    YEAH THERE WAS AND THE PLOT IS THAT YOU PUT DOWN A GOBLIN LIBERATION MOVEMENT. also the goblins are jewish stand ins. also there a good goblin who says that no matter how much discrimination there is you cant use violence to defend yourself. also the goblins are evil because their culture has a different understanding of labor and capitalism. also blood libel. qnd happy elf slaves that love being slaves and HERES THE KICKER the lead producer for most of the game was a far right chud who made gamergate videos year before getting hired. he was fired after he said something racist I think. i think about this game often while ripping my hair out.

      In Baldur's Gate 3 you can prevent a tiefling from doing a revenge killing on a goblin or even lead a goblin raid on a druid grove to show those stupid tree-huggers what for

          Sadly if you want to play as a goblin you have to mod the game

          You can also play as a half-orc but not an orc

          Normalize greenskin social integration you fucking cowards todd

            Neither hobbits nor gnomes have a default origin story, which I consider half-pint erasure.

      In addition to all that stuff, the story was just straight up yawn-worthy boring

        yes it was sooooo basic, it definitely seems like a story for little kids (makes sense), but what little kids is buying a 60$ game? who is this for?

          Games have been $60 off and on for 3 decades now, so honestly, any kid who has an n64 or above has been getting $60 games for quite some time now. It took me 6 months to save up for Jet Force Gemini, I’ll never forget how disappointed I was with it after getting home.
