Can't believe how lame and utterly gay the official Larian forums are. Resetera tier.

Guy outlines his issues with CURRENT_YEAR things and gets banned. The forums are not even worth reading while on the shitter.

Him saying he thinks bear sex is weird and he wants to tell gay NPCs he's not gay got a mod response of

Well, a post with this level of sexist and homophobic provocation isn’t a promising start for a new forum member.

Lol imagine getting so triggered about a drag queen character owning a Circus. Some people are truly demented lol!

Companies should start copyright-striking cringe content such as this

So, what is the Codex verdict on this game?

Great explorefag game with really good level design, TB combat with fun enemies that is limited by a barebones system like 5e and on the easy side because of balancing issues, better than previous BGs at roleplay and choices but not exactly ground breaking there when compared with other RPGs and a story that truly feels like the story of a porn movie, where all the effort gone on the fucking and not enough on the why.

I'm guessing it's more the cumulative nature of it rather than that one tranny. I'm not overly fussed by gay stuff in games, but this one in particular is packed to the gunwales with it. Baldur's Gayt, amirite.

Nocturne in the Shar temple feels like pandering but I think the drag queen inclusion is probably as much or more a result of many of the writers being British as it is them trying push a particular agenda. Decades of objectively terrible but inexplicably popular plays, TV programs and comedy routines that predate modern thinking on gender identity confirm that a not insignificant proportion of the British public thinks a man in a dress is the funniest form of comedy, it's one of the more mystifying aspects of British humour to me.

Well we're known by the crazy Americans as "TERF island" because there's actually push back against trannyism here. Not sure that has anything to do with it.

What utter bollocks.

That is literally made up bullshit.

Yeah he specifically made a 10th level spell, afair. Or was it 12th? I dunno. Was a spell though. Why did they make up this stuff? Is it important for gameplay reasons or something?

 

[processdaemon]

What utter bollocks.

You can think that if you like but over 100 years of pantomime dames, decades of drag queens like Lily Savage and the inexplicable popularity of Mrs Brown's boys stands against you. I don't find it funny either but it is a very popular trend in British humour and it seems odd to deny it.

 

[kangaxx]

I don't think this allows the claim that Brits think dressing up as a bird is "the funniest form of comedy". Every country has drag shit...

So, can you kill the drag queen that gay black guy voiced?

I mean I don't have any way to objectively measure exactly how funny everyone finds it but it certainly seems more prevalent and enjoyed by a wider cross section of the public than it is in other countries, especially with regards to family entertainment. My point was mostly that the inclusion of a drag queen is likely an apolitical extension of writers' humour that makes sense in the context of British media and that it's probably not agenda pushing in the way that Americans might assume a drag queen character is.

I'm starting to think playing evil is indeed the best choice, missing merchant also seems to me be an improvement, because whoever designed the bartering UI deserved to be flogged.

Good question, I'll try this on my current run. I see no reason why not, but you'll probably agro the whole circus (shouldn't be a problem given how easy Act 3 is at max level). I think the cross dresser is level 8 or 10.

processdaemon Mebrilia the Vieira Troon inadvertently has a point in that the circus is the most viable place for these kinds of people. If anything isn't it somewhat based?

My issue with the gayness of the game is that it's literally everywhere, not that there are loads of troons, which I didn't notice in great numbers compared to plain vanilla gays. There's a troon in Shar's temple, not sure if Karlach is meant to be one?

Except that the setting is already clown world. Just how is the circus any different from Baldur's Gate itself in that regard?

The animators sure seemed to think so.

There's a difference between a drag queen and Eric Idle in a dress. Now get off that hillock and stop being a silly boy.

Or Terry Jones, or Cleese - in fact, I think every Python has played a woman in some of their productions. I also believe that most of the current year's SJW crew find their portrayal offensive, while it's just meant for fun. In fact, BBC wouldn't dare to produce a show like MP anymore. Imagine the outrage from something like the Lumberjack bit.
