Any type of "drama" that transpires in Cucksus Mods should be the type that utterly destroys that site.
The modding scene needs to get rid of the monopoly of that old and bloated place.

"Karlach (L) now mentions her foray with a halfling man instead of a woman."
Huh? when did this happen? i mean the original instance
The only case i am aware of is her fantasizing about a threesome that includes a halfling woman and a some 10 foot guy if you play as her in a campaign

Probably that one where she talks about putting her hand up a halfling woman's skirt. It doesn't exist anymore cuz it's about a halfling man now.MordiB wrote: β March 25th, 2025, 02:32"Karlach (L) now mentions her foray with a halfling man instead of a woman."

Yup that's the threesome fantasy, thank you for clearing that up 
Just a quick question.
I have the previous Pak Lingo v5.2.0 and the file size is 578kb, but the newer v6.0.1 is only 53kb?
Similarly, the DialogTree v5.0.0 (which actually downloads as a file saying it's v1.0.0) is only 89kb, but the newest v6.0.0 one is 764kb?
I just wondered what caused the massive shrinkage of one and the massive growth of the other?

Different compression. Also DialogTree is now a bit more optimised because it is toolkit compatible. you legit have more stuff for lessjefi2000 wrote: β March 29th, 2025, 21:33Just a quick question.

Lia is the one shouting loudly talking about staying and helping out, while Cal is really just being non-confrontational and speaking with that same soft voice as Arka's friend. its funny how much girlbossing and soft-boying happens in just the Grove alone. i dont think i ever met a guy who would act as softly as some of these male tieflings. lolLancaster wrote: β March 16th, 2025, 03:41

Who are the warrior classes amongst your companions? Women. Lae'zel is the fighter, Karlach is the barbarian. Although cleric is somewhat neutral, they use armor so there's Shadowheart. While Astarion is the ****** rogue. Gale is the dorky wizard and Wyll the ****** warlock.
Minsc is the only male warrior and joins extremely late. Halsin is a ****** degenerate that, even though is built like a warrior for an elf, is still feminine and is a caster class unless you use his wildshape. For Jaheira, that was on BioWare to make her a girlboss that squashed her husband's balls at every chance she got and she was a figthter/druid multiclass in the first game so I can't really blame Larian for that one.
Oh right, how to forget the Paladin Minthara, who has a face manlier than Astarion's and the voice of an old chain smoker hag. At least, once again, her being a girlboss is baked into the lore of drow so I guess we can let that one slide. But, she had to a melee class such as Paladin, can't have the women wearing robes and not armor and melee weapons because that would be sexist.
Thanks so much to Orin and everyone else depozzing this game, one mod at the time. I will wait until the degirlboss mod is ready and out to try and do another playthrough.
EDIT: Yeah, Mol is such a trash character that gets away with everything because the game says so. I forgot how much I hated her.

Yeah I noticed that pretty early on when I was playing for the first time. All the guys have the feminine twink caster classes like some *******, whereas the girls are all badass melee warriors in armor and ****. Clearly, these are gender-swapped characters. If you imagine the entire party in reverse genders suddenly everything fits so much more and makes so much more sense. Which is why i always change their classes.

Its also obvious why Alfira never became a true companion, despite the community begging for it since the start. She would look feminine (at least in compharison to hideous LaeZel and ugly muscular Karlach) she would be a caster in a Bard, very feminine class, and she has a feminine personality. AKA she would be everything Larian despises. So they even blue-ball with her when you play The Dark Urge, to bait the male players into thinking they can have a cute bard tiefling GF - finally a break from the ugly LaeZel, and body-builder Karlach - but oh.. you kill Alfira and get no choice in it, oops. Another blue-balling happens with the Dream Guardian. In her case, you design her appearence yourself, so you can make her look like an Angel - and she acts very nice to you and later is basically half-naked and you can hug her too, baiting you into thinking that maybe you could free her from the prism later and date her - but oh... shes a male mindflayer.
Its also interesting that, all of the Male romances/companions, are all regular looking humans and elves, 4 white guys and 1 black guy. But the Female romances/companions are (almost) all these weird Hideous races (Githyanki) and even if they come from a race that could look cute (tiefling) they made Karlach look like a male body builder that painted his body red. Thisd be like if Astarion was a Gnome or a Dwarf or if Gale was something ugly like a Half-Orc or Gith. It feels like their intention was for the male players to get the short end of the stick when it comes to the romances, but I also feel like all of the guys, Astarion, Wyll, Gale, arent really "manly" so. Perhaps both sides are disappointed. I can only judge the female companions in that way though.

Alfira is also a ****, if I recall correctly. The tiefling with the long ponytail is her girlfriend or something. I think that's the real reason she wasn't made a companion is that the ***** that wrote her would have to come to terms with male characters profaning Alfira's pussy with their ugly masculine, patriarchal and phallocentric genitals.Sunlite wrote: β March 31st, 2025, 01:31Yeah I noticed that pretty early on when I was playing for the first time.

