Just don't pick the gay options bro...resist your nature

>>736543243
I left gay bear guy in a portal which I was supposed to watch after
I reported vampire to a vampire hunter
And I think I turned Wyll into a blob or something
Uh I killed the lesbian couple in the Underdark
I enslaved the gay gnome couple who were working the mines
I forget what else. There are ways to kill every gay in the game though.

>>736543543
So they overtly ask if you want to have gay buttsex and then you do?

just never talk to Gale in camp and you'll be fine

>>736543195
Every party companion will want to fuck you if you make them like you enough, but you always have the option of either politely declining or rudely shutting them down. They might act disappointed for a single line of dialogue, but from then on no romance will ever occur with them and they'll act like it never happened.
It used to be the case where the wizard party member started his romance route with some vague wording that was pretty obviously romantic but could be seen as innocent bonding and some were then shocked to be sucked into a gay scene unintentionally. That has since been changed, and now he explicitly states that it would be a romantic event before you get the option to say no.

>>736543195
You just gotta kill Halsin. He's got a few dialogue choices that will activate the "I'm a cuck, hit on me and my woman, fags" flag without you realizing it.

>>736543381
I saw that one clip for the first time when I was 14 or something. I'm glad to have learned such a valuable lesson that early

>>736543195
Just say no way fag.
They might get a bit sad initially but they back off and don’t mention it again.

>>736543717
>Have to openly flirt with Halsin and bring the subject up
>Than talk to your lover and ask how they feel about it
>And be in a relationship with one of the three companions who are ok with it, or convince the ones who aren't by default
>Then return to Halsin and say everyone consents
There's no way you get that shit by accident.

>>736543195
The board's really exaggerated it as per usual, you're not really forced or tricked into anything sexual.
There was a bug early on in the game where one of the male character's (Gale)'s affection stats and flags bugged out and went really high really early which resulted in him hitting on the player and being butthurt when rejected, but that was fixed.

>>736543923
What does openly flirting consist of here, what are the words uttered that are openly flirting

>>736543195
>do you really need to kill all the male companions in the game or else they WILL just be angry that you didnt have buttsex with them
That was my experience, but I played the fresh released version and supposedly they've patched some "friendship" dialogue options since then.
Sadly I don't think they can fix any characters themselves. These characters have no worthwhile development in-game outside of the sex, and if you have any origin characters run your party it will feel like a low budget dating sim written by a tumblrina instead of a baldurs gate entry.

>>736543923

They will absolutely proposition you, but saying no puts an end to it immediately. None of them get angry. At most, they may have a sad face then go right back to normal seconds later/in the next scene.

The game is mega gay, for sure. But I've never understood the issue with people acting like you have to beat people off of you with a stick. Even with Gale who was infamous for being really easy to fall into a romance with pre-patch. I agreed to do magic with him, thanked him, and when he later talked about possibly being together, I told him no. That was the last I heard of romance with him. So even though I walked into the start of a romance, I shut it down and he was just sad for a second. No issue for the rest of my 80+ hour experience. Even Halsin who is a total horndog was easily shut down by just saying no, then we all moved on.

People were just butthurt of how easy it is (was in some cases after patches) to fall into a romance without realizing. But it's incredibly easy to walk up to a companion, tell them you're not interested, then there's no negative effect going forward other than no longer being able to form a romance with them. It was a stupid overblown thing. If you don't like gay shit even existing, then yeah, the game will be a drag. But if you manage to end up kissing a man on "accident", you really need to examine how you're playing the game.

>>736543195
Honestly crazy they did this. The quest to avoid the rape is bullshit too
>Forget the violet lotus before beating the goblin camp
>Now I HAVE to blow Gale and Karlach (Canon futa) the next morning

>>736543195
Its certainly exagerated but it is rooted in the fact that whoever was in charge of writing companion dialogue and weaving in the romance options legitimately did a bad job. You cant be all buddy buddy with everyone without them awkwardly trying to flirt out of nowhere, and then you have to just like immediately shut them down. One character doing it would be fine, just a personal quirk, but they all do it.

