Just because u tolerate something doesnt mean you are ok with it. Life couldnt function like this everyone is flawed to a degree. And the game is good enough to overlook some things but some maybe have less tolerance or have other games to play so they care less. And if people can tolerate less they can just play the first 2 acts. Worse thing there are the male gnoms which constantly talk about their husbands/boyfriends.
Good point. But that has been my point all the way, really. I may have used words/expressions that some have read too much into, or expressed myself in a way that made people with English as their primary language misunderstand me, because that is not the way they would have phrased it. I dunno.
The premise is that at the moment, I am unable to mod BG myself. Hence, I must use the mods provided by others. Those mods do not remove all gays. Hence, I say I accept == tolerate a game with gays in it. I have no further opinions on this, really. I do not hate gays, and I do not hate *****-people as in "on principle", either. I (absolutely) have no need to have them in a game set in fantasy medieval setting, however.
But, I really don't have to remove them, either - except for said gnomes and the utterly obnoxious dame Aylin & Lucretious. Those DO need to be removed, because they lower the game's qualities (of which there are some, yes) considerably. In that regard, NA is a masterpiece.
Another thing that puzzles me somewhat is the extensive use of Gold Dwarves in BG3 - the reason is probably "diversity and stuff". If memory serves, that race is like their human counterparts people of colour more common in the south of Faerûn. It would be nice to see a mod which changes the Gold Dwarves that make no sense into more proper Shield Dwarves. And it would be nice to see a mod that made gnomes and halfings look like gnomes and haflings, not RL dwarves, as I've said before in other threads.
Still, should someone release a mod that removes all gays, *****-people, negroes, asians and what have you which (also in my opinion) IMPROVES the game, I would definitely use it. The setting is after all originally based on medieval Europe at its core. Which means predominantly white, for the Sword Coast at least (while e.g., Chult, Maztica, and Kara-Tur is a different matter). Whatever the libtards at Nexus say.
I also do not hate people who hate gays, *****-people, ****, coloured people or even muslims or libtards on principle, either. I might find them strange, after all I am from a somewhat different cultural background. I try my best to judge someone by their actions and behaviour, first and foremost.
What I can't stand, if it's interesting, are islamists, Antifa/left-wing extremists/totalitarians, the Democrat party the way they have developed since (before?) Obama, the EU which is in fact about to become the EUSSR, and politicians that put personal gain above the needs of those that place them into a position of power. Something we are especially cursed with in my country.
No, I am European. But why do I bother - that's probably the same thing in your eyes.
