>sorry chud, the heckin valid refugees should be allowed to live for free in the druid grove>yes the child stole their holy artifact but punishing her for that is wrong its just her culture>the woman who wants these future sorcerers and tinkerers out, shes literally a child murdering bigot for not letting criminals live on her dollardropped this shit right there
>>738495251If that little cunt demon stole from me, why does everyone get pissed off when I throw her down a hill? She deserved it. I thought they would be happy. Also, the trader refuses to trade with you for saying they possess devilish qualities and then 5 minutes later you meet one who literally sets herself on fire whenever she gets mad.
>rpg with characters of every opinion and the player freedom to side with or kill any or every one of them... Has characters I don't agree with?! DROPPEDYour parents dropped you.
>>738495646You're full of shit if you think you weren't railroaded into siding with the refugees in the glade.
>>738495962How could you be? It's literally two fucking clicks to railroad a railroad spike up their ass and end that plot progression
>>738495962Just like how you were railroaded into sucking Gale's cock?
nothing like comically evil villains because nuance and good writing is hardplz ignore that nothing ever changes And you leave every area before anything important happens
you don't threaten to kill kids, goldberg
>>738495962I killed both the refugees and the druids
>>738496120She's not comically evil, she's been misled by a cabal of evil druidsWhich you would know if you had played the game. You clearly haven't. Why are you spending valuable hours of your life shitposting about a game you haven't played?
>gamers are so spineless they call any sort of framing "railroading"
>>738496059the devs seemed to think so
>>738495251yeah even as a "lefty" this first area was just so heavy-handed it felt like a parody. you get the feeling that the "good" opinion is that the tieflings and other refugees should just be able to do anything they want in the grove with absolutely no consideration to the druids, their religion, or others who lived there. somehow a tiefling girl stealing an artifact of religious and cultural importance is portrayed in such a way that kaga is evil because she stopped a theft from happening and wants to punish a crime. kaga being influenced by "evil" druids absolutely does not change my opinion on anything. like where did this attitude come from where the guest should be in charge of the household.
OP you didn't play this game. Sex with Khaga.
>>738496332>like where did this attitude come from where the guest should be in charge of the household.This is literally what the shadow druids were doing
>>738496332Her punishment is siccing a venomous snake on the girl that would kill her in an instant
>>738495251The Druid's Grove can never get a truly happy ending either>Kagha left in charge means the Grove falls to the Shadow Druids and they lock themselves off and go crazy>Kagha being convinced to step down means the Grove stays open but they're left leaderless
You can side with her.
>Kagha: I'M GOING TO EXECUTE THIS CRYING CHILD BY MAKING A SCARY SNAKE BITE HER. DON'T YOU DARE STOP ME, OTHER DRUIDS, BECAUSE I AM FUCKING PISSED AT THIS KID.>/v/: Wow these druids are so good and fair, I really don't know why anyone would side with the refugees
>>738495251>dropped this shit right therewhy didn't you just raid and burn down the grove then?
>>738495962You can literally murder all of them and you get an exclusive compation out of that.
>>738495251You should drop your life too, because there are real child murdering bigots out there, why wait, just end yourself
>>738496838What? You can expose her, halsin demotes her and brings in some high ranking druid from somewhere else to take over.
>>738496059I forget the number of choices it was, but at release talking to Gale was like:>want to talk about magic >yes>should we also make out???>eh, no.I didnt talk to Gale the rest of my game.
>>738495251its funny dark urge used to just be the default player character. obvious why that had to be changed everyone shit their pants when they're forced to kill someone
>>738497028Only character you are forced to kill as dark urge is the bard
>>738497061and "people" shat their pants over that + there's a squirrel you have to kick and that also got "people"
>>738496948Oh, Halsin is always hostile to me in the goblin camp
>>738497061not just that, they dont even like the implication that they are a bad person.
I ate Gale
>>738497270stop throwing rocks at animals
>>738496332Threatening a child with death for attempting to steal the mona lisa would be similarly insane
>>738497028Yeah, you could tell where Larian's efforts were going when they didn't make urge the default custom option. It's all about mass appeal, and anything even slightly uncomfortable or morally gray would detract from that.
>>738497004use the female gale mod + voice conversion mod
>Khaga killing children in the grove is bad>Halsin killing children in the goblin camp is goodMake it make sense
>>738497340No it wouldn't
>>738497429goblins are irredeemable, tieflings arent
>>738497429Refugees goodBritish badEZPZ
>>738497429Goblins are always evil, and goblin life is a net negative on the world. As long as goblins exist we can't ever truly rest. Goblin genocide = World peace.
>>738497378is the voice any good?? i should really replay this game, when i finished it mods weren't even off the ground yet.
arent there at least 2 ways to genocide them between being a murder hobo or siding with the goblins or whatever
>>738497809https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T87-K8WYRoc
>>738497467Yes it would you fucking weirdo. Nobody but actual barbarians put children to death
>>738495962you literally get your dick sucked and fucked by this character for siding with her in joining an army to kill them all and its easy lolsneed
>>738496786>>738497340retard
>>738495251You are not against refugees in principle, if the game had the refugees as european people you would support helping them out, correct? Lets face it, the truth is that refugee scam is not really the issue, its the population replacement, which is a valid issue.Anyway the game gives you choices and the game shows you real life concerns that refugees shift the culture and attract trouble which is what happens, it asks you the question would you throw them to the wolves for a piece of mind? or you will take the risk and keep them there? But who actually gives a shit? idk only a retard plays a game like BG3 and thinks about this shit, when you play BG3 you admire the gameplay, the encounter design, the level design, the exploration and the interactive systems, you admire the reactivity that can happen and you start to test the limits, the game is experimental and because of that factor and its fantastic gameplay its fun to play it multiple times, it takes a long time for BG3 to become dull, they always throw new stuff at you, it doesnt matter where you are, you are always prone to new and fresh content and because of the game's nature you will guranteed 100% find new things in a 2nd run.This is why you play BG3, this is why its unique compared to the hunderds of cheap generic Crpgs with bad gameplay and game design where all you do is larp and pick dialogue choices that barely matter anyway, oh and download patches and bug fixes along the way, yeah haha, the biggest own is that none of the other Crpgs are based anyway, so you are still cucked. fuck you crpg cuck weee
Are the first 5 levels the hardest part of this game, like once you get a build online it snowballs until you're an unstoppable demi god
>>738495962You're literally not? You can literally let the niglet get killed by the snake, then let the camp get raided by the goblins and if you wish so you can even kill the goblins after they're done raiding the druid grove. You can also kill refugees in the second act by siding with the cultists. The only thing railroading you into siding with them is you being a niggerlover.
>>738497887not bad but also just saw there's another mod with 7 different voice styles, damn mods have come a long way since i played.
>>738498198yes. they actually reduced max level to 12 and you're still comically powerful.
>>738497891I don't know of any government in history that has not sent a child to death sometime in their history.
>>738495962I killed everyone in the glade, then I killed all the goblins
>>738498240I'm trying to get my Vengeance Paladin online and its taking forever
>>738495251Yeah that was pretty ham fisted. That said, it was kind of good that they showed the refugees being utterly ungrateful shits after they're let in. That at least was realistic.
>>738498198the early game is really only hard because stuff has more turns than you do or you're just unaware of how many zillions of ways you can break the game and rig dice rolls having not played it yet. once you have played it once you can just utterly take the game apart on subsequent playthroughs.
>>738498198this is just dnd tbf
>>738495251chuds love child murder checks out
>>738498198There are some endgame fights that are only really hard due to the amount of enemies (like sharran temple) but yeah the game gets easier and the final act is a pushover for the most part. Myrkul apostle is the only really hard fight.
