We should ask Josh what he thinks about BG3 romances.

I'm sure he regrets not coming up with the bear idea himself.

congrats to the one codexer that did this mod, it reached far and wide with seething

Nexus already shut down the mod too. Under "heavy" moderation and can't be downloaded. Fucking unreal.

Since RPGHQ.ORG is actually better than most other sites that discuss RPGs, this mod can now be found under its vault.

i.e. the stress and feeling of imminent danger to suppress sexual desire completely, esp for a woman I think that's more realistic.

War and crisis increase sexual activity. It's a natural coping mechanism, so people fuck a lot during wars and crisis situations. Much more than in times of peace and prosperity. Not even accounting rape.
Still heavy handed in BG3. No excuses.

That's just about the dumbest shit i ever heard and i think i already actively hate this guy and it's nice to finally have a face to go with the shit writing in this game.

He's anti-romance.

I spent most of my time in the game so far not knowing you could short rest and I didn't get a single comment from party members about wanting to rest, despite having spent all my spells and shit. I'm fairly sure that one of the triggers is to at least have spent both short rests, unless something changed recently.

No, I just had such a bark occur with neither short rest spent.

That's why he added it to Deadfire

I did say you should download it before it's taken down. If anyone wants it, I can share it with you.

I'm more interested in what it modifies, because this way I can change more NPCs if I find the time to play around with modding.

It's actually random. Theoretically, it should start when you have a new conversation in the camp.
It worked that way until I went to Underdark, then it started randomly appearing even if I did a long rest a few minutes before.

The feeling of threat may increase sexual desire between partners who are already familiar with each other. E.g. you lose your job and you find yourself having sex with your gf more often while between jobs. That's also explainable in freudist terms as looking for shelter, as well as in biological - looking to further your genes because you sense increased danger for yourself. But randomly reaching for unfamiliar pussy just because "it's apocalypse so anything goes" I doubt would sit well with women. Biologically, women are concerned with raising the offspring, men with passing the genes.

Just my musings here, so don't ask me for journal article citations.

Mods that turn Astarion and Gale into niggers are a-okay though.

In fact I've heard him advocating for "meaningful relationships" as a wider form of forming bonds with party members than just a minigame with sex for reward for choosing the right dialogue options. My admirations for this, because this would be exactly what we want, in theory - camaraderie with some party members, romance with others, casual sex with others, according to their personalities. In practice however, Obsidian's writing turns every companion into some kind of cringe at one time or another. Like communism, good writing in party member relationships has never been tried.

Are there any?

Gortash looks like Pajeet 7/11 employee. Jason Isaacs does not suit him at all.

I encourage everyone to make an account at RPGHQ.ORG, and especially if they find the Codex too "woke" for their taste.

Looks like they actually removed those too. I guess they DO care about the appearance of neutrality.

 

[AwesomeButton]

This, but unironically.

No, I really do. If anyone can take so much metaconversation, while still believing they are discussing RPGs, they better carry out the discussion there.

It's also difficult to understand RPGHQ conversations if you aren't coming from the Codex.

Making Wyll white isn't going to make him any less of a shitty character so i don't care.

Agree, for characters with a defined character that mod doesn't change the experience at all. I think such a mod would be a nice-to-have cosmetic mod if it changes pedestrian and minor characters whose being black just throws you off from any feeling of immersion you might have. I'd happily race-swap black characters in the Last Light area (you'll reach it and you'll see). I'm not at the city yet, but I'd race swap there as well.

With the caveat that cynical old farts who have been playing games for 30 years, already need to actively put efforts into not trying to deconstruct the game they're playing. They have problems being immersed which wouldn't go away by just installing a race swap mod.

It's just my preference not to have token black characters in my medieval fantasy RPG. I don't interfere with how anyone else is playing, and I'm not advocating everyone should play this way, so live and let live.

I'm torn. On one hand, we have a forum with 30 seconds long pop-up fortnite ads. On the other hand, we have a forum with Rusty

In my experience, Rusty is one of the most rational and well-spoken people there.

I forgot to mention earlier, it's also difficult to understand RPGHQ conversations if you aren't coming from the Codex.

There was one user there with a signature leading to a twitter account where IRL pics of codex members were being posted. That user has currently removed that link from his signature. I wonder if this was the result of an act of forum administration "oppession" on his "free speech"...

He should start a blog. What happened with blogging? Stupid social networks, man, killed blogging and now we have to sift through shit to find some quality. We only have Lilura nowadays.

Most of this is happening in the Youtube space or similar places, videos have taken over sadly
