Has the whole game gone gay? *spoilers*

[Muado 93]

Literally every dude at this Refugee party wants to sleep with my male protagonist.

-I talk to Gale and he's all like "I wanna show you something magical", I literally thought he meant a fireworks show for me and my companions at first....boy was I wrong. Cost me points with Shadowheart I can tell you that much.

-Astarion's just brushing his hair and giving me a smirk and outright says he wants some "fun". But I kinda expected it from him, tbh.

-Even the druid I JUST MET is all like "Well under other circumstances I would've" and then proceeds to give me the 'F me eyes', like bro! I just asked if you wanted to chill and grab a drink cause it's a damn party!

I guess nobody really has a type in this game do they? It's just a free for all, ♥♥♥♥ em' all.

Edit: For those who think one simple "no" for Gayle or any other character is gonna suffice.

Third Rejection:

Even after the initial rejection during the refugee party. You STILL have to either keep brushing him off throughout the story, or decide to kill him.

^I even tested this one the first time and accepted, thinking he got the message after I said I was with Shadowheart. He didn't, my character just automatically walked up and sat reeeeaal close to him while watching the stars with him talking about "timelessness of lovers" and giving me "the look" while talking about fantasies.



I'm actually baffled that people can still defend the romance system in this game and continue saying I'm leading him on. I have rejected this guy FOUR times in ONE playthrough!

Imagine being this insecure but with that profile picture. Crazy.

I'm sorry, does he not have the right to play the game as he sees fit? Kind of judgmental exclusivity on your part.

The ease of difficulty in getting a gay romance is basically the one-button romance joke in Saints Row 4.

In that game, at the click of a button you can easily have romance scene with any dude in your group.

Oh man, am I being judgmental? I had no clue. /s
Yeah, I don't care.

I'm sure someone will throw shade at me for this, but just an observation from someone that's been playing games since Atari, reading books, and watching movies: When any minority demographic is over-represented in a story, there is an agenda afoot. In this case, this story is perfectly pegged in the "wokeism unchained" category.

To expand on this; I'm also an author, I've written 5 books (fiction), and stories are most receptive and believable when it represents what the reader is familiar with. Even while writing fantasy, the authors are usually very careful to ensure that the characters are relatable, even if the setting is outlandish. Some components of a story must be able to resonate with the reader (or in this case, the player) for it to be readable.

In this game's case, the company seemed to choose woke authors that have never written a bestseller before to a real authors that can sell a work of fiction as immersive and relatable.

The characters in this story aren't relatable at all. Every character is bi, and they all have daddy issues. It would be the most unrelatable cast I've ever seen if it were in paperback form. I'm sure this is a dream come true for the LGBTQ+ community though but not a single person in that community can say that the representation of the cast is realistic or believable. Even they, if they're being honest and objective, would say there is an agenda afoot.

Well yeah, you do. You commented on how he chooses to play the game, then replied to me. I'd say that constitutes as caring. The point here is that he actually doesn't care about what you think about his play style choices and profile pic. But either way, you do.

Any money to Larian is now confirmed to go towards woke stuff. I think something happened during developement, the EA didn't seem nearly as woke as the end product ended up being. The safest bet is to abandon Larian and hope another company springs forth in a decade or so.

Indeed.
Act 1 was masterful, the only woke thing was in the game is that your male character could have a female voice, and visca versa. That’s it.

Now at the end of act 2 and during act 3, they constantly remind you that being straight is either non-existent, or minority.
Bet my balls on it that something happened during halfway of development.

Not to mention that act 3 is full of bugs. And annoying things such as the Elfsong tavern “camp”. They literally put in only one song which makes your ears bleed after hours of gameplay…

Ideology character creator:

3+ genders (Pronouns)
Genital customization (girl with boy bits or vise versa)
Make a female human character with a beard

BG3 has no straight or gay companions. They are all bi sexual, they all prefer the player, and the only hurdle for the player is filling a like meter semi hidden in the menus. Some will instantly throw themselves at the Player Character. A few different players told a story of trying to be straight or gay, but then companions that were not the sex they were pursuing were hitting on them. It is almost like the game knows what you aren't interested in and so it has those characters pursue. Maybe the goal is to make the player bisexual. Strange.

Older RPGs like Dragon Age had NPCs with preferences, the player had to meet the companions criteria before they would sleep with them. DA:Inquisition had a female elf that was a lesbian, so a male PC could not sleep with her. There were straight and bi sexual companions as well.

Yeah and that was good. people need to understand we don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about being gay or whatever but when it's as strange and unrealistic as it is in game it's just awful

bro keeps choosing the gay options and blames the game.

And Bro if you had something that you Hated in the game you be complaining yourself just look at the upvoted thread complaining about it.

I've not chose a single gay option and they still throw themselves at me with no option to say "I'm straight" or "we're only friends leave me alone"

[Penguin Liberation Front]

"Everyone is throwing themselves at my character"
Clearly the default canon player class is Bard

[robilar5500]

Stop choosing relationship options lol.

You'd think that in a dialogue heavy game, players would actually pay attention to the dialogue.

Alternatively, go with the flow. A good sausage will set your mind at ease.
