There isn't a single normal woman in this game
I get romanced by a literal demon from hell, an evil shar worshipper, an evil drow, another literal demon lady and a freakish looking orc lady. Not a single normal human female to be found anywhere in this game.

Negative review stays up.

I do. These characters.. they're too well written! :C

They are well written I agree. I'm going to have to do another play through immediately after I finish my current run. Romanced Karlach this time around, but I think I'm going to go Astarion next time for my evil run. I've basically ignored him in camp after he tried to bite me lol

Why no quad amp females to romance?

Ya know, I think you are on to something here… every single origin character is a classically evil and tragic personality. 😉

That's just Larian's style of giving everyone a super special and edgy history. Same as DOS2.

All of the main characters have way too much going on tbh.
Would be nice if one party member or main character was just a regular, grizzled mercenary or something who survives on their wit and experience, someone like Goblin Slayer.
Instead of every single character with a unique face being the reincarnation of a demon angel wizard from the future.
I get this is DnD but not every character needs to feel like a cringey self insert fanfiction written by an edgey teenager. You don't need over the top nonsense to make a character interesting.

And on the romance topic, all of the characters are way too thirsty too. It's barely a couple hours into the game before every party member goes from completely mistrusting you to wanting to have your babies.

Not sure he has to. Normal would imply the most common type, or a metric that has been averaged out.

Part of the issue is due to how Larian made most of the party members as "origin characters", much like with DOS2. This means every single of them has the main character syndrome or special snowflake tag applied. This means, they designed to be abnormal. DOS2 handled it much better.

Yet you take no issue having to see a fat, fugly, sweaty orge chick getting railed by a furry creature from Where the Wild Things are. :steambored:

"Normal" being taken from the word 'norm'.

Overly aggressive orcs
evil god zealots
Drows bent on massacring people
ladies with literally an engine for a heart

can all be crossed off the list of norms.

Name 1 cRPG you played where the companions were mostly normal people who had no special powers, background, or gifts.

Because the nice merchant lady didn't want to go on a suicide mission with you for some reason. I guess it takes a certain type.

The normal men and women in the game are those that just die when bad things happen on Toril. For obivous reason those who surfive the bad things if they not cause them themself, are the unnormal men and women.. like the one we can play or lead in our party.
