The devs of this game were way too horny. It's uncomfortable.
I'm not a puritan or anti sex or anything like that. But does anyone feel like this game is way, way too horny?

Imagine if you were playing a DnD campaign, and the DM kept having characters make (often super aggressive and BDSM) sexual advances on players. Even if the players didn't want them. What would you think of that DM? What would that say about the DM's regard for the comfort of their players?

I want to play dungeons and dragons. I don't want to play sexual harassment simulator. I am 4 hours into a campaign and already have had 4 super aggressive sexual advances on me. That ♥♥♥♥ is not cool. It takes away from the RP, and makes me feel like I'm participating in some game developer's sexual fantasy against my will. Even when you say no, characters keep throwing themselves at you. I'll play a meet and f*ck game if that's what I want.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you guys are all just so horny that this is what you want in the game. If that's the case, I find that sad. But I have a hunch most players just tolerate the weird sex in this game rather than prefer it.

Either way, it just has some icky vibes that really get in the way of a solid RP experience. If there's a mod that removes sex so that well adjusted members of society can play this game, let me know. I miss the days when this nonsense had to be modded INTO games.

okay, i can only imagine what you find movies like
I've never been in a movie where a character attempted to r*pe me like Gale does.
i mean, he doesn't, cause if you say no he doesn't try do anything.

but if you really think the stuff gale says as rape, then honestly, i am absolutely terrified of what you find normal in other media.

I know you can interrupt orks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at least, is there anything else like that in the game that's external to party relationships? I find it hard to believe that there aren't multiple other sexual situations in the world and quests given that one instance is so blatant.

He uses sex magic on you to increase your odds of having sex with him lmao, if you don't see the problem then it's a good thing women avoid you

the magic is a perfromance, it doesn't compel you, do good tryx2.

you make it obvious you argue in bad faith if you think "wow, a man dancing to make themself look good" is somehow sketchy.

Just archaic? They make slings look like the future of warfare.

Why is that "movie grade"? My first threesome stemmed from a public, offhand, semi-satirical comment made to a friend and her boyfriend.

The devs weren't too horny. People are just too reserved.

Not wanting every single character you meet to make aggressive sexual advances on you is too reserved? Spoken like someone with no concept of boundaries. How many people have you made advances on irl that were too reserved?

Man, your scene must've been quite different from mine because not once did Gale put his hands on me & force me down.
Roofieing women is okay by this logic then

Not wanting unwanted sexual advances is Puritan values. Spoken like a true degenerate. So glad I never have to see people like you when I go outside
nobody wants unwanted advanced, thats what unwanted means.

but good news: its a romance system, if you do not want them, you say no and it stops.

you see people like me everywhere, its normal to be sexual my dude lmao.

He literally asks if you want to. If you say no, he fecks off.
You are courted once or twice by characters you have rapport with. This is nothing new, and has been in almost every game in this genre I've ever played, the well known being BioWare titles.

If you say no to any single character, it stops. Going to a concert with a woman IRL a single time will have you hear more flirting than in the 40 hours I've played this game.

I'm not telling you you're not allowed to dislike raunchy flirting in the game, but I am telling you that if you're too "puritan" to go through the effort of saying "no" when someone propositions you for sex, you're too puritan to be playing games where you commit mass murder.
