This game is too woke.

[AsuraStrike]

There's more ♥♥♥♥, gay relationships than normal ones. I have nothing against LGBTQ, but when it's everywhere, and every dude wants to **** me, I'm a bit annoyed. I just want normal friendships, please, please make the woke stuff go away. Otherwise it's a great game.

You're probably right, they've fit with my characters so far. Tbh they probably should've left player voices out. Your character speaks so rarely as is

Yes a silent voice option would even be an improvement. I'd rather never hear my big half orc talk than have to hear him talk and he sounds like my old english teacher :(

Grunt only option when.

Cry about it all you like doesn't change the fact theres MORE than a significant margin of people who are fed up with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Just cause you're happy being shovelled manure on a plate and call it entertainment doesn't mean everyone is.

you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. no data to actually back you up, and are simply projecting your own fears onto others.

you're are an inane authoritarian. I pity you.

hate to break it to you but he is 100% right and you are 100% wrong

Sure buddy whatever you say. You are free to leave if open discourse bothers you so much. Plenty of people out there who will not challenge your ideas and simply agree with everything you believe. Best of luck with that.

Alas AsuraStrike, you are one of many my friend,
Yes you are completely correct.
No, they will not listen to you nor will it change, but there is a mod for it.
Yes they will call you homophobic, a bigot, transphobic, blah blah blah.
No, it's not because you're actually 'phobic, they are calling other homosexual individuals homophobes as well when they express the same concern of the over-representation.
Yes the mods seem to be politically charged and will throw excessive bans at you for expressing your concern about the game.
Be careful friend and take comfort in knowing that a *TON* of people agree with you.

Asking for a friend...what is the name of this mod?

Baldurs gate better aesthetics I think is the mod he's referring to. Great mod, very based. Still doesn't make the game stop being woke, sadly its hardcoded into the game at this point. Unless someone effectively rewrites the entire story and all the companions and somehow manages to get a bunch of good voice actors, programmers, writers, etc involved then theres only so much you can do.

Still it does help with reducing the amount of randomness in the skin tones of the npc's. Makes the game feel more like what faerun would actually be like. Bearded dwarves, etc, actual skin tones instead of every npc looking like they hit the randomizer on their skin colour.

you are right, it is a great game indeed, and would be far better if they hadnt put so much social justice in it

[frowningmirror]

As a somewhat conventionally attractive aro ace guy, I just find this really funny, I've been hit on by everyone in life, I learned early it's just something I gotta live with. But this sorta thing doesn't bother me in games, I can play gay, straight, whatever I want. Yet these dudes so upset a gay man hit on them. Dude it's normal, just be mature about it, this happens to people in real life, consider this your training wheels for when you grow up

Look if the horny stuff is the problem then I doubt its a problem with the game being "woke". I think the devs are just horny fantasy fans, so they put that stuff in and made characters attracted to you. Idk if thats them pushing an agenda.

[BigJ]

Since it seems we are not all on the same ship, I'll define what woke means to me.

A woke game means that the writers started to virtue signal as a pr stunt to make up for poor writing.

Often using real life issues to deflect criticism away from their game, which means the general writing suffers, can apply to options too on occasion. It's often also filled with railrodded sections meant to preach a message related to real life movements.

In this case most of the game ain't woke, but in how horny some characters are written and during some sections of act 3 where you are given the binary choice of kill them or side with them, it is clear, you can tell the narrative for companions took s nose dive during it as well.

The lack of options for our preferences, been able to tell our friends how we swing or if we wanns try stuff is not present, a victim of woke bs, I should be able to tell Asterion that I hope to have a threesome with him and Halsin or that I'm not interested by women, I can't.

Adding to this, we should be able to form more than 2 broships...because currently the rest end up been more like work friends or forever bitter ex friends.

Furthermore, we seriusly need a dwarven male companion with a beard to snuggle.

Originally Faerun has ZERO homossexual relationships described in the books. THIS is proof enough of the wokeness in this game.

Okay so why no male melee characters? Why is every character bisexual? Why is it okay to have a sex scene with a bear but not have a single conventionally attractive female character? There's wokeness pervading the entire game dude, I don't know how you don't see it but I'm glad you're enjoying the game anyway.
