Being woke doesn't matter. It's all about the perceived quality of the game
>>730926947YouR 2 years late
>>730926947I just played trough this game with the mod that removes all trannies and faggots.
Ans the quality is also nothing impressive. It's just Divinity with WRPG "cinematic" dialogue. The fact the devs are cucked faggots who complained that the game is played by white men, promoted the game with nigger characters and wasted time on writing, directing and recording gay sex really brings the game down.
>>730926947People liked how reactive the game was. It was basically the game Bioware was always pretending to make, but never actually did.They also liked how Larian wasn't actively trying to scam them like every other developer.The woke, on the other hand, is subtle and I think that's partially because most of the woke was coming from Hasbro/WotC, not Larian themselves. The effect of that is that the game world doesn't really feel all that immersive or like a real place. It feels more like community theater. Even the biggest BG3 fans don't really claim that BG3 feels like a coherent world of fantasy that they get immersed in.

>>730927083Hence why I said "perceived quality"

>>730927115>The woke, on the other hand, is subtleYeah, non-binary options on the character creator screen and a party of ugly peoplw is really subtle
>>730927231>HAHAHAHAHAI see you're not familiar with Hasbro/WotC>Larian complained about people making white male characters instead of quirky nigger OC's.They were clearly complaining that more people weren't picking the fantastical races like Tiefling, Githyanki and Dragonborn, not that they weren't niggers.>The fact the writing is shit and you have an annoying quirk chungus special snowflake character running around is mainly to blame.No, it's mostly that none of the places you visit feel like real places because practically every character you meet feels like they were randomized rather than being a thought out part of the setting. One of the first enemies you run into is a gnome yelling and physically intimidating a man twice his size.
Post the gameplay
>>730927330Yeah, actually. Woke can be way, WAY more blatant. The average normgroid won't even notice the woke in BG3. It goes right over their heads.
>>730927115The woke isn’t subtle but is luckily optional for the most part.
>>730927115>that's partially because most of the woke was coming from Hasbro/WotCAnon, this is the same cope people are using concerning woke stuff in Owlcat (it was out of their hands).Larian chose this. It's also not a big deal because it's not too over-the-top.
>>730927601To the average normie, it is.>>730927606Anon, WotC was consulting them on every aspect of the game. Compare BG3 to DOS2.
chuds literally worship cyberpunk 2077 which is the most zogged + søy + trans game of all time. there hasn't been a single game ever that died because of woke.
More like, if the game is good enough in other areas people are willing to look past retarded woke shit.>BG3>gay gnomes everywhere, body types and cock selectors, bear sex>rest of the game is a solid RPG with meaningful choices, companion romances, serviceable writing, decent combat, good itemization, good graphics and art style, good animations, Larian perfecting their engine and their style of turn-based RPG gameplay after multiple entries>Concord>woke garbage, black tranny characters with pronoun faggotry front and center>fuck ugly art style, generic hero shooter garbage gameplay, completely uninspired setting, all the character are ugly>Veilguard>barving tranny woke shit turned up to 11, like twice as bad as BG3 in terms of woke somehow>boring fucking nu dragon age combat that nobody gives a shit about, shitty puzzles for 10 year olds, awful writing, the only thing notable about the game is how retardedly woke it is and how the cutscenes are a lolcow simulator
>>730927513No one wants to see the animation slog of a turn based combat game.
>>730927704>Anon, WotC was consulting them on every aspect of the gameyes on lore info, and were largely given a lot of free reign. Swens talked about it, and is part of why he was so mad that all the WotC people that worked with Larian got laid off by Hasbro/WotC.This is cope on your part, and it's kinda silly. No one "forced" Larian to do anything. In fact when WotC even mildly pressured them, Larian walked.
>>730927115>The woke, on the other hand, is subtle and I think that's partially because most of the woke was coming from Hasbro/WotC, not Larian themselves.So THIS is how some people are tricking themselves into thinking "BG3's woke is okay" when it normally forces them to lose their minds.How are they going to react to Divinity? And I thought a number of Larian employees were exposed as being blue hairs before?
>>730927732>More like, if the game is good enough in other areas people are willing to look past retarded woke shit.thisbg3 is good despite the woke shitbut it would\ve been better without it
>>730927704>Compare BG3 to DOS2.they got a shit ton of brand new writers in between DOS2 and BG3. that's likely the cause
>>730927732So you're saying the games being boring are what kills the games, and not the woke?
>>730927996It's more like an uphill struggle against the odds. The more woke you add to a game the harder you have to try to make an actual good game to make up for it, because normal people aren't going to see black tranny vitiligo cock sliders front and center on all the marketing and think "yeah this is the game for me", they need an actual game behind it.
>>730927732>Gale>WyllBoth of them try to get into your pants of you talk to them once, you have to go out of your way for them to not like you.>You have to scroll down from all the gay sex options to get to the story when meeting Halsin for the first time in a peaceful setting.>Act2 is centerrd around a dyke couple and they tell you to fuck off for they have to scissor first>Act3 is just casually woke all around and people talk about their gay partners casually like it's normal >50% of ALL characters are niggers no matter their actual fantasy race.
