I've not played the game. I assume the issue is that gay people do in fact, exist in a game?
The character create has you choose your pronouns and one of the options is they/them
You can also pick your genitalia independently of your body type.
There's an option when you first start the game to enable "cinematic nudity".
If you toggle it on, there are some scenes where the protagonist is naked and a handful of sex scenes that you have to go out of your way to encounter.
All the genitalia option during character creation does is pick what's on display during these scenes.
Ah, I see, what queer propaganda will be next? Picking your character's name?!

the nightsongs gay romance is goals honestly. i want a muscular and rough 8ft tall immortal angel lady to talk about how shes gonna fuck the shit out of me in front of everyone i know
The best part about rainbows is how fucking stupid chuds look when they get mad about them. 🌈 Sorry buddy, the sky is calling you gay. Go join the frogs 🐸 and pucker up.
"god's not gonna flood the planet and he proved it by calling you gay lmao"
probably just a nazi that's too scared to fully reveal themselves (1488) so they only reveal themselves partially (88) to keep it ambiguous lel
they're nowhere to be found when stuff like religious, traditionalist propaganda is "shoved down peoples' throat"
i'm still getting baldur's gate 3
just probably once it's in a saleBeing born in the late 80s is a minefield of "around my age or Nazi?" when it comes to user names and emails.
well also look out for reich-wing rhetoric
and/or hostile tonein their speech. if you find any - nazi.
Based on my experience about 60 hours in, you would need to explicitly choose to be gay to see really any gay romance in this game. Seems like this guy's version of having gay propaganda shoved down your throat is simply the presence of the choice to be gay
your character can be bisexual, all the romance options are into whatever.
i meant more that all the companions were DTF not that they'd wanna be in a polycule
i fucked like all my companions and then cut it down to minthara and astarion when they got too needy (problematic evil lady in skin tight black armor, and sassy gay vampire boy)
lmao wait are you serious?
(i never got to play dnd in my life)
There is no limit to what you can do really. It's up to the DM to build narrative around your decisions. If there is some character you want to try and bang, you can try to bang them. It is pretty much a rite of passage in any DnD game that someone has sex whilst all the other players sit around and sremoved at them laying on the moves. Lol at the auto-filter removing one of my words. That isn't a bad word you fools!
Play D&D long enough and you'll inevitably have a campaign that features some level of erotic roleplay, usually in orgy form.
You'll also learn why good DMs tend to just fade-to-black that sort of thing, because unless everyone playing is really into that sort of thing it's going to get cringey very quickly.
that's the thing though - i don't have anyone to play dnd with 😭😭😭
good news it that a lot of people run pick up groups online! my former DM had recruited from discord, reddit, facebook, all over the place. but like with any gaming hobby there are super cringe people out there so it might take time and effort to find a group you like. my advice if you wanna try is to just take it slow and if anyone crosses your boundaries just peace out, there are plenty of folks out there who want to make their tables inviting to everyone.
it's infinitely better at an actual table of course, but online is still fun.
I'm really into that sort of thing and i still only want to play these parts via DMs with the few players i can comfortably do this with.
To be clear, I'm also really into that sort of thing, and I absolutely would never do it sitting at a table or over a Zoom call or whatever with a group. If you were running a campaign with your polycule, sure, go nuts, but otherwise it's just squick all around.
If you were running a campaign with your polycule, sure, go nuts
Arguably the best reason to have a polycule
Reminds me of the reactionary outrage around the Sims 4 gender options. All the fine-tuning gender settings are hidden in another menu past the basic male/female toggle, but that didn't stop chuds from clicking on it and getting mad because they saw a bunch of completely optional settings for different kinds of gender expression.
They are mad about the different colored hair. Thats “gay propaganda” for them.

Steal it
I could, but:
- achievements
- not having to worry about backing up + restoring saves
- increasing my games counter and watching the playtime go up
🥺🥺🥺
you forgot one: updates
this game is going to have a ton of updates and sometimes that's a pain in the ass to deal with when pirating
are the updates going to add new content into the game?
instead of just being bugfixesI think they're adding in a way to change how your character looks, like a magic mirror or something, maybe more shit (here's hoping for the rest of the classes/spells/races from 5e!!). But as of right now, mostly bugfixes, and when a game is 100+gb there's gonna be a few bugs.
try to not spoil me with too much as i just got to act 2 (60 hours played btw). but i have read things about people saying the later chapters seem bare in comparison to the earlier content.
I’ve also heard Halsin isn’t as fleshed out (figuratively only ofc) outside the romance
spoiler
He has a short quest chain in act 2 and some dialogue about the events that caused the shadow curse. I can't recall if he does anything in act 3.
i think there is definitely some issue with Timing. i've read that earlier dev posts (from Act 1 EA era) that said things like romances would be complicated/take time to get to. meanwhile Gale wants to get down immediately after a day or two (not hating just kinda wild how practicing magic went
). maybe bareback fucking isn't "romance" or maybe it is? if i compare it to idk like mass effect, those relationships took a lot of time to get anywhere near 
territory (and those games didn't have a penis slider).edit: tho the game in general is just super horny so idk

Its true. Act 3 is like oh boy, something else regarding bugs.
It is sort of weird that it takes 3 romantic suggestions to be able to turn down Gale but at the same time the one scenr you see people griping about (the magic scene) which asks you if you want to imagine kissing him also asks if you want to show him an image of you ripping off his head. It's clear they are uncomfortable with their just being options listed for gay romance.
I played a woman and Gale gave me huge creep vibes. I kept politely turning him down, until he isolates me on some grass field to tell me he loves me?? Fuck off dude. I've clearly shown you I'm not interested.
Next time we interact he says he's "glad to be with me, though this wasn't the way he imagined"???? Can you shut the fuck up please you incel friendzone loser.
The only time he doesnt talk about how sad he is I won't fuck him is when he talks about his ex girlfriend.I didn't know people were mad about gay sex scenes tho.
Gale is definitely the worst companion, I was given the option to fully turn him down at the Act 1 party though
I turned him down too. Maybe some code got messed up, and he kept pursuing me?
My internal canon was basically me going "Nah dude, I'm going to fuck Karlach. The big buff woman with a nice attitude that doesn't make one nice comment into a whole thing"
He wanted to "teach me magic" despite me being a sorcerer. I nailed every check and he did some reddit-level mansplaining cope of "well you might think it's easy, but it's just because you don't understand. It's actually very complicated". Fuck all the way off dude, you're only on my team bescause I wasted money letting you learn spells before I realised how much you suck.
"
Sure, you can instinctually cast magic, but do you understand it like I do? Didn't think so. 
"Act 2ish Gale spoilers
"Also, I literally fucked magic"
Agreed, Gale kinda gave me the ICK. Idk why he is kinda like tiktoks babygirl.

Most low IQ bullshit I've read all day. Nothing I don't expect from normies though.
