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

[Nifft Batuff]

Been hate on this game since the very first gameplay reveal before Early Access even started. Stop fucking lying, you mongrel.

Not only hating a game he hasn't and won't play, but being hipster about his hate. I hated it before others hated it!!!! My hatred is more genuine and real than yours!!!!

I already hate BG4.

I'm aware I'm not making any great discovery here, but still posting this to contextualize the astarion vs bear scene:


I'm certainly not a proponent of zoophilia depictions in videogames, just looking for some explanation why it ended up being featured in that stream, likely viewed by hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting people of all ages and interests.

Because it's funny and Larian always tries to be funny.
You even had the "that's nuts" squirrel

Eh, a bit too "niche" humor, isn't it?

Wrong. You are making excuses for your own fetish. The scene itself was not humorous. It was disgusting. Any normal person would agree. You felt so strongly about this, that you decided to wake up an old account to start posting again. You don't come crawling back here to defend humour. You come back to defend your sexual fetish. Just fucking own up to it.

I'm sure it would spark the imaginations among a certain group of viewers, however small that group, would provoke discussion, and would signal "anything is possible in this game" So, job done. Distasteful, but... yeah.

Romances are non-issue because they can be ignored. Any retard who cries about this shit outs themselves as degenerate that wants to participate in their chosen degenerate version of romance. The only exception is if someone criticises the concept of romance in RPG:s, this is based and encouraged.

You can't ignore combat systems, like making fundamental changes to how multiclassing work. Especially if higher difficulties are balanced around them.

Who do you actually know that has ever said they play RPG just for Romance? I have heard that allegation before but I find it hard to believe considering Romance is an optional and small part of the overall components of any RPG

PeopLe like me enjoy Romance but its definitely not the main reason we play RPG

No, thats not accurate. Just ignore it because you dont have to participate in it

It can be done, I promise you. You can choose what Romance arcs you want to initiate. It surprises me some people seem to think you MUST be part of every possible Romance option. I have never played any RPG like that

It's surprising that with a new CRPG with turn based combat, choices and consequences and reactivity coming out people focus on the adjacent content that you will never see unless you engage with it.

My theory is that the BG3-haters are closeted bearfuckers who secretly fear that they will not be able to suppress their unnatural urges if given the opportunity to act on them.

That leads to them to lashing out against the game, like all those closeted homos in the Repuiblican party and the evangelical churches lash out against faggotry.

See all these quotes? Every single one of them is going to get their asses fucked by a bear in a videogame. They are all bonafied zoophiliacs. They defend this, because they like it. It's because they agree that this should be part of gaming going forward. They are more than happy to spend their time and possibly money to achieve this level of degenerecy and to let companies know that this is what they want. They can pretend they will set the game to the hardest difficulty and "not choose the options" to get fucked by a bear, and "not choose the option" to jerk off some black dude so his spells don't fizzle. But they will be voting for this as GoTY, posting about its combat, while they have their dick in their hand, working on their 5th playthrough (on story mode difficulty), just to make sure they didn't miss out on any further scenes involving animals.

I dont agree with this post because your premise is wrong and that makes the rest of the post wrong. I dont how how many more times it can be explained before you understand what most of us think about the bear sex scene but I will try one more time

Your premise is "Every single one of them is going to get their asses fucked by a bear in a videogame ". Thats wrong, I am not going to initiate the bear scene or the gay Vampire scene but I might have them in my party because of combat effectiveness and side-quests. I havent decided yet and only will when I play BG3

And the reason I wont initiate either of those Romance options is because they not my preference, I only Romance women in RPG

These Romance options are an inconsequential part of the 250-300 or so hours of the activities and other components that BG3 consists of. So why would I care about a bear sex scene that has nothing to do with 99% of the way I am going to play BG3?

I hope this clears up any confusion.

It's only niche for people who derive their personality from performatively outraged internet tribalism.

I think you're onto something, man.

When I was 11 years old playing Fallout and Baldur's Gate on my home computer, being mesmerized by the art and creativity that was quite clearly poured into those games, and having my imagination being totally enamored by them, I never really realized the actual truth about those games.

I want to thank Larian for finally allowing me to realize my true self and realize those games were really missing something vital to their essence. If only my 11 year old self knew, that all I ever really wanted was to have those games be filled with pornography.

It's niche because if girls in their teens find bear-on-man sex "weird but funny, but I would never admit it", that group is an even smaller proportion of the game's player base, than it is of the overall population.

/vg/ did a poll.

Actual real world zoophilia is disgusting and wrong.
But jokes about faggots fucking animals are funny because they are grounded in reality and the biological and behavioral absurdities of homosexuality and homosexuals.
Lesbians are OK though.

BTW, I never played Fallout with a female character, but didn't Fallout and Fallout 2 have quest reactivity for female PC where the PC would basically whore herself out for lower shop prices or to complete a quest? That's not the same as motion captured sex scenes, but it would have still been outrageous to the parents of an 11 year old, I guess.

I don't choose to keep faggots as company. But hey, props to you for being able to tolerate them.

It's SHIT!

I honestly cannot imagine anybody ever tried to fuck a bear and survived it. Seems like a receipt for suicide

Maybe they would tranqualizer-dart the bear first. For science.

A living bear maybe but a dead one...

 

[Drakortha]

Stop talking about the bear. It's just a big deflection at this point.

BG3 is shit for so many other reasons.

You damned maggots.

 

[Varnaan]

BG3 is shit for so many other reasons.

Played through EA 3 times.
Some concerns with UI and graphics, but overall had a good experience.
Calling it shit is more of a stretch than Astarion's anus after getting beared.

sorry, but if bear wants to have sex with you, your opinion is irrelevant. he will have sex with you.

If they don't dictate the game's tone too much, and it's not too linear, it would be fun.

If they do dictate it too much and it's too linear, like D:OS/2 have been, then some fun can still be had with playing it coop and commenting on its sillyness. Not the most elevated way to spend an evening with someone, but you can't go to the opera every week.
