BG3 could be pretty woke, but most of it was your choice, you could make the playable gay characters straight or even kill them.

I think the lesson these woke devs will take away is that woke games can be a success, because they personally would have chosen all of the woke choices.
Yeah, none of the BG3 story or side quests ever had this shit forced on you or whatever, aside the companions. And even then you shut them down right away, didnt even have to kill them, and you never heard a thing after that. I actually found the overly feminine vampire rogue kinda funny.

So dumb, also completely ruins potential immersion with this even being a thing.

Nothing wrong with having alternative lifestyle options. Just don't force that shit on me. And extra bonus points for letting me bloodily murder every homo in the game.

The gay vampire dude didn't even bother me. He was probably my favorite companion when I wasn't running my topless harem.

A lot of these twitter bio people are just doing a bunch of bullshit posturing, while this guy seems like he's legit had a pretty rough life trapped in there with himself. I mean, I wish him well now that he's a chick and seems to be doing a bit better.

That said, I wonder if the shareholders and owners were clued in on this game being designed very specifically for a 0.5% market share of the population that usually doesn't actually buy games? Like does the dev arm talk to the finance arm? Is it all just Blackrock justifying everything?


Read the rest of that post, faggot.

"This isn't dialogue, it's a sermon"

Asmon hit the nail on the head there. History's probably gonna look back at this era as being a very weird one (depending on who writes said history).

First time ive seen pronouns being an option in any game - to make this worse no matter what you do, you cant seem to make a human female not seem like shes got some form of facial hair. Perhaps its just the shadow/lighting and it will change once i leave the char creator. Oh but hey you can make a female with a "bulge" like shes well hung.

NPR was great prior to Barry getting elected. Used to listen to it all the time, but the 2008 election season is where I noticed a massive shift in content. Never tuned in since then. Much better options out there now with alternative media.

Pretty much. The 2000's were when I saw NPR as being anti-establishment due to their strong reporting on the "War on Terror" horseshit and various establishment hoodwinking that went along with it.

The problem is, I was confusing anti-republican for "anti-establishment". They're happy to take on the establishment when the establishment is frontmanned by an R, but when the establishment is leaning D, they'll prop up bullshit establishment narratives all day. Like the car attacks thing.

In short, they're just like everybody else in old media.

Back on topic, I'm still not playing Dragon Age: Veilguard

As a hot sauce connoisseur (who rarely actually consumes hot sauce despite having a collection of like 18 different sauces), all of these Taco Bell sauces are atrociously bad. Haven't had a single one and gone "that was good" after. At least Diablo has heat. On the flipside, McDonalds hot sauce is decent on the breakfast burritos and IMO much better than Taco Bell's offerings.

My current sauce of the month is Frohlich, german garlic truffle sauce. Can get a pretty similar thing with that Truff sauce they sell in supermarkets here, though it'll be expensive and not as good as Frohlich.

The winners are Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. So people will look back and see optional gay romances and some gay characters.

I don't think any of this SJW pronoun shit is making beloved best game of all time lists.

There's no gay shit in Elden Ring right? It's very classic fantasy princess bride style with the finger maidens and Ranni. There are some cool buddy quests too like Dialo and Yura but they are strictly platonic. The game is a classic but morbid fairy tale. Set up very ridigly towards a male protagonist.

The kind of people who love all this woke/political bullshit in video games don't even like or care about video games, they simply see them as yet another means to push their propaganda on the public.

Miquella is a gay two spirit tranny and I am not exaggerating, the DLC delves more into it but that's all in the base game too.

Miquella is more of a Cupid/Eros trickster deity with FromSoft morbid twist. Definitely not a protagonist love interest. Not sure if it was portrayed as a trans or as some sort of dual sex entity like a hermaphrodite. Either way he's portrayed as the big bad evil and the whole plot is to bash his brains in. None of the NPCs in the expansion were very interesting so no idea if any of them are romances.
