I don't disagree, there's been opportunities to be a reprobate in games for a long time. But the difference I see here is that rather than keeping it hidden away as if they were ashamed (aka the good old days), Larian is actually using that in it's advertising.

This isn't true. The bear sex thing happened at an event where the audience was picking the dialogue options. It was the fujos in the audience who were being perverts. It's not in any of their actual advertisements.

It was in one of the Panels from Hell.

Okay, enjoy your game where literally the first thing you do is determine your character's **** size. Very fun for a jew.

Breast and genital size can't be changed. Only circumcision and pubic hair life choices.

"JUST DON'T PLAY THE PARTS WITH BESTIALITY, OR *******, OR ********, OR WHY SUPPORTING DEMONS IS GOOD. YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S WRONG." Like we haven't been hearing that argument for the past several years about the slide into honestly, no-hyperbole degeneracy in games.

Cool, cool. I wouldn't expect a jew to understand why someone with morals might be opposed to this.
Is this really the first DnD game where there's been a "good demon" you don't feel like you are reaching at all here?

There are some lawful evil devils that can be bargained with, but the whole point of demons is that they are chaotic evil.

Oh, thanks. Apologies for not being up on my penis inspection options.

No.
Drow are supposed to be evil too.. does that mean the Drizzt novel series is promoting anti-reglion and degeneracy?

Yes. Drow should not be playable.

Also, drow are blue these days? Is having fantasy villains with black skin illegal in america now?

I want to say Drow have been blue since ~2E era, but I may be wrong. I'd have to go check.

I suspect the reason they're portrayed as blue is because plain black just doesn't look good in visual representations. It sounds good when describing them.
Unless someone can find evidence to the contrary.

Even early artistic depictions showed them as a brownish color iirc.

Menzoberranzan's front cover depicts Drizzt thusly:

…But this is his portrait ingame:

Minus 70 Bucks is a strong Trickery domain spell.

They got blue around 3E.. which is around when the art stopped going for gritty realistic and opted for "Novel Cover".
I didn't hate it TBH.. but I understand the calls for Decline..

Where the art really nose dived was 4E .. That's when it became ****** Flash Animation Tier.. DnD art has sucked since.

Yea Pure black drow is nostalgic for me but I prefer a dark grey personally.. especially for my matron mommy.

The itemization is, quite surprisingly, good. Didn't think Larian had it in them after DOS1 & DOS2 randomized colored item puke loot. Most magical items that aren't Sword +1 have interesting effects.

what's the practical benefit for an invisible weapon?

Easier for your Rabi to perform circumcisions.. the poor goys never see it coming.

It's a tiefling bro. WOTC has been trying to sell Tieflings as a playable race that isn't evil for over 15 years. (We lost gnomes for these *******)
Calling fowl now is such a cope.

There is a "DO YOU WANT TO SEE NUDITY YES OR NO" prompt at the start of the game.

This feels like someone bitching that their hand hurts after touching a hot stove.

The important distinction is whether the ****** NPC's keep flirting with your character after turning the nudity off.

It's like with Dragon Age, there was Zevran in the first game but his romance dialogus was low key and if you turn him down he will never bring it up again, while in the second game pretty much every party member flirts with you all the time.

They don't bring it up if you turn them down, the problem is they're all fuckin' gay and it's stupid.

It's how you can tell it was written by a woman, because they don't get the same feeling as a man does when interacting with a ***.

First homeworld book was filled with Gay (lesbo) Sex orgies, (and Demon on Drow Rape Murder Rituals) and the main character is an evil race (Elf ******) becoming a good-goy (Drizzt Dindu Nuffin)

Acrux reasons for why BG3 is ****, actually applies to all of DnD / Forgotten Realms going back to the 90's. Especially if he's gonna argue "It doesn't matter if I engage with it or not at my DM table, existing = Jewish subversive tricks!!"

If that's how he rolls fine, Hug your bible bro, 2pure4me..

*lesbo* is the keyword here - old D&D sexualized content was intended for straight males. That is an important difference to what we have here at our hands. I am an atheist and I like dark fantasy, including gruesome sexual themes if they benefit the story, but this is just ****** ****, made for the Twitter ****** crowd.

Wait so everybody talks about how game the game is going to be them everyone buys it anyway? Lol.

@rusty_shackleford is who said the game tried to make him kill bad for killing a "good" demon. Maybe he can tell more.

To be honest fam a half-demon or whatever a "tiefling" is is a way cooler concept than midge flavor #3, whatever you think of the people who play them.

Anders was basically a sex pest in DA2 and you were stuck with him.

Vampire guy in BG3 is basically Milo Yinnapolis.. he's super edgy / broody / self-absorbed and constantly flirty. Luckily you can just poke him with a knife a few times until he stops moving.

Gnomes were just the offcast part of dwarves people didn't like.

Both tieflings and gnomes are lame as ****. In fact the older you get the more you just settle for playing a human.

I always appreciate a good ol steriotypical dwarf that drinks ale, hates elves and talks with a thick scottish accent.
Feels grounded in a setting where everything is SUPER_WHACKY!!

Enhance Ability spell is really worth memorizing btw, it gives advantage in skill checks — roll twice, drop lowest. You can cast it before the die roll.
You can't get that and guidance from the same person btw, so if you want both you'll need two separate people with it.
