Gay, bestiality, turn-based weenie slop gay sex simulator. And they still don't stfu about how AMAZING they want us to think it is. FU.

Best old school crpg in 20 years

>>3761889 (OP)
Maybe if you played the game instead of hyperfixating on a few select bad things you heard some dipshit on youtube talk about, you'd realize it is in fact good

>>3761894
i though tmaybe (not really its turn-based which cuts the heart out of the gameplay) bnut I can tell at a passing glance that the game is ultra-fag coded. I think it's the giant lesbian man-hater characters I am most unwilling to encounter. I think its funny the excuses. "You can just not do that!" "You can just kill that character" "Nothing is forced on you" (it is)

>>3761906
Lol you're an idiot

>>3761907
And yep, that's what the counter-arguments look like. There is apparently no defending it.

>>3761906
Indeed sir it is very woke!! Avoid avoid, don't buy!!!

>>3761906
It's really not forced on you. The fact you believe that shows how little you know about the game.

>>3761889 (OP)
my favorite rpg from the last decade

>>3761889 (OP)
I hate that there are no face sliders. I just want to self-insert myself and be permanently naked.

>>3761906
"Coded" just means "projecting qualities onto this character that I want them to have." Its a dumb shitty buzzword.
>a passing glance
Glad to see you being honest about your lack of real information

i find it funny that the schizoid bg3 hater posted his favorite games once and it was literally generic ps5 console slop <80iq NPC playlist, trash like Monster hunter wilds etc absolutely embarrassing. Just shows that people who plays that garbage has something wrong with their head.

>>3761906
Shadowheart is hot and you are gay or addicted to pornography. In this light, you are not unlike the developers of the game, but unlike them, you have made nothing of value.

you're all fucking gay

brony lolcow cope n seethe thread

>>3761986
brony played nwn for 2k hours, hes very autistic

>>3761959
There's times when it's appropriate and has actually tangible value to say, like calling a weapon type often has qualities that benefit a certain class more than others "rogue coded" or "barbarian coded" or whatever. Usually it's just someone trying to pretend there's subtext though.

>>3761889 (OP)
Have sex

>>3761889 (OP)
It's not my favorite game but if you can't understand why it's considered a masterpiece in its own right in this day and age of rushed, indie, F2P garbage there's nothing we can do because the problem is you're retarded.

> weenie slop gay sex simulator
This shit was such a tiny insignificant part of the game which tells me you didn't actually play the game

>>3762128
if it's part of the game, it's not a game, its propaganda.

>>3762148
it wasnt part of my game cause i didnt choose gay sex dialogue options like you closeted faggot

is there a baldur's gate 3 clone without satanism and degeneracy?

with immersive cutscenes, companions, rpg elements, turn based, controller

No. And you shouldn't want another turn-based Dragon Age clone.

>>3762120
I love nwn and bg3 too.

>>3761906
For me it's the black women in positions of power

>>3761889 (OP)
I only wish we got DoS3 instead of wizard of the coast licenesed Not-DoS3.

BG3 isn't a Balder's Gate game. It's a mediocre RPG for diversity hires to express how much they hate making money off White people.

OP is right, despite what some here might argue. The alphabet-diversity aspects of the game are splattered all over it, in bits and pieces. It's a boiled frog scenario, and they succeeded. Pic related is part of a diary from Shadowheart's childhood friend, Shadow being a prominent companion, so it isn't really minor at all. There are other examples, such as the dyke Aylin, which is a important character in Act 2. I could go on but the point is made.
Those being said, the game is solid. Just install Realms Restored and No-Alphabets mods, they help immensely to enjoy the game without all this forced rainbow bullshit.

>>3763083
Sorry, posted the one from an early version of the No-Alphabets mod by mistake. This is the actual vanilla game one. It even mentions fucking dead naming, and the bg3 wiki mentions that the character is trans. You can't make this shit up.

>>3761892
Fpbp

>>3762170
You do realize that magic is regarded in nearly all Christian faiths as being satanic, right?
Leave it to a modern Christian, though, to pick and choose what teachings to abide by

>>3763094
Where did I mention Christianity or being Christian? Also, you commit the fallacy of attacking the person, not what I presented. You can't argue back, so you shriek and spew nonsense. Ever pathetic, ever fool.