>>738495646This is the most disingenuous cope ever. >Hurr you can just chose not to engage with the plot>Agenda doesn't matter you can just heckin based kill every one anyway. >Never mind you can't side with the druids and purge the grove. You get to side with le heckin safe horny dommy mommy manface drowbitch to kill every one like an evil chuddie.Lets not actually sincerely engage with the idea of why a homogenous grove of druids don't want a pack of thieving rapefugees squatting in their sacred land stealing their shit. Let's not give the player the option to kick out the sob-squatters because it's the right thing to do, you can still do it but it's because you're a heckin evil karma thug who has to get paid and undercut some other thugs while you're at it. Did you get it? Did you get the message? You took money to boot out the poor innocent squatters who dindu nuffin, that makes you the same as the guild thugs, literally. Fascist. Larian is a cuck studio
>>738498198Early game has some hard fights, but the hardest fights are scattered across the whole game.Early game tough fights: Spider, Gnolls and Goblin campMid game tough fights: Myrkul, Admantine Forge, Githyanki patrolLate game tough fights: Ansur, Raphael, and some situational fights like Sarevok or Cazador depending on how you face them.I'd say its pretty well balanced experience, especially for a RPG like this. Like its curve is more balanced than Divinity, in Divinity the curve is hard early, easy midgame and late game there is a huge spike but that spike is instantly gone with a single item. This is way more balanced.Typically its easier at the end because you have many tools, but some encounters still pose a threat if you play on higher difficulties, if you are doing a honor mode run you can lose your run in the 3rd act, some fights are geniunely risky.
>>738498295please provide an example of a court of law, in the civilized world, condemning a young child to death.If you pull out anything pre-1800s I'll laugh in your face.
>>738498890You can side with the druids by letting them complete the ritual, they don't need your help
>>738498913BG3 honor difficulty design is how CRPGs should aim for moving forward, it doesn't just inflate numbers, it actually adds mechanics, i liked the new legendary actions for bosses and limitations on some mechanics. More devs should think like this.
>>738495251You can just side with her you fucking retard. Or kill everyone in the camp. I swear /v/ straight up does not actually play the games they complain about.
I have no idea what being rightwing has to do with siding with Shadow Druids or The Absolute Cultists
>>738495251You can literally skip the entire grove questline and leave the druids and tieflings to fend for themselves, or just kill everyone either side yourself. But you would know that if you actually played the game
>>738495251>punishing her for that is wrong its just her culturePunishing her is fine, killing her for it is too much
>>738495251Honestly if a child can steal your holy artifact that's responsible for your safety then you deserve to die.
>>738495251she should have a been a recruitable companion, together with that bard chick and the goblin thief.
Realtranny games are notoriously preachy
>>738500264It's really a shame there's no recruitable goblin, just because there's so much goblin shit in the game that would make interesting interactions with a party member that's one.
>>738495251i "broke my oath" as a vengeance paladin because i didn't want to kill herthat's when i dropped the game
>murders goblin children immediately after breaking out of jail>hates kahga because she killed a refugee child
>>738500673I also broke my oath because of some dumb bullshit like killing someone who was attacking me, the oathbreaking in general is stupid.
>>738498969>>738496035>>738496897>>738498048>>738498215>>738499907>>738499310>you don't have to side with the refugees, the game just considers you evil for not doing it!You need to increase that 41% stat pronto so the world can just move on already.
>>738500797>>738495251why the fuck is the druid armor just leathers with some leaves on the shouldersAND A GIANT FUCKING SYMBOL ON THE CHESTIT LOOKS RETARDED
>>738498198first time?
>>738498195Literally the entire game is: be a good guy and side with gays and refugees or be evil and side with terrorists and demon worshipers. Or just kill everyone.Why can't I be a good guy and NOT side with gays and refugees? Just like real life.
why are people acting like this is in any way comparable to any real life refugeesthey are actual refugees, from the literal city next door, which got dragged into literal hellThis is more akin to if Houston got hit with a hurricane and Austin told them to get fucked
>>738500797Goblins are the batarians of Baldurs Gate, at least tieflings occasionally surprise you.
Any other RPGs where you can undress your companions?
>>738500882>le bideo game... le judges me?You're pathetic.
>>738500882>the game just considers you evilalignments got taken out of dnd so no it doesn't
>>738498048I love this purple slut so much
>>738501063Because that's how the writers want you to see real world "refugees" (20-30 year old single male economic migrants from brown shitholes). The whole point of the message in the game is to make you more amenable to these parasites in real life.
>>738500882things being moral grey areas is woke though. its to imply morality is relative and theres no right and wrong. which is arguably even more woke and gay than being able to slaughter refugees just because you want to lol
>>738501446I have over 1000 hours in the game and still hate actual refugees also one of the only humans in the camp calls them Hellspawn and is in fact brown himself
>>738501446your brain is rotted from /pol/
>>738501063Which would totally be within Austin's right.Except the refugees were already let in and have already been there awhile. Now their leader who let them in is missing and everyone is sick of each other. None of the natives want the refugees to be there and are threatening to force them out. The refugees don't want to be there either and are plotting to kill the natives. It's rude to force them out, but it's also rude for them to stay. The fact the refugees are considering killing the natives and taking all their shit is not only proof they should've never have been let in to begin with, it's also proof that they're not actually that threatened by the goblins. And of course the refugees are portrayed as good guys up throughout the entire game, even if they kill the druids, while Kagha is being manipulated by shadow druids. That's Larian saying there's nothing wrong with abusing someone's hospitality and killing them and taking all their things if it's the easy way out for you, and anyone who wouldn't let these savages mooch off them must have been brainwashed by an evil death cult.Your only retort is, "Just turn your brain off, dude." No, I'd rather to turn the game off.
dark urge as dual wielding gloomstalker ranger is too fun
>>738495962were you homeschooled?
>>738500797would you be up in arms if someone killed a rat or any other vermin?Goblins are evil little shits.
>>738501141>>738501347Why are you being obtuse? Did you get paid to shill the game? You don't need alignments to tell who's good and evil, you fucking nimrod. Take the black dick out of your mouth.
>want to play a sword and board fighter in a crpg>heavy armor is always worse than pajama tanking>using a shield is always worse than using a two handed weaponwhy do jrpgs let me play as a knight more than crpgs do this shit is completely ass backwards
>>738501548Notice how you couldn't actually say I'm wrong, you just jumped to insults because you couldn't think of anything else.
>>738501775Why are you letting optimal meta shit dictate how you play? Just get good.
>>738495251>He didn't even get to the part where its literally da jeewsYikes no attentions span lmao
>>738501853No nigger, you are wrong, and insulting you is the easiest summation of why.
>>738501548He's absolutely right, though. Act 1 is all about muh refugees, Act 2 is saving a dyke from her girlfriend's chud father and Act 3 opens up with - once again - refugees squatting in a dude's house and of course the refugees are just poor, helpless, little babies and the guy who wants his house back is bombing fucking children. I mean, of course he is! He hates refugees, of course he's evil. :^)
>>738501764Again, you're throwing a temper tantrum because a video game called you a meanie head.
Discussions for every game on 4chan,Reddit, and Twitter for some reason revolves around anons either talking about the color of someones dick or personally feeling attacked because a video game character did something they don't personally agree with irl
Sex with bears
>>738498969>You can technically side with the druids by doing nothing and letting the failure state flags trigger>No one acknowledges this as a rational decision based on personal choice great story tranny
>>738501925No one can separate fiction from reality anymore.
>>738501875See, you still said nothing that proved me wrong, you just lashed out in anger because you don't have the brain capacity for anything else.
>>738501853Stop viewing everything through a lense of politicsno better than a sjw
>>738501867why are you letting woke devs rewrite european history
>>738501878The game doesn't even say Kagha is evil though
>>738501764You're a spineless cuck lmao, why do you care if the game says you're good or evil, it's not like an evil bg3 run has you getting comeuppance or something
>>738501878i just killed the squatters without hesitation and i never heard any of that shit you're talking about with the guy being evil lmaoas for act 1 and 2 i honestly have no idea because i didnt pay much attention. i didnt think act 1 was all about the refugees, that shit was very early on and i played for dozens of hours after that before getting to act 2 and i vague remember a bunch of other dialog and plot stuff so im pretty sure saying act 1 is about refugees is wildly inaccurate
>>738501961Many people in the video games industry absolutely do view everything through a lense of politics and they don't even try to hide this fact, they're proud of it because they believe they're good people who are helping to create a better world through their art.
