I don't know who would be triggered harder by old school fantasy art between woke right and woke left.

Well I don't see a single ****** on sight here, and the women are properly showing the good stuff like they should, so the only ones who would get triggered by this would be the usual suspects. :pipe-thinking:

If you really want to be pedantic about it, there were periods in which everyone was naked even in most of the religious art produced for the church, and attitudes about nudity in art varied even between popes. Hence the inclusion of tactical fig leaves that can often be conveniently removed or replaced depending on prevailing attitudes.

Are you telling me that once upon a time, people didn't have fig leaves for genitalia?

I think this tweet marks the end of the BG III support coming from Larian:



I would assume that any mods or any other content made from now on will not need to be subjected to any more updates. (I hope)

Just like Yves, I chase tales

Out of curiosity I checked SteamCharts to see if the player count was dying down a bit, but it peaked at about 80,000 today. Holy moly.

What are they even doing at this point? I have to assume it's just a bunch of women in act 1 pretending it's the sims playing dressup or something.

"I don't think there were specific plans for him to be a love interest," Welch told me in a follow-up interview after their talk. However, the fanfiction community surrounding the game was clear about what they wanted, and what they wanted was "daddy Halsin".
Not to suck myself off too much here but I ******* called it. Halsin was actually a pretty typical Druid bro in the alpha game. Just a old wise bear fucko who ran the circle I don't even think he was a companion yet. They turned him into a giant sex pest.

******* ruined.

Well now I know their next game is gonna be the worst of BG3 though.

If anything BG3's pre-release content was the only thing making it good... it nose dives in act 2 and all the cringe sex Furry **** came after they hired these *******.

I went over the data with @orinEsque in chat, but BG3 has the highest mid->late game dropoff rate of any comparable RPG I could find, by a significant amount.

Apparently Larian just released a "Modding naturals" mod for Baldur's Gate 3 and I don't know what that even is supposed to mean.
