Why the Minsc easter egg needs to go.

[Myself]

This easter egg has done nothing but divide the community, you've got one group that just want to enjoy the game, then you have another who are just spiteful trolls who like that you've put a joke in the game that has made people they see as their enemies unhappy, is this the kind of community you want the next Baldurs Gate games to bring? I sure hope not.

From one fan to the series to another, I can forgive you if you at least remove the meme and don't put anymore into your games, I want to support you every step of the way, I have supported you on Android and PC (I prefer android atm tbh) but please, no more memes.
Just be fans, go back to when you first played the game and was in awe of the games art and characters, that giddy feeling you got at the end of Baldurs Gate 2 bring THAT back.

And I'll be honest, when I heard Irenicus and Minsc again in your trailer, I got that feeling. You almost had that Baldurs Gate feeling again but you've let people use that line to divide the community and now that's all we have.

Now now, that would be censorship, surely gamergate is against that :-P

my guess is they do not want it to go. thing with game development (beyond the very basic games where it is just one dev producing the entire project) is nothing gets added by accident really. everything is designed and planned for so this joke was very much intended to be put in and very much intended to offend people - they just didn't realize how many people would be digusted at the tactic to use a beloved title as the platform to do it.

you just have to accept that these are not nice people at beamdog.

Oh, the horror!

I think the reality is that gamergaters lack a sense of humor :-P

Yes. That would be self-censorship.

What Beamdog really should do is think about whether or not they really want to be represented by meme-spouting nitwits who fill their work with dated internet inside jokes and can't write dialogue to save their life.

It needs to stay. Content like that needs to be memorialized. A monument to what was done and who did it.

Let it stay in. It's just a small piece, a little thread that is tied into everything else wrong with this expansion.

Well that of course has more to do with the humourless reactionaries throwing a tantrum ;-)

A reference to a 2-year-old meme is good humor? I bet you still laugh at doge posts.

So you admit they lack a sense of humour?

Guys, this just sounds like the SJW who pitched a fit about the trans joke in Pillars of Eternity. It's such a small, insignificant little joke, and you're saying censor it? Come on folks, we can be more adult than this.

I'm not saying censor it. I'm saying, next time around, hire good writers. Just to clarify.
