"