Everyone just wanted to learn some magic from a powrful wizard but then they got tricked and trapped inside of his magic rape bubble

>>736544281
The problem with gales scene specifically is that the way the scene is done, is framed obviously as a romantic scene, even before he asks. It makes you feel gay for even being friends with the guy

there's just one guy who openly asks you to have sex with him at the party, but if you refuse he's like
>oh ok
and if you want to have sex with astarion you have to make a lot of deliberate choices which are super gay and obvious gay romance so you'll not encounter them if you're not a fag, game will not push it into your face

>>736544667
I guess. I took it as him either trying to teach something in a way that feels natural to him, which was often an intimate process considering his relationship to the god of magic, or him outright trying to flirt with you.

Which I just thanked him for the experience and moved on. When he then suggested something deeper later on, I told him no.

I dunno, if a gay guy comes up to you and starts flirting/asks you out when you're straight, you say no and move on. Didn't really feel that dramatic or uncomfortable to me. Especially since Gale was a chill dude the other 95% of my playthrough.

>>736544019
I'm not playing the cick route to find out, but the wiki says you have to outright ask Halsin for sex, and he'll only agree if you ask for your partner's permission first, then return for him to confirm it.
This isn't a vague flirting situation, it's pretty cut and dry that you're trying to sleep around, I can't see any way that you follow this route without being aware of what you're doing.

>>736543195
It's the same in real life, bro, nobody's gonna eat your ass if you don't give them openings and intimacy. Just play the best D&D adaptation for video games.

>>736544281
>People were just butthurt of how easy it is (was in some cases after patches) to fall into a romance without realizing.
I was butthurt because I wanted characters with more depth like in the first two entries of the series, but I got quirk chungus: the polycule dating sim with an RPG written (poorly) around it.

>>736543195
unavoidable gay cutscene with the bara druid where he turns into a bear and gapes your asshole. Also if you don't replay it every long rest he'll fuck one of the female companions infront of you.

>>736544779
also game does have some in-your-face homosexuality, like there's mission to free some goblins or whatever from captivity, and when you do that you see a cutscene of lesbo gnomes, you can just kill them after this, or kill them in an attempt of freeing them, or just let them die without trying to free them
and one of the story imporant character is a lesbo, but she's sexooooo and the other girl is also hot as fuck so it's not that bad
having shadowheart makes up for it though

>>736543195
I don't recall anger as the reception to rejection. Gale acts sad, but the rest brush it off.
I've never had Wyll in my party though because niggers must die.

>>736544904
No one in this game is sexoooo, get some taste.

>>736544909
Wyll from what I've seen is the easiest to avoid entering a relationship with. You actively have to push towards blunt, obvious flirting with him, ask for a kiss, and agree to dance with him to even begin something more.

Arguably the only character to get mad if you deny them is Ascended Astarion. But you would have to complete his entire romance, finish his entire quest line while romanced, then get to the epilogue and deny him right at the end. Hell, even if you ignore how he acts when he's Ascended, that would be a reasonable spot to get angry with someone anyways.

>>736543195
I was banging the frog after banging the shart (frog wanted exclusivity). somehow the crazy bhaal lady kidnapped the bear druid so I didn't really rush the quest. When I got to her fight I accidentally got him killed by standing close enough for her leap plunge attack to deal damage to him as well.
Suprisingly I couldn't revive him mid-fight, post-fight and via Withers lmao

>>736544869
exactly what depth did characters have in 1 (barely any companion dialog) or 2 (which actually was a dating sim, 90% of companion dialog is romance related and that's not even an exaggeration)

2 literally locks Viconia's possible redemption and everything related to it behind romance, for all it's flaws, at least 3 allows you to actually influence your companions as good friends rather than only as romance options

>>736544904
all the underground magical gnomes are gay
that's the joke
they're gnomes
it's a caricature

>>736544795
So just vibes and assumptions then ok, im looking for what actually happens in the game

>>736543195
Just tell em "no way fag" and if they try it again just dismiss them permanently.

>>736544505
I mean yeah I get it you give all characters a chance to be romanceable, and that means that every character has to give you a shot for you to go for them. It's kind of weird but okay.
The REAL shit I'm surprised no one talks about is the Emperor showing up in your dreams with his squid nipples in full display, going "ey bby ever got shagged by an octopus ;)" after I already turned down so many people. It really did feel like my retarded half-orc monk was somehow fucking irresistible to anyone.

