Gaider gets in trouble for suggesting Morrigan shouldn't have male "linebacker" shoulders

what an interesting time we live in

I thought that would get some pushback.

Sauce for the goose.

I always thought there was something off about her shoulders in that scene.

Answer is simple: cut sex scenes in an RPG altogether.

It's degenerate, lazy and awkward. Imply, sure. Whatever. No actual scenes. This is not about prudence, sex scenes simply never ever work in RPGs.

Not talking out of my ass here, we have decades of examples now. Not one success. Every single one is cringe or awkward or stupid. "Ride the Bull".

That's one of Gaider's vomit-inducing ideas btw.

The problem with 'sex scenes' in video games is that they're fan-service. Contrast it to something like American Psycho's sex scene that isn't actually about the sex. The sex is a performance act, and Bateman is performing for himself.
There's simply no way RPG sex scenes can be done well if the intention is to be mediocre pornography for the player.

A woman who enjoys sex is a massive turn-off and I'm sick of pretending it's not.

I don't know what you're talking about, that sex scene in Gothic 2 is pure kino.

Post by **rusty_shackleford** » February 27th, 2023, 11:43

Oh and if you haven't suffered through DOS2's sex scenes yet, you haven't seen shit.
It is hands down the absolute worst sex scene in the history of gaming.

Meanwhile Todd still does the puritan fade to black. Bethesdards win again!

Bull was Patrick Weekes's character. Not Gaider's type at all, he does sensitive men (Anomen, Carth, Alistair, Fenris, Dorian).

That's even more damning. He should've picked some special snowflake pronouns. He/Him is akin to coming out as a white supremacist.

A reminder that most of developers in the past have always been leftwing. Them cancelling the older leftists is just them eating themselves.

Anyone who says Sex Scenes in gaming can't work - hasn't looked at my 400 GB mod folder for Skyrim.

Trust me.. when my characters aren't t-posing through the ground or the game isn't crashing, it's preemo ~ ~ ~

EDIT:

Also LOL@GAYDER

You can rape stronk emancipated shield maidens in your modded Skyrim so it automatically makes the experience better than 99% of boring romances in vidya.

I was specifically talking about the sex scenes, and as Gaider is the head-writer he would have signed off on those. You're right he didn't create the character, but that's another discussion. A better head-writer would have said "no, let's not have a sex scene with a farm animal".

I haven't suffered through DoS2 at all. After the tutorial and experiencing that atrocious armor system I uninstalled it immediately.
