You can't change your face but you can change your genital's and pubes. Jesus Christ Larian! You have gone out of your way to please the worst kind of female gamers with romances and fujoshi baiting but you decided to not add the thing that female gamers demand that you add in a game and that has a character creator. The RaceGen mod for Skyrim is the most popular mod on the Nexus and for good reasons. I can't believe they didn't learn anything from the 12+ years since Skyrim has been out. If the mods there are any indication players want a character creator that isn't ass and a hot female companion who they can romance. Instead you make restriction on the character creator and every female companion in the game looks like she has been hit hard with the ugly stick and cucks you. Fucking great game design right there.
There's probably a technical reason for it. They're using their own in-house engine, so who knows. There's also the issue of this having mocaped dialog and things looking weird in cutscenes if the faces are too morphed, I guess.

They use quite advanced face motion-capture, but this probably is limiting possibilities to premade heads.

You're supposed to be fucking gay vampire and the bear, goy, not the females. Also remember you have to create a tranny in character creator to be true to the vision of the devs and experience the best roleplaying.

So i was streaming the game to a codexer to see if he liked it. He did however. Something new happened. I was fighting he howlbear. And Shadowheart went down in a couple of hits then with my paladin i gave a couple of good hit and then... Something happened that blown my mind. The howlbear stuck down my paladin nothing actually interesting about that to then jump down on top of my other 2 members of the party causing them to go prone.

That was a very cute display of ennemy A.I i loved that!
What fucking language is this
Mebrilian, a language widely spoken in the lands directly to the west of Baldur's Gate. :M

But that gay vampire isn't beautiful. Bear is an animal. Females are fugly, and with mental health issues.

Also I play RPG for killing and loot. Not for gay romances. And I will not use female main just to have heterosexual romances.

I also wonder if Kotaku etc. would have been so positive about the bearfucking if the fuckee was female. I somehow suspect we would have gotten different headlines if that was the case.
Indeed. Wait untill they realize a female can also get fcked by a bear in BG3...
The real question is can you let the bear fuck your romantic interest while you are watching?

Well, BG 3 allows threesome with Shadowheart and Halsin, so...

This is obviously cucked, but it reminds me that I keep thinking that there's some kind of weird cuckoldry to replaying a game that lets you play your romantic interest from before and see them bang half the characters in the game.

Slight OT: what did ye think of the asset reuse in Elden Ring?
the problem with fromsoft and bethesda's asset reuse is they're too obvious about it. fromsoft has literally been making the same game for over a decade, so has bethesda, hence oblivion with guns, skyrim with guns, skyrim with guns in space. etc. this also reminds me of the discussion surrounding mark morgans music in fallout. derivative? highly - but most importantly, DONE RIGHT. people have said it here already, but not all asset reuse is the same.

Lol no weight, height or muscle slider and i can only select between preset features but omg i can mix and match genitals and voice to be my TRUEST self.
Gotta love how even though the character creator empirically fails to surpass the standard set by other rpgs journos still wax lyrical and praise it as the best thing ever purely because of gender characteristics being unlocked.

“Your romantic interest”. It’s imaginary pixels. This is why it’s impossible to engage with this mechanic in any RPG, it injects cringe into my body.

How would you like me to say it? "The pixels from the previous romantic subplot"?

Get a thicker skin, man.
I’m being told to get a thicker skin when you just complained about feeling cucked because a NPC is not married to your character if you replay the game?

I never said I would feel cucked. I just talked about how weird it was as a feature.

It's like it's like some sort of weird cuck fetish thing they built into the game. Like all the other weird fetish things they've put in the game.

And yes, get a thicker skin. You're playing a game with romances in it. Get used to people talking about them.

An appropriate moment to remind everyone that Dragon's Dogma, a game originally released in 2012 for the PS3 console released in 2006, has an innovative character appearance customization system in which various parts of the face and body are selected from a lengthy list of available options, so that the player chooses the optimal shape of the character's eyes, eyebrows, ears, nose, mouth, head, arms, body, and legs, in a similar manner to the usual system for selecting just a hairstyle. Moreover, several parts of the face have additional sliders for fine-tuning their size and position, and there are further sliders for adjusting height, weight (fattiness versus thinness), musculature, bust size (women-only), posture, and stance.

Doesn't have mocapped lipsynch though, does it?

I'm sure they wanted to add it, regardless of what they claim, but there was probably some sort of budgetary or time thing and they axed it.

Now watch some modder prove me wrong and add it in the first month. :M

Bro, you're asshurt for someone else in a conversation you're not even a part of. Touch grass, seethe, cope, dilate, let him cook, reddit, zoomer speak, blahblahbalh. Get a life.
Your “conversation” is happening on a public forum, dimwit. Grow a brain, little cuck.

"Your romantic interest" :D You can tell who isn't coming from PnP experience by the fact that they equate their character to themselves. Which is sad. There is loads of fun roleplaying a character who is fundamentally different from you. It may even lead you to learning things about yourself.

Dialog is first-person. Narration is 2nd-person.

You can tell who isn't coming from PnP experience when they've never heard a DM narrate in the second person btw.
Which is sad.
Yup.
