This is actually pretty funny, since Gale is a manipulative liar.

If a real woman would wrote that, what a miserable life she must have had.

A game of infinite potential, watered down by pretentious soycuck writing and characters. The only character I was fond of was my own. And he was a genocidal maniac.

Please, don't take this as an attack towards you, specifically, but why would you use such woke libtard lingo?

There is no such thing as "CoNvEnTiOnAlLy" attractive. Men and women are either attractive or they are not. They can be average looking without necessarily being ugly. But, even newborn babies can tell who has an attractive face and who doesn't.

If you say so. :scratch:

There's objectively attractive, then there's the more subjectively attractive that still couldn't reasonably be considered decidedly unattractive, even by individual preferences. The latter seems to be what you're strictly confining to the average category, but one man's average is another man's 10/10. Could I say all this instead of a single word that happens to bother you? Sure, but why waste time say lot word when few word do trick.

How "hot" you think someone is, meaning if you think Female Actress A is "hotter" or "more attractive" than Female Actress B, that is the subjective. But, there is objective markers for attractiveness. That is not conventional, if it was, then newborn babies wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Put it another way, what makes Shart "more" conventionally attractive than the others, as you said?

It's just my own speculation from what I've seen in their games. It truly appears that they go out of their way to make most of the female characters super fuckable, while most of the men are either ugly or average-looking at best (character models and faces; DOS1 through BG3). Smacks of coomer-brain to me, but again it's just my perception. One immediate example in BG3 I can think of is how male Githyanki sport the lore-friendly Auschwitz bodies, while the females are curiously filled out by comparison. They should have skeletal bodies too, yet they don't. They may have figured Lae'zel wouldn't be fuckable if she looked like an anorexic. There's also all the ***** clothes and such, for example all the female nobles dressing like they work in a brothel, etc.

There's also just them going out of their way to give Shart as much content as possible, both in the full game and through patches where she consistently takes priority over the other companions (I understand why: she's the conventionally attractive female, and gamers are simps). Ultimately, it's all circumstantial, but the pattern is impossible to ignore.

I'm not disagreeing with the point of objective attractiveness—because I do agree, but I did say she was the conventionally attractive one, not more conventionally attractive. The others are what I consider ugly, yet even here we still have simps for Minthara and Lae'zel. That being said, Shart may as well be ugly; to me, she's unlikable to the point where it overrides the pretty face (not that that stops most people, historically). :|

Larian's character design choice is the biggest mystery to me, 2023 game with Oblivion quality character presets, but without Oblivion's character creation menu features? The whole thing smells like there was nobody supervising 3D artists at all, or there was some coomer grandpa trying to shove his wet dream into the game. Or both. Dudes indeed look much uglier than women, heads in general have worse proportions than a botox victim. Don't forget about elves with aged flawed human skin, wrinkles and politically correct nationality that is native for a place like Feywild.

Obvious favoritism for Shadowheart is so obvious it's nauseating, Shadowlands part is literally her one personal quest, can't step anywhere without Shar this, Shar that, oh hey, look, it's all Shar's doings... again. But what I found absolutely laughable is how only Shart has a reaction for the player's character sitting on her chair at camp, but other companions don't have that same or similar feature. So much for equality, isn't it, Larian? :pipe-hat:

I just remember beating it on Honor Mode once, hearing them talk about going to Amn and leading a civil war to kill the githyanki lich in the epilogue with some new cutscenes added to it, and then uninstalling once Larian came out and said "NO DLC." While teasing it in game.

Then discovering the save file was 20+ GB. Which is unheard of for any other game I have ever played where its maybe a few KB. I hope they fired whatever glownigger spook programmed the save functionality in BG3.
