Well yes? They set up the presentation to show the bear scene to elicit reactions, that's exactly what I meant. They could've chosen any other segment of Act 1, any other romance, but they specifically showed the gay bear sex scene because of course it would cause the most outrage\positive reactions.
Then I realized, as is often the case, people are making a lot of ado over nothing. It's a funny scene, and more than anything else shows Larian's quirky sense of humor.
But come on, no, the game did not win "best bear scene of 2023" award. LOL.
It isn't a "gay bear" scene either as it can also happen with female Tavs.
The question you should ask is why there are so little good RPG titles.
Although Larian did debut acene with the Astarion version in the final Panel From Hell. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a deliberate choice. Some people are fun to squick out.
That doesn't explain all the awards BG3 won. Like Game of the Year, which was against all video games in every genre. There were still some good and mediocre games in that year, but BG3 was the only game that was truly great on all levels. And the voters recognized this.
One of the best compliments BG3 gets is "I bought BG3 because I heard it was really good and I don't even usually like games like it, but I did wind up liking BG3, alot. I have X amount of hours and I am still enjoying myself!"
It says a lot when a game is so good that it can convert people who normally have no interest in games like yours to take a chance on your game and end up happy with their purchase. I think that was the best award BG3 got.
Nah, the only ones who made that scene big, was the outrage clickbaiters. Nobody would have taken the scene as more as a throwaway meme otherwise...
The druid shagging animals, druids shagging tree memes have been a thing in D&D (and RPGs in general) for decades, and had nothing to do with promoting animal sex, but making fun of those effing plant-wierdos...^^
The way Larian used it it's also a play on the gay "bear" stereotype.
But obviously some people have to jump to conclusions, because obviously their favourite antagonistic political opposition is capable of everything and tries to promote everything bad in the world...And in the next sentence they complain about everyone politicizing everything....after that display...^^
If it was only that it wouldn't have gotten soi many awards and sales way surpassing the 10M copies by now.
The original BG2 hardly sold over 2M copies in its 24 years of existence. The thing is it also moves the genre forward thanks to pristine voice acting and animations. It does manage to modernize the gene withou coimpromising on what it is by keeping the complexity of its systems intact.
But yeah it managed to keep the spirit of adventure, the complexity and depth in reactivity, combat, dialog, exploration, etc while making things accessible and bringing in triple AAA features like great graphics, animations, voice work, etc. One could argue that Larian just brought back to the genre what it should have never lost in the first place.
Larian is The Great Restorer.
One can only hope other studios are taking notes.
And then it is also a competently made game ^^
Exactly. Honestly that is the most baffling thing to me. The market clearly has huge potential but nope, gonna make garbage free to play looter shooters instead! *Cough* UBISOFT *COUGH*
There have been many great RPGs released in the past 10 years, including RPGs by Larian. And 2023 had Rogue Trader and Colony Ship at least, both of which are great in their own right.
But casuals and moms won't play Rogue Trader or Underrail or Age of Decadence or even Pathfinder, because a) they've never heard of them and b) they don't have game journalist difficulty settings.
