Is there a mod that removes romance from the game?

[RedHaze1911]

Im not into all the horny porno crap and id love to know if theres a mod that modifies the game so that the romance stuff is either not there, or a mod that makes it so that romance dialogue only appears if I seek it out myself intentionally?
The DnD i know has never been this sex based in the past and id like to keep it that way.
Any solutions? I know that theres a gazillion players that find the sex stuff in bad taste so there must be Some mod out there that addresses it :D

I dont like it when characters even allude to anything or flirt. Like Wyll asking me for a dance. Im like... dude, im a hairy dwarf! Wtf u doing? xD I do not want that vibe in my adventure. Not everyone lives in san fransisco and i dont want to be near any of that ideology crap thats festering in some societies. So id rather just cut any hints of romance all together. Anyone can play the game however they want, but im not into gay midget interracial flirts in my games...

People just try and justify the over sexualitaion of the companions in the game, theyre not genuine, theres a reason the mod exists

I don't think you're making the point you think you're making here 😅

I don't consider these things an issue.
Because I'm not an entitled whiner who expects every piece of media to be modified just to satisfy my prejudices.

ITS NOT AN ISSUE.

The characters flirt with you...and you can say NO THANKS. And then they leave you alone.

And that happens in real life too. When you're down the pub and someone you're not interested in comes up to you and flirts with you....YOU CAN SAY NO THANKS.

Sheesh.

Personally I think it's pretty pathetic that there's so many people who can't cope with this stuff being an option in the game (you can chose to engage with it, or chose not to) that they need a MOD to take it out.

Sorry, but I'm old. I grew up playing games where modding was not an option. You had to put up with what the game was. You played the game that the devs made, and that was that. I find it damn weird that the devs have created this game, and gone to all this effort and the first thing people do is be so entitled that they rush out to immediately ALTER the game with mods.

It's baffles me. Nearly as much as all the infantile pearl clutching about the romance and characters in the game. WAAAH WAAAAH The elf man came onto me!!!! Waaaah Waaaah it made me feel funny in my no no parts and now I have to whine about it endlessly on the forums! Waaaah waaaah! There are strong independent women in the game!!!! I can only cope with wilting damsels in distress!!! Waaah Waaah Waahhh

Effing Pathetic.

Yeah, we must all be crazy. Its baffling how The Marvels cost a gazillion and made a nickle. Cause "normal people" should Love our media being flooded with strong female characters, right? xD Well, some of my movie heroes are women, like sigourney weaver and sandra bullock and charlize theron. But they were well written and made sense in the story. In this game however, it just promotes a reality that says that the women are tough and strong. Can do everything that men can do and more,right? And the men are these bisexual betas that cant wait to bang you after a dance. Thats not normal to me. Its clearly an unnatural attempt to tell you: Seee? Everyones gay or bi! Thats normal! Bang away, the gender doesnt matter! Men are feeble, women are strong, blablabla...
If you dont see the clear undertones this game is forcibly promoting, youre just willfully blind or captured. Women cant do what men can do, and bi people arent everywhere around you and i get weirded out by the game trying to promote otherwise,like a conditioning measure. The LGBTQ are a fraction of the populace and this weird obsession of putting them front and center has just made everyone sick of it. God knows I wish them well and they are not responsible for this. Its the weird woke weirdos that are pushing this agenda in entertainment and media and im having nothing to do with this mental illness...

Is the new Godwin's Law that every discussion on the internet will end with someone talking about Disney movies?

It also seems like the less people that have seen the movie the more they won't shut up about it.

Women cant do what men can do

Balls. Total balls.
Go tell that to Cynthia Rothrock.

Everyones gay or bi!

I mean one of the earliest quests in the game is to help the daugher of two heterosexual parents...And one of the first things you see in Rivington is a hetero couple with their kids....

And the companion characters aren't "gay or bi", they're coded to be romancable by the player, whatever the player happens to have chosen as their character's gender. Its to allow the option.
And you have the option to say no.

The LGBTQ are a fraction of the populace

So they should be ignored? So devs shouldn't put options in the game to cater for them as well as everyone else? If you want to play the "they're a minority" card...then I have to break it to you that SO ARE YOU. The section of the populace that is filling their nappies over the inclusion of LQBTQ stuff is a small fraction of the overall "normal" population....everyone else just gets on with their lives. You just think that because you make a lot of noise that you're more numerous than you are.

ah yes, the "hello there campmate" who replies "I want to ♥♥♥♥ your brains out even though you never said anything romance-related to me"

totally possible

1. Cynthia would be flattened if a man with the same training and weight would fight her.
Ask anyone who knows martial arts. I cant believe you even wrote this out...

2. They are gay/bi if they themselves make passes at you in conversation. Which they do. Me saying no doesnt remove the fact that they made a pass at my character.
The coding is also an issue but its coded that way on purpose.

3. I dont know what california bubble you live in, but im not in the minority. Have you ever left your town? Your state? Well ive been all over the world and i know what is normal and what is not, on average. Im in the majority that doesnt want to make a big deal out of sexuality. LGBTQ should have all the options we do. So if you want a gay romance from a character, You have to seek it out, not be pestered by comeons from your party members. Its intrusive. It can be done without anyone getting upset. You dont have to shove agendas in peoples faces.

My god, your post makes me lose hope for humanity xD Idk wether to cry or laugh but im out. No more arguing on the internet for this year...

You literally wrote some random rant about sexuality earlier.

The actual majority that doesn't want to make a big deal of it just plays the game and doesn't make a big deal of it.

Thanks for showing that you know nothing about martial arts.

Only because you chose a gender that matches theirs. They're coded to be romanceable regardless of the player character gender, so if they come across as gay, thats because of a choice you made.

I don't even live in the US. And I've been a lot of places. Admittedly most of them were countries where there is a greater quality of education than the US...but don't let that upset you too much.

Yet here you are, making a big deal out of it.

Not saying you can't, just..not something I can begin to understand.

The guy just want an old classic RPG experience without romance, like Pool of Radiance 2 or Icewind Dale, Elder Scrolls or Septerra Core or pick your oldschool RPG.

I have yet to play BG3 (i'l probably dive into it on christmas holidays later in january), but i would remove gay relationships (via that mod, if you can't do that in the game's options) since i'm not interested in that, so it's great to have a choice. Kudos to PC modders, as always.

So they don't want one like BG2 or Fallout 2 or Ultima 7 or Wizardry 8? Because you need to make a pretty careful list up there, just like you had to trim my comment pretty carefully to remove the point that this game provides an RPG experience without romance without any mods at all.

Knew this was going to be one of those games as soon as I saw you could put female voices on male character... 10 years ago thats just a funny mistake they forgot to correct, today it's a feature. Really prefer my games to be games and not social or political statements.

ffs

This is game is not flirting. the gay characters are constantly sexually harass you, no matter if you say no

I guess Larian wants to normalize sexual harassment for LGBTQ people. If they do it its okay and funny.

Larian normalizing Zoopholia is also fun look how the LGBTQ crowd watching it unreveal got visibilly turned on by this.

For BG4 we will likely get a Wizard that can shapeshift into a 8 year old boy for some nice and progressive LGBTQ erotic scene. Ah freedom of thought!

Having fun with that massive distortion and slippery slope fallacy?

The existence of that option doesn't stop it from being a game.
You can just...you know...chose not to use the option...
