I don't get it, are people mad about these couple of lines that were added ? I mean is that all they added ? I mean the characters are not going around cutting dicks.

It's partly an issue of principle, which is fine, but most people overreacted and spiraled into the same kind of mob mentality they despise in SJWs.
No they didn't. Also, people need to react when new SJW bullshit is pushed or it will only go one way.

There's a bottom line here. Each of the lines and characters in dispute here make up an infinitesimal fraction of a game that is mostly (and primordially) a dungeon crawler.

Nothing anyone says or does can change that.

There's clearly not enough examples for you imbeciles to realize how those people operate. it only starts small.

The developers themselves have exposed their agenda.

Imagine what they would do if they had the Dark Sun setting available.

Bullshit. That is just the strawman mantra ignorants kept harping through it all.

(a) speculative.

(b) even if true, the recent spate of D&D related failures and the limitations of the investments Wizards is willing to make may deter them from escalating the political commentary, at least at first.

... it's what disinterested people who have no expectations or desires from the game would have to conclude after a brief period of assessment.

Like your other SJW allies, you have no agument. Attempting to equate both sides only shows which side you're on.

What's a religion to social justice warriors is to me mostly an issue of politeness. It is generally right to take most people as individuals and let them prove their merit, if they have any, without prejudice or compunction.

However, that ethic is part of a much bigger picture of moral excellence that includes having nerves of steel. Meaning, you can't have such a fragile sense of self that it collapses under small insults and slights, what social justice warriors call a "micro aggression." World is a tough place and you need to have some skin if you want to get through it with your dignity intact.

Creating a world without "micro aggressions" is an implausible, basically fascistic impulse that requires human beings have a far greater level of interest in people and situations they don't (and can't) know anything about than is politically healthy.

Social justice warriors take their concerns so far that paradoxically it becomes as (or even more) insulting as the 'flawed' outlooks it purposes to fix -- the underlying assumption of their beliefs is that 'victims' of micro aggression not only have no perseverance, but don't have the ability to develop perseverance, and shouldn't have to develop any perseverance.

As far as equating you with them goes, the entire complaint was that social justice warriors have no skin, no restraint, and no sense.

Then we go back to the bottom line: the content in dispute is an infinitesimal amount of content in a game that is primally meant to be a dungeon crawler with A&AD 2nd Ed rules.

Beamdog probably should have exercised slightly better form in their handling of material old fans hold in high reverence, but that doesn't justify those fans taking their enthusiasm for the game to the level of a cult.

You fuckers keep fighting as if your arguments are mutually exclusive. They're both right, two lines of SJW bullshit aren't enough to ruin a huge ass game, but at the same time you keep swallowing these small tidbits and they'll grow more and more until they're actually the larger part of the script.

I think you need to look at the rest of the game and the devs' stance on all this to judge if it's worth it or not. Considering Beamdog has made it clear already that they do have a resident SJW bullshitter that clearly said will keep pushing all these stuff on their work as long as she lives... :M

I'll probably grab Dragonspear when it's cheap enough though to take a proper look

Amber Scott is supposedly no longer working as a writer. She was promoted to marketing shortly before Dragonspear's release. So, she may not be able to.

He actually does but you are too butthurt to reason.

A few lines here and there, which clearly clash with the tone and spirit of the original material and display an inept disposition of the Beamdog people involved, but otherwise insignificant in the big picture as opposed to the storm in a teapot that the people are raising.

If that little content which has no overall bearing on the rest of the game is enough to ruin the entire game for you, other qualities of the game notwithstanding, you have larger issues than the devs have of shoveling their progressivism with inept writing.

It wasn't the sjw silliness that made Sods terrible, it was the overall game design, the linearity, the horrible writing, the silly plot, the shit combat and encounters, the Ui.

The only thing thing that this expansion did with competence were some of the backgrounds.

I'm pretty anti-SJW though, for the most part -- especially after going back to college to change my career. Place is ground zero.

Problem is my method of resistance entails not being triggered by them, because getting triggered suggests weak nerves, and SJWs want to crack the world in two in order to ensure nobody has their nerves tested.

Eventually I am going to react, but they're going to have to push the agenda way further than SoD did.

The end of every place
A game made by people who still use 'level up' in their ads, and who signed a (definitively one-sided) contract with Hasbro in order to get the D&D license. Hmm.

Predication time. I foresee a RTWP game modeled after the great hero of yesteryear - Bioware during the Age of DA:O. The system will be 'inspired by' the 5e ruleset, so it will have enough D&D elements to 'feel like' D&D. And it will be a world filled with a cast of snarky one-liner, modern characters, just like the barista at your local coffee bar. And of course, it will set in and around the Sword Coast, so that all the nerds can re-re-re-visit their favorite places and favorite people person (Drizzt) from the D&D universe. And it will be filled with lots of romanceables, which Beamfog have repeatedly shown is their favorite part of the Bioware games, and the part they devote most of their energy to.

The pieces are already fitting together. Beamdog already has a famous Bioware writer, and a proven track record of having a very loose definition of what D&D means (they level-scaled hell, after all), just like their Biowarian heroes of yore from the Age of DA:O. And the bard sings:

Gather round you nerds
And all of you spergs
'Cause there's news of your favorite thing.

You'll be delving into lore
About trannies galore
As well as crying over gamma's lost ring
[chant] *3 times*

No turns, you loons
'Cause those aren't for goons,
They're a relic of the boring past.

'Wait. Fighters have spells!?!'
And that really smells?
Don't worry, we'll call them special feats.

And you'll be flying around
-oh wait, you won't!
Because we really don't
have the investment to pay for that.

And we'll have a joke or two
At the expense of you
And everything you hold dear.

But it'll be D&D
At least to me
And everyone else who never read the book.

It's hard not to get "triggered" when every venue of entertainment have been tainted by this shit. Especially considering this is a highly regarded series of RPG games, just to have it fouled by this modern dogma when "progressives" pick it up to continue the series.

Just so damn tired of it.
