Barfing rainbows
I'm asking this to find out whether I should purchase this game or not. One reviewer described this game by saying, and I quote "the caveat is that you get gay propaganda shoved down your throat at every opportunity. You will be barfing rainbows by the 20-hour mark".

How much of this crap is actually in the game?

You can play however you like.

Yes, you will definitely bump into some of that stuff, and, at first, you'll cringe, but later you'll just dismiss it and ignore it.

You also have the ability to kill almost everyone you dislike and still be able to finish the game. Not only sexually neutral it is also morallly neutral (amoral) so, consider that a quid pro quo.

I've been playing for... quite some time and not yet barfing rainbows (lol). But I still roll my eyes at certain "in your face" weirding displays...

Combat is cool. Much to explore, many quests and sidequests, many magical items to obtain, many different and creative ways of solving problems, puzzles and battles. And it's a canonical implementation of DnD 5e rules, which is always a rare and good thing (if you like DnD, although I do not like 5e that much). Note... canonical rules, not canonical environment, that would be grounds for a much longer conversation ;)

With a little effort you'll also find some creative reasoning for all the unreasonable and uncanonical stuff you'll find, and you'll manage to still role-play the thing (with a grain of salt and sarcasm, lol)

I'd say give it a shot.

It is not that bad. Give it a chance if you like turn based RPG's.

Is there an agenda, like in most mainstream media? Yes, but its not heavy handed, besides being hit on by same sex party members, due to a very generic romance engine which makes no distinction based on male or female roles in the romance. I do wish you could select your sexual preference in character creation and avoid some of the cringe.

Yes, you will encounter same sex couples, and some very odd parings that you have to wonder how do they even...

Are there strong heroic and villainous women? Yes, as well as strong heroic and villainous men.

I know most of these posts are troll posts by conservatives, trying to point out the absurdity of the world we live in today. I can absolutely agree with the absurdity, where all we hear about is "follow the science" until it comes to DNA, basic biology or kindergarten level language, but posts like these does the game a disservice as well as the movement to quell the ridiculous agenda being pushed.

Ignore the agenda, tailor your player character and party to your liking and enjoy the game.
But whatever you do, do not use the random character generator..

I like this. I just wanted to see how much I was going to groan at how awful the propaganda was going to be. Thank you.

Based Thread, Based OP.
I fully agree with your comment.

But to answer your question, a lot of in-game contents will be LGBTQ+ pandering, while talking down on males or heterosexual couples.


Quick! Someone make a thirteenth doctor character!
You should know by now not to listen to the internet people. Ever.
Just play it yourself or watch some videos.

What

God, I love the clickbaity nature of that video. The title, the thumbnail

It's perfect to bring in people who need their thinking done for them. You get the big BANNED buzzword to draw attention, you read Feminists and then Ugly Woke. The title alone is simple manipulative genius

Then the thumbnail, bright bold letters that instantly draw your attention. "SEXY" with three overly sexualized depictions of Lae'zel, Minthara, and Shart to then catch the eye. Along with a red background to bring out that subtle hint of anger, of ferocity.

Combining the two, you have a thumbnail that's meant to draw your attention, you then read the title and think "oh those sexy ladies were taken away from us because of a woke feminist agenda!"
Then you go back to the thumbnail, and feel a stronger tinge of anger than you should

That, or it draws in angry extremists who want to watch and comment how horrible it is. After all, a view is a view



I also recognize they probably just copied every other reactionary content type video, but still. Morbid point stands

Wow.

I love how you spent minutes (maybe hours) criticizing a single thumbnail and not a single point made from the video. You must be such an intellectual and sophisticated speaker. You should definitely run for office!
Fox still playing the victim while seething about a woke game selling millions?

lol. peak cope.

Awe, I'm sorry you think breaking down a basic clickbait thumbnail/title. I know critical thinking can be difficult at times :(

Anyways, didn't you use that super block script that one guys friend made to mega block me from existence? Or does it not work anymore

I'm havin a grand ol' time smoochin Minthara and dominating everything with her. Smoochin 'er after every big event to balance it all out

Plus, Shart still tried hitting on me so I know she had feels for a bit until embracing Shar. Though I did end up going back and stealing Isobel/Aylins bodies and leaving them in a chest somewhere together
dude I think people calling this game woke or "barfing rainbows" are closeted ♥♥♥♥♥ thmeselves. I try to eplore every nook and cranny and I found like 3 same sex relationships in the whole game.

If there ever was a moment where you should go out and touch gras THIS was it.

To the rest: Why is minthara alive? Why do you repeat scenes?

That is severly disturbing.

Eh, figured it'd be romantic in a weird way. Keep the two lovers together

And duh, its an evil run? Why wouldn't she be alive lmao. And its simply because its a silly mark of "we beat a big thing"

Why is it disturbing?
I personally don't get when right wing people seem to think free speech is the be all end all of freedom. Everyone else who is not as extreme as them on that position are fascists. Would being in a prison that you can cuss at the guards be freedom?

Isn't it the developers freedom to add 'gay' stuff. You can criticise this if you like but the decision never seems to stay on that. Not sure why this is happening on this games forum so much. The amount of anti ''woke'' threads that seem to be floating about here. Maybe the games popularity goes against the go woke go broke mantra and this needs to be remedied by five people complaining? A poor attempt of a cancellation if you will?

I think I'm more a freedom of expression type of person. It's broader and doesn't have as much of a dodgy movement attached to it. As long as no one is being hurt, everyone is on board with the consent of the situation and is within the law, (even if where i am the government seem to be clamping down on even free speech.) not sure what would be the problem?

I don't get why a lot seem to be anti choice about very avoidable things in this game. The need to even have mods to make sure not to bump into things by accident, isn't that a bit far?

I blame the right wing content mills for all of this. There seems to be so many, that they have to go into increasingly more petty things to stand out and and pump out excessive videos.