>>738501614The Tieflings are not planning to kill the druids they're also not just profiting entirely off of hospitality, they're actively providing service to the druids in the form of additional security, they literally die in protection of the druid grove the only way to trigger the fight between the druids and the tieflings is by manipulating the druids into attacking the tieflings, there is no situation in which the tieflings intentionally try to kill the druids to take over also if you deny giving help to a neighboring city you may in fact be a sociopath
>>738501853No one is going to engage with you on a discussion because it's not worth it. Go ahead and get outraged at videogames because of politics, try and make it everyone else's business, and see how that works out.
>>738501878in act 3 the "refugees" are the farmers from the surrounding countryside which feed the city fleeing to the city to escape the imminent threat of an armyIt is legally, practically and morally wrong to deny the farmers that feed your city the protection of your cityThey're also not going to stay as refugees, everyone either wants to go back to their farms asap or else wants to actively get a job
>>738502107If you seriously cannot see the overt political messaging in a game like Baldur's Gate 3 you're clearly a "turn your brain off" kind of person when it comes to video game stories. I'm not the one making it about politics, the developers did that, I'm just picking up on their overt messaging. Once again, this isn't some conspiracy this is literally how they intend you to interpret their stories, they just assume that you'll agree with their message rather than finding it manipulative like I do. Go on twitter or reddit and ask them if they think BG3 is political, they'll overwhelmingly tell you "yes, and that's a good thing"

>>738495251My """evil""" playthrough was the best and most righteous way to play this game, it improves 10x by removing all the annoying pieces of shit.
>>738497004same for me, also with wyllapparently that was fixed though
>>738501936now wait a minutei have 200 hours in bg3 but can you actually enter sex scenes while morphed into any of the animals with that one druid type spell, or was that just one specific scripted event i never happened to see or hear anything about ever since everyone laughed about it in the ad
>>738495251I killed everybody just to see if it was actually possible. I was quite surprised when the shopkeeper actually used his whole inventory to fight, he was way harder than the actual druids were.
>>738502380It's not, though. They're trying to return to the status quo i.e. The Republic.
>>738501775>>738501971you are unhinged, Paladin is top tier automatically in any dnd version

>>738495251Kaga later gets murdered at the victory party and if you avenge her murder as an "Oath of Vengeance " paladin you... become oathbroken. This is what leftism is, they will excuse literal assassins of people they don't like.
>>738495251The difference with BG3, is I can kill this cunt right then and there. NO non humans allowed in the grove.
>>738505115Wizards are the strongest class late game, but Paladins are not weak at alll, also the concept of wizards and druids is as european as it gets, it comes from european pagan myths.
>>738496867
>>738505267killing children is based and redpilled amirite?
>>738505134anon there's a very good reason for it.>Kagha killed the tiefling child>her parent takes vengeance for her slain child>you, the Oath of Vengeance paladin, try to stop them from taking their just revengeof course this breaks your Oath.
>>738505134>people they don't likeOk, this happens if annabelle diesIt's not that her parents "don't like Khaga", it's that she fucking killed their kidNot saying you should lose the oath, but come on
>>738496332>the tieflings will almost certainly die if they leave the grove >Kagha still insists that they leave >small child thinks that by stealing the idol it will stop her entire family and everyone she knows from being killed Sounds kinda reasonable. And even if it was fucked up to try to steal their sacred idol, it’s a little kid and Kagha is going to kill her.
>>738503967>you are unhinged, Paladin is top tier automatically in any dnd versionWhich versions have you been playing?>ADnDPaladins largely medicore, can't fulfill any role that wouldn't be better served by a specialist. Wizards, Clerics and Druids rule setting.>3.0 and 3.5Martials are so bad they're basically just Roleplay characters. Wizards can do everything a martial can do and a LOT more. All the other various spellcasters are as good or better.>4.0Did not play>5.0Martials are better than in 3.5 but still larely Roleplay characters.

I can't think of any other DnD games, but I'm sure the logic follows.
>>738505267>>738496867Real world parallels don’t really work when there are demonic monsters 20 meters away who want to rape these people to death. Most “refugees” in the real world just want to make more money in a less shitty country. That kid would be raped to death by goblins within minutes if the tieflings leave the grove.
>>738505678Then why's she breaking the fucking laws? And why is the defense of her "You can't punish her, she's crying :("
>>738505667you are trolliong, an inquisitor clears BG1+2 easily
>goblins? Annoying tieflings?>better do the evil thorn ritual and seal myself in this little backyard area foreverThe problem with BG3 is that every evil person is comically retarded.
>>738495251>>738496332The pendulum really has swung such that these low IQ social warrior retards are just rightwing now. Very embarrassing. Anyway the only reason that they want to kick the tieflings out is because Khaga is part of a Diddystein cult that wishes to invoke the right of thorns which is categorically bad and destroys the grove. Otherwise no stakes are given as to why the teiflings can't be there. It is the must cut and dry case of right vs wrong, there's no nuance, which you can be valid in complaining about. What you can't do however is autistically try to insert modern politics and nuance into it.
>>738505667>Martials are better than in 3.5Warblade says lol >NWN2>Wizards are bestWhat exactly are you smoking, wizards in that game get exactly none of the spells that make wizards broken in 3.5, martials are buffed immensely by some broken prestige classes
>>738505751>make every villain 2D>it still goes over politicalslop poisoned modern audience brains
>>738505750>My extra casting of True Sight and Dispel Magic totally makes up for bringing absolutely fuck all else to the partyInquisitors could have value if BG2 implemented the 18INT rule, but it doesn't. Which means every single caster absolutely mops the floor with them and you've got so many spell slots available they add nothing.If you wanna make a martial work in BG1 or 2 at least have the dignity to play an Assassin and/or Trap Spec Rogue.
>>738505751Evil is dumb.

>>738505903dispel magic at double the level. then the enemy wizard is just a squishy target that gets interrupted and dies in 2 hits
>>738505751>>738505913The hag was kind of smart
>>738495251Don't forget Goblin genocide is le okay even though they are sentient beings surviving like every other race.
>>738501775Sadly, there are a lot of really good two handed weapons in BG3. I prefer sword and board myself. But the benefit of an extra 2-3 AC is really nice, even if you lose out on a bit of damage. Eldritch knights and paladins are both very strong. The knife of the undermountain king is a good weapon, and the blood of lathander is a good mace. In the lategame, crimson mischief is fucking amazing and there’s a great shield you get from beating the Shar worshippers. The best heavy armor also gives you free resistance to physical damage and bonuses to saving throws. It’s crazy good. I personally made a warlock/oathbreaker paladin who wore heavy armor and I was really happy with the results.
>>738505720so you're the sort of sociopath who'd shoot a child for breaking one of your windows?
>>738497345It's more about Larian realizing a detailed prewritten backstory for the player character in a D&D video game is a terrible idea. The durge is literally just another companion and their bullshit is enough.
>>738506046sword and board probably would be a lot more fun if you could you know, actually do things people are depicted as doing with a shield in fantasy artlet us block a dragon's breath, let us deflect a wizard's spell, let us actively bait an enemy into striking the shield to counter hit him even in editions where you can do that it's usually locked behind a 10 feat long chain half of which are worthless
>>738505720She’s breaking the law because A. She’s a small child and B. Kagha is trying to send everyone she knows out to die horribly. The defense of her is that A. She’s a small child and B. Kagha’s actions are indefensible when danger is that close. Trespassing is a crime, but trespassing to escape a gang of rapist niggers is not.
>>738506176Then why don't the tieflings control their urchins? Let me guess, it was socioeconomic factors that led to a band of thieving children to form and harass everyone giving them shelter. Ever hear of not biting the hand that feeds you?