>barely any companion dialog) or 2 (which actually was a dating sim, 90% of companion dialog is romance related and that's not even an exaggeration
Depth of writing. 90% of dialogue being romance is fine when the writing is done well. My biggest issue with modern games is that the writers, being women/troons/simps, feel the need to write characters that the "modern audience" can relate to, instead of writing characters that behave as expected in-universe. Or worse, they write the characters as some form of activism (see MJ in spiderman) which supersedes the established game universe to plug a short-lived political message.
BG3 has characters with modern concerns, modern accepted sexuality, modern quirk chungus speech, which you might excuse as a result of 5e, but it just makes it hard to immerse and care about the faggots in game when I'm already sick of faggots IRL.

The gayest thing I did was letting Astarion suck my blood because I thought it would power him up. I quickly regretted it. Not sure it does anything either.

>>736543195
You have to be an absolute autistic retard to accidentally romance anyone in this game. At launch Gale would basically rape you, but they fixed that quickly.

Lol, lmaoing @(You). I've played the game, the only way to hook up with a man as a man in the game is by deliberately choosing multiple romantic dialogue options in a row. No companion gets angry at you nor do you suffer any penalties for turning them down. If this shit makes you angry, you're a coping bi or gay and it's hilarious that you lack that much self awareness

>>736547042
modern concerns like having to deal with the consequences of being forcefully turned into a vampire, having a magical nuke in your chest and dealing with conflicting loyalty to an ancient undead tyrant who eats your soul if you become a threat?

When that happened to me, after the fight ended I just left him there unconscious, and he never reappeared or got mentioned by anyone again. I guess everyone else in the parry was as glad for an excuse to abandon him as I was.

>>736543923
>Have to openly flirt with Halsin and bring the subject up
the problem with this is almost every dialogue option outside of the shadowcurse related ones are flagged as flirting with him. This seems like a bug, but if you know anything about his writer that's likely not the case/

>>736547304
Even at launch when it was easy to stumble upon, he just holds your hips and gets behind you intimately while performing some magic. Yes it's absolutely gay as fuck but he kept it in his pants.

>>736548245
Happened to me as well but i think this triggered because i did his act 2 sidequest with that portal. I skipped that on my second playthrought and she kidnapped Lae'zel.

>>736543195
I mean it's not a gay game in that it's not about being gay, it's about adventure, all romance is optional. But every single companion, male and female, is horny for the player character, that much is true.

>>736543543
>ask to see a magic trick
>have anal sex in the ass
>bro it was clearly the gay option

>>736547661
What do you mean more "realistic"
It's not medieval europe, the fact there's polytheism is FAR more egregious than anything else, did you install a mod to replace every god with Jesus?

>>736548590
There are 4 different dialogue choices that get increasingly gayer that you have to choose to get there. You're just a little gay bro its not that big of a deal

No one ever gets mad at you for saying no as far as I know. The problem is 2 mechanics that interact badly. The relationship mechanic is one dimensional. If you get high enough approval they WILL come on to you, and you'll basically automatically get high enough with everyone by resolving quests in ways that match their alignment. The second mechanic is the dialogue that officially starts you down the "romance initiated" track is completely innocuous for most of the companions (gale asking if you wanna learn more about magic, telling halsin "you should mingle with other people" at the party). If you unknowingly choose those, you'll eventually get them explicitly coming on to you but you can still say no without consequences.

>>736548930
to be fair, mistaking something innocuous for romantic and vice verse is pretty common IRL too, I've been there on what I thought was an activity for friends and the other party considered a first date

I wasn't aware of the hidden fasting mechanic during Ramadan in which you had to not fully rest till sunset and that prevented me from entering the Baldur's Gate Mosque...

>>736548749
To get to the buttsex yes, to get hit on no.

All the male companions try to hit on you if you're not outright hostile to them. Some, like Gale, will assume you're in a relationship with them if you help him with his quest since it improves relations with him so much.

You're mentally ill if you think this shit is normal.

>>736549037
>Some, like Gale, will assume you're in a relationship with them if you help him with his quest since it improves relations with him so much.
That was a bug and it was fixed in a post-launch patch and is no longer true
also

>All the male companions try to hit on you if you're not outright hostile to them
That's misrepresenting it because ALL companions male or female will come on to you at some point

>>736549175
>That's misrepresenting it because ALL companions male or female will come on to you at some point
please understand that you're talking to a gamer™, they wouldn't be here if they could get the hint that a female is hitting on them

>>736543195
I guess bro, but there have been gay companions as romance options in practically every RPG since like late 2000s. If you can't play vidya without seething at seeing modern day progressive/libshit/lowbrow politics and idpol obsessed slop or corpo capitalist marketing trying to please every single possible freak that would want to migrate and live in california you should probably just stop playing games and engaging with media/entertainment at all. It's all over films, music, games, tabletop, everywhere. I just consoom this slop in limited amounts, play as a straight white dude and romance white girls, and kill as many people that game lets me kill that annoy me. Beyond that I leave my house and remind myself that I live in 99% slavic hyperborea where no gay or bipoc people exist and enjoy taking a walk with my samoyed chud dog while he rapes the smaller foid dogs.

