Why does he think Owlcat wouldn't butcher Baldur's Gate seeing how many trannies and sodomite romances were in Wrath?


As I said ages ago re. PF:K, the difference between what they're doing in the Owlcat games and in BG3, is that in the Owlcat games they're a bit behind the times, so the degeneracy/faggotry is more in the humanist or moral universalist vein of "why can't we all just get along?" and "what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms yada yada." PF:K is where Western games were in the Noughties.

Whereas with BG3 and other more Western games the mind virus is more advanced, it's all much more aggressive and personal - it's out to get you, the player (or rather, to put it another way, it's "not made for you" but made for someone with rainbow coloured hair, so to speak). The only thing that's in a similar vein to the pushiness of BG£ in WOTR, for example, is having a slightly pushy faggoty option in conversation with the black cleric at one point, maybe a couple of other instances.

But even with Owlcat, PF:K was a bit more "innocent" in that regard than WOTR, and WOTR is already getting on the way to being more like BG3, more "normalization" and ESG vibes. Rther than "Hey, let's be nicer to deviants and faggots," it's more like, "You vill enjoy ze faggotry bigot."

The hirelings don't feel right to me. I get Larian giving them backstory, but they ultimately come off as "bootleg" companions that are just...there.

It reminds me a bit of Dragon's Dogma's pawns, which I also felt were a bit uncanny. At least the Pawns are very expressly described as "Ersatz People". The hirelings feel more like Larian going, "if we had more resources these guys would be companions".
I'm glad they never made it to companions. Have you seen how they look? It's like someone ran the character creators on random for 10 turns and used every single one of the outcomes.

This makes me wonder if the game is gaining some sort of following in Japan, incidentally.
I know both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk were reasonably big hits there, for example.
Then again, both had Japanese voice over.
Yeah the game has everything for it to become a big hit in Japan.

I think Spike Chunsoft are dealing with the localisation.

I watched a couple of Japanese streamers playing these games and it was funny how quickly they got bored and quit. One of them was a completionist who streamed a large number of lengthy RPGs.
I owned it since launch day and to this day I have yet to play CP2077 past the ten hours mark (and at this point I'm waiting the upcoming update to even consider trying again), so that's not particularly shocking to hear.

But that wasn't the point, anyway, and it's not relevant in context.
The two games DID do exceptionally well as foreign titles in the Japanese market. and gained a lot of fans there. This is not up to debate.

Daeran never tried to suck my character dick out nowhere unless i actively picked the flirt option , also there's barely any player sexual characters, unlike bg3 where if you breath a little harder even villians want to fuck you:M

Owlcat made the guy who wrote bisexual orc in open relationship with half elf girl the main writer of WotR. No Larian game can reach that level of pozz that shit legit put me off continuing PF:K

Just tell them to fuck off and problem is solved.

In BG3 you are constantly confronted with current day shit, from "High Elves" with African skin and facial features to homosexual couples, to grrl boss town guards, to trannies, especially after reaching the outskirts. It's pretty save to say that BG3 outpozzed any other RPG ever released by a very wide margin.

Daeran definitely hits on you when the crusade starts even if you didn't flirt with him in Kenabres. But he takes the hint after that.

I thought Daeran was really well handled. Being gay fits his character (I mean, you literally meet him while throwing an orgy), he hits on you and if you tell him to fuck off he's pretty gratious in his response and never bothers you again with it.