>>738506265You are a caricature
>>738506265she's 10 years old, you can't control every single action of a 10 year old, you can be the best parent in the world and you still can't prevent them from doing something stupid and for this reason every sane person on the planet acknowledges that kids will do dumb things and since they're still kids, that dumb thing and the resulting punishment for it are a learning opportunityit's only someone who completely fails at humanity who'd treat a 10 year old as he would an adult, all of your ancestors knew that, it's why they, unlike you, managed to successfully reproduce
>>738495962
>>738506265You simply can’t make real world parallels. It’s just dumb to try. The tieflings’ entire city was sucked into literal hell and they only recently got out. No hand is feeding them. Kagha is absolutely intent on throwing them to the wolves. The ritual is going on before you even arrive. She is actively causing them all to die, so yeah, the kid does what she can to try to avoid it.
>>738506265The tiefling can be retards, and Kagha should not sentence a literal child to deathThese two statements are not contraddictory, both can be true
>>738506386How did a literal child learn to set up a giant thieving operation involving every other child without seeing it before from the tieflings around her? They pickpocket, they scam, but hey, it's just kids being kids, right?>>738506427Tell me how stealing money from the people who harbor them is helping them survive?
>>738505308>>738505315there is no proof that Kagha ordered the snake to attack
>>738506427not to mention that druids cutting themselves off from the world is antithetical to their functionthey're not just plantmancers that turn into bears occasionally, their entire task is to be the spiritual and religious bridge between nature and society they're meant to be active participants in their surroundings, keep them safe through application of both force and diplomacythere's a good reason she actively had to lie and deceive the circle because what she was doing was going against all druidic teachings
>>738495962There isn’t a lot of nuance or moral ambiguity to it. There are good options and evil ones, but you can still choose the evil ones. It’s pretty fun. My biggest complaint is that you miss out on so many rewards and plot lines if you go fully evil, and there isn’t much to replace it. It’s cool to have consequences, and obviously having the same exact merchant BUT EVIL would be lame. But they definitely could’ve invested more time into the evil paths. Still cool that you can do them at all.
>>738506559Why are you trying so hard to justify child murder?
>>738506484Then what is the correct punishment? Banishment? You'd call that sentencing them to death too. So what is the correct punishment for bringing a bunch of crime to your sacred grove?
>>738506559>How did a literal child learn to set up a giant thieving operation involving every other child without seeing it before from the tieflings around her?Not the same child you moron, the one who Khaga wants to kill wasn't some mastermind, she's a 10 year old who tried doing something stupid and immediately got caught for it which is why Khaga is even in the position to do anything about itThe one who does set up this whole organization is an orphan, she's deprived off of parental oversight and as a result is turning out wrong
>>738506427wut lol? you can easily make a comparison between tieflings sucked into hell and escaping vs. black people sucked into hellish africa and escaping to the US only to start thieving and attacking people 24/7
>>738495251TIEFLINGS are not all THIEFS you BIGOT CHUDwhy yes, every one you meet is a literal thief or some other type of outlaw but that's besides the point!!!
>>738506651I never said it was the same child, dipshit. I still can't deny the fact crime increased by 1,000% when they allowed the tieflings to enter their grove. What is the fucking punishment for that? You're just stuck with them because telling them to kick rocks is too mean? That's just your life now? A crime ridden shithole?
>>738506559Technically speaking, it helps them to survive because they have more money and resources. But I’m not defending anything Mol does. She’s an evil character. She wants to sell her soul and join a guild of thieves. But we weren’t talking about Mol, we were talking about Arabella, who has just cause to steal the idol if it means the survival of her people.
>>738506669but the tieflings don't start thieving and attacking peoplethe literal first thing you see them do is put their lives at stake protecting the home of the people giving them shelter with one of them dying in the process the Tieflings that actually get into Baldur's Gate all get jobs
>>738506620I think they’re fairly well offset. The only one that shouldn’t be locked to the tieflings is the Potent Robe. It’s too vital to most warlock builds and Durge are almost auto locked out of acquiring it unless you do silly preparations for a scripted event or mod the robe in some other way. Evil play throughs get the Bhaalist armor and Shar’s Spear of Evening, which are both laughably broken.
>>738506645not killing a child, that's for certain
>>738506731Khaga is committing more crime than all tieflings combined by deceiving the circle into following Shadow Druid teachings which in fact is one of the worst possible crimes you can commit in a druidic grove it's not just legally wrong, it's morally wrong and most importantly it's spiritually wrong
>>738505678>Most “refugees” in the real world just want to make more money in a less shitty countrySo you are proving that these are not real refugees, they are economic migrants. Get them out, get rid of them all
>>738506645Literally anything is betterKeep her a day and a night in a cell, then send her off with a slap on the back>muh sacred idolIf a child goes into a monastery and steals something sacred, do you think the priests will impale the child's head on a spike or something?They got their idol back, they just need to slap her so she doesn't do it again, there's no need to kill her as revenge for harm that wasn't done
>>738506749Does it say anywhere that the one that stole the relic wasn't part of mol's gang or wasn't acting on the orders of it? Tell me how you'd punish the group of child thieves. You can't because you believe they should just accept their culture is shit now.
>>738506731What an absolute non argumentKilling a child and sending the tieflings out are two completely different things, retard. Completely moving the goalpost
>>738506824knowing the monks near me what they'd likely do is talk to their parents and have the kid help them out with chores as punishment not to be cruel but to give consequences for their actions in a productive, christian, way
>>738506669>sucked into hellish Africa Anon, what are you smoking? You can say there are poor conditions and evil people, but it really can’t compare to a realm of fire and brimstone and demons that just want to rape and torture you. It’s just not the same. And real world refugees don’t face the same immediate risk of unspeakable violence.
>>738506810>>738506824They have a right to tell them to leave and get fucked but you refuse to acknowledge that. Why are they just stuck with a bunch of thieving criminals? If they wanted to be saved so badly, they should've acted right.
>>738506816they don't have a home to go back to, why do you think they left Elturel for?
>>738506828>Tell me how you'd punish the group of child thieves10 lashes to each of themCloser monitoring from the parents required>You can't because you believe they should just accept their culturePlease link the post where ANYONE in this thread has made this argument. Failure to do so will be considered a concession that you are fucking retarded.
>>738506824she was going to get a prison sentence which is perfectly reasonable and only until her parents leave with her. But then she struggles and runs away and triggers the snake's instinct to attack. This is not Kagha's fault, this is the child's fault. Snakes are still wild animals, don't make sudden movements.
>>738506672Zevlor isn’t. But the rest of them treat him like shit, so maybe you have a point.
>>738506886No they aren't. You fags are arguing that if you send them out they will die so you can't do that because it's too mean. So what is the solution to an unwanted guest stealing shit from the people who saved them?
>>738506929they're stuck with a bunch of 'criminals' because the goblins will gut them too
>>738506929>They have a right to tell them to leave Of course they do. ... and? This has NOTHING to do with having a snake kill Arabella
>>738506942I didn't say anything about a home. I said that they should leave, clearly they don't deserve to be fed and protected by druids who love even rats but a feral thieving scumbag tiefling with demonic blood inside them is too much - fully understandable if you ask me.
>>738506946>>738505454There, you fucking fag.
>>738506949>But then she struggles and runs away>This is not Kagha's fault, this is the child's fault>Snakes are still wild animalWho set the snake upon the 10 year old child anon? Who did that?As you say, they are dangerous wild animals. Would you throw a kid in the bear pit? I wouldn't, because unlike you and Kagha I'm not fucking retarded
>>738506949The snake is a druid's animal companion, not a wild animal, if it attacks anyone it's because the druid wants it to attack them or are you suggesting Khaga is so utterly and completely incompetent that she's unable to have a level of control over her animal companion that a basic NOVICE would have? because in that case she should be immediately removed from her function and an actual competent druid should be in charge of Arabelle's fate
>>738506981Zevlor winks and nudges at the player to go murder druids for him so he can hang around the Grove for a few more days. He's an asshole too.
