Go woke, go rich.

I'm amazed how much of this western wokeness is in this game. It sours an otherwise good experience and I am always tempted if I should deinstall this pile of propaganda or continue. Shame. Pillars of Eternity's writing, while cucked sometimes, was based in comparison. This coming from a russian studio is pure decline.

Wokelism is in fact lucrative, sort of, in the short term, in the same way ostentatiously shitting on tradition has always been lucrative - never been a bear market in souls - but unlike with Nike of whatever the Wokelism while oppressively in your face is in fact window dressing on what is a great game mechanically with good stories for the male protagonists and another somewhat brave if overly samizdat main theme of women in leadership fucking things up for everybody.

All this talk about wokeness and all that i want to do is to kill some demons god damn it.

which would be most fun, if there would be a sense of dread and urgency about all this with your companions, but everyoneis too busy telling you on first meet-up what their sexual preferences are.

Already at chapter 5 on core. Wow such hard. Looking forward to uninstalling this game once I slogged through it.

If you dislike the game , why slog throught at all?

Uh because I paid like 50 euros for it like a fucking idiot? I didn't pay enough attention to the warning signs to pass the 2h checkmark for a refund?

So you've wasted your money and now you're wasting your time?
If you don't like it, just cut your losses. Or at least wait for some patches and/or mods. Otherwise it's looks like masochism.

I remember that liberal argument about homophobes being latent homosexuals. If this is true, then the beta-backers and beta-testers are just color-, gender-, and LGBTQ-blind people, but the angry newcomers for some reason are not.

I understand that LGBTQ-movement is hard pressed in Russia and persecuted in Turkey (Bulgaria); but where do the rest of you come from? Southern states? Africa? Iran? You can't go to a gay date and instead torture yourselves discussing words written on your screens?

It's actually sad that the current situation created a sort of mental allodynia with regards to SJW / "bigoted" etc content. If people read / watch the books/ movies from 80-ies or 90-ies, I'm pretty sure more than half of them would be considered "too woke" / "too bigoted" because people trained themselves to tack on the various "dogwhistles" / cues and can't fathom that 99% of the populace does not care about their particular cultural shtick and so on. That's how we get various jewish organisations in Germany blaming Rammstein for "antisemitism" in Deutschland (while in fact it's very conciliatory song about "history as-is") and people chasing ghosts of chauvinist male pigs/ SJWs in the games.

Owlcat is expertly playing both sides of the war.

They include token wokeism, which is in truth, a false flag op, as the woke façade is peeled back after a few chapters, revealing the rotten core. The mob never sees this.

Codex 2012 Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Dead State Project: Eternity Codex USB, 2014 Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath
Is "Now that Owlcats have gained enough popularity, they can ditch Pozzfinder and make their own BASED instead of WOKE game, perhaps W40K campaign" cope? I fear it's just a cope and company has contracted woke virus. Owner reminds me of Feargus, Mishulin of Old Josh Sawyer

They are Russian Obsidian

Obsidian had their occasional gay character for ticking boxes and pleasing the multi-color-haired audience who is in it for CRPG romance, but not even both PoE's combined with DLCs frontload that heavy and blatant amount of shameless pandering LGTBQ*+ propaganda on you as WotR does. I guess the AP name is quite meta in that regard. It truely is the wrath of the self proclaimed righteous, "gifting" the grognards with one of the most fun CRPG gameplays combined with the most woke setting and NPC design. Which way will it be western men?

Pathfinder is woke from the get go and we all knew what we will get with the games. Although I think that few here really expected this much wokeness with the sequel, but still the underlying game is good.

Obsidian on the other hand with PoE was supposed to be the savior of the genre and make a true sequel of BG. Finally a game were no pesky publisher will interfere with their vision and they can do what they want. Then they stabbed in a back a fan due a random tranny bitching on a twitter and released a boring, bland, mediocre at best game.

I can excuse a certain level of wokeness but betrayal never.

Kingmaker has "long tail sales" based on the word of mouth. Wrath will probably follow much more traditional model with burst sales at the release and fast decline afterwards. I have no idea which scheme is more profitable.

I wishlisted the Season Pass, but will buy it on sale. Or with some ultimate GOTY version of the game.

Really? Huh i must have missed when Daeran said that he's likes man and getting fucked in his a-hole while giving a blow for two man at same time.
Or when Wenduag said ''Trans right'' or when Seelah said that she's super into women.. I'm going to replay act 1 and report back here with a few screen shots on that. :M

For real, when i get my Mythic path, all the stuff with Aeon , Trickester and Demon path dialogue choices was pretty sick.

That true or the cope to end all copes? Right now I am under the impression of this game being either a satire of current year western rpgs or a game with ambitions of catering more to the western market and henceforth the over emphasize and frontload of woke talking points and NPCs.
