You all are not serious right?

[Harrier32]

Loving the game, wanted to check out the discussions on here to share in the celebration of this tremendous game. What do I find? Post after post of anti-LGBTQ and prudish whining about sex in the game. Grow up. I expect that if I dug a little deeper into the posts I'd find the old sawhorses such as "no politics in muh games" and some such claptrap. Everything is and always has been political; no one is forcing you to pursue these story lines in the game. Don't you people ever get tired of telling others what to do and what to think? I guess that's what happens when you espouse politics that are pretty clearly "free for me but not for thee.
Doesn't constantly playing the victim get pretty old, having a hissy fit at everything that doesn't fit into your morality or threatens your fragile manhood? It's pretty pathetic honestly.

I'm loving all the posts saying they're forced to sleep with people, am i playing the same game?

i'm with my dommy mommy lae'zel and havent had any others even close to romance. Astarion flirted with me once and i told him he wasn't as attractive as Lae'zel and i got +rep from him lol.

I swear they're literally choosing dialogue options to get a result they can complain about.

I think there might be a bug honestly. My buddy isn't having an issue. My very first conversation with Lae'zel at camp was about how I was missing out on her because I was trying to get with Shadowheart or something, when I hadn't even spoke to Shadow except on the ship.....

Not a bug, it goes based on your actions in the world. Everything you do outside of combat, has some sort of impact on someone's rep with you and it doesn't take much rep to get one fond of you, but it takes a fair amount to get them to hate you. You probably got like 4-5 positives with shadow and 3-5 negatives with lazel, considering they like completely different things. So that would make your first conversation with her, well, very distant.

These culture warriors and superstitious conspiracy theorists brainwashed by Fox News style corporate media and boomer prudes who are obsessed with everything being "woke" have ruined all gaming discourse.

Yes. Not only Fox News though. There has been an organized effort to make young gamers useful idiots for the alt-right for a long time.

This all started when people like Steve Bannon and Milo Yiannopoulos were trying to strike it rich by using Chinese people (basically slave labor) to farm and steal gold in World of Warcraft. They came into contact with a lot of gamers and realized how isolated and gullible they were.

Quote from Wikipedia:

In 2005, Bannon secured $60 million in funding from Goldman Sachs and other investors for IGE (Internet Gaming Entertainment), a company based in Hong Kong that employed "low-wage Chinese workers" to play World of Warcraft, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, in order to earn gold in-game that could be traded for virtual items, which could then be sold to players of the video game for real-world money.[97]

While some gamers liked IGE's offers of World of Warcraft money that would normally take hours to farm, other gamers called it cheating. Many gamers responded by posting anti-Chinese vitriol. Blizzard Entertainment, the owners of the video game, eventually shut down accounts used by "gold farmers". IGE was also the target of a class action lawsuit by a player who said that IGE's practices were "substantially impairing" people's enjoyment of the game.[97]

While this business model by IGE failed in the end, Bannon became interested in the game's online community, describing its members as "rootless white males, [who] had monster power." Through Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos, whom Bannon recruited, Bannon realized that he could "activate that army." of gamers and Internet trolls, adding that "They c[a]me in through Gamergate or whatever and then get turned onto politics and Trump."

I miss the days when games didn't have all this political crap.

Anyway, time to boot up one of my favorite apolitical games, and there's so many great examples to choose from, like Fallout, Witcher, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, and Deus Ex!

I genuinely hold the opinion that woke politics have no place in videogames.

I'd love for you to actually explain what "woke politics" is

I mean we all know that it's you being bothered by non-straight and non-white people existing in video games but I'd like you to say it

Unfortunately, Steam forums at present are not the place to go to have fun discussions of a game we like.

At first it's sort of funny to laugh at the performative bigotry, but there are enough of them saying the quiet bits out loud and having the posts left up for days, even if they get a tiny temp ban slap.

I absolutely believe that you should combat hateful and trollish behaviour but it can't be done without more effective moderation.

The hilariously ironic thing about their statement is it proves your point. Disagreeing in their eyes means you're bothered by whatever protected group they feel like supporting that hour.

The lack of both critical thinking and the inability to see the middle ground of anything. Spoken like a true ideologue.

Politics has always been part of Video Game. Especially so in good cRPG.

Fallout, Planescape Torment, recently Pillars of Eternity 2, Pentiment (not really an RPG) and Disco Elysium and now Baldur's Gate 3.

Maybe you ought to look for other games that doesn't requires good writing, or writing at all, just mind numbing actions.

I recommend Elden Ring it's a fantastic 'Action RPG' (not an RPG).

The dumbest part is the fact that Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout, divinity original sin 2, Swtor, and many more all had gay options. And everyone who played these games ♥♥♥♥♥♥ at least 90% of everyone because it's funny to see your CH get absolutely demolished by hunks of different characters.

These users are just... tiring? Because you find both of them on each side of the internet; Both advocating for specifically their need. They all scream "WAHHH why don't you make something that I specifically want WAHHH" or "WAHHH there is something that I don't agree with please remake the entire game without it WAHH". And it is pointless to even argue with them as many of them just troll or are literal kids or brain-damaged adults. But the Internet is a giant cesspool of intrusive thoughts where everyone just dumps their ♥♥♥♥ on and receives zero consequences.

I swear the internet is both a blessing and a curse and every time I interact with the social aspect of the internet I see the dumbest ♥♥♥♥ ever and I pray that one day I will be abducted by aliens and get probed to death.

I have a good question about relantioships in the game... can I fu#$ all characters at the same time?

The idea of "woke" is a company aligning itself with a cause for positive or negative PR.

Classic instances of recent but memorable, genuine corporate "wokeism" would date back to the Keurig or Nike ordeal. Those corporations picked a stance to align with on social media, or a personality. Certain groups loved this, supporting the company more. Other groups hated it, endorsed the idea of cancelling said company or "boycotting" and went our of their way (in a serious showcase of IQ) to destroy products from those companies in their ownership, that they'd already paid for.

Woke as of now is nothing more than a lazy term for lazy people looking for a cop-out / mask to defend whichever prejudices they hold.

It's the get-out-of-jail free card, nullifying the need for people to openly express and bare their prejudices properly. Some can't quite help themselves and get hit with a ban anyway.

Report > "Unconstructive argument". Few days later (Banned). Hopefully.

If you want healthy forum, go to larian forum. Steam forum is pretty unregulated, plenty of Hitlerjunge aspirant crawling around.