>>738507036Interesting, the post you linked doesn't say anything about accepting any culture, it is instead explaining why a child would do that. The post even acknowledges the child was wrong!It would seem that you are conceding to being a fucking retard, retard
>>738506816Absolutely. The grove situation is clearly a case where kicking them out is undeniably evil. Most “refugees” in the real world are more like parasites. I don’t begrudge their desire for a better life, but they can’t begrudge my desire to protect the well being of my country. If there were demons right outside my country waiting to eat their souls, that would be another story. >>738506828She has parents, and Mol’s gang seems to all be orphans. Kind of explains their behavior without excusing it. All the other tieflings seem to be written as fine, upstanding people. Maybe throw them in that little jail cell for a few days. But sending all the tieflings to their deaths because a small gang of orphans is committing petty crimes seems unreasonable. And Arabella only stole the idol after the ritual to force them out had already begun.
>>738495251>gaydur's gay 3: redditor critical role editionew
>>738507036retard-kun has poor reading comprehension lol
>>738506672the majority of the tieflings are willing to literally lay down their lives in defense of the grove
>>738507006Is there an actual path where the snake bites her and kills her? Is that something you can make happen in the game?
>>738495251why does every bg3 female looks like gigachad?
>>738497378He still has a penis
>>738507091Kagha didn't give the snake any command, Kagha even warned the tiefling demon child to "be still, Teela is restless". In fact if you as a druid pick the right dialogue option with the snake then the snake will simply let the child go. Why would it do that if it was given a "command"?
>>738507154YesThere is more than one way to get Arabella to die in that scene, intentionally or unintentionally with a failed roll.
>>738507134It's a post saying that if they get kicked out they all die and justifies her theft by that fact. Are you illiterate?
>>738507102I too think he crosses the line there, but as a Paladin he is oath bound to secure their safety above all else, which in Forgotten Realms lore goes way beyond a pact as we know it.
>>738507027you called them migrants retard. Do you even know what you are arguing or is your mind in full /pol/tard mode?
>>738507182>Pick a literal toddler>Put him in the middle of a minefield>"Don't move, toddler who doesn't even know how to write!">The toddler, being a toddler, gets scared and moves>His entrails flie accross the field>Another day of me, anon, being a morally grey civilian not responsible for the child's death. I may have put him there, but he chose to move!
>>738507154if you say "ok its fine to imprison her because shes a criminal but only hold her for as long as you have to" the snake kills her
>>738507136So they should banish just the orphans then? Why should grove resources be used to punish people that shouldn't even be there in the first place?
>>738507198The post is arguing the child's logic for stealing the idol. It is not arguing the strawman you fabricated.Retard
>>738507095>The snake is a druid's animal companion, not a wild animal, if it attacks anyone it's because the druid wants it to attack themtotal lie, the snake is still a wild animal with the matching instincts of a wild animal and while it's also able to talk and reason and have its own will... it's not a skeleton raised by a necromancer that attacks on orders. It can agree and disagree and has its own will and its own instincts. This is proven already by the dialogue options where you can convince the snake to chill out a little. I understand that this is all hard for you because these bastard writers tried very hard to convince you that Kagha is evil but she's not.
>>738507198Because it does justify her theft. But that’s an extraordinary circumstance brought about solely by Kagha’s unreasonable actions. It doesn’t mean that anyone is conflating thievery with tiefling culture or excusing thievery under ordinary circumstances.
>>738500882You are literally Indian
>>738495251She was feeding a little kid to a snake anon
>>738507198Are you schizophrenic? Explaining why Arabella, a child, did something, is not the same as saying anyone should "accept tiefling culture". That's all you, nobody said that. Literally nobody but you, as proved by you linking a post that doesn't say that.
>>738507182the fact you can give it a command not to attack the child means that Khaga could have given that command and actively chooses not tobut please do tell me, if some gentleman of darker skin found a white girl, put his feral pitbull near her, took of it's leash and and then told her "you better be quiet or mah nigga here will eat yer face off" would this gentleman be innocent of she jumped at him making a sudden movement and got her face bitten off?
>>738507195>>738507312Based>>738507331Yeah, I'm sure mol wouldn't have created the thieving gang if it wasn't for mean old kagha. Give me a break.
>>738500797I always make sure to murder the gobbo children every playthrough.My favorite was one of em trying to run past us, so I had Karlach pick the lil basterd up and toss him back to Halsin so he could maul the thing.I love this game.
>anon didn't let the kid die >anon didn't get to watch the parents pull a knife on this bitch and stab her at the celebration
>>738507362Their culture is thievery as expressed by every single other child they brought with them. How do you have a culture of thieving in children if they didn't learn it from somewhere?
>>738507328all that dialog means is that the snake is well trained enough it is capable of understanding and listening to reason from a complete strangeraka, Khaga could have at any point given it the order to not attack the child and it would have obeyed
so is this game a meme or what because every larian game has a great act one then immediately turns to dogshit
>>738504970Druids are allowed to wear metal armor, both mechanically and narratively. Retarded faggots like (You) just pretend otherwise.
>>738507136soul eating demons weren't waiting right outside, it was just goblins. They had no cause to act like they did.
>>738507309Banishing just the orphans would at least be more reasonable than banishing everyone. Except, again, they are just children committing petty crimes. Death hardly seems a fitting punishment. You could kick them out, but it would be immoral to do so when they’re in such obvious danger.
>>738507486ProficienciesArmor: Light armor, medium armor, shields (druids will not wear armor or use shields made of metal)from the official page you retard
>>738507453I dont know how much clearer I can make this, let me give you an analogy even though analogies never convince anybody but here it goes: Imagine if some thieving child stole your holiest relic of your God that you DESPERATELY NEED FOR YOUR OWN SURVIVAL. You are extremely angry at this child that just almost murdered you and your whole family and your whole church. Then when you catch the thief, it squirms and makes excuses and acts defiant. You even warn the child that the dog you have with you is dangerous and to be still but it wont listen because it's such a piece of shit child. Then on top of everything it even tries to run away so the dog ends up biting her because it's a dog and it's on a hair trigger too and senses the tension and anger in the air. Take a step back now: How on EARTH do you manufacture "Kagha is evil" out of all this?
>>738507394I didn’t even remotely imply that. At what point does this become boring for you?
>>738507470I think act 2 suffers from the shadow curse stuff. Just makes exploring a drag. If you bring bear fucker along his sidequest blows too.
>>738507502So no one itt is saying to accept their thieving, huh? Sure sounds like it to me. If you are offered shelter and start stealing from the people who saved you, banishment is the only logical punishment besides death.
>>738507559i'll take that as a yes and continue to not be tempted
>>738507494>it was just goblinsThe goblins, by simply knowing the location of the grove, have enough force to slaughter BOTH druids and and tieflings fighting side by side, in a SIEGE.They might as well have had the hordes of chaos outside, given the situation.The tieflings aren't there to permanently live in the grove, they are there only in an emergency situation, they WANT to leave, but it's simply not feasable as is.
>>738507552You said arabelles theft was only brought about because of an extraordinary circumstance yet all the other children are shown to be thieves too. What brought about their thievery then? The desire for money and love of scamming random passersby?
>>738507271it's an animal companion that is always with her friend, not a minefield. They chose to stay with druids who have bears and all kinds of animals sitting around in the open. If they cannot understand that they need to be careful then that's up to them.
>>738507447They did spend some time in literal hell. Might’ve learned a thing or two there. But orphans don’t have to ‘learn’ to steal. If you’re truly pushed to the brink, you’ll take what you need to in order to survive. It doesn’t happen often in our society, but this is a different universe. >>738507494Yeah, it was just an army of vicious, bloodthirsty monsters being controlled by an eldritch horror from beyond, beyond controlled by the proxies of three evil, demonic gods. Totally unreasonable.
>>738507494You're right, they just escaped soul eating demons and are now being sieged by a horde of organized goblins
>>738507561>banishment is the only logical punishment besides deathAgain, lashes exist, jails existThere is a MYRIAD of options that don't involve killing children. You just really want to killing children because you have psychopathic tendencies (if this was not the case you would have considered the above options as logical for petty theft)
>>738507548I get it, you're either a retard or a troll and I'll stop interacting with yougo ahead and pretend you've won, everyone else can clearly see the truth
>>738507671Do they also learn to set up fake shops in order to scam people from the devil or was that closer to home?
