Baldur's Gate 3

Someone should make a mod that turns Astarion into a pretty girl.

You're actually gayer than me if you believe that

So cute. Don't be mad that my girl is a princess and yours takes cocks in excess.

If she wasn't a Drow, retained her early-access appearance, and didn't sound like a chain-smoking hag, she'd be the best romance option in the game without a doubt.

So I found an article saying that Mintara is the only one who lets you be PoLiAmOrI. Does that make her more of a ***** than Shadowheart?

Just don't bother. Honestly it is not worth it to romance someone in this game. Companions are a disappointment because of a shallow dialogue system and a lack of talent in the writing department. I only went along with Karlach because I wanted to **** Shadowheart but this ***** was fine with it. Heard they patched in evil endings so sometime in the future I'll do a durge run and kill them all or even better - replay first two games, there is a recent enchanted edition and I still haven't play it yet.

Why are you saying she? It's a man

I've over 1400 hours in the game and have seen every single line of dialogue she has. She is the only one i ever romance because she is 100% NOT down with the poly degeneracy. This is fake news.

They are all boring and mid at best to be honest. Even Jacob from ME2 was more interesting than any companion from BG3. This game obviously has problems with story and writing and it's more than just lack of experienced writers on team or inclusion o modern politics.

WTF, Jacob is just Wyll in space—they’re exactly the same. Same story (replace Mizora with Cerberus), same daddy issues (except Jacob’s is a rapist cult leader), same wannabe hero, same bland, boring, flawless ******* with the most empty dialogue you could possibly write.

I've once read a comment on youtube calling Wyll the typical "honorable ******" (their words, not mine), and that’s exactly what these characters are: the flawless ****** hero we’re supposed to believe in. Except they’re so soulless that nobody can buy into their ********.

I didn't say he was an interesting character I said he was better written than Wyll or any other BG3 companion - more fleshed out hence felt more "alive" or "believable".

How exactly is he "better written than Wyll" and more specifically, better than any other BG3 companion, when every other companion is already better written than Wyll, who is essentially just a carbon copy of Jacob in every way?

That doesn’t make any sense.

Ok. Now I am confused. Can you guys tell me what was your favourite companion in BG3 and why do you think he/she is written better than ******* Jacob? The mere fact that they will **** anything looking their way speaks volumes to me. Any gender, any background, any origin character, believer of any God. How can you call it better writing than, again, ******* Jacob?

Any BG3 companion without exception is better than Jacob, including the ones I killed on sight.

Interesting. Now I have another irrelevant question. Do you think there are no companions worse than Jacob in any other rpgs?

The BG3 companions being irreverent whores who come across like tourists from Portland visiting the Sword Coast for sex tourism would've been a good foil IF the Dead Three could end up as companions. But then the Dark Urge would have even more content that would only make sense if you picked him to play as, and the vast amount of naughty things you'd be unable to do from a villain's perspective would end up hurting their credibility.

Less people talk about the dead three's shortcomings precisely because they aren't on the screen for very long. 2/3 of them you don't even meet until the very end of Act 2. Ignoring all the canonicity and coherence with the other Baldur's Gate titles, there was a real chance for Larian to really adapt the "power-hungry curse monger", but you only get a piece of that in BG3. And by power-hungry I don't mean the Dark Urge's connection to bhaal, and any of the endings you get from submitting to the urge, I mean more like a character like Gul'dan from Warcraft, or Boris Balkan from the movie Ninth Gate, characters that are essentially middle-management for a big bad, but despise who they see as posers lingering around them for the same reason, very few games let you carry around that burden and then let you blow your gasket by the end W/ a reaction.

Brief example: A genuine Lolth Tav would see only upside for killing like 3/4ths of the party, but if you do that the game doesn't respond well to you. Lolth doesn't even appear in the game.

Yeah that's what I told them, that he's too flawless & soulless.

People that have actually lived around *******, understand what they're like, what the best of them are like, yet they're continually depicted as the "honorable ******" above everyone else, like the only cop you can trust & rely on.
It's clear that this does nothing to improve ****** culture, or give them a role model to follow. So it's really just about conditioning sheltered White people into a reverso twilight world, where all White men are either subservient urban twinks or the hicks from Deliverance, and all the nogs are honourable, good-hearted rogues, misunderstood heroes and cowardly *****.

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.

also we should have dogs fighting and leading too because it's fiction

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.

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.
