Girlbosses everywhere

[Jellybrah]

I'm at the beginning of act III and i understand more and more why people are saying the game has agenda's..

I don't even mind the "who wants sex with who" but the girlbosses part is getting anoying (and adding to that, no strong male characters anywhere).
The first "hint" was during act II, the last light inn head honcho Jaheira,

Act III has so far been:

- Flaming fist camp with old female boss (wants Astarion head)
- "woof" girlboss with dogs
- Rebel head honcho boss in wyrm's prison
- Security girlboss with attitude
- All male characters: BAD or Homer Simpson

I'm waiting for at least ONE champion male character which has a heroic story. In fact, there was only Ketheric and he was a bad guy.

And what the hell is happening with all the races and colours seemingly randomized by dice as well. Refugee and millenial dialogue writing. Immersion is falling by the act where act I stands strongest so far.

I read this and thought it was bait, but thinking it through. You're kind of right, all the men in power are either incompetent, evil, or part of the player party.
Ravengaard, maybe?
As far as races go that's in line with the setting, particularly in a giant port city like Baldur's Gate, it's not earth.

Oh no girls have some sort of power! How unrealistic my wizard game has become. How pathetic is your existence that this is something you feel so concerned about you need to tell others?

[Chaosolous]

Cool. I love authoritative chicks.

Boss me around baby.

im gonna put girllboss up on the shelf until you learn to use it properly.

women just, you know, being capable isn't anything special.

[Sigvuld]

OP is furious at women fighting good in video games

[Gamer de esquerda]

Everyone knows women are only allowed to fight in videogames if they have barely any clothes on or have big boobs or butt, like Chun Lee and Tifa, that's the rule! Everything besides this is WOKE!!!!!!

Firstly, there's nothing wrong with girlbosses.

When it was almost nothimg but men taking center stage, were you complaining about boybosses everywhere?

No, you just too it for granted that men always took the lead.

So what if BG3 flips tbe script and has, on average, more powerful women than men? It's a high fantasy world, so like, what's actually wrong with that in the first place?

Secondly, it's not entirely true.

• Duke Ravengard
• Elminster
• Wyll
• Halsin
• Minsc

And those are just the one's I know of off the top of my head and from YT, I haven't even reached A2 yet, I'm sure I'll find more.

What is actually wrong with you people?

There is no "anti-women ideology" but an "anti-man ideology" that would like to make women more and more masculine. I can only hope that women will see through the game and continue to be who they are and what sets them apart from men: a woman! ;)

sucks for you i hope they all become absolutely shredded

Orpheus immediately comes to mind (massive chad), Zevlor, Yurgir doesn't seem to be evil (just bound by contract), Withers (again, massive chad, his diss of the Dead Three at the end lmao), Lorroakan (is more of a chaotic neutral), Voss, Wulbren, idk If Sovereign Spaw counts. Can't remember misc NPCs, but then again, they are misc, I don't remember woof girl with dogs either...

Haven't gotten to the Ravengard part yet, let's see!

Def not bait, i'm actually trying not to notice it or pay attention to it, but it's so overwhelming that it really gets annoying. Still, i'm loving the gameplay itself and most of the story where the Illithid part stands out to me.

Because you're expecting it, you're ignoring all of the male "bosses" and only picking up on the female ones because you're recognising it as "not normal".

Kinda like when you buy a red car and suddenly every car you see on the road is red.

[Hex]

Name all the great male champions from BG1 and 2 that weren't evil.

Jaheira woere the pants in that marriage and Minsc was just stupid muscle for Dynaheir. Yoshimo was a plant. Aenomen was an insufferable child.

Looks like someone didn't actually play the older games, or has a very selective memory.

There is no disguisting emoji for me to give you so:
:disguist:

I take lip from women not men. Shut up before I trigger you with a wink. 😘

Now where are these bossy women we’re all talking about?

Strong writtem characters, where the female leads in this game are pure ladybosses with personality equals men.

I love how when there are side NPCs women in position of power they immediatelly need to be 'written' and have all the justification in the world whereas same side NPCs that are males simply never questioned. A dude in DAO managing and training dogs? Yeah will never look twice at him. A woman doing the same (+abusing the dogs which doesn't come off as girlbossing to me)? Wtf where's her entire redemption arc!

"Boss men has no Wiener, I must view it as dishonorable,"
Why does it matter, Male female? The actors deliver clean stuff.

The most influence characters of Act 1 are men (Halsin, Zevlor). Act 2 boss is a man. Although it's quite funny that he gave everything to save his daughter and she hooks up with her lesbian girlfriend who smashes her father's head in and that's supposed to be the good option. Oh there's this slaver guy Lord forgot his name. I'd say it's pretty even. DND in general is a bit annoying though in it's gender approach, Pathfinder Wrath was a lot worse than BG3