>>3763099
Oh, sorry. Satan is part of the Abrahamic mythology and a key figure in Christianity, so I thought you were Christian. You're Jewish, then?
Also, I'm not "arguing back". You made no argument to begin with. You asked a question

>>3761889 (OP)
>not taking the opportunity to put down and/or kill any nig, globohomo faggot or feminazi you see in your way as the ULTRACHUD
You've got to look at the big picture. You lack imagination.

Plus there are mods (not in nexus of course) if you're too lazy for that sort of thing.

>>3762128
>This shit was such a tiny insignificant part of the game
Dunno, from the way people outside of 4chan talk about it, THIS seem like the part that they like the most.

Its kinda obvious - more people are gonna get hooked by hot characters and not shitty tactical minigame (such is DnD).

>>3763102
Hes christian dont let him try to trick you. Hes on his way to make a thread about JRPGs always depict the catholic church as evil in their games.

/thread
OP is contrarian fag

>>3763083
>>3763087
Seems a little odd that the rewrite is still basically progressive in its outlook and presents not conforming to your gender role as a good, even brave thing to do. Why go to the trouble of writing out mentions of trannies in the game if you're still going to go to bat for that stuff?

>>3763351
I think it is different now. That was just a pic of an early change I saw in the forums the mod is hosted at. That being said, it does change the character into a male, so no trannydom.

>>3761892
>Best old school crpg in 20 years
It really isn't. It pays lipservice to being a CRPG and Baldur's Gate game, while outright ruining or mishandling everything returning from prior Baldur's Gate games.

It then combines it with horrifically paced and designed combat, bad to mediocre inconsistent writing, absolutely artociously bad characters (so bad you're better off murdering them to avoid any exposure to their content), with frontloaded polish with the game getting worse and worse the further you progress. To top it off, the RNG design is so amateurish the designers must've gotten an F in math.

>>3761892
What is old school about it?

>>3763503
half the NPCs are LGBT and 2/3 of the acts are about how immigrants coming to your home is a good thing actually and diversity is our strength. All the themes expected from an old school rpg.

>>3761889 (OP)
I want chud rpg players to leave

>>3762120
NwN has figuratively infinite content because of fan modules and persistent worlds.

No one's forcing you to do anything. You have to willingly say "yes, fuck me papa bear" to do the bestiality thing.

There are some dialogues where you are nudged, sometimes forced, to be stupid. The rapefugee welcome in from of the gate, for instance.

>>3763273

of course they do. They are all sex-starved losers that have found a new way to indulge themselves and let their headcanon run wild.
Look at the average nu-dnd players and nothing comes as a surprise.
>>3762283
you can literally tell all the companions to fuck off with their advances. Plus having hearts to hearts, which can happen independently to romancing, just by advancing their questline, is not gay, unless you misunderstand emapthy and emotions for gayness.

>not even a single well written and non-shit companion
This is the worst sin the game committed.

>>3764570
Astarion is ok~ish. At least he has a full arc. The others are bland and honestly, all six characters are very samey. Two habe bombs in them, all of them have some high end bad guy or girl they have strong feelings for, all of them are descriptive, list could go on for long.

What do you want us? An apology from the hardcore RPG fans and developers to you as a tourist or former fan?

"Dear mr. Nobody, all us leftists, liberals, queers, unionized workers and sluts would like to formally apologize for making art you claimed you to enjoy for decades. We are sorry we are productive and creative."

Honestly you people give the Randian public of Atlas Shrugged a run for their money lol, it's all take take take while you contribute nothing. If all your identified enemies and buggaboos abandoned RPGs you'd be reduced to AI slop in under 5 yeara.

>>3762172
>turned based dragon age
You know you could play origins as a turned base?
DA:O is one of the best games I have ever played. The worst thing is the soft level cap, that you can mod around

The worst thing about BG3 is the companions. I am working on a second run with the ones I didn't use the first time, so hopefully they are better. But the stories of Asterion, Karlach, Will, and Shadowheart are all pretty bad imo.
Also it stopped running on the steam deck well so that is balls.

>>3767108

FTFY. The narrator's delivery, especially as her tone often clashes with the narrative present, it quite bad in particular.

another gem from that Anon Data Center of Bullshit & Projection
I know it's easier to assume the majority always thinks the way you do, but it may not be the case

I accidentally bought it not knowing that there was so much gay shit in it. After meeting a gay vampire that was continuously flirty with me (despite playing as a paladin who fought him immediately) and tried to molest me in my sleep, and noticing that my other two male party members were more like butt buddies than brothers and arms I decided to hold off on it. Would now be a good time to play it with mods to remove all that stuff or since I have the Steam version should I wait so an update doesn't break anything?
(To the games benefit at least when I killed the faggot vampire my party didn't freak out on me for it. Still I really just wanted good party members not ones that act like fags.)

