For every thread about the romance

[Call Sign: Raven]

I just see people insecure with themselves.

Instead of complaining about what you see in a game, you should be asking yourself how you let yourself get in a position where you allow a video game to affect you like that.

You should be thankful that Larian is teaching you this lesson about yourself, so you can try to overcome it.

Although I don't think this sort of content should take the stage unless you go searching for it. (this includes hetero-normative content) I also think these people do go looking for it and are probably struggling with some turmoil within themselves which makes their buttshurt

The only character so far that has made advances toward me without me seeking them out is the Gith and it kind of makes sense for her character.

I've seen a couple of dialogue options with the others that made me roll my eyes a little, but guess what I didn't choose those options. Just don't be gay bro, and you wont be....

[LJ-the-brave]

You are right Op. Thank you for you wise statement. (Approval rate over 50, Op is mandated to ask me to do the seks with them every night).

[Zanaki]

My only issue is I wanna be bros with my companions, I don't wanna be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with everyone. I'd much prefer it if it was something you deliberately sought for and not something that happens with everyone.

Yep, well said.

Can't imagine how exhausting it is to be so fragile that a video game brings up the most vile and hateful instincts in these people.

I guess it's easier to complain about woke and gay instead of going to therapy.

Come on Op. Where is your mandatory statement hitting on me for being nice? I thought Larian teach you not to be insecure and spread your legs with every nice person.

So many different and creepy ways for pervs to say, "Shhh, let me do this to you." No thanks, weirdo.

I am broke on points, but this is gold and deserves 1000000 points.

Insecure? In a medieval even if fantasy setting I can bet you heads would roll even for slightest flirt with straight guys in many cases.

It's disgusting and insulting from straight point of view.

Some people just don't want sex in their game, man.

People can be different, they can have different tastes, and thanks to the wonder of digital technology we can create options that allow people to engage with the content that they want without having to engage with the content that they don't.

Stop doing this faux-psychologizing trying to gaslight people. There is NOTHING wrong with wanting to turn off sexually explicit material in your own personal media.

Tell me you know nothing about human history without telling me you know nothing about human history.

You can turn it off, it's literally one of the first things the game mentions when you boot it up. Before brightness settings even. Other issues?

"It's your fault if unwanted sexual advances make you uncomfortable!"

That's some legit creepy, obsessive stalker ♥♥♥♥ dude.

You actually can't turn it off. You can turn off nudity, but EVERY SINGLE player companion will sexually proposition the player MULTIPLE times. To me this just makes them feel poorly written sex-dolls designed to please a certain kind of person first and be a character second.

Also, I just don't want to be sexually propositioned by video game characters.

[LJ-the-brave]

Op, I'm still waiting. I'm of the opinion of let live and I think you should not be insecure as well. I am waiting patiently for you to court me in a pleasant way as Larian taught you.

It's called feeling disgust at what you see.
Same kind of feeling when you Google things you shouldn't, like tripophobia or blue waffle. Most normal people feel the exact same kind of disgust when they see gay characters in games.
And no, it's never going to be truly accepted.

You can:
1) Not respond or decline to those sexual advances.
2) Skip the sex scenes, nobody is forcing you to watch them.
3) Not play the game.
4) Go to therapy.

You're welcome, problem solved.
