So i checked the steam forums and every other thread is people complaining about the gay sex shit.

Lmao they must have made it incredibly easy to trigger.
but HOW? make male character, take women party members, BINGO! NO GHEY SEGGS EVER!

Retards are gonna complain about ghey seggs and fail to see the real issue. All companions are so goddamn horny for no reason. Every unique dialog leads you to romance out of nowhere, you can't just have a normal conversation without them thinking you're down to fuck.

Just tell them to fuckoff once in first act, and they never bring it again lol

This is simply not true. I told Gale to fuck off early on in act 1 and he started hitting on me again at the start of act 2.
weird because i told him during magic learning event that I'm not interested, same with will during dance event and all other rapist npcs and they never triggered again

That's missing the point. The very fact they made the advance unmprompted is enough to spoil the rest of the game if you are all trying to RP or get immersed in the story.

Imagine if Kelrdon in BG2 tried to fuck you early on. Even if he would shut up about it now you have to live with the knowledge this father figure noble Paladin is a fucking perverted homo.
But in bg 3 there are no noble paladins, you have ex slave vampire gale fuccboi mutaded frog retarded negro that got scammed and shadowhart and shes not pursuing sex after 1 chapter so thats cool

Oh no I've found the tranny. Oh no no no.

This is worse than SoD it's not just a normal tranny it is a "drag queen". You really hate to see it.

At the circus in Baldur's gate.
Seems like a proper location.

Another criticism: the dialog has a habbit of giving you several choices leading to a similar outcome, but one leads to an objectively better, more thorough answer.

As a player, it's pretty frustrating playing a guessing game as to which is which. Not to where I don't enjoy the game. Just to where I get tired of reloading.

This is where I told him to fuck off and he brought it up again at the start of act 2 after the first major story sequence.

Lyric Suite is 100% correct, this shit is sexual harrasment lmaoooo.

So far the game is really good, but I just hate the romance shit. Romances being the lowest tier content in RPGs is nothing new but BG3 is reaching a new low. Should they do a sequel, I just hope they do away with every companion being romanceable by every gender. For one they feel much more one-dimensional if they just wanna fuck you no matter what and b) I miss bro companions like Alistair or Eder.
This probelm is easy to fix.

Just state your sexual preference in character creation.

Problem solved.

All I know is that Shadowheart really wants this dick but I'm only semi-interested. Am interested in raw-dogging that lesbian couple, but I don't think Larian is prestigious enough to allow that.

This gets too complicated when characters can have a rotpocket. It will offend trannies in one way or another. "What do you mean I have to put my character as straight to fuck the women? I'm a woman with a penis! A lesbian!"

Easy then they just need to say they're bisexual/open for everything in character creation. This way sexual deviants will also be happy and us normal people can just put in heterosexual and have female romances and "bromances".

so is it possible to make a dude with a vagina and then have lesbian sex by scissoring with another dude with a vagina?

I don't know what that is, but try higher perception, try to bring an anti-magic flower from camp, try detect invisibility, maybe its not a bug?

That still leaves the real problem, which is that everyone's very into you very quickly having just met you and they're downright pushy about it. It wouldn't really be any better to select "i'm gay/straight" but then have the same problem but only with characters of your chosen sex - at most, it'd just remove half the problem.

It cheapens all the characters so much, too, it's a real shame that this romance shit has become a standard in this type of RPG. The Tiefling party was so bad that it actually made me view the companions as a bunch of crazed orgiasts who I should stay well away from, and my perception only recovered after it turned out that, mercifully, telling them all "no" actually does get them not to bring it up again. But then even that looks weird, that they were all going absolutely wild for you and then it never comes up again and they just start acting like normal adults.

None of that works, and guides say it should just be on the final piedestal.

I can't believe it took me 3 deaths to realize that you can just smash the golem boss in grymforge with the oversized mallet.

I'm convinced that these people are massive pussies that are trying to pick the options that aren't "mean" because they don't want to lose approval.

They're picking 'haha lets talk later...' instead of 'fuck off im not interested.'

Companions are definitely the worst thing about this game to me. They should have made the game slightly smaller so they could have time to make 12 companions - one for each class. Having slightly less content would have been more than made up for with replayability from having more companions. Githyanki should have been axed too. I doubt anyone wants to play as one and it barely makes sense. I know Larian fucking loves Lae'zel, but I don't think the players do? They could have easily given us some hotties instead. Or 5 hotties and a grandma if they absolutely have to add Jaheira.

The only one I like at all is Astarion and only because he reminds me of Milo Yiannopoulos

Imagine having to go on an adventure with a pregnant woman... are paladins allowed to do abortions?? Maybe gay romances are actually the true minmaxing in a modern rpg.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I'm amazed that it was Larian of all companies who would be the ones to carry on Bioware's torch. Playing any of their RPGs before DOS 2, you'd never have suspected it.
