probably just a nazi that's too scared to fully reveal themselves (1488) so they only reveal themselves partially (88) to keep it ambiguous lel
they're nowhere to be found when stuff like religious, traditionalist propaganda is "shoved down peoples' throat"
i'm still getting baldur's gate 3 ~~just probably once it's in a sale~~
Being born in the late 80s is a minefield of "around my age or Nazi?" when it comes to user names and emails.
well also look out for reich-wing rhetoric ~~and/or hostile tone~~ in their speech. if you find any - nazi.
😤
Based on my experience about 60 hours in, you would need to explicitly choose to be gay to see really any gay romance in this game. Seems like this guy's version of having gay propaganda shoved down your throat is simply the presence of the choice to be gay
wait you can't be bisexual in bg3?
You absolutely can slut it up.
I see what you did there
lmao what
your character can be bisexual, all the romance options are into whatever.
Mostly, Lae'zel does not share.
i meant more that all the companions were DTF not that they'd wanna be in a polycule
i fucked like all my companions and then cut it down to minthara and astarion when they got too needy (problematic evil lady in skin tight black armor, and sassy gay vampire boy)
why is this game so fucking horny lmao
It's staying true to actual DnD.
lmao wait are you serious?
(i never got to play dnd in my life)
There is no limit to what you can do really. It's up to the DM to build narrative around your decisions. If there is some character you want to try and bang, you can try to bang them. It is pretty much a rite of passage in any DnD game that someone has sex whilst all the other players sit around and sremoved at them laying on the moves. Lol at the auto-filter removing one of my words. That isn't a bad word you fools!
Play D&D long enough and you'll inevitably have a campaign that features some level of erotic roleplay, usually in orgy form.
You'll also learn why good DMs tend to just fade-to-black that sort of thing, because unless everyone playing is really into that sort of thing it's going to get cringey very quickly.
that's the thing though - i don't have anyone to play dnd with 😭😭😭
good news it that a lot of people run pick up groups online! my former DM had recruited from discord, reddit, facebook, all over the place. but like with any gaming hobby there are super cringe people out there so it might take time and effort to find a group you like. my advice if you wanna try is to just take it slow and if anyone crosses your boundaries just peace out, there are plenty of folks out there who want to make their tables inviting to everyone.
it's infinitely better at an actual table of course, but online is still fun.
I'm really into that sort of thing and i still only want to play these parts via DMs with the few players i can comfortably do this with.
To be clear, I'm also really into that sort of thing, and I absolutely would never do it sitting at a table or over a Zoom call or whatever with a group. If you were running a campaign with your polycule, sure, go nuts, but otherwise it's just squick all around.
Arguably the best reason to have a polycule
Why do all these homosexuals keep sucking my cock?
Reminds me of the reactionary outrage around the Sims 4 gender options. All the fine-tuning gender settings are hidden in another menu past the basic male/female toggle, but that didn't stop chuds from clicking on it and getting mad because they saw a bunch of completely optional settings for different kinds of gender expression.
They are mad about the different colored hair. Thats “gay propaganda” for them.
Steal it
I could, but:
🥺🥺🥺
you forgot one: updates
this game is going to have a ton of updates and sometimes that's a pain in the ass to deal with when pirating
are the updates going to add new content into the game? ~~instead of just being bugfixes~~
I think they're adding in a way to change how your character looks, like a magic mirror or something, maybe more shit (here's hoping for the rest of the classes/spells/races from 5e!!). But as of right now, mostly bugfixes, and when a game is 100+gb there's gonna be a few bugs.
One of the bugs might be why Minthara is missing so much content compared to the rest. Or it was cut. If it it was cut for time I could easily see them finishing it for the anniversary update.
try to not spoil me with too much as i just got to act 2 (60 hours played btw). but i have read things about people saying the later chapters seem bare in comparison to the earlier content.
I’m 80 hours in and just got to where a familiar face shows up in act 2.
A lot of people on the subreddit are complaining about Minthara basically having no dialogue during long rests and those are the top two hypotheses as to why.
I think there’s less long rest dialogue if you long rest a lot in act 1 since there’s a finite amount of it to spread around (basically the camp dialogue equivalent of rushing through as a byproduct of using that mechanic as the “flow regulator”).
I’ve also heard Halsin isn’t as fleshed out (figuratively only ofc) outside the romance since he was added as a companion late in early access due to fan horniness lathing it into existence. This follows, havnt heard a peep from him since the camp party.
spoiler
He has a short quest chain in act 2 and some dialogue about the events that caused the shadow curse. I can't recall if he does anything in act 3.That makes sense. Most of the complaints were probably people who didn’t know about the way follower vs companion worked.
i think there is definitely some issue with Timing. i've read that earlier dev posts (from Act 1 EA era) that said things like romances would be complicated/take time to get to. meanwhile Gale wants to get down immediately after a day or two (not hating just kinda wild how practicing magic went
). maybe bareback fucking isn't "romance" or maybe it is? if i compare it to idk like mass effect, those relationships took a lot of time to get anywhere near 
territory (and those games didn't have a penis slider).
edit: tho the game in general is just super horny so idk
yeah, I think Karlach might be the only one thats true for, but I'm not running a full party.
the magic lesson, that's one smooth wizard. Given who he learned from though, it follows.
I would not be
to find out most of the 
s mad about the inclusivity of it were caught of guard by the magic lesson dialogue and got angry about the option being there.
I liked those games, but so many RPGs treat sex as the reward for completing a companion questline. It is a nice change of pace and there is some variety in speeds (every speedrun is going to be the same character). The variety is nice, but the horniness overton window might benefit from our volcel police opening a Belgian office.

Its true. Act 3 is like oh boy, something else regarding bugs.
