Lady Esther is hot

[Gr00vy]

and that's not a joke.

Yet, I can't romance her. Instead I get flung all the gay sex in the world (not interested, i'm okay with it, just not interested).

Thanks Larian for forcing a sexual orientation on me, without true choice of who i romance.

Maybe she is, shame about the other bs you wrote.

Maybe don't come on to men and they won't try to sleep with you?

Just like your response, the in game text is just as disingenuous. State a common interest , and the skin flute comes flying your way in this game.

Funny, the left claims they're progressive with cat calling and avoiding unwanted sexual interractions.

Except when its gay or fetishized.

Then consent is unilateral and you should just "take it".

Not all ingame characters are 'romanceable'. And all that are, have no sexual orientation. Is that so bad? Just dont go into the obvious rhetoric if you dont feel a need, just like in real life.

Your post is pure contradiction. You complain about a rapey vibe and an industry mired in sexual harassment allegations (so men abusing and ogling women), but then acknowledge that you CAN'T get with the woman you want. If what you say is true of Larian, should you not have 100 hot women all over you, letting you do whatever you want to them?

Not sure how allowing gay romance equates to rapey sexual harrassment in gaming. Please expand on this silliness. I'm now curious.

Which one is Lady Esther?

The irony is thick.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised coming from an industry mired in sexual harassment allegations.

The rapey vibe really coming off strong in this game.

i mean, discarding about 90 % of what you wrote as bullcrap, there is 1 point I agree on:

I wish there was an option to romance or lay non-companion NPCs like in Witcher.

Are you conflating having romanceable options with reasonable dialogue with the game's forced narrative of alternative sexual lifestyles being "thursted" on the player?

More dishonest mental gymnastics I see.

I can't tell if this is your "par for the course" rabid defense of the most insane ideas on the community's part, or if you genuinely buy into the propaganda and ad hominem?

Stop being gay with your homies, then. It was your choice.

[hoot hoot]

When Gale started coming on to me, I said no thanks and to call it a night.

The end.

By the logic of many of posts such as these, flirtation alone must be a traumatizing experience. I'm sorry you're so delicate, OP.

The only propaganda and mental gymnastics in this thread belongs to you.

You're not making any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense. The gaming industry's sexual harrassment/abuse and "rapey" vibes have to do with women, yet here you are complaining that there aren't enough women for you to have sex with. Everything discussed thus far has NOTHING to do with "alternative sexual lifestyles". You somehow attributed rape and harassment to LGBTQ options in the game somehow. Either you have a mental disability, or you are trying to be obscure in gay hate speech.

I can sense I've hit a nerve. I enjoy when people try to character assassinate my responses. It's an easy way to tell you're winning.

Unironically, I see you believe that unwanted sexual advances can only happen towards one sex. (And that they're painfully present in this game. Oh what's that, a portrait of Mystra, sure Gale, tell me more about your heterosexual muse as the conversation takes a hard turn when you suddenly break character by exposing your genitals to me).

Curious, do the rest of your ideas crumble under the slightest of scrutinies?
