    I’ve not played the game. I assume the issue is that gay people do in fact, exist in a game?

    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.

    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 sale

      Being born in the late 80s is a minefield of “around my age or Nazi?” when it comes to user names and emails.

      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

        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

              I 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.

    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.
