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.

lol True. If half of time they spend on sex scenes would go into Arc 3 it maybe would not feel rushed.

Also it kills you if you submit to it so.. If anything the game chastises you for going along with it.

My brother in christ it's a video game. They control who and what is in any place at any point in the game.

I'm obviously suggesting that the sex demon shouldn't have been used there, not that a sex demon shouldn't be sexual.

But go off with your stupid strawmans i guess
i think its hilarious that youre perfectly fine playing a game where you get soaked with blood as you violently murder everything in your path, but some chest meat, dangling dongs, and beef curtains send you into a frenzy. clearly you need to re-evaluate your life, if you think nudity is horrible, but killing is perfectly fine.

The farther you get in the game, the more it will appear. I will not spoil anything. But there are a few situations that have nothing to do with your character that are sexual and then possibly reading the line of text in the dialogue tree... thinking it is one way when in fact it is completely different.

All dialogue paths will lead you to 2 choices, relations with the companion or hurting their feelings. There is no platonic relationships in this game without pain.

What problem? You're still here acting superior like yours is the only correct point of view.

the point of view that it is a subjective matter and if you dislike it you can simply not interact with it?

thats a fairly correct point of view, yes.

They couldn't be that horny. Consider all you got out of a 4 some scene with drow siblings was a black screeen (lights out), and some lines of text -)

I'm 80 hours in and nearly at the end of Act 1 and it hasn't been at all prevalent.

My primary sources were from players who were defending the game. They told me that all the dialogue trees for the characters lead to a awkward situation where the player will have to sleep with them or hurt their feelings.

Dialogue choices CAN lead to something, if you as the player chose to do it. You can die from jump off a cliff if you chose to do it as well. Imho these people just hysterical about content in the game they know are there, not because it get forced uppn them.

I've seen three "sex scenes" and they were all incredibly short and not even half as gratuitous or graphic as the forums keep claiming. So idk what you're talking about

From what I heard, the most egregious one is apparently Gale with his "Do you want to see some magic?" The player doesn't realize the magic comes from the wand in his pants.

there is a mod that disables all that, you can find it on nexus. https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/815
Mods fix everything. Hopefully theres a fix for the cotton candy colored hair all the NPCs have. Just want normal high fantasy hair, not weirdo cyberpunk hair.
