Heh, arguing with norfleet.
Norfleet is, uhm, challenging to argue with but I think he's a good dude nonetheless.

Trickster is going to eventually snap and assault a cashier because she "******" him by smiling at another customer.

I still don't understand what he's on about, other than he is deeply bothered when other characters he isn't romancing decide to romance other characters he's not romancing. What possible importance any of this has is completely lost on me.
I am deeply bothered you romanced a black woman.

Ohh god....
Also, almost the same type of "argumentation" as here. Why am I not surprised that idiots on both sides are the same?

Thanks. Coming from a weeb manchild with a zero brain, that sounds like a compliment. Especially in discussions when you morons are literally trying to defend modern woke game design, but failed miserably. Zero actual arguments.

No romance involved, it was arranged based on our compatible stats. Also, she's technically whiter by percentage of European DNA than I am.

I'm not sure that the "and they will" logically follows from that. Consider that GTA5 reduces crime.

You're trying to argue against a moral panic? Useless. It's like trying to convince a mob of filthy, stinking peasants that the person in front of them isn't a witch. Most of the comments, filled with demonization, making mountains out of molehills, and threats to anyone who even looks at this game are a perfect illustration of that.

Well, why do witches burn? It's because they're made of wood. And what do we know about wood? That it floats on water. But what ALSO floats on water? That's right, a duck. So therefore, if the person weighs as much as a duck...

Between low tier women who love to see manlets and manlets themselves, this is still weird to see.

And their official Discord is filled with gay ***** aswell, it's terrible that it still has good modding tips and help on there.

These people are so self-absorbed they blind themselves to believe in their little cult. One of the comment "one of us, one of us" made me chuckle, it really is a cult of mental illness.

Most people have absolutely no idea what the demographics of people who play RPGs is.

This outcome honestly should not be considered terribly surprising, considering that there wasn't exactly a lot of serious competition. I literally know nothing about these characters as the game will not run on my potato, but if you lined them up, I could immediately predict which one was going to be the most popular.

She's the only white woman who doesn't look absolutely terrible. That's the only reason. The cope from those soy creatures about "...MAH LESBIANS" is an illusion that could only emerge from being terminally online in a woke echo chamber and never touching grass.

I mean, your options are pointy-eared elf chick, some kind of angry red demon, and pinch-faced frog person. This is not exactly a complicated slate of choices. Who could have guessed that the closest thing that passes for a normal person would win majority?

I found karlach as a character very appealing, though I hated how Manish they made her face + women shouldn't be barbarians.

Laezel initially was very girl boss to the point it was obnoxious, though I found it compelling how she became more feminine/opened up more as the romance progressed + also being a woman in a fighter class is just stupid.
Just in general I have my problems with the gith, mostly because it's monarchy that's also... Militaristic? A militaristic patriarchal society would just make more sense personally.

Though just out of the gate shadow heart is obviously the best, being in a role that actually makes sense for a woman (cleric) and is like, the only normal person in the party without any weird **** going on (aside from the cult stuff)

Sir, are you aware that Shadowheart will cheat on you for a bear, and sleeps with ********?

That's literally every character though, but I will always revile the devs for making them all pan despite that being very unlikely especially in a fantasy setting based of medieval/low tech times, none of the women would realistically ever sleep with eachother and vise versa for men.

At least it's optional so I can at least overlook it for the broader character writing.

Of course they should. How do you think the next generation of barbarians even happens? What exactly do you expect the daughters of barbarians to be? Some OTHER class? That would mean you'd be expecting barbarians to have class, and the entire point of being a barbarian is a lack of class.

I remind you that while it's a fantasy setting, one of them is an elf, the other is a demon, and the other is a frog. I don't think you can apply standards of traditional humanity here. As we all know, elves are not lewd, they're a proud and noble race.

Verisimilitude. If you're not going to bother with narrative or logical consistency, no-one should bother with your 'game'.

Karlach's only redeeming quality is her face. Sure she has strong features but it's still a feminine face, the previous iterations were much uglier. She has a hideous male body though. And her character is awful, a big reddit chungus. I changed her using the Appearence Edit Enhanced mod and I thought I wouldn't mind her personality once she's cute but no, it's just ridiculous to have this backstory with this personality.

I don't mind githyankis being girl bosses and fighters as much as other races because they're psionic space frogs who've been waging a crusade for their entire history. I can accept that their males and females are biologically closer. And also if you listen to her dialogues about the silver sword, she says it uses the psionic powers of its user to basically strike by itself, and if you look at how she holds the sword, she doesn't physically hold it, she uses telekinesis. My Lae'zel build was Wild Magic Barbarian + pact of the blade GOO Warlock so I could dump strength and still use the silver greatsword and it felt right. And Lae'zel was a cute tsundere.

And Shadowheart was perfect yeah, cute face, cute voice, edgy but it's a trauma hiding a loving personality and you can literally fix her. Some people speak of **** **** but I only saw the opposite. Like when I approached the drow whores in the brothel with Shadowheart in my party she said she'd rather have our first night together with just us two. Also she made the ending a lot more impactful because my character was an oath of the ancients paladin and I had planned for him to stop adventuring and live with his Shadowife and her parents in her cottage near nature and surrounded by animals, so the sacrifice to save the world felt like a real sacrifice and not just "That's a wrap! End of the movie, the characters had no future anyway, doesn't matter what happens".
