Looked it up. She is indeed a man hater and isn't even blonde. I'm disappointed.

This is a good point. I felt like bringing it up since you seemed to hold the opinion that all women are like that, and since I personally hate the mentality of "all women are selfish thots" and "all men are abusive rapists", I like to point out that no, 50% of the population does not adhere to one stereotype. Though I doubt my opinions on either side will fly on here OR in the liberal reddit echo chambers.

You will soon find out that some here behave exactly as obnoxious and childish as libtards (meaning: not all liberals, but some) accuse (all) conservatives of.

Something tells me you really like playing as knights who dress in white and use lances in this game.

Nope. Always play as a wizard or bard of sorts.

Yea you engage in the behavior of a wizard I'll give you that friendo
Has larian said anything about when they're going to stop releasing massive patches that add a bunch of content so I can stop FOMOing and finish my playthrough?

Yes, patch 7 is supposed to be the last major patch.

I'm well aware by this point. If you guys know of any places in the internet that aren't on either side of the extremes, let me know ( have yet to find one myself). Youtube seems to be the only place but even that has to be carefully maneuvered around.

I know one, it's called RPGHQ

More seriously, yes you won't like some people here that's the cost of freedom of expression, you'll see people saying shit you don't like. You can ignore them mentally or use the actual ignore function.

Other places like r/kotakuinaction etc. are also like this but they're hosted in platforms where you can't really say things you'd want to often.

I was referring to a place that doesn't lean too heavily into either side. This place is slightly preferable to echo chambers like reddit but it's going too hard in the opposite direction for me personally. I just want to talk about nerdy stuff without being censored OR listening to people hate on blacks or women. (You guys feel free to do that. Just not what I'm looking for.)

Appreciate the answer I suppose I'd have to (heaven forbid) go out into the real world to have normal conversations. Scary stuff

Yeah that's my point though, you can't have both. If people truly aren't censored, you'll then see people saying things you don't like, that's inevitable.

As I said (you didn't catch my edit in time), there's ignore function for that.

Agreed, totally fair

Is BG3 done getting updated and ready to be modded and played?

@Boontaker

the question was answered 6 posts above you:




Patch 7 will be the last one.

[Acrux]

Okay, I just learned about the Emperor. Is there a single existing character that didn't get screwed over?

Maybe especially the one that they named the games after?

Didn't you know? This foreign concept called friendship does not exist. If two people of any kind spent significant time together and didn't hate each other, they must have been in a sexual relationship.

Only thing I dislike is it gave a definitive end to Balduran's adventures. The emperor isn't him, mindflayers aren't the people they kill.

I wish there were more consequences for siding with him or not, and using the tadpoles. Zero tension or moral dilemmas to consider. They built it up like the tadpoles were important, then all it did was make you slightly ugly.

It's jarring how serious they take minor choices in the first half of the game then start completely disregarding major choices in the latter half. Feels like a different team took over.

Do the tadpoles really not matter even if you fill your brain with them until a "do you want to be a mindflayer y/n" cutscene happens?

They changed it so the more tadpoles you use, the harder it is to resist the plot forcing you to become a mindflayer. If you use more than 4 you have to clear a 99 skill check. If you use none its a stupidly easy to just say "no way faggot" to the emperor.

This sounds not as lame as in previous posts.

It's still very disappointing.
The whole point was that having tadpole powers would be at the cost of losing allies and companions.
~10 months after release and there's almost no reason to NOT consume tadpoles since there's no narrative downside to it. Aside from some meaningless cosmetic change and harder checks, your companions seemingly won't care and NPCs will still treat you like normal.
Even though you got the Narrator at the tutorial "warning" the player about using the tadpole, there's no significant impact. The story stays the same.

Also, that one ring Omeluum gives you in the Underdark? Totally useless. During the EA stage it was supposed to help the player suppress tadpole influence while preventing usage of Illithid abilities. Now it's just a normal "anti-charm" ring.

I think they make the dice roll check harder when the Emperor asks you to turn half mind-flayer versus not using them at all.
