Lae’zel was the first I noticed and for her I think it’s entertaining and in-line with her character but I wish gale and some of the others took a little longer. Seems like karlach maybe isn’t available straight off and maybe astarion but I haven’t had him in my party at all so I could be wrong, just basing that off of little things I’ve seen online. But yea basically agree 100%
you ever see something and you're like "I didn't know this was a thing, but I should have"
It was really funny seeing this one girl online complaining that she struck out with everyone at the big campfire scene. I was like “literally how?” Bc I was tripping over everyone trying to turn them down left and right
Actually got kinda mad when the game locked me out of one character romance line because of one of those seemingly innocuous conversations with said wizard. Game seems to think I’m 200% into him and not the other character, which appears to have broken that storyline entirely
From this person's description BG3 sounds fuckin dope.
I rate it 98/100, only very minor gripes, feels just like actually playing dnd
There is one character with a drag queen aesthetic like 80 hours in, a creature referred to by she/he pronouns around the same point in the game, otherwise this is completely made up. Like, there is plenty of very gay stuff in the game to complain about, why make up this nonsense?
They clicked the yes, I want to have gay sex with the handsome wizard button
By gender roles i think they mean because gale, wyll, and asterion are all str deficient mid/backliners while the Frontline is all women (Karlach, Lazel, Shadowheart)
How can people live without the joy that is throwing gobbos into AOE death spells with a raging Karlach? Sad is the right word. How can you make the upholding of stupid boring gender norms so much of your personality that you can't just enjoy nice things anymore?
Remember (CW: gender stuff from the year 2000) that time Edwin accidentally changed his gender and experienced gender dysphoria? These dorks don't because they haven't played the games.
Holy crap, it's kind of amazing to see all the ways the writing was insensitive to the subject matter but also what they got right.
BG1 had a Belt of Masculinity/Feminity that would change your gender too. Also cursed so you'd need to find your
keyholderRemove Curse spell to remove.Yeah, there just wasn't as much textual stuff going on like there is with misogynist dickhead Edwin being turned into a woman and getting dunked on by the women he was rude to. As a cis-man, I don't think I'm in a position to say anything about girdle ogre's gender identity.
Since it's so early in the game, it's a way to teach the player that equipping unidentified magic items can have unintended consequences without negatively impacting their character's combat abilities. Just the "cursed gender belt" bit certainly didn't age well!
I'm cis too but I can see such a belt being a boon to an actual Trans forgotten realms citizen.
Idk.
it's a straight up fash hiding behind a mask
in the RPG space the fash are losing their minds. the 'go woke go broke' maxim is being broken time and again because of niche stuff like BG3 and the pathfinder games not only selling way more than we expected them to, in general, but while also having more than their share of lgbt+ content.
Damn, the dudes finally get prettier outfits in a fantasy game? Got me sold. Also that res mark makes an ally look like anally. Also, also, does that mean the demon chick can dom me?
