What parts of Baldur's Gate 3 should we discuss? How Astarion is a well-written character who deserves more than a rape joke, courtesy of a subhuman swine?
>It's fairly easy, see: when Cazador sent Astarion to the kennel to punish him, do you think Godey boned him?
>It's a silly double entendre, as "boned" usually refers to a sexual act, but since Godey is a skeleton and when know he has beaten Astarion, the joke becomes a textbook example of absurdism.

Am I misconstruing that you seem to be floating the idea that Welch may have been more involved than most people are aware of? How is such speculation helpful in any manner? Maybe Welch, as the subhuman swine once suggested, has a deeply troubled relationship with their parents. Maybe that's why they wrote Astarion and Karlach to be former slaves, abused and traumatized by their parental figures.

Maybe the pig is just mind-bogglingly stupid. Who's to say, right?
>There's an interview posted in this very thread that shows poly was her own idea.
This is misleading. I'll address the relevant part.
>“It used to be set up so that the only way that romances could begin was this one night in the party, where you could only pick one character,” Welch says, “And then basically, that character would end up being your love interest for the whole rest of the game.”
This aligns with what we already know and have experienced in-game, that you can start a romance at the tiefling party (or outside), while also showing interest in another companion in Act 1. You are not locked into a romance until Act 2, where you'll have to choose if you have two competing romantic interests. There are "dating" and "partnered" flags in the code for this reason. This is what is meant by "love triangles" and has nothing to do with poly content. Did you speedread that part, or are you simply being dishonest?