>>730927115>The woke, on the other hand, is subtleRMAO
>>730928114Hi dragoniri
>>730927549Using the most extreme example doesn't make BG3 less egregious. It's like defending She-Hulk because Hazbin Hotel exists
If you make a fun commie game with gay characters people will play that game, because people like fun games
>>730928102Cyberpunk has female penis sliders within 1 minute of the game, is the most boring RPG of all time, was/is riddled with bugs and is still worshiped despite all of that.
>>730926947>Being woke doesn't matterIt mattered to me, which is why I didn't buy it. It didn't matter to you because you're a faggot.
>>730927330>ugly peopleHaving a representation of your own kind is not something to criticize the game about
>>730926947and its shit on both frontsIts only pushed on here because its a Tencent game and this board might as well be named (五毛
>>730926947Personally i like the game but i do have some non woke related complains about it. Firstly the way character creation works is too simplified for my tastes. I´m not asking something like the pathfinder games but a little more complexity and control would have been nice. Secondly i do have some issues with how disjointed some things feel. I feel that something are good individually but not as part of an organic, more cohesive whole. For example the urgency over the parasite issue seems to clash with the game invitation to explore the world and aid NPCs on quests. Like if you have a parasite in your brain you wouldn´t just stop to help to free a captured artists, rescue some people from a fire or help a woman that´s been tricked by a hag. You´ll have your own shit to worry about.Also, indirectly related to this is the whole dream visitor thing. The way i see it nobody with a brain would fall for it in the context of having been infected with a mind flyer parasite. As it´s implemented it is obviously some form of telepathic deception. Maybe if the dark urge played a harder role in the whole thing and plagued the player with more unspeakable horrors i could see some embracing the power regardless. Resorting to one evil to get rid of another evil probably makes some sort of sense. I read the whole thing was reworked during early access so maybe former ideas made more sense?I still do like the game though.
>>730931214>For example the urgency over the parasite issue seems to clash with the game invitation to explore the worldI imagine the reason they and other CRPG devs post 2019 don't do timed quests anymore, despite the urgent scenario, is because they saw all of the feedback Owlcat was getting from Kingmaker when they actually had the narrative time limits as an actual thing in game. A lot of people had the similar complaint of feeling like they were getting rushed because of the ticking timer in each act. I agree with everything else though.
>>730928475stuff like that is less egregious in games like cp because it's the futurepic kinda related
>>730931214>the urgency over the parasite issue seems to clash with the game invitation to explore the world and aid NPCs on questsLet’s be real. If there was a countdown to ceremorphis or other mechanic that would force you into the main story, it would have been the most hated mechanic in the game. Everyone would either rush the “cure”, use meta guides on the first playthrough, or even use mods to disable it entirely. I’m certain Larian knew this which why such a mechanic didn’t even make it into the demo. The parasite is more of a plot device anyway to justify your party being together in the first place
>>730927115>The effect of that is that the game world doesn't really feel all that immersive or like a real place. It feels more like community theater.It's not larian's fault but the thing that always comes to my mind is the dragonborn race. In the DnD lore they just suddenly appeared out of nowhere within the last few decades and.... no one cares. This is an equivalent of aliens landing on Earth and they just exist like everyone else.Now, I'm not a gigachud or anything, but I just don't believe that they wouldn't be treated differently, that there would be no distrust and prejudice against them.There are these cracks in the setting where you can't help but see writer's hand - they were created to be playable characters first and the designer didn't want people who pick them to deal with any extra shit. The problem is that shit like that destroys the verisimilitude, and that's actually important in rpg games, reality just doesn't work like that, not our reality not even their fantastical reality full of lgbt baristas.
>>730926947So weird how nobody got upset that you can shove your cock into little kids faces in this game.
>>730931484>>730931969Can´t really disagree with that as i hated it myself. I reached quite a few bald hilltop battles underleveled and unprepared but didn´t really feel it until the one on which every other enemy had hold person spells. To my shame i also needed some timming guidance to ensure 2 conflicting party members survival events didn´t clash. With the mind flyer thing however i feel like they could have regulated it through long rests (so if you rested less you could see more scenarios or something) or maybe integrated the situations better. I mean, if you are roleplaying ceramorphosis is a timmed event for the sake of immersion there are certainly a hierarchy among the offered options to solve the issue. If you ask me, going to the Githyanki, who have been fighting the Mind Flyers the longest would be at the top of that list. They would have more knowledge and possibly better technology to deal with it than say... a druid, a hag, a bard or a goblin priest. Second best would be that mind flyer at the underdark. Dangerous as fuck without a doubt but for information go to the source. Not two ways around it. If neither of those could solve the issue chances are slim that the rest could.My guess is Larian though about it but reasoned that even if those were the more likely options to work they were also the ones to pose most danger so anyone reasonable would at least try some of the others first and once they choose Halsin the guardian scene would play and the urgency would be gone.