I read a rumor that Karlach was supposed to be a man early in development and I think it tracks. According to what some folks have said here she even fingers the protagonist on their romance scene. The entire muscular female body type should be reserved for orcs and dragonborn. The writing in this game was clearly made by ******, ***** and other degenerate feminist types and made to appeal to redditor femcels (pleonasm) and is definitely the worst part of the game.

Well... I mean, if you romanced the muscled woman that talks like a redditor, I say you deserve that scene since you reaped what you sowed. And, I wager is not talked about it much because of the shame associated with admiting to romancing the muscled woman that talks like a redditor.

Its funny, cuz as ive seen, Redditors coping mechanism with how ugly the women are, is that they convinced themselves that they actually like them. They even got nicknames for them like "Bae'Zel".

This is exactly the reason why the ****** and other degenerate feminists are creating characters and writing them in the way they have for years now. To slowly try to normalize ****** as "natural". The cope the redditors have is that its "rEaLiStIc". When by definition that has to be false, since ****** are an extreme minority and women on average must be average looking and not ugly. And then you compare the models for the mocap for a lot of games from the recent decade and the models are actually better looking than their videogame counterparts, so they are purposefully uglifying them in game to continue their push to normalize women looking like men and men looking like women to erase sex/gender in the minds of normie cattle and by proxy making it easy for ****** to pass.Sunlite wrote: β March 31st, 2025, 02:20Its funny, cuz as ive seen, Redditors coping mechanism with how ugly the women are, is that they convinced themselves that they actually like them.

They also get upset at you for saying that they are ugly and that you want them to look and act better. lol They also have no valid answers as to why all the male companions look like regular humans.
The silver lining of it all is that they can't sell it without infiltrating an existing successful IP. Baldur's Gate 3 did well because of the D&D brand, and previous infinity engine titles. If they made an original title with **** sucking vampire twinks, and gay ******* who prance around the campfire at night, it'd get the same treatment as AC Shadows.Cipher wrote: β March 31st, 2025, 02:36This is exactly the reason why the ****** and other degenerate feminists are creating characters and writing them in the way they have for years now.

Male companions all fall short. one is an ugly black guy with no personality. Gale is just average and constantly brings up his ex. Astarion is just oozing gay and a massive ****. Same with halsin.

She would look feminine (at least in compharison to hideous LaeZel and ugly muscular Karlach) she would be a caster in a Bard, very feminine class, and she has a feminine personality. AKA she would be everything Larian despises. So they even blue-ball with her when you play The Dark Urge, to bait the male players into thinking they can have a cute bard tiefling GF - finally a break from the ugly LaeZel, and body-builder Karlach - but oh.. you kill Alfira and get no choice in it, oops. Another blue-balling happens with the Dream Guardian. In her case, you design her appearence yourself, so you can make her look like an Angel - and she acts very nice to you and later is basically half-naked and you can hug her too, baiting you into thinking that maybe you could free her from the prism later and date her - but oh... shes a male mindflayer.
Its also interesting that, all of the Male romances/companions, are all regular looking humans and elves, 4 white guys and 1 black guy. But the Female romances/companions are (almost) all these weird Hideous races (Githyanki) and even if they come from a race that could look cute (tiefling) they made Karlach look like a male body builder that painted his body red. Thisd be like if Astarion was a Gnome or a Dwarf or if Gale was something ugly like a Half-Orc or Gith. It feels like their intention was for the male players to get the short end of the stick when it comes to the romances, but I also feel like all of the guys, Astarion, Wyll, Gale, arent really "manly" so. Perhaps both sides are disappointed. I can only judge the female companions in that way though.
That looks really good. Making this game better everyday.Lancaster wrote: β March 30th, 2025, 02:55
This is a WIP, and by no means the final draft. https://f.rpghq.org/4cigns2a6lRA.mp4?n=Gur Male.mp4

Thanks for the female perspective. So I was right that what Larian tried to make up for with not making them Githyankis and Dwarfes, they fell short at with personality. lolorinEsque wrote: β March 31st, 2025, 10:10
Male companions all fall short. one is an ugly black guy with no personality. Gale is just average and constantly brings up his ex. Astarion is just oozing gay and a massive ****. Same with halsin. So when we end up choosing the male guardian, disappointment.. its a ******* squid. And it's ex form was a ***** fits no where in lore.
As for Gale, I thought maybe the idea that he would choose the regular human player over a whole Goddess would be appealing as a concept.
Astarion is ridiculously popular with straight girls* though, every fan platform is full of Astarion x My Self-Insert Dark Gothic Succubus Elf.
I assume it's all the former Twilight girlies who are now 25-30 and who never moved past the broody emo phase.
* I say straight girls because ****** will typically self-insert as """"lesbians"""" romancing shart or karlach.

Most male main characters have physical and facial characteristics akin to supermodels, while the female ones look at best average and hideous at worst. This wasn't done on purpose, sure.

Just a random meme I found. pretty sure some user here has created a mod specifically for ShadowHeart that made her face look less flat and more round.Sunlite wrote: β March 31st, 2025, 12:32holy **** thats wild.

It's actually how Shadowheart used to look in Early Access, it's the datamined version of her head.Sunlite wrote: β March 31st, 2025, 12:32holy **** thats wild.