>>738507619sounds like the tieflings have even more reason to be on their best behavior. Somehow you walk away witht he opposite opinion and believe that they should be allowed to steal from the people who saved their lives. Weird
>>738507645In Arabellas care she was motivated by wanting to leave the Grove, not by greed. Mol should have her hands cut off tho
>>738507683Having people that you just saved turn your refuge into a crime-ridden shithole is such a slap in the face. Why waste your time and effort punishing them when you can just tell them to fuck off. Oh yeah, the other tieflings who say they'll kill the druids if they send them away. Great culture they've got. Needs to be respected.
>>738507663>it's an animal companion that is always with her friend, not a minefieldAnd yet, the snake will kill arabella regardless of Kagha's commands. So yes, basically a minefield>They chose to stay with druidsThey didn't, they were headed to baldur's gate, they want to leave, you even find a tiefling scout outside. They have literally been forced there by goblins.> If they cannot understandIt's a TODDLER. It's not some dumbas 40 year old who should have known better, it's a literal child
>>738507561>the only possible punishments for crime are death or banishment That’s awfully silly, anon. >>738507548But that analogy falls flat, anon. It’s not remotely the same. >>738507645Arabella’s theft, yes. Nobody ever said Mol’s thievery is justified. In fact, I said she’s an evil character. But a small group of orphans committing petty crimes doesn’t justify killing all the tieflings, and you know it.
>>738507676All of these threats also apply to the druids. When you are under siege the laws are always far stricter and traitors who would open the gates to the enemy obviously get a very harsh penalty including death. It was extremely nice of the druids to even entertain letting these people stay for one more second and merely imprisoning the child.
>>738507719>sounds like the tieflings have even more reason to be on their best behaviorThey do, what Arabella did was reckless and endangerad everyone>Somehow you walk away witht he opposite opinion and believe that they should be allowed to stealWriting fanfiction again?They shouldn't. Arabella should be disciplined. I don't see how this has ANYTHING to do with killing her.
>>738507745She should but the entire grove goes apeshit if you merely throw her down a hill. Why? If they cared so much about her, why not stop her from stealing from everyone?
>>738507719>>738507759>he's STILL arguing against the strawman
>>738507759>Why waste your time and effort punishing them when you can just tell them to fuck offOk, then why are you defending Kagha enjoying her time terrorizing Arabella with a snake thenAlready walking back and moving goalposts? So you DO AGREE with all of us that Kagha was wrong to kill Arabella then?
>>738507794Why not? They should control their hellspawn. If they can't control their fucking kids then send them all out on their asses. Fuck em.
>>738507702Sounds like something the devil would do, yeah. Raphael shows up a little later to scam the little girl out of her soul. I could see him teaching her a thing or two while he’s at it. The fact of the matter is that all the other tieflings are portrayed as generally decent people. A small group of orphans doing wrong doesn’t justify banishing them, if banishing them means certain death.
>>738507827>why not stop her from stealingBecause they didn't know? What kind of dumb question is this? I'm happy you have a time travel machine anon, but us normal mortals do not, so if a toddler does something stupid we could have maybe prevented with previous knowledge we did not have, we can't fix it retroactively.
>>738507856How is it a strawman? You're saying sending them out is a death sentence so they aren't allowed to do that. So they just have to put up with a gang of thieves turning their home into a shithole?
>>738495251I didn't play this game yet but your synopsis is giving me flashbacks to the case in nu-Sherlock Chapter One where you have to investigate and decide whether or not to cover up a crime committed by refugees because they might have to go back home if they are the culprit. You are clearly pushed towards this option to atone for the racism of Great Britain, but at least the game is based enough to let you not give a fuck and find them guilty anyway.
>>738507763it's literally like a pitbull, I suggest not making sudden movies but the retarded tiefling child that almost caused a genocide of druids got the darwin award instead. It's not a toddler. Stop lying. Stop it. She is 7-9 years old, toddlers are 1-3 years old. You know you are lying but you dont care.>They didn't, they were headed to baldur's gate, they want to leave, you even find a tiefling scout outside. They have literally been forced there by goblins.nobody forces them to be there, they wanted it because it's the best location to be in. Stop word gaming.
>>738507873She didn't kill her in my playthrough.>>738507913All of them except every single child and the ones suggesting they murder all the druids if they tell them to leave. Yeah, great people.
>>738507942>You're saying sending them out is a death sentence so they aren't allowed to do that.Anon you are fighting phantoms even now
I hate the shitty oppressed misunderstood snowflake tieflings of modern D&D so much its unreal.
>>738507975anyone who puts an untrained pitbull near a child for any reason is a murderer
>>738507975>it's literally like a pitbullInteresting, so you are in favor of disciplining 9 year olds by putting them in front of pitbulls who will maul them to death if they moveDo tell us more about it
>>738507975>nobody forces them to be therelollmao
>>738495251It was a really bizarre decision to milk that refugee shit all the way up to the act 3. Then again, the whole game was just a series of bizarre decisions, from every second NPC being an angry woman to using a randomly-generated Wildermyth campaign as blueprint for your AAA RPG main plot.
>>738507939How the fuck don't you know they set up a fake stall in order to steal from passersby? It was so fucking obvious the second you step foot in the grove. They knew what the fuck was going on. Mol is so obviously evil.
>>738508012Are you retarded? There are several posts saying sending them out is a death sentence so the druids aren't allowed to do it. Are you just pretending to be illiterate?
>>738507942>So they just have to put up with a gang of thievesNo? There are many ways to deal with that without death sentences. For example, as I already said, 10 lashes to any kid who steals from the druids. A harsh punishment, but much more reasonable.
>>738507878>>738507942This was fun, anon. But I feel like you’re running out of steam. Yes, you can send an entire group of people out to certain death at the hands of monstrous forces because of the petty crimes of a few small children, but it isn’t morally justified. It is an evil act, by almost any definition. I’m gonna call it quits here.
>>738507671>Yeah, it was just an army of vicious, bloodthirsty monsters being controlled by an eldritch horror from beyond, beyond controlled by the proxies of three evil, demonic gods. Totally unreasonable.they had no knowledge of that particular threat nor was it a realistic threatto the tieflings, the only ship that arrived crashed and everyone on board was killed in the crash
>>738508112are we really going to do this dance again?
>>738508115But they have to accept them in their grove at the risk of their own safety because sending away the ingrates would be too mean? But stealing from your protectors isn't? They must be victimized repeatedly and punish individuals repeatedly instead of just telling them all to get lost?
>>738508065Again, what the FUCK does this have to do with Arabella sneaking in and trying to steal the idol?We are killing Arabella because Mol, a completely different person, is scamming adventurers?
I think what we’ve learned itt is that pit bulls are definitively the biggest pieces of shit in reality or fantasy.
>>738508051no I'm not but that was a special situation because the pitbull was her animal companion and Kagha probably never leaves her side and doesn't even know a concept such as "oh, please snake friend who I love.. just leave the room right now because the superior humans are talking now"
>>738508135But stealing from the people who saved your lives and gave you shelter isn't evil, right? It's so petty to be the biggest fucking ingrates in the world, isn't it? They are evil so anything bad happening to them is good.
>>738508141It is the exact danger which threatens the tieflings. The army of the absolute, which is an army controlled by an elder brain, which is itself controlled by the dead three.
>entire race of people with devil hornsno trial needed, kill em all
>>738508204why do you continually fail to consider the fact the tieflings are protecting them from the goblin horde?
>>738508115the plan was to imprison the child until they leave, this is even more reasonable than 10 lashes to a literal child. Nobody gave that child the death penalty and it wasn't even up for debate, it was an unfortunate accident due to the retarded child's behavior around dangerous animal companions.
>>738508225>Why would you ever assume this thieving child is associated with the band of other thieving children?! Preposterous!>>738508153There's no dance. Just you being too fucking retarded to understand stealing from your protectors is deserving of a death sentence.
>>738508349finally you accept that you really just want to kill kids.
