I'd prefer if you didn't post at all about the game
As you endlessly post about the game on Codex.

Release teaser released 8h ago, for those that haven't seen it, although I'm pretty sure 95% of the people clicking on this forum, have:

Okay so we've got one third of the trailer dedicated to ******* kissing and *******. The rest is banal boring **** that looks horrible. The entire running animations makes the characters look they have anal plugs in that are the largest size. The dudes are all emasculated. The monsters look like ****.

If ******* ******* is you thang then they got you covered down to the penis slider. If not then move along. I'm in the camp of move along and ignore this pile of ****. Baldur's Gate ends with the old BioWare titles.

I watched it because I didn’t believe you but your assessment of the video was accurate. Very embarrassing to watch actually, if someone you knew caught you watching that they would probably think you were homosexual.

Critical Role: the RPG

See this is what happens when you don't take a stand. One day it's bestiality in your favorite video game and tomorrow it's having romances and sexual encounters with children in a game. That's precisely what happened since gay marriage was legalized. Now they're pushing for all kinds of depravity that is pure degeneracy. Either take a stand or you'll be counted as enabling this **** to continue.

I never lie about what is obvious. You're right in that normies will think you're into bestiality and gay sex because you watched this trailer.

The time for taking a stand against bestiality was 22 years ago when Arcanum released.

Really a bizarre release trailer. Obviously we are all playing it anyway, but this thing looks like some sort of fetish fan trailer.

They're just repeating the mistakes of bioware: pandering to their most vocal audience. Bioware did the same with tumblrites.

Yap, vocal being they keyword here. Its just weird how after so many failure within the entertainment industry those companies are still pandering to their most vocal, but tiny, audience.

If only you guys had closed your eyes harder, then surely Larian wouldn't be pandering to that "vocal minority", right?

https://www.gamesradar.com/baldurs-gate ... ex-scenes/
Baldur's Gate 3 made use of intimacy coordinators for its sex scenes, an apparent first for a traditional video game.

Intimacy coordinators help plan scenes featuring simulated sex or other intimate physical contact in movies and TV, with the goal of making sure that the actors involved are comfortable and don't feel pressured into things they haven't consented to. Use of intimacy coordinators began to grow after the MeToo movement, and today you'll find credits for the role in everything from House of the Dragon to Oppenheimer.

Now intimacy coordinators are working on video games too, it seems. In a report on the game's actors, the BBC notes that Baldur's Gate 3 "employed specially trained intimacy coordinators to make sure actors feel comfortable during romantic scenes."

"I never felt 'yuck' in a recording session at all," Jennifer English, who plays the Cleric companion Shadowheart, said. "And I've got quite a low 'yuck' threshold."

Larian said it believes Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the first traditional video games to make use of intimacy coordinators. The only other example of a game using intimacy coordinators I'm familiar with is 2022's FMV thriller Immortality - though that project has more in common with film and television than it does with traditional video games, at least when it comes to its live-action actors.

Baldur's Gate 3's sex and nudity have become quite a talking point in the weeks leading up to the game's release, with the promise of customizable genitals and the opportunity to have sex with a Druid while he's wildshaped into the form of a grizzly bear. I can offer no judgment. It's been clear at least since Mass Effect in 2007 that video game players love to form romantic relationships with their NPC companions - particularly when those bonds pay off in first-class tickets on the next train to Pound Town.
this is what @rusty_shackleford is shilling for. Shame!

One more crime of this game: I just saw that Matt Mercer is Minsc's voice actor. Why would they do that when Jim Cummings is still a working actor?

I'm more disappointed to know that Jaheira is also in the game, and also a companion. So, we have the cartoon barbarian and now Jaheira as a granny.

Kind of sad that that they would waste resources on digging up these two, when the game could use a new Edwin, Kheldorn or Korgan far more.
