No companion in either pathfinder games is worse than this shit. Not even close

And people bitch about an obvious joke with a party member that was meant as a joke in the first place.

Which part are you talking about that was an obvious joke?
Is not the first time they use Astarion for silly suff. The whole character in the game is basically an half elf, snobbish noble wanna be pompous character. Once they used him in a valentine day clip and the video was so hilariously bad. Astarion is pretty much a meme character and was always like this.

Even the way he talks in game is designed as a meme.

Only Astarion is truly weird and has default homosexual mindset (characters are playersexual, but rest of them act hetero). No former-sex-fiend-now-newborn-virgin-succubus or referenced above orc-elf couple.

Unlike Bioware, Larian simply met the players' expectations. I remember people complaining (of course codex too) that the character didn't look attractive enough so they changed it.

I guess hate for bg3 cause amnesia.
In Kingsmaker we had half elf and half orc, their cringe level was no different from Astarion. In Wotr we have Nienio, Ember, Camelia and Arushae

All of them are better than this shit. And if you are going to go into random NPC behavious, this thiefling chick is also worse than all those mentioned by what they shown us. I can only guess the level of cringe other BG3 companions attain.

They updated Wyll's Bio on the official page in accordance with his background apparently being rewritten. I guess this also explains why he apparently wants to kill Karlach if you run into her.

where the best is like the worst
Bear in mind that this could just be a marketing trick
I see a lot of people talking about BG3 now who didn't care previously
Yea that is what Bud Light said - "Now they are all talking about us!"
Except Bud Light's core customers were conservatives while RPG fanbase is filled with homosexuals, furries and trannies.

The game shot up to the top of the steam charts fwiw. Its was obviously a calculated move and generated a lot of buzz around the title, for better or worse.

To write something like that you must either be retarded or not play any of these games. We have an entire Pathfinder thread, and nothing currently in EA even comes close to that level of cringe.
Maybe with the exception of Astarion, in WoTR we have Nienio instead, which easily tops him.

probably an old belgian joke : "you killed my wife, now you replace her" says the bear to the hunter

what's the dark urge ?
Edit : found the vid, nevermind. Hey, sounds good actually : going through the campaign killing everyone is a good way to avoid romances. Personally I mostly play Larian games for the TB combats since writing is so meh.
