Is it possible to romance more than one companion at the same time?
Is it possible to romance more than one companion at the same time?

Since romance is ruined on this game for straight men who aren't submissive, I was wondering if at least some fun can be had with polyfidelity?

Shadowheart, the tefling barbarian and the lady from bg2 would actually be a good party class wise with my male caster...

And romancing all three of them would make up for my lack of chemistry with any one of them lol... maybe it will make up for it just a little bit. It would certainly be funny at least.

And since I'm hearing this game caters to so many "different" romantic preferences, is poli possible???

They said that some companions are open to polygamy.

so many people so triggered over the romance is actually hilarious. Are you that void of it in real life that video games now trigger you because you can't force someone to fall in love with you and get a sex cut scene? Holy crap.

Imagine shaming someone for wanting representation.
It's almost like the Left is only tolerant when it comes to their own agenda.

On Topic: I'm not sure if there will be anyone thats Poly officially, but, Mods always get introduced that disable romance flags allowing you to romance multiple people. Sometimes its tricky to do, requiring multiple mods based on which characters you want to romance. But it is absolutely possible and it absolutely will be modded into the game eventually.

normally i'd just say do multiple playthroughs but, you said you dont really care any of them, so, I get it. theres no trad waifus here lol. Thats why I feel the best situation for straight dudes is to play a female and get some of that minthara action, but, again, shes the same personality as the other women. They are all pretty much the same, either gay or extremely masculine.

It is what it is. Just enjoy what we get.
They say Shadowheart gets nicer the higher your approval is. Though I doubt it'll be as in depth as Dragon Age was.

I sincerely hope so! Fingers crossed for a Shadowheart/Minthara sandwich...

How so? Do you mean the sex scene with the drow female? Drow are canonically into femdom, so no surprise. And you do show Minthara who's the boss when thwarting her assassination attempt. Or is it having to pander to Shadowheart's sob story? Doesn't make you submissive to listen to a woman's woes now and then, especially considering she is your comrade-in-arms.

Nah, I'm cautiously optimistic about the romances. Welcome diversion from all the murdering my party will be doing.

I'm also black.... I guess I get tired of being left out of so much of the media I like...

Hey let's make the Lord of the rings trilogy... Black characters don't exist here!

Hey let's make rings of power where we mock the inclusion of black characters but including them in the worst possible way, because "we" don't actually care about racial diversity. We are just using black people to take peoples focus off the feminist self insert we centered the show around... Things like black inclusion in movies and also BLM have become jokes now, because of "us"? Who cares "we" will still use them and LGBTQ to hide behind any time anyone challenges our agenda... In fact we will groop black people and LGBTQ together so much that it becomes a trend to always virtue signal one when you virtue signaling the other so now, when people bring up one for political reasons they always bring up the other .... Because peoples perception can be screwed with like that...

Hey let's make the DND video game everyone has been waiting for... Wait it's the late 2010s so we have to mark of that "check list" so we can apeas "them".... Unlikable masculine female lead? CHECK!... gays and blacks... CHECK!... ...

hey let's include romance... Ok break out the check list... ... ... Ok done! Did we forget to include anyone? ... Eh no one important because they aren't on the "checklist"

Me: aw cool I can make a character that looks like me on a fantasy game. That's a rarety. I can count the inclusion of black people in fantasy stories in my entire on two hands... Those sjws are annoying but at least accomplished one good thing for me in the midst of all there power trip manipulations of modern media...

Me: (finding out about the romance scenes and seeing my characters options for them) damnit! I may be black, but I'm also a straight man who isn't a beta... Let me talk you about what it's like to targeted on BOTH sides of the bs sjw agenda... It's eye opening to say the least...

But yeah sure "sensitive" or whatever you want to paint my character as for not agreeing with what you want or like 🤦🏿‍♂️

I have a real life relationship. For me it's not about the actual scene. It's about the reasoning behind who they offer up for the scene...

Why did they choose to do things that way. Who are they catering to???

What does certain parts of society have against men like me to where their agenda is being pushed into ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ video games I play just so I can get mocked for pointing it out?????

Yeah I stay away from eather political side they both be on some bs imo ...

But yeah I meant all at the same time. I wasn't expecting 4way h-scenes or anything just wanted to see if it would work... Like if I go in for one, would they block the options for any others.

And playing a female character is never an option for a straight dude... Not me at least. Not if I make my own character...

Do you really need to ask these questions?

The answer is simple - emasculation. Unmanning. They don't want men, they want sissies.

In Viking society, unmanning was a dueling offense. I.e., you could (and would have to) challenge to a fight to the death anybody who put your masculinity in question that way. In modern times, you could still get a face full of fist for casting doubt on someone's manhood. But that is of course not permitted today. Even resisting it is not permitted today.

I'm talking about their personalities. None of them are sweet feminine women and shadowheart in particular communicates in a way where you basically have to bend to what she wants and act how she wants or else she noticably acts negative towards you. That's a social domination tactic she is using, and it's very noticeable to someone who doesn't like to be controlled... And I noticed that tends to try to end every conversation by giving the player a command or list of commands. At least early on. The other companions don't seem to be written that way. It's just her. She acts like some women I know in rl. Their always trying to passive-aggresively gain and be in control.

It's off-putting to me, so with her and the other "options" offered for straight male characters... It just really makes me wonder why the chosen to write the female companions this way??