>>736549037
So the developers coded the game in such a way that it let's the player decide if they want to romance any of the companions should they choose the romance dialogue options after building a positive relationship with them? Clearly this is a sign of the degeneracy of our then. Just don't flirt back with men bro it's not hard

>>736548620
>What do you mean more "realistic
Anon, you really have to stop the incredulity. It makes me think you're not arguing in good faith. I already explained this in depth here >>736547042
but since you want to argue in bad faith, I'll lay it out plainly:
I don't want the characters in the sequel to classic titles sounding like they spend all day on reddit and twitter.
for your other point, minsc is a barbarian. He's bombastic. It's in his nature. He's one character out of like 25. If all 25 companions had a personality just like his, I would be pissed. But thankfully at the time he was written, gaming companies didn't have HR ladies or ESG quotas.

>>736549289
>should they choose the romance dialogue options
>the ones they specifically patched because so many people complained about being blindsided by them

>>736543195
Doesn't matter if you kill all the companions. Every single NPC you encounter is unironically a faggot or a troon.
I have often wondered, since playing this absolute garbage game, how the hell the population of Faerûn keeps stable, when massacres happen constantly, when everyone is gay or a troon and everyone is mentally adolescent.
Do they just clone or have wizards of buttsex cast "summon peasant" on repeat day in and day out?

>>736543195
Kill all the canon party members.
Get hirelings.

But wait let me get this straight - you didn't notice the obviously flamboyant wizard who wants to get as physically close to you as he can and wanting to "share his magic" with you was obviously trying to have sex with you? Are you sure anon...? Or was it merely willful ignorance?

>>736549520
I, on the other hand, have played the game, and I will vouch for what he said. You mongrel, I invite you to take the first bullet.

>>736549329
Misc is not bombastic, Minsc has a miniature giant space hamster he talks to all the time as if it can hear him
that's peak 90's quirky and anyone who actually lived through the 90's would know it

the idea that the "speak as if on reddit or twitter all day" is also blatantly not true, what part of Astarion's or Lae'zhel's speech sounds as if he's on reddit or twitter? Like genuinely, give me an example of that

Also what part of any of the characters is MJ in spiderman style activism, again, point me to an example of that, because so far the only example you've given is from an entirely different game all together

and as for modern accepted sexuality, this is a universe with gods that are tolerant of homosexual relationships canonically so yes the people would also naturally be far more accepting of it by virtue of not wanting to offend the gods, which by the way already was true in BG2 days

>>736549553
So the main characters of the overall story, who have a major stake in how things pan out, are integrated into that story in a meaningful way? And this is a problem for you?

>>736549601
And there’s no male human or male dwarf. Larian still seething and acting spiteful over straight men playing their game.

>>736549034
For sure. It would probably help if the rejection dialog reflected that, like a "sorry I gave you the wrong impression" but even with that it would still feel like everyone wants in your pants constantly. I think ideally you'd want separate approval/friendship points and romantic points like in Sims, with distinct actions and dialog options that boost them.

>>736549709
>meaningful way
You're dumb, and I now consider you a nigger. Good day

>>736549756
So spiteful that the single companion that's most connected to everything was designed primarily with straight men in mind (Shadowheart)

unless you came here from reddit with all the other refugees

chuds just happen to pick the gayest dialogue options in their roleplaying games and are made to confront their lust for ass

which one? All the gnomes are gay in this game. There is a gay couple in the mines, but also the female gnome that is working with them sends you to her girlfriend for not-dynamite. Then there is the second group of gnomes in baldur's gate with more canon gays.

If you try to have a drink with halsin at the party or ask him if he can be made more comfortable at your camp he will view you as romancable. But the long rest-for-dialogue system in this game is so fucked that the cutscene may not ever play so you should be fine.

