@rlier23 “Wokeness isn’t that bad in bg3”

That’s the game where your male character gets lovingly sodimized by a bear, yeah? And they made a big deal out of that feature in the marketing? Id hate to see what this guy thinks IS bad
@jimmybuffettfanaccount @rlier23 You have to intentionally look for bear sex. Thats not a defense though, It shouldn't be in the game but the vast majority of people wont be making the deviant choices that lead to bear fucking.
@Paleloon @rlier23 You advertise your game as a bestial sodomy simulator, people will remember your game as a bestial sodomy simulator. If you were excited for the game and didn’t want to be the kind of person who plays bestial sodomy simulators, I’m sorry life went that way for you.
@jimmybuffettfanaccount @rlier23 I had intentions to play it until i saw how gay it was then i just decided to not even bother pirating it and just wait for a better game

@Paleloon @jimmybuffettfanaccount @rlier23 Someone posted this review earlier, it’s a pretty comprehensive look at everything right and wrong with the game.

TL;DR the character creator is as bad as we heard, the story is good for 2 acts then drops it in the 3rd, the combat is fixed-up 5E that doesn’t maintain a good balance. The wokeness is more of a constant nuisance for “noticers” than outright shoved in your face, except for some nearly unavoidable gayness.

I’m skipping, I’m not desperate enough for a time sink to put up with that. There’s some returning characters from BG1&2, but I’m at the point where I can let old favorite franchises go, I don’t need to inflict Current Year sequels on myself.

Looking at screenshots and videos, every woman in the game is manfaced hideous, including the woman on that video's thumbnail. I find this more offensive than the bear

@udongle @rlier23 @Paleloon @jimmybuffettfanaccount Yeah he calls that out specifically, at 14:17

That’s kind of what I mean, everyone can tell that the female appearances in modern games feel wrong, but you can’t always put a finger on it. You have to notice, or have it pointed out, that they elongate models’ faces to be more masculine without doing any other work.

In times past that might be simply a unique character design. But in Current Year it’s clear that it’s an intentional effect, to uglify women and to normalize the tranny uncanny valley.

@PunishedD @udongle @rlier23 @Paleloon @jimmybuffettfanaccount Someone said it has something to do with them mocapping shit now vs just animating it. Aloy from Horizon had the same issue. All the BG 3 stuff was apparently mocap of the voice actors as well.

That sounds to me like a cheap excuse.
Mocapped output can be fixed. And once you get the multipliers correct once, it should be an automated process.
