Sex in Modern Games

[Sanhedrin]

Is it really necessary? Perhaps its time to put on end to this whole fiasco? People who want those types of games already have them anyway... Why stir the wind with this nonsense?

I stripped my companions of all their clothes and the dialogue was exactly the same.

If you're gonna make it depraved, commit.

what ticks me off is sex in a game like this is ok but sex in anime games is a no go though don't get me wrong I love this game but I think anime games just aren't given equal freedom to be clear my criticism is not towards this game in the slightest I think all games rightfully should be as free to express art

That's all BG3 has; the implication that sex happened off screen.

I think the other poster was talking about how older movies don't show anything and they simply imply that it happened. So no nudity, barely any kissing, etc.

You are not forced to watch sex scenes, you can either skip them or not start at all. And in general, these kinds of topics always make players interested. But I can't say that nudity and violence have become the key to the success of modern games.

To all those people complaining about the sex i can ask you one thing. Why the hell you complaining about sex if its not mandatory? This game has Male genitalia chicks made up genders and all kinds of nonsense that i don't believe or care to see . But I realize unlike some others that this game was made for everyone and i am not everyone. I am me and if i don't like it i'll ignore it and move on with my life. Let people who want to do stuff do stuff let those who don't not. Why does a game have to fit YOUR ideals when it's a game ment for EVERYONE with different ideals? Something doesn't have to be removed from something just because it hurts someone sensitive disposition. Play the game take part in the parts you like ignore the rest like a civilized human being in a democracy. Stop trying to gate artist and force them to do what you want because you can't. Go make your own DnD inspired story with no sex, no violence, or no anything you don't want. You don't like and play to your hearts content. Seriously so entitled.

Tons of older movies had kissing and nudity. Just maybe not the most mainstream US movies from the 1950's,

That could be because anime games want to appeal to everyone. Maximize profits. Even animes themselves have a pretty hard line between typical animes and the straight up adult stuff. They typically are not R rated because of sexual content.

I wonder if these will be censored in the console version. Then we can ask peeps to play console version instead.

So the majority of movies that are older do not have nudity, they also had barely any kissing, etc. Grabbing a small selection doesn't actually change what I said.

Majority of newer movies also don't have kissing and nudity. I don't see any point here.

its a game, nothing in it is "needed"

but if we can accept murder in games, we can accept optional sex scenes.

I like to stir the wind with my farts while I'm having sex

Because Christianity isn't dead enough. We got rid of the virtues and kept the hangups like the moralising virtue signalling purse clutching think of the childrening idiots we are.

Question: Why engage with sexual content if it is optional?

Answer: You do not always know, because it isn't always labeled. e.g. "Show me a magic trick, Gale"

I would like to play out the dialogue of all of the characters so that I know their whole stories. But there's a chance I'll stumble into something uncomfortable, so Gale lives in the runestone, and Astarion lives out on the road.

I mean, you act like I don't know that I can avoid it. And here's the thing, if it was always an obvious choice, I'd be asking the same question, and exploring all the dialogue. But typically, people who ask that question not only don't care about whether or not your choices matter, they are also openly hostile to any attempt to clearly mark interactions as such, which indicates zero interest in fixing the problem.