Doesn't matter they shouldn't be there. You make the game sound like a big gay circus, they're everywhere, in all shapes and sizes.

I remember this scene in the Dark Knight.

>>736550392
it was a thing in the bioware games
bg2 would have interjections between party members that would pause the game
mass effect and dragon age had companion banter that were endearing

i'd agree they could be better written and more concise, but i appreciate npcs commenting on the world/with each other

>>736543195
No, they get disappointed, but immediately drop it.
You get clear signs gay shit is incoming, the only annoying one is Gale wanting to show you magic that somehow translates to him thinking he can shoot his shot.

I'm looking at the IGN guide, doesn't show the exact dialogue but the whole things sounds like a clown show. In order to unlock his romance, you have to help the druids and make other good choices, which every player is going to do anyway if they're trying to get all the content.
The game fundamentally makes no difference between being nice to your party members and wanting to fuck them, so that's a design flaw. If you do the right things, he makes a proposition to the player.
Looking at how his approval works, it makes no sense at all that this is the same person who's into bestiality and polyamory.

I hated it in all of those games. I have never liked the system.
It pulls you straight out of immersion. At least in BG1-2 you can just skip through it, even if that pause-to-dialogue-box is the most immersion breaking method of them all.
I don't mind them when they are not voiced. Because then I can just read it if I want to. I'd ask them to shut the fuck up, but you can't, so where's the roleplaying in that; being forced to listen and believe.

>>736552414
I look like this. Without the circlet

>>736552313
Incredible, you actually said something that isn't entirely wrong.
Dialogue needs substance, irrelevant yapping has none.

>>736552570
>Incredible, you actually said something that isn't entirely wrong.
Which means I was right about you misreading me since it's been my point all along.
>Dialogue needs substance, irrelevant yapping has none.
Then you should have said that instead of the blanket statement that the various ways games deliver dialogue are bad.

>>736552904
No, it means you misread me and that we've been talk past one another due to it.
>then you should have said that
No, because auto-banter was the topic, and it is fucking retarded and only ever irrelevant.

>>736552340
Eh, I took it as more a man who's beyond crazy about his GF and did the equivalent of a power point presentation on why she's so perfect.

>>736553064
>No, because auto-banter was the topic
The fact that you went on to also complain about cinematic scenes and dialogue trees while making no mention of the quality of the writing is what made it sound like you just hated the concept of NPCs ever talking. But that's fine, I guess we're on the same page now.

>>736543195
its not just gay. talking enough to any companion leads them to having sex with you.
the option is talk to them trying to hear them out or barely talk to them.

no, nigga. a lot of that word of mouth was based on the first official release version of the game, because there was a bug that filled up everyone's romance meter too fast. so you could accidentally proc all the romances and get swarmed by romantic advances. this has been patched and now you actually have to pursue characters for a while before you unlock their romance routes. i've played 300 hours and have never had an issue "accidentally" getting hit on by Gale or Wyll. the only companion i can't speak to is Halsin cause i've never even seen him in-game.

>>736543195
It's quite annoying and very cringe but it's a small part of the game and more worth ignoring and moving on past than killing them and losing their quests.

>>736543195
Compared to DOS2, this game is way too easy even on hard. You can avoid gay stuff. You cant avoid spending almost 100 hours in a game where you barely feel threatened.
I dont wanna sound prejudiced or racist, but BG3 seems like its made for tranny faggot kike shitter gook spic wop retard chink niggers.

I just love when /v/irgins inadvertently out themselves as being colossal, flaming faggots while trying to do the opposite.
I never once had a single male NPC flirt with me, let alone actually getting to the point of a sexual encounter.
It's time to come out of the closet. Sad as it is, it's now acceptable for you degenerate sodomites to give each other AIDS and monkeypox, so you may as well enjoy your lives before you die at 40 from your disgusting lifestyle.

>cant provide one example of dialogue
Ok bro.

>>736554943
5e does have its flaws. You can play deliberately bad, by self-banning certain spells and gear, like people do with early gen Pokemon. That’s the only way to make the game hard.

>auto-banter bad
How come there's never any crazy takes like this in other rpg threads like pafthinder, dragon age, mass effect, neverwinter nights...

Outside of the bullshit Mystra stuff, Gayle is actually a pretty decent bro imo

>>736554943
have you tried combining the mods that add more encounters and Honour Mode? i bet that's harder.
