Karlach `fingered but whole` my male character in ACT 3.
Second sex scene, after a date, am I the only one who encountered that kind of ?bug? I hope

You aren't the only one. Made me reload to an earlier save to see if it was just a bug. It's not. They were just to lazy to put in animations where YOU are the male. It essentially always make it seem like the player character is a female no matter what. Made me delete the campaign and start a new one so I could romance someone else.

Funny part is I'm not straight. I swing both ways and even for me it was VERY shocking forcing player's male characters to basically be forcefully entered without consent. If it's a bug they need to fix it. If it's how it is supposed to be that way then they still need to fix it.

This is a non-issue.

Normal people: "This is HILARIOUS!"

Now, should they "fix" this? Yea. They should. Or at the very least inform you up front about what you are about to get.

Everyone in the game talks like a modern person though?

Oh that is not quite true. Apart from some phrases like "hardcore absolutists" and "Baldurs Gate is the most diverse city in Faerun, we should welcome them with PRIDE!", there are none that speak 21st century slang in every line, like Carlach does.

They really all do though, even slang and modern phrases. The only two who do not are Wyll who mostly does but occasionally does light "reenactor" talk (which is itself modern) and Withers who does nothing but reenactor talk.

It's wierd that you think this is isolated to Karlach. Maybe because she swears more than the others?

This thread is full of both.

It seems merely being a straight man these days is toxic this or phobic that. How many times have people told you're they're tired of this swan song you're singing all too often?

Really getting tiring hearing all these demonizations.
but you're not listening to anyone. you're - ironically - so far up your own arse with your view that butt = instagay you're not listening to anyone who's had sex tell you otherwise

Halsin can say the phrase awooga depending on your dislogue with him, that's quite recent.

Karlach. You were close. Sort of.

And it's a fantasy game. Not a historical game. Technically nobody in Faerun talks like anything because Faerun doesn't exist.

Larry, this folk are talking about individuals not wiping because "it's gay". I think the wording is fitting.
"Completely fabricated" is another bit of fitting wording.

I wish it was completely fabricated.

Yeah, it just doesn't seem to me as much (at all really) with any other chars. But her with teh "motherf**ker that saves the world" , "f**k me", "soldier" etc its just too blatant. The word "f**k" aka Fornication under consent of king has become a slang much later in history than the tolkinian "medieval europe" from where Ed Greenwood and DnD have stolen their setting and lore from (mostly).

It is a "fantasy" world, and not a docuseries, I grant you guys that, but it has always been felt as more of a medieval than sci fi or current day fantasy to most of the player base me included. Karlach belongs more in Cyberpunk 2077 than in BG3 is how i feel.

That would probably be the case. For some "reasons" these straight guys seem to keep wondering into situations that make them uncomfortable. Then its threads of pearl clutching and "think of the children"...
Because they need that sweet euphoria ;)

is there a mod that swaps the roles? like karlach is the one walking up to you and getting the finger?
why a mod? Just choose the right dialogue and karlach will be bottom.

imagine game devs to change a game because some few snowflakes demand things while the majority is ok with it :sacrificed:

Consent.

Haven't gotten there myself so not sure how this scene plays out, but it does make me want to reconsider Karlach.

If something like that is coming up the player should have a dialogue option to be like "Hey, whoa, I'm not comfortable with this" or "Exciting, lets try it." sort of thing wouldn't be amiss.
