Are all characters gender fluid, bisexual or pansexual?

[leojch]

Sometimes it seems that the male characters seem to have feminine gestures/attitudes, and the female characters seem to have masculine gestures/attitudes.

What's worse is that it seems like every character in this game is simultaneously bisexual and extremely horny. There is no separation between friendship and romance. Just being friendly leads to sexual interaction.

I just wish there was an option for a friendship without delving into a sexual relationship.
Not everyone should be romantic with you. These days it seems more like, "Don't talk to anyone unless you want to have sex with everyone."

Even the most innocent lines can lead to gay things. Being flirted with by every other male character is just bad design, distracting, unrealistic and immersion breaking.
Talking to most guys and just being nice starts a homosexual relationship if you're playing a male character. Why this limitation? Why this obligation?

There is nothing wrong with being gay. I don't mind having a gay mate in my squad, but I don't want to be flirted with by ALL male mates. There must be heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual partners. But everyone in this game is bisexual. This is lazy writing. Or an ideological, doctrinal agenda not based on the complexities of real relationships.

That seems very amateurish to me. Something poorly written, without any complexity.
Relationships were developed by a cheeky 13 year old boy. Hugging someone to comfort them or show care is supposed to be flirting.

Are there any characters in the game, those masculine and frowning caricatures, in the style of Conan the Barbarian? Well caricatured, of those marrents, who doesn't care about relationships or anyone else? Or at least ONE character who doesn't care about romances? Where are these characters?

The conversations and relationships in Baldurs Gate 2 seem a thousand light years ahead and a million times more complex and well constructed. The old game is so much better written.

They really need to give the option to choose their sexual preference in character creation.
If this is not possible, it would be much better if the characters had believable and balanced sexualities, as in reality.

OBS: this is a compilation of several comments. I used google's automatic translator combined with miscellaneous comments from separate threads to create this one.

Baldurs gate 3 is an exceptionnal game with a little bit of wokeness

(lgbtq friendly, over representation of women in position of power/prestige, minorities, etc.)

Of course the leftwing trolls will try to shame you for pointing out that the devs are very leftwing in their worldview and included it (skillfully)

The same trolls would lit their shirt on fire if BG3 had the same biais but towards conservatives views (traditionnal gender roles, respect of religion, law and order, family first, etc. )

So its always funny when they answer with "who cares" or "its just a game"

I never said you weren't intelligent. I said you're not comprehending. Big difference.

Again, you insulted my intelligence by insinuating I couldn't understand comprehension. If you read what I wrote I clearly said you're insulting people and making an attack on their intelligence for not aligning with your exact thoughts on the subject.

What on earth are you talking about? Who said "Straight only option"? No one said "Straight only option." Not a single person said "Straight only option." I know for a fact I certainly NEVER said there should be a straight only option. If you read my posts fully you would know it's the opposite. It's the option for straight, gay and bisexual characters not just bisexual characters and that's a completely reasonable request that in no way, shape or form could ever be construed to be "biggoted", "intolerant" and certainly not "fascist."

So you limit your bigotry to bisexual people only? So it is not a "Whites only option" but a "Anything but black people" option?

I hope you understand i cannot take your constructed victim role seriously?

What are you reading? You're definitely not reading any post I've made to come out with way out there comments like this. Never once has race been brought up by myself.

Can someone please read over my comments and confirm where he's getting this stuff from?

Yes but this already "IS" an option.
You guys are really looking at it in the wrong way. So here i invite myself to give you some insight about how Larian did it.
So "YOU" already have the straight/homosexual/bisexual options in this game. because you can already decide that your character will be straight/homosexual/bisexual it already is in the game it's up to you.

What you are actually asking (let us take Gale as an example) is to set the sexuality of "Gale". But the Developers has already chose that Gale is bisexual.
By telling "no" to Gale you are playing and confirming the straight option of your character.

Larian will never ever change the sexuality of Gale, because doing so would be biggotry. Also how many other video game in the industry give you the option to change the sexuality "of your companions"? Almost none.
It won't be a thing in here too. You don't control the personality and the preference of your companions, you control only the ones from the MC.

[SerraShaar]

they are playersexual.

there will be no toggle.

Also Larian don't read this BS anyway.

I get it from your post. You want options like these:

[_] Whites only
[_] Blacks only
[_] Asians only

You just do it with sexuality, and not skin tones. It is as stupid.

Yes. But in case they are reading, it's great to show them (by this thread) that we are a majority that doesn't want an homophobe toggle option.

There's three people posting in this thread disputing a toggle option for "Anything goes" and "We've specifically written gay and straight and bisexual companions for you to romance." There's many more who peaced out of the thread who already stated it should be an option.

[Calistrasza]

I must be literally the only person playing this game that doesn't focus on the romance and just, you know, plays the game.

I'm sorry to say but if i was asking for an option to only have white people would it be ok?
I mean it is only an option. I like to say that if black people doesn't want to use it i will perfectly respect their decision.
Does it sound racists? Because if it does knows that it is exactly the same sentence you've just made with one word exchanged.

I don't fall for goal post moving. No one said anything about straight only characters and race was never brought into it which is what you're trying to change the conversation into.

As soon as people try moving the goal posts they've lost.

Yeah. I am honest to you. Are you honest to yourself if you act as if you were no fascist troll? Who likes to have attention with spitting out utter bs about "straight only"-buttons?

And .. i mean.. do you really mean it? Or do you just seek someone to talk to? Because you seem like a really needy guy to me, who needs forum attention with being miserable.

You cannot really imagine how many trolls there are nowadays. Only because they are lonesome. You seem to be one of them. Hope you find friends, tho.

[larhtas]

You basically are asking that dialog lines that are already optional doesn't show up.
If Larian was giving a sh*t about this thread what do you think they would answer?
I'll tell you what i think they would answer:
-> "This dialog line is optional. If you feel uncomfortable we invite you to not click on it and to only click on option with which you feel comfortable".
