Baldur's Gate 2 is the single worst thing that happened to RPGs after Dragon age 2 and Dragon Age Inquisition.
Its damage to the genre is unparalleled.

And bg3 continues this tradition, a proper sequel.
BG2 didn't have any graphic sex scenes. The romances were bare bones minimum and they didn't have gay stuff or beast romance either.

The bullshit that we see in Baldur's Slop 3 started with Dragon Age: Origins, but it has gotten progressively worse.

gfx sex scenes are better than narrated ones lol

I really don't care if the game has gay/beast etc romance but why including them and making em optional is not enough? Is forcing gay scenes onto a clearly straight character incentivized somehow?

It depends. Almost every character at a specific point of game (not going to say exactly which, to avoid spoilers) tries to hit on PC. You can tell them all to fuck off and they will no longer show interest unless you want something yourself later in game

BG2 doesn't even have narrated sex scenes. There are no sex scenes in the game, period.

If you romance Aerie for example, then she will just suddenly tell you that she is pregnant after a few in-game weeks. It is not even implied that she ever even saw your PC's pecker, it is just assumed by the player, because that is what couples do.

Play the game, it is actually pretty good and certainly leaps and bounds better than Baldur's Slop 3.

EDIT: typo

Yet you can in a "totally not gay" scene stare into the night sky with Gale with a straight male character, emperor forces romance onto you for a loong while, halsin also hits on you for a long while unless you deliberately avoid talking to him in some of the first scenes in the camp with meta knowledge. And all of these happened while my character were in a straight relationship. I won't buy the "devs are too lazy to check" card here

You can reject all these advances, even kill all these npcs (except emperor which happens only later in game) . Just cause these dialogue options exist doesn't mean you are forced to choose them. These characters gets more gay only if you want them to be

So are devs drawing the line at raping the player character? lmao. Yeah you can obv reject them but it takes a while before you can do it with emperor & halsin. Also the scene with gale firstly is a surprise scene; you have no idea what's gonna happen before you agree to go, secondly I'm acting as a friend to him in the scene but the way its played is clearly gaaaaaay lol and its not just me, I've seen similar remarks watching people play too

and being able to kill them doesn't matter at all, f.i. you can kill everyone in TOW but you can't insult asexuality of Parvati cos being a bigot is far far worse than being a pscyho killer dontcha know?

Yeah, it sucks that this game doesn't allow you to verbally harass them for being gay. That was my biggest concern while playing this game. During every boss fight I had this thought in my mind - 'damn, I wish I said that this specific character is a faggot, that would definitely make me feel immersed'. As I said earlier - if this is your biggest concern then you are sad little man. Go play Little Big Planet instead.

And these rape allegations, you goofy ass

pff. TOW example was to show that being able to kill characters off doesn't matter. also for that topic
the problem was NOT being able to insult the character, it was that the writer's conjuring up a conversation in which player should have certain options if given the same freedom elsewhere in the game(meaning she could have easily not included that convo but that was not in her agenda) but she arbitrarily limited the responses so the player had to agree with it or whatever I don't remember exactly, just to lecture the players, as if we have no clue

And these rape allegations, you goofy ass

you said as long as you can refuse at some point there is no problem, what would happen if you can't refuse? ...RAPE! lmao, so the devs drew the line at rape according to you

also what relevance does Little Big Planet have to whatever bullshit your 50 IQ brain understood from what I said? just out of curiosity

Why the fuck you keep mentioning TOW. I didn't play this game since obsidian sucks ass, I don't know nor care about your argument.

You keep whining about these supposed forced homo interactions which are nonexistant and talk about some rapey moments in these game which are none. You use some weird logic that I don't have patience to decipher so feel triumphant, idc.

I used LBP as a example because it is equally idiotic as your issue with this game

you used it to paint me as if I wanted to insult gay characters in the game, now that I cleared it up for your IQ level it became "why the fuck am I keep mentioning TOW?" lol

I never talked about "rapey moments" in the game, read everything again a few dozen times

yes there are forced gay interactions in the game, such interactions shoulda been optional at the least

While it was still decline at least in BG2 all the NPCs had distinct sexual preferences too (you know like real people) as opposed to all being player sexual so no snowflake could get offended because their waifu didn't fancy them like in BG3.

So much useless tat - stickers, patches, a poster...if you've already got the digital edition it's not exactly singing:

What the fuck are you talking about? When did I mention TOW? Is dementia affecting you already, granpa?

There are no forced gay interactions between you and other npcs in this game. Although I don't know what is gay according to your sensitive ass. Are you one of those people who feel violated when other guy accidentally touches your hand and you have to start to question your own sexuality?

Hotfix #11 Now Live!
Version Number: v4.1.1.3956130

Hello everyone,

We’ve got a new hotfix for you today, addressing several bugs, visual issues and blockers.

Have you ever had a romance so intense, that everything melts away? Well, sometimes that isn’t intentional. We’ve fixed an issue where Gale’s romance scene was playing in what looked like some kind of black void. Consider the ambience restored.

We are aware of an issue with kissing animations for Astarion, and are currently working on a fix. We expect this to be released in a future update. Thank you for all your reports and messages, and thank you for playing Baldur’s Gate 3! If you have any bugs to report, please reach out to our support team.

FIXES

  • You can now use soaps encountered in savegames before Patch 4.
  • Fixed the game sometimes freezing indefinitely after a reaction to a spell that hits you with multiple projectiles.
  • Fixed a crash after using a reaction that causes an attack against a dead creature.
  • Fixed an issue causing you to get stuck in certain dialogues unable to continue.
  • Fixed a blocker that could occur when trying to Long Rest.
  • Dominated followers will now follow the party as expected after loading a savegame.
  • Fixed Gale's romance scene playing in what looks like a black void.
  • Fixed a Dark Urge flashback accidentally teleporting you to the Lower City.
  • The Cursed Skulls in Jannath's Estate are now vulnerable to Force and Radiant damage.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented certain characters from executing their behaviours.
  • Fixed citizens and refugees in Baldur's Gate sometimes jittering about the place or not using their proper animations.
  • Fixed some visual artefacts appearing at camp in relation to Dark Urge and Karlach dialogues. This also solved the bloodstain under

    suddenly becoming larger after loading a savegame.
  • Wyll and Minthara should now properly kiss a second time without the need to retrigger the dialogue.
  • Fixed an issue where a companion's camp night dialogue could be replaced by a different dialogue that couldn't trigger during a previous night.
