Astarion + Pronouns in character creation justifies the hate.

Can I transform him into a squirrel and use imprisonment on him while at abyss? I did it with hexxat in BG2 ""EE""
Jokes aside, most of my criticisms towards BG3 like the UI and slowness got solved. Other problems are from 5E and not from Larian.

it's a long running D&D campaign run by a guy named Matthew Mercer, who is IMO an above average dungeon master, but his style of D&D feels more like a group therapy psycho drama

There is not a game without negative feels. Period. Maybe with one exception: forums of specific games or studios that immediately ban all critics. You know why all has its critics and rightfully so? Because no game is perfect and some are flawed more than others.
BG are not criticised only "because rtwp". There a lot of other valid criticizm, especially about BG1. Also these days they are liked on the Dex, the positions in Codex' top lists show it. It used to be seriously disliked, but that was long ago.
Arcanum is not shit - but its combat IS. There is no way around this. I liked Arcanum as a lot of people here. Many think combat is shit despite liking the game.
Fallout is probably the single most revered game on the Codex, for better or worse. Very few people criticise it. I can't even think of ONE person who thinks Fallout is decline of Wasteland. Perhaps there is. One or two. Literally - one or two.
Etc, etc... In short, what you wrote is garbage.
So are a lot of things in life that are nonetheless disliked or even considered unacceptable. Being "optional" is not a magic word that makes every issue go away. And you would know this if you thought for even a moment about all "optional" things that you dislike.

Is this a screenshot from the next Owlcuck game?

No. They're going to make a mandatory Ork+human romance though.

I was obviously only making a mockery of the fact that one can't be enthusiastic about a game on the codex without anyone jumping in to tell you why the game is shit and you are a faggot.
But yeah, I had a hard time coming up with even a faux reason for why Fallout 1 would be bad. Same with Deus Ex, is there anyone who can tell me why Deus Ex is shit?

Codexers are way too forgiving of bugs in classic games that have fan patches. This applies more to Troika, but Fallout 1 and Deus Ex are still pretty rough in some areas.

I think you can poke holes in all the great RPGs, but they all had one thing in common; they had a standard of writing. That standard hasn't been seen in over a decade. And now we get to see games with modern writing 'standards' called a sequel, when they lack that basic thing we always took for granted.
I know there's a difference between the writing of BG2 and PST. That's not the comparison. What I mean is the writing standard we took for granted in a game like IWD is so much better than what I've seen in BG3, that it's like comparing the LOTR films to Amazon's LOTR series.

And that standard was Chris Avellone.

According to the anti-Larian spergs, BG1 was the standard we must measure all future games against. Especially in regard to narrative, since Larian began their game with too flashy an intro.
Of course, beginning Wrath of the Tranny with a level 1 character surviving an encounter with a demon lord is just fine to many of them, so I guess this only applies to games with Baldur's Gate in the title.

How many times I have to say? Kingmaker is far more popular than WoTR in codex https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...the-righteous-which-one-do-you-prefer.143586/

Kingmaker is a piece of shit too.

No, is not. Kingmaker is quite interesting. You start as someone who gets a quest "go kill bandits and if you succeed, I will make you a noble" and you start to ascend from nothing from a poor backward noble into a high noble, into a king and explore dangerous mysterious ancient curses in the way.
- No Astarion/Hexxat tier companions

lol. what about the orc nigger and his elf whore that proposition the player for a polyamorous relationship?
And while you can kill them, doing so will gimp your game because of the advisor system.
Except for the gnome you're paired with at the start of the game who can fake his own death, polymorph, teleport etc.
Are you still crying about this after all these years? Yes, you are.
I guess you forgot about the bandit army invasion during Kingmaker's tutorial, with frost giants smashing their way through and the multi-caster ritual at the end. You're competing to become the lord of a land, and there is an enemy nation that's trying to sabotage you from the start and yet somehow you think this is a low-key start like a bunch of adventurers meeting in a bar.
If they could afford it, they would. Owlcuck fills their games with fetish crap. It wouldn't be a joke if they did it either.
Trannyfinder is a shit ruleset for spreadsheet spergs.
Get a life, dude.
All of your criticisms of BG3 are meaningless bullshit, and/or things Owlcuck is guilty of x10. The only reason you like Owlcuck and not Larian is that your autism got offended by Larian at some point or another and you can't let it go.