>>3761889 (OP)
For a game that supposedly cares so much about 'diversity', it's baffling how limited the character customization is. A handful of preset faces, no body tats, no body customization, and the choice of one singular facial tat. Dragon's Dogma came out over a decade ago. The technology for robust character customization is old at this point, there's no technical limitations they have to work through; the developers and directors are simply lazy and untalented or at worst just don't want you to make interesting characters so they intentionally don't give you the tools for it.

>>3761889 (OP)
You can skip all the dialogue-cinematics, as annoying as they are. You miss nothing.
That can be overlooked
What can not be overlooked is
>CHAINING SYSTEM
It is clunky, it sucked in D:OS, it sucked in D:OS2, it suck in BG2.
All they had to do was implement drag-select, like any good CRPG of this type does.
Chaining sucks on controller, it sucks on mouse/keyboard. It slows the game down incredibly
>Mouseclick delay/sluggishness
Even with all the retarded settings adjusted you have to hold the mousebutton down for longer than a regular click to select a character
There isn't a neat quick key-shortcut to select your characters that makes sense
Keybindings are shit
>autosave before every combat encounter
No surprises, no mystery, you'll know when a battle is about to happen
>linear with the illusion of openness
You're just running around in straight little intertwining knot hubs, there is no exploration outside fumbling around trying to orient yourself in the zoom-in induced myopia
>magical items are boring and nothing outside "you gain a spell, a skill or a reaction or a plus to one stat roll"
The story and the characters, however shit they might be - and truly, both suck ass - it's not this that makes the game shit. It's that it's a game equivalent of software bloat. The chaining system really is fucking retarded, reinventing the wheel, but making it square.

>>3761889 (OP)
I miss classical fantasy tropes. Halfling rogue, elven ranger and dwarven fighter as companions. Instead I get drama people.

>>3771795
You forgot to mention the fact that nearly all the dialogue leads to the same outcome, Raphael being infamous in this regard since you can literally tell him that you want to sell your soul right now and he’ll still tell you to “shop around, exhaust your options” and then meet him in the house of hope later. The game expects you to follow a linear pattern of behavior and doesn’t account for much player agency outside of homicide. The limited variety of outcomes in quest choices is part of what unintentionally makes a Durge playthrough more freeing than a standard Tav playthrough, since you now have more approaches to situations since you can murder more NPC’s than any other origin allows.

>>3763479
>horrifically paced and designed combat

>>3777906

>>3761889 (OP)
Sounds like a 10/10 RPG.

This is my first crpg, and I'm struggling a bit. Is there ever going to be a point where my character scales enough to be more powerful than enemies instead of having to always be on equal footing but then outnumbered? I feel like my characters as individual fighters are mediocre and I have to rely on Looney Tunes shit like greasing floors or blowing up conveniently placed barrels to win.

>>3775694
did someone say GOODBERRIES???
I hope Halsin shares some goodberries with me later...

>>3781549
you snowball in strength as you gain various overpowered items throughout Act 2 and Act 3
theres some nice stuff in Act 1, but it's Act 2 where you really start to find fun stuf

I don't even mind the modern day gender politics being in the game, I just wish it would take a back seat to the interesting things, like how the world is literally teeming with magic. I'd like to be able to talk to my companions about their character arcs without the game expecting that I'm trying to fuck them. "Oh hey Halsin! Any ideas on what we should do about this Shadow Curse? Anal sex? What do you mean I've been giving you signals, I just asked about our quest!"

>>3761889 (OP)

>>3761889 (OP)
I thought this game was gonna be dogshit because I played both of the pathfinder games and they sucked massive donkey balls, and I don't even like 5e on the tabletop. But I actually enjoyed the game quite a lot. The plot is pretty interesting and the gameplay is slimmed down enough to not be massively tedious to play. The flashy effects and new features make it pretty fun. I wouldn't say it's a great game, or a classic game, or at the level of any of my favourite RPGs, but it's worth playing. It's definitely not worth buying though, it's massively overpriced. Side point the gay/sex stuff is massively overstated, you can just ignore it if you want. My character was a stone cold virgin for the entire game who never interacted with companions, never got propositioned, and immediately killed everyone he saw engaged in copulation.

