The haters played DA2, BG:SoD and ME:A also. So were Nu-Bioware and beamdog masterminds?

Hmm. I'm thinking no.
But BG3 is actually a good game so even the haters will love it in the end.

The number of fetishes I've found so far in Baldur's Gate 3.
  • Foot fetish
  • Bestiality
  • Mind Break
  • Submission
  • Cuckoldry
  • Polyamory
  • Yaoi/Fujoshi
  • Femdom
Fuck, Wrath of the Righteous looks like a fucking nunnery compared to this pride parade of a game.
Oh, I doubt that's true. You had that handicapped couple at Kingsmaker.
In WoR you definitely have:
1) Cannibalism (literally all female characters)
2) Furries
Given that the last companion added was the Shifter, I'd bet there's plenty of hints at best.
The only difference between Owlcat and Larian is that Larian has more money.

Make the Codex Great Again! Pathfinder: Wrath
I wonder what the completion rates of this game will be. I have a feeling 99% of the people brought in by the hype won't be finishing this game or even the first act.

There's little point debating it because the D&D concept of an "adventurer" is entirely ahistorical in and of itself, the closest analogue would be a small time bandit.
More like a mercenary. Which, by the way, is how Icewind Dale games portrayed its adventurers (with Icewind Dale II straight up offering pre-made mercenary companies).

Their not. Instead they are just going to go straight to the sex or download weird sex mods on Nexus or Lovers Lab until they get sore in both their arms from jerking off. This game will be this generations Skyrim in terms of sex mods and degeneracy.

Probably pretty low honestly. Completion rates for all CRPGs with trackable stats (Steam achievements and something similar) are usually fairly low. If I recall correctly both the Pathfinder and Original Sin games have something like 10% completion

Most people don't even finish short games, and the number of people who finish RPGs lasting 100h+ is much smaller.
Such WoR has a whole 11% completion. Not even 1/3 of players reached Arx in DoS2 and only 18.5% completed the game in story mode.

I suggest everyone to offer some custom steam tags.

Doing that wouldn't even be considered a tag trolling. Think of all the innocent gamers whom you're going to save from riding the bull.

Honestly, it's a bit childish. It won't hurt the game's sales in any way (I think this might boost sales even more) and just shows some players as a bunch of hysterics.

I'm not suggesting adding custom tags as a way to get back at Swen, if anything it may actually increase sales due to the extra exposure.

But it would be more honest this way. The game should wear this bear thing on its sleeve.

Is being able to respect companions really such a problem? It's not like you have to do that.
If they didn't give that option people would still do it with mods or not.

Yeah, just pointless to bitch about it. It's a fucking SP game.

It's lame because it adds up to other features that seem to be aimed at minimizing the weight of what should be permanent decisions and make characters and races devoid of any identity.

Respec is one thing, being able to change entirely the starting class, race or sex of a character is a whole other level of "It's just a game, everything is fake and nothing really matters".

Late Bloomer I look forward to your explanation then because every single source I could find on the net tells me that the spear was

1) easy to produce
2) easy to train people to use

and that's why it was used so much

Too bad you can't make the companions not-shit anyway.
Still have hope that we might get some normal looking ones in the later acts. But yeah, companion-wise, the game does not look good.

I remember seeing this funny video that claimed to "scientifically prove!!!" that spears are thoroughly superior
But ultimately it just proved what experience taught me
The swordsmen that failed did so entirely because they either didn't fully commit their attacks, as they stopped/back away at the last moment, or because their "attacks" were just the most clumsy, ungraceful attempts at an attack (yet the author of the video claims they were all "experienced" fighters :lol:)
And the few swordsman that did succeed, never held back and actually showed to possess some technique
I look forward to your video showing how Lindybeige is completely wrong

No, really!
