You can say faggot here.
You SHOULD say faggot here.
As it doesn't pertain exclusively to gay men anymore. Or even primarily, as per the South Park "Fags" episode from years ago.

Just registered to say thank you to OP for this mod. As a huge Fan of Baldurs Gate 1+2 I was so hyped for this game but once I read how ridiculously lgbt+ focused it is I refused to buy it

I have nothing against some lgbt characters like in older BioWare games but making soooo many NPC's lgbt+ is ridiculous and just disgusting propaganda. I was really disappointed

Now I can buy it. A shame this mod isnt known more, Tons of people would like something like this.

I hope you also add some option so Gale and other male companions to stop trying to bang the MC every Minute. The Nexus mod just Disables any romance apparently.

There's three option, disable female romance, disable male romance or disable all romance. But it actually just works by disabling reputation gain with the character, so you have issues with getting their quests etc. That stuff isn't my priority right now, but who knows I may have a gander once i'm happy with this mod.

This mod has 3 versions - no male companion romance / no female companion romance / no romance at all.
It seems to be their way of bypassing tranny jannies.

Overcame that challenge~ Sebastian is now a woman! All 88 lines + references from Astarion & narrator now show Sebastienne as female. That was actually a bigger change than Nocturne.

Image

Version 1.6
  1. Sebastian is now Sebastienne.
  2. Her portrait, body and voice reflect this.
  3. The narrator refers to her as "her". So does Astarion. ( Watch Video)

5. Nine-fingers - embedded in DnD lore.
WOTC lore means nothing to me.

Also, I never played much past the prologue yet (I did the temple of Death, but never entered the Druid Grove, because I didn't give a shit. So why is Sebastien, Sebastienne an issue?

Halsin was a last minute shoe-in for degenerates and Astarion is the obligatory bi thief you see in fucking crpg.
Halsin is straight-up disgusting. Astarion is likeable enough, thanks to his voice actor, but I'm straight-up shocked they didn't make him a bard (because all bards are gay AF anyway).
(Even Shakespeare wrote love sonnets about a guy, ffs...)

Good to now that you can disable only the male companion romances although if their quests are good it would be a shame to not get them

Still this is mod definitely far more important right now. Dont think I would play the game without it. There seems to be lgbt+ stuff in every corner of the original looking at your list of changes

It's almost all in act 3. You'll wanna start, because act 1 and 2 are very long.

Holy shit thank you for this. Legit registered just to say thanks. I was already using Better Aesthetics, but I kind of want to use this, or some variaton. I usuallydon't really mind gays, fags and whatnot in games, as long as they're not insufferable or retarded. But holy shit Aylin is one of the worst asshole characters I've ever seen and I'm so angry she's forced on you being a literal Mary Sue and main quest necessity and a prerogative to turn Shadowheart if romanced. I know I can sell Aylin to the mage, but I'm hoping there's gonna be some mod to still kill her and have Shadowheart turn anyway. I'm gonna follow this mod eagerly

Glad to see more people able to enjoy the game because of this mod. I myself am looking forward to actually finishing my first.

Hold off on that desire to kill until you experience Ser Aylin. Imo despite referring to himself in third person he sounds very cool and gallant. But maybe that's just me, I love the male Guardian voice.

You'll see nine fingers in other dnd games or movie. Whereas you'll never see Sebastian again. Plus sebas lines are fucking disgusting and clearly written for a female. Men don't even talk like that.

Fuck me, this is Mary Sue fan fiction level bullshit.
One of the WotC vermin's personal fantasy characters given a prominent role in lore? Way too perfect.
I hate that bullshit. It's why I loathe Elminster as well.

Did atleast one person get the BG1 reference?

Elminister (aka FR gandalf) is the bastard that comes in when you are all about to be wiped out, kills the enemy, takes the best loot and fucks off in pnp. He's also a notoriously badly written Gary Stu in Ed greenwood's wish fulfillment fantasies. I have gripes about his shitty harper organisation but that's a different topic. Elminister and Drizzt ... plz no more.

Only decent inserts are the ones from Gygax & his players because they were actual characters first rather than being written as fiction.

He's basically that nerd with the hot Goth gf, that gets to meet your favourite heavy metal bands. He only gets to do that because the gf is hot, not because he's worked for it. Basically. It's a bit more complicated than that, but you get the drift.

Thank you so much for this mod! You made me want to play the game again. Usually I kill Isobel and either kill Aylin or sell her to Lorroakan (I can't stand her) because I don't want to hear a word about their degeneracy but with your mod I might let them live for once.
I have a problem getting the NoAlphabetsVoice.pak to work though. I used Mod Manager and installed the script extender but Lunkbug's voice still says "husband" while his text says "healer" and Sebastienne still has a male voice. I tried making the voice.pak top priority in the load order but it didn't seem to make a difference.

When I first imported the voice pak to Mod Manager it put it in a bottom category called "Override" but I right clicked the voice pak to "allow in load order" so it should be working.

When I first imported the voice pak to Mod Manager it put it in a bottom category called "Override" but I right clicked the voice pak to "allow in load order" so it should be working.
Right, so lets try a few things:
1. Try and update your script extender just in case: https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se/releases
2. Check the mods folder BG3MManager > Go > Mods Folder Then make sure the NoAlphabetsVoice.pak file is there. Quote me the file size.
3. Just leaving the .pak in the bottom is perfectly fine. E.g. this is my absolute minimal load order.
► Show Spoiler
4. Note: you don't need mod fixer for any of my mods to work.
5. You can try adding the mod to the load order then putting it at the VERY bottom. You want it to load last.
6. If above doesn't work: do you own other voice changing mods? Could they be interfering? Try disabling anything you think could be interfering.
7. Don't forget to export load order.

Hope you can get it working. Unfortunately, Aylin will take some time. There's over 140 voice lines I've got to edit. Then sculpt Ser Aylin's head.
