TBH Infinitron should ban you for being a Jew holocaust denier alone, I do not know who shat in your brain for that one.
You are allowed to advocate for genocide on this forum, so good luck with that.

Just saying that this cuck deserves it much more than sheep did. He should keep to his incel threads or whatever, never seen a valuable post by him, ever.

Since I recently started noticing more and more signs of balding, I feel personally attacked by this.
All wojaks are bald because all people are bald under their hair, bro.

:love:

I’m not saying it’s a terrible game, I’m just saying I’m not excited for it. No amount of overly produced Larian comedy sketches is going to get me hyped for the game either.

Maybe I’ll be totally wrong, but the more time goes on and I don’t see some aspect of the gameplay or story that really grabs me, the less hopeful I become.

You should check the Jew thread where I cite and link to all the verses in the Talmud that talk about pedophilia being ok and enslaving gentiles.

:M

That said, try to keep our discussion on topic and not about me as a poster please.

I'm sure you realize people care about their sisters as well, not only lovers (let's be real, sexual conquests).
Ahh you do know that she was and orphan and not your sister till mid bg 2 lol ? Also the devs never really give you a reason to care about her. You could just get rid of her at the start of bg1 and you spend the first 2/3 of bg2 with her being kidnapped,and then you end up leaving her in the dungeon after "rescuing" her because your party is full. Clearly her whole existence was an afterthought. Really half assed character in bg games.

Ok allow me to start a useful and informative discussion to get rid of shitposters.
Would you fuck Imoen or not?
Discuss.

As the Bhaalspawn no, because Incest is wrong.
As myself yes, because she is cute.

What incest? The only source of genetic material is the mother. Bhaal only provided his essence, which can be moved from person to person.

I am not into "it's not incest because she is my step sister" either. If you look at anyone having sisters it is quite apparent that that would be the last person you would want to fuck. You grow up too close for that kind of relationship.


They grew up as childhood friends, not as siblings though, and childhood friends fuck all the time.

On one hand, she's a step sister which makes it kinda hot. On the other, she's annoying af so no.
I'd rather have a (b)romance with Sarevok tbh. :M
Guys, why are we talking about Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 instead of the oh so exciting Larian game?

Could it be that it isn’t even as interesting as a game from 20 years ago? Oh my! Who would ever dare to suggest such a thing???

Bah, hasnt posted here since March and returns directly after sheeps ban when the discussion in the ban thread goes about Infis protectiveness of this thread. Appears here being obnoxious af and obviously trying to become a martyr. Even posts that authority breeds rebellion or some shit like that seconds before. Your agenda is clear as day, and others should know about it.

Also nice edit bro as your post before was just about Jews.

Yes, the fact most PCs won't have a reason to care about Imoen has been extensively documented and well established. But they can't make her your lover because a) forcing romantic subplots in RPGs with blank slate characters is pretty taboo, b) you can be a woman while the sensibilities in the 90s were different, we don't even have a single same-sex romance option in BG2 let alone a forced one, and c) there are other ways to make us care. BG2 is just strange in the plot department either way.

Ahhhh it was an example,don't overthink it. Also with good writing there is always a way. Most npcs were just there for having different stats companions. BG1 was really shit when it came to npc writing.

Maybe not with the way BG2 is set up. The problem from where I'm standing is Irenicus, not Imoen per se. Is it not strange that they deemed it necessary to have Imoen kidnapped/imprisoned after Irenicus' dungeon? This is because Irenicus is not a good plot hook and is not a logical continuation of BG1. The entire game (without the expansion) revolves around a completely unrelated side story to what is actually going on. To have good writing in BG2, it would've been necessary to rewrite the main story and not to frame Imoen differently.

Look, they're trying to show a connection between the old games and this one:
https://www.ign.com/articles/how-baldurs-gate-3-is-evolving-the-series
Historical Continuity
That doesn’t mean that Larian is just scrapping all of the lore established by Baldur’s Gate I & II, though. The team is looking at everything that happens up until the end of Baldur’s Gate 2 as canonical history. ”No one's ever going to know if you picked the pocket of that one innkeeper,” Smith laughs. “But everything that happened, happened.”

The city's changed, Smith continues, and they’ve had fun looking at what would have happened, politically or socially, in the gap between games. “So we look at all of that, but [the gap between games] is enough time to give us a clean slate for new characters. Although some of them have long memories, as well,” he adds, wryly.

It is a relatively traditional fantasy setting, after all. Elves, for example, regularly live well into their 700s, so it’s entirely possible that characters - even our own, given the options available during creation - would remember the Bhaalspawn crises, or that we’ll see characters like Kivan or Coran or make a return in Larian’s take on the Sword Coast. “One of the interesting things,” Smith says, “is for some people that's ancient history, for some people, it's recent history… We're 100 years later, but that's not a long time for a deity.”
... but since they basically got nothing to say about it, the article is bland as fuck.

And you've seen one by sheep?

Sheep is at least entertaining with his tinfoil hat speel. Lampchops is just sad.

What's sad is tagging Infinitron and asking for a user to be banned. On the codex of all places. We have so many retards here whom I woul've banned a long time ago, but thankfully I'm no admin and can't ban anyone. And thankfully I'm not pathetic enough to ask for cretins like you to be banned, because I realise that this is the Codex, and the reason I'm here is because you can post here without the fear of being banned over every little nonsense or shitpost.

I actually like him as a villein,far better than your brother in the first game. At least in bg2 you had more encounters with him and made more personal. In the first one it was "i am your brother,lets go full on highlander now". It is clearly that the first one was that virgin geek shit where they play make believe. Some one watched the highlander and decided to try and make a D&D session about it. BG2 has a lot better writing than the first one for sure. The most original and interesting thing in BG1's story was the whole iron market speculation thing,far better story than bhaal spawn wanker shit.
