YEAH THERE WAS AND THE PLOT IS THAT YOU PUT DOWN A GOBLIN LIBERATION MOVEMENT. also the goblins are jewish stand ins. also there a good goblin who says that no matter how much discrimination there is you cant use violence to defend yourself. also the goblins are evil because their culture has a different understanding of labor and capitalism. also blood libel. qnd happy elf slaves that love being slaves and HERES THE KICKER the lead producer for most of the game was a far right chud who made gamergate videos year before getting hired. he was fired after he said something racist I think. i think about this game often while ripping my hair out.

In Baldur's Gate 3 you can prevent a tiefling from doing a revenge killing on a goblin or even lead a goblin raid on a druid grove to show those stupid tree-huggers what for

a much better game.edit to clarify i did not play the terf game i hate watched a bunch of videos about it because i was shocked by the antisemitism.

Sadly if you want to play as a goblin you have to mod the game

You can also play as a half-orc but not an orc

Normalize greenskin social integration you fucking cowards todd

Neither hobbits nor gnomes have a default origin story, which I consider half-pint erasure.

In addition to all that stuff, the story was just straight up yawn-worthy boring

yes it was sooooo basic, it definitely seems like a story for little kids (makes sense), but what little kids is buying a 60$ game? who is this for?

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Games have been $60 off and on for 3 decades now, so honestly, any kid who has an n64 or above has been getting $60 games for quite some time now. It took me 6 months to save up for Jet Force Gemini, I’ll never forget how disappointed I was with it after getting home.

god damn that sounds crazy I dont think Ive played a 60 dollar game till this year. not counting pirating. I guess ive spent that much on the sims.