>>738508241nah pitbulls are just a fucked up dog breed that shouldn't existthe biggest pieces of shit are people who expose their pitbull to other people or their pets
>Kagha not being an optional party member if you expose herMISSED FUCKING POTENTIAL! HOW THE DICK DID LARIAN FAIL TO SEE IT?!
>>738508328Because they aren't. The druids could defend themselves or do their ritual or whatever whether the tieflings were there or not. They aren't needed.
>>738508328read through the thread, the point he consistently fails to address is that the tieflings are defending the grove at great personal riskbecause acknowledging that would completely undermine his argumentsbasically until he addresses that it's safe to ignore anything he says
does wotr have the same issues?
>>738508369If you turn around and steal from the people that just saved your life, that makes you the biggest piece of shit on planet earth. It's the those highwaymen who pretend to need trouble then murder the people that come to their aid. No punishment is worthy of such a betrayal.
>>738508329if you put a scared child in a situation where they can easily die if they make a sudden movethen that is not an accident.Even an actual court of law would try you for at least neglect lol
>>738508329>due to the retarded child's behavior around dangerous animal companions.No, actually, it was the retarded adult behavior from kagha who thought the best way to punish a 9 year old was threatening her with a snake SHE KNEW would kill said child if any sudden movement happenedThis cannot even be considered an "unfortunate accident", this would be malicious murder in ANY court of law.
>>738497378Does it still work? The Wylla mod stopped working for me after patch 7.
>>738508414Save them from what? Let them do their ritual or whatever they want. It's their grove, not the tieflings'.
>>738508464sorry I don't really care about your justifications for killing kids
>>738508406>Because they aren't.They literally do, if the goblins attack the tieflings form THE FIRST LINE of defense>he druids could defend themselvesNo they couldn't, without the player the goblins can overpower BOTH tieflings and druids, let alone only druids> or do their ritual That will lock out their leader, and give the grove to an evil enemy faction
>>738508518Have you ever eaten lamb? There's literally no difference. Tieflings aren't the same as humans. They are devils. Lower than beasts. You don't cry when billions of male chicks are slaughtered every year for the crime of not being a hen.
>>738508535It's their grove, they can do what they please with it. If the tieflings have a problem with it then they can find another grove instead of threatening to just kill all the druids like that one tiefling does.
>>738507141giwtwm with Minthara
>>738508591We get it, you want an excuse to murder children because it gives you a boner and this excuse is as good as any.It's ok, people have argued weirer positions on 4chan.
>>738508591So you'd eat the kid too?Damn anon.
>>738508650>It's their grove, they can do what they please with itInteresting, because Halsin welcomed the tieflings, and several druids disagree with Kagha, even BEFORE discovering the shadow druids are behind the ritual.So exactly, who is this "they" collective that can do as "they" please? Because its not the leader of the druids, that's for sure.
>>738508660You have no problem eating veal but killing literal devils is too much?>>738508661Nah, too stringy.
>>738495251There is one word to describe BG3. Breathtaking.
>>738501878is this actually accurate
>>738508707If he was the leader then where was he? Certainly not leading.
>>738508713>literal devilsLearn what the word "literal" meansThey are not, by definition, literal devils.
>>738508707the highest ranking druid was kagha so therefore she can do as she pleases until halsin returns
>>738508763>Red skin>Horns>Not a devilThey certainly aren't on the same level as humans, that's for sure. They act like animals so skills be treated like them.
>>738508757I ask you again, to clarify who is "they">where was heTo try to solve the actual problem, which was not the tieflings, but the goblins. Trying to solve the actual problem is what wise people do. Selling your grove to an enemy faction is what retarded people do.
>>738508815Leaders know how to delegate. Why did he choose to leave the evil one in charge if he was so smart?
Why is /v/ so full of reactionaries now?
>>738508809>They act like animals so skills be treated like them.Anon one day your 10 year old kid will be punished in school, for stealing a pen, or insulting a classmate, or whatever, as 99% of (white and aryan) kids do, and that day I ask you to kill your son and make fried son nuggets out of him, as you would a chicken. As apparently, this is your line of reasoning.
>>738508863>the evil oneOh, thanks. You agree with me, Kagha is evil (though I would say she is also retarded)This concludes our discussion at last.
>>738508909If my son was stealing the livelihood from someone who saved his life then he deserves to be punished. You downplay the absolute betrayal they are committing on their saviors.
>>738508951I was using your argument against you, stupid. She isn't evil, just misguided. You claim halsin was so smart but somehow left the evil one in charge. It's logically inconsistent.
>>738504231WOKE! WOKE! WOKE! TRANNY!THAT NEVER HAPPENS! RIGHT-WING IS IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA AND MANIPULATION!
>>738496267>"She's not comically evil">Shifts blame on other comically evil characters
>>738495251The Tieflings don't want to live in the druid grove. They want to live in Baldur's Gate. They're sheltering in the druid grove to hide from the goblins.The game doesn't suggest that punishing the child that stole the holy symbol is wrong, but rather that the head druid has gone completely overboard and wants to either kill the child or put her in indefinite imprisonment instead of making her do extra chores or something appropriate. What's more, its made clear that the child stole the holy symbol because it was being used to seal the grove and cast the Tieflings into the hands of the goblins, not because of her culture (whatever that means)At no point is the head druid portrayed as a bigot. She never once says anything bad about the Tieflings beyond them potentially attracting goblin raiders. Rather, she's a religious fanatic under the sway of an extremist sect of the druids secretly operating in the grove and is using the refugees as an excuse to essentially entrap the druids in her wacky cult.
>>738508909Not that anon and have no idea what you two even argue about at this point, but I must say that it's extremely funny to me how a kid stealing something is a probable kind of scenario in your head. What kind of shithole did your crawl out of?
>>738508962>then he deserves to be punishedNobody is disputing this anonWe are going in circles, NOBODY here is arguing Arabella deserves absolutely no punishmentThis has been explained to you SEVERAL times already, but you, retarded mongrel as you are, are yet to grasp this simple fact.>downplayYou overdramatizeSo far what has actually happened is Mol scamming adventurers and Arabella failing to steal something in desperation (which every tiefling agrees was a dumb thing to do)Yet you are here saying stuff like "constantly victimized" and "betrayed" (by a 10 year old?) as if Zevlor was there shoving 10 shanks in the back of random druids in the street a la new york nigger
I'm guessing no one here played tieflings either. Genuinely soulless board.
>>738509110I notice every time I mention the tiefling that suggests they kill all the druids to save themselves, you conveniently ignore it. Why is that?
>>738506568If you have Detect Thoughts you can see the snake has her own agency and bites the child on her free will.
>>738509090>whatever that meansYeah, what could that possibly mean? Tieflings in a dnd game, being thieves that steal shit randomly? Where did that come from?
>>738509092>a kid stealing something is a probable kind of scenario in your headHave you ever met a kid in your life? Have you ever been to a elementary school classroom? If you know of a magical land where kids never lie, steal candy, or stay awake at night while they should be sleeping, please point me to it.If you have sons, and believe they have never done any ill, you are naive and probably failing as a parent because what it actually means is that they are successfully getting away with it.
Is her plan to just sit in the cave eating good berries forever because a bunch of people who can potentially morph into bears and shit fear goblins?
>>738508475you are objectively wrong, is this the reaction of someone who maliciously murdered someone? she literally ordered the snake back immediately in shock and hid her face in sadness. This was NOT intentional>>738508369Not even Halsin says that Kagha murdered the child. Nobody even claims it, you are just falling for carefully worded propaganda. Look how the weasel writers made Halsin say this line: "A child is dead because of you". Kagha: "It was an accident!" Halsin: "You were the driving force behind this madness". He doesn't even accuse her of murder nor challenges Kagha's claim that it was an accident because he can't. It WAS an accident.https://youtu.be/eqiYv5RQmNU
>if you support the tieflings, you support all the stabbings in Europe (?)>if you support the druids, you're a white supremacist (???)Is it just me or is there a complete inability to separate fiction from reality now? Everything inspired by real life is now directly linked to the same issue in real life. There's no attempt to take any of these issues at face value in the context of the game's world.