Yes, you owe it to all of us. You can do it with money for all the games you ruined, or your holes, I don't really care which.

>>3784949
It doesn't have the oppressive leftist pushed ideology at you like say, veilguard or even DA2, just the cringey gender stuff in the background ("masc" for illusions, please miss me with this obnoxious shit, obligatory tranny expose' in some random backstory).

Case in point, they're all playersexual instead of MAN HATING SKITTLES DYKE or whatever you got when the US leftists were trying to send hard anti-gamergate signals all the time. Belgium seemed to be looking at that from a far off lens by contrast, and is just kinda degenerate by nature I assume, as is the whole RPG industry and fandom.

It's a landmark RPG with leaps and bounds of interactivity, quality voice acting and mocap, aesthetics, etc. I could do with a more serious and less reddit take on things but the industry is healing from that IMO. The overwhelming quality overwhelms the taste of a few lefty poops in the soup.

>>3786356
Imagine creating an obnoxious infantile cult religion out of this shit and expecting everyone to play along.
>>3786371
More leftists false flagging/strawmanning what they believe the right thinks on steam community troll posts or whatever, just more infantile noise that you fell for and/or are trying to tell us about how your uncle saw it at nintendo right now.

Oh, I agree, but I mating press Bae'zel, Karlac, and Shadowheart regularly and ignore the gay/bear shit. Some romance can certainly round out an otherwise dry fantasy story, I'd even say that about LOTR. It gives more motivation for players to finish and has been a cheap tactic since Donkey Kong Mario went to save the princess but one I'm ok with.

I never said I wasn't part of the degeneracy, just miss me with leftists attempting to tell me how to think about race, gender, immigration, "colonialism" aka pioneering, soft sell of communism, corrupt nepo baby economic policy etc. and we're good. Beyond not enjoying heavy handed political messaging in games in the first place, I don't enjoy stupid people trying to steer the ship of state through le grass roots to the kiddies media when the states they do run are rioting and on fire half the time. These aren't difficult concepts. Just close the koolaid stand, pony up to reality and Trump won't have as much grass roots power as currently he does either which would presumably be the desired outcome for them as well, but eh, koolaid is what koolaid does.

If all you think about is gay sex it's a (You) problem.

As gay as this game is, anon is right. I played it twice and had a lot of fun. First game I nearly killed all the companions because I hated them... but still, I enjoyed the time I had with it. I like finding stuff, and BG3 did it just as well as the OG's. The story sucks, but the gameplay matters more.

>the industry is healing
Absolutely not. The cancer spread just slowed down somewhat because of all the obvious contradictions but it's still spreading because there is currently no effective antidote to any of this shit.

Is Gayle trying to trick me into contractually consensual sex again?

>it's an amazing game because it doesn't trigger my austistic leftist hating brain and i'll conveniently ignore all the leftist shit in the game because i'm retarded

All you admitted is that you value production values over anything else to the point where your subhuman brain considers this "healing" and a landmark title.
If anything, retards like you is why the genre will never heal.

He's trolling of course but there are plenty of cucks out there for real.

He was indeed trying again.
The worst thing about the gay romances isn't that it's just gay. It's that you can't have a deep friendship with anyone. I wish there were more platonic options other than
1. gay sex
2. I hate you Gale

the game allowing you to be gay, fuck animals, or have sex, has almost nothing at all to do with why it's bad

it's bad because unlike in D&D where the character's attributes are intimately related to its identity, the race, class, stats, progress, items, etc have virtually nothing to do with your character's characterization, the story, worldbuilding, etc. You are playing two distinct games when you play BG3 - the combat game and the story game. The story game is at least an RPG and your choices matter to some small extent with some pretty serious guardrails that plays not that dissimilar to a taleworlds game (that's understandable to a degree once a game has enough content, but still an area where rpgs should be pushing the envelope in a perfect world; and by the way taleworlds does it better lmao) but the combat game is not an rpg at all because of this very clear delineation between your characterization and what items, stats, abilities, they possess
This is highlighted by the fact that people who desperately want there to be a connection between these two distinct games, will rave about how as a bard you have xyz irrelevant dialogue option "Look guys, my class actually matters!" no it really doesn't. what matters is that you have a parasite in your head, because that's what matters in the story. you being a wizard is entirely irrelevant

they try to get around this by giving some class and race characterization to side characters, but that's not enough. the main character needs to have meaningful characterization in an rpg
