You must be smoking some good **** to say that any of BG3 characters are better than Jacob. Mass Effect blandest character still runs circles around BG3 best characters.
Tell me one thing about Jacob. Not even an interesting thing, just a thing.

A steadfast career soldier who became disillusioned with the military leadership ,opting to side with questionable organization for the greater good.

Is it original, **** no. Hackneyed ,absolutely .But at least it’s not the annoying sex pest characters in BG3 cast with the added irritation of **** humour.
I'd take unoriginal hackneyed garbage you'd find off of History channel in the 2000s over the contemporary, ghetto, free-pass Los Angeles residents we get now.

That's not even the real issue for me. No character should be flawless — even Superman has his shadows and weaknesses.

Video games aren’t reality. In real life, women can’t fight, can’t lead, they’re fearful, incapable creatures. But in a video game? I can buy into a woman fighting or leading, as long as she’s well-written and/or attractive. It's fiction.

The real problem lies with how ******* are written. Writers are either too afraid or too hypocrite to portray them as actual characters — with light and darkness. They try so hard to convince us that ******* are just inherently good that they stop feeling like characters at all. Their biggest 'flaw' ends up being something dull like: 'I care too much.' That's so pathetic.

You see the same issue with the super women in Marvel — take Captain Marvel, for example. Flawless, supposedly perfect in every way. Bland, ********, and ridiculous. No one likes that except maybe real-life NPCs.
It is both things, for me.

The Civil Rights democracy-makers aren't "AFRAID" of *******, they have no power, they are using ******* as a bioweapon.

There's nothing to "restore" with regards to post-early access content, because all that's left is some traces of it in the files. We have no idea what would have been in the uppercity, for example. And I don't want to play some modder's interpretation of it.

I checked her Twitter, and holy ****. It’s literally the quintessence of woke NPC behavior. Every single take from Ukraine to AI is the dumbest, most wrongheaded woke opinion possible.
So don't get your hopes up. This ***** is dumb as ****.
