If someone says "this game has very good writing" then this statement is usually followed by the one who said it giving at least a somewhat plausible explanation for why he thinks that the writing was good.

That particular guy simply said "this game's writing is so good that I never noticed how pozzled it was until chuds pointed it out" which is basically telling us that he's indeed talking on bad faith on purpose.

It also means his power of observation is so poor that his opinion on the quality of anything is unreliable

This is literally the argument Hasan uses to justify living in a multi-million dollar mansion while demanding that his audience eat the rich and that America should be a socialist regime and capitalism is theft.

Anyone who implies BG3 has good writing is just a coomer. Femcoomers do nothing but read smut novels, so they're probably the most likely to say it has good writing.

So, you think that, for example, Auntie Ethel's questline is not well written? Because I think it is, the voice acting there is good too.

The broad strokes of BG3's writing (the lore parts in particular) are absolutely bad. There still are some good parts in places, and the game is big enough that most people will find at least one thing they thought was good.

Pretending that these parts don't exist is stupid and undermines why mods like No Alphabets exist. If there was nothing redeemable about the game no one would bother trying to fix it.

It was completely ruined with the ending.

Most of the good stuff this game offers are the mechanics and good graphics I think, hence why cracking the mod toolkit that would allow modders to make entire custom campaigns would be such a good thing.

Hell this basically a spiritual sucesor of the Neverwinter Nights games in that regard, where the vanilla campaigns were pretty "meh" and were basically just overglorified expositions to what the toolkits could do.

I swear the devs anticipated that, which is why they pull the shield around the Inn collapsing out of their *** if you let the ***** die. "You wouldn't let all these innocent people and Jaheira die just to get rid of our strong independent womble character, right?"

I couldn't even bring myself to finish BG3, it became so pozzed before you can even finish Act 2 (not ignoring the pink haired freaks, and mutts in Act 1).

The game is pretty enough with some redeeming features, but that's it; the rest of the equation is like a flimsy plastic bag of dogshit.

You have to be ******** to think the writing is good, the story is diabolical.

I don’t give a **** about depozzing mods. I hope the company and their game fail and fade into obscurity forever. What matters is gatekeeping the community and throwing illegal immigrants like **** and women and brown women out and refusing to buy or play pozzed games.

Doesn’t the no alphabet mod still include gay content because [reasons]it was deemed β€œappropriate” and (probably) got the female author of the mod off?[/reasons]

No seriously, if you want companies to fail you either need to be a) filthy rich enough to sabotage them (legally or otherwise) or b) competent enough at coding to make a superior product and drive them out of business. You don't strike me as a candidate for either option.

Unfortunately in this insufferably globalized world of ours the power of individual customers keeps shrinking. Luckily the dev's competence is decreasing as well, hence **** like Failtard still being a financial flop (at least by current metrics).

As BG3 nicely demonstrated it's now perfectly possible to insert this crap after the fact. And I don't think Steam offers refunds in those cases. But you do you, go ahead and try.

Apparently the four instances left were a degenerate devil, some circus freaks, a (now closeted) couple that had a quest tied to them and the last instance was meant to handled by a separate mod (but as far as I know, it doesn't exist yet).

It reeks of femsmut, especially that point where the ***** makes a flowery comment about how sexy mindflayers are after seeing her **** patron agonisingly turn into one and be slain.

Well at least most characters dont speak like they are from LA in 2024. Mainstory is pretty generic. But some of the motivations from the "villains" make at least sense. Certain stuff like breaking your paladin oath if you throw out the house squatters in act3 dont make sense really. Best the game has going for it, is its player choice and freedom and all the tools you have to deal with people you dont like. Stuff Starfield or Veilguard devs would never do because they think they have educate us stupid people what is right with their black/white morals.

I played mirthwood recently where I got bad guy points for executing a soldier who abandoned his post. People just don't understand law, hierarchy, and duty.
Morality these days is just "be nice" no matter what the consequence

What reason was given for that post abandonement, was the soldier conscripted and forced to join? Some important points I would say. I would only take my duty seriously if I joined up through free will. And countries like north korea force their people for like 5 years or so in military service even the women. Havent played that game. But yes its usually just dont be ******* to people morals these days. But sometimes they deserve to be treated like that.