>>738505267>Omit the part that American administrations keep destabilizing the countries these brown migrants are from (Drone Strikes/Monroe Doctrine) so they don't want to stay put in their home country.These are the people calling us disingenious.

>>738509260>Is it just me or is there a complete inability to separate fiction from reality nowyea at some point game devs lost this skill
>>738509195>Why is that?What is there to say? When you enter the grove, exactly 0 druids have been murdered. So, the druids aren't being victimized, unless you consider some random comment from some random guy victimization.
Any straw man media where the heckin refugee-erinos are infallible and perfect and you're EVIL if you don't utterly support it is just irredeemable tradh
>>738509295Except for all the money being stolen from them.
>>738509242>is this the reaction of someone who maliciously murdered someone? she literally ordered the snake back immediately in shock and hid her face in sadness. This was NOT intentionalGood luck explaining that to the court when they ask you why exactly did you put the snake in front of the child
>>738509207Tieflings don't have a unique culture in D&D. They're not really a race unto themselves. People randomly become Tieflings because of some kind of infernal influence on their bloodline (an ancestor fucked demons, their family made pacts with demons, their parents were demon worshipers, etc etc). Tieflings had a tendency towards criminality because of the pull of the infermal realms in their soul, not because of some sort of unique Tiefling culture (of which there is none.)
>>738509291The game never says this, so not the devs. I'm talking about the Internet in general.
>>738509260>Is it just me or is there a complete inability to separate fiction from reality now?Only online, which ironically, isn't real either and shouldn't be taken seriously.
>>738509216I'm sorry, neither me nor my peers stole or were thinking about stealing anything at any point when we were small. We were kinda busy doing kid stuff, which definitely does not involve or require taking such strange risks. I'll just laugh at your sorry (probably brown) ass once more and be on my way.
>>738509343That IS a culture, retard-anon. How do you think cultures originate?
my friend who played the game said the entire cast ranges from mid to boring to shit except for Laezel and Astarion
>>738509329that requires zero luck, it's her animal companion who is always with her and she's a druid, duh. That's like asking "why did you carry a hammer to work" when you are a construction worker
>>738509419
>>738509260>if you support the tieflings, you support all the stabbings in EuropeThis is true thoughever.
>>738495251>Let refugees in>They demand you to give them gibs and your land forever>They start tribal warfare shit with neighbors (goblins) because they say are inferior and deserve it >They cry wolf and ask you why you aren't doing anything to help>They steal your shit and try to supplant your culture>They ask passing adventures to kill you if you don't give up your landIt dawned on me that this is more jew behavior than nigger behavior
>>738509242I've already explained it in this thread, putting a child in a life or death scenario, and then that child dying, is not an accident.And it would be tried as criminal neglect at best. Manslaughter at worse.
>>738496059>hey dude wanna see my warhammer army?>uh sure>so I love you, may I suck your cock???????????????
>>738509397Please do ask any of your peers if they have never stolen a pency or a candy.You're in for a surprise when you discover they were all filthy brown malignant criminals all along>We were kinda busy doing kid stuff, which definitely does not involve or require taking such strange risksLol? Kids are precisely the ones who take stupid risks, you are supposed to grow out of it. Did you take the inverse path and became stupider as you grew? Because it would explain a lot of things including your apparent alzheimer about your childhood.
>>738509406That is not a culture unless you're defining culture in such a way that "culture" is essentially a meaningless term. One person cannot have a culture unto themselves. Magical influence from the infernal realms on your soul is not a "culture" in any sense of the term in which the word "culture" remains meaningful.
>>738509274did you play the game?doesn't sound like it
>>738508389She would have been far more interesting and could have had character development. She could either lean into shadow druid tendencies and become more ruthless or continue being a traditional druid and more benevolent.Instead, we get Halsin. Yet another stereotypical dnd druid.
>>738509458She didn't "carry" the snake, she was using it to threaten the childAgain, think about doing it with a pitbull, now go and explain it to a judge.
>>738509470They're just a couple dozen war refugees trying to take refuge in a hippie commune. It's not a cultural microcosm of anything, calm the fuck down.>>738509463Genuinely deranged take.
>>738509528People with shared experiences and physical traits bond. At numbers of at least tens of thousands, this would at least begin to formulate a subculture even if not yet a culture.
>>738509506nobody in my friend group ever stole anything, you may just be a piece of shit who has piece of shit friends
>>738509590Oh wow. I guess that means every kid that didn't act like you and your friends should be executed, that would make the world a better place.
>>738509491those children are in a life or death scenario every second they are in the grove then because there are bears walking around too. Better not startle them ey? Just stop arguing nonsense, it's not the druid's fault that there are evil demonblood children making sudden moves around their animal companions.
>>738509590>nobody in my friend group ever stole anythingYou are either lying or completely delusional, and no amount of pretense moral highground will ever convince anyone that you are not deranged.I ask you to go on the street and ask 10 random (white) people if they believe the average kid has never stolen a pencil. They will rightfully laugh in your face.
>>738509658>Crime is normalNo it's not, what kind of fucking retard are you to think that if everyone steals you should steal too?
THE WHITE MAN IS UNDER SIEGE FROM KIKES AND MUSLIMS AND TRANNIES AND FEMINISTS AND LEFTISTS AND GLOBALISTSDEATH TO KIKESDEATH TO MUSLIMSDEATH TO TRANNIESDEATH TO FEMINISTSDEATH TO LEFTISTSDEATH TO GLOBALISTS
>>738509343>It's not their culture, evil is just imbedded in their dna!
>>738509506It's just not an experience that children normally tend to have, bro. It's okay if you had it rougher than most of us, but it's still not a thing that happens to the majority of people in 1st-world countries.
>>738509695People are a spectrum of traits, not everyone is like each other. Some steal at a young age because they are trying to grapple with what is right and wrong to do. A child is the last person to deserve being held to a death sentence for theft.Also there are many circumstances where it is ethical to steal, if I were starving I wouldn't feel bad about breaking into your house to grab an apple and if people were to get mad at you for shooting at me on the way out that would probably be justified too.
>>738509695Nobody thinks that "crime is normal", that is not the argument being made here. The argument is that the belief that the average child has NEVER done anything wrong is absolutely laughable.Obviously, on average, the child got punished and probably never did it again, that is the normal.
>>738509658It would objectively make the world better and less crime-ridden. Wtf. Are browns just incapable of imagining not stealing or being stolen from?
>>738509665>those children are in a life or death scenario every second they are in the grove then because there are bears walking around too. This is the best you can come up with? She explicitly threatens the child with the snake. little girl runs, snake bites and kills her.This would be considered a criminal act in most courts of law and morally reprehensible.It is not an accident.
>>738509742Not him, but I literally don't give a fuck about what goes on in the first world countries. You're not the standard, and games like BG3 should not appeal to your kind.
>>738509817I can put a wallet down in public in my country without it being stolen, sure. That doesn't mean a child should get executed by venom injection for breaking these good norms and stealing it. That's a massive leap of escalation.
>>738509691No, none of my friends set up a lemonade stand on the pretext of pickpocketing the people who just want to help them by buying from them.
>>738509742>It's just not an experience that children normally tend to haveIt is anon> It's okay if you had it rougher than most of usI didn't, I enjoyed my elementary years in a private school which is above average in europe, where schools are public.And again, no amount of gaslighting will get you out of this, your position is retarded, anyone who has kids, worked in a school, or even remebers his childhood knows your position is completely retarded. You might as well argue that no kid has ever pissed their bed.
>>738509539ok so we went from "Kagha is an evil murderer!" to: "well it's a bit negligent that druids don't keep all their companions on leashes so the evil demon refugees can feel safer." Cool, at least you finally agree that Kagha is not evil at all and that this was an accident.
>>738509889>No, none of my friends set up a lemonade stand on the pretext of pickpocketingMoving the goalpostI used the stealing the pencil example and anon said no normal kid ever stole a pencil, that it is not normalThat is the point I'm arguing againstThe scam and pickpocket part are a completely different thing, most kids are not pickpockets.
>>738509841she warns the child to remain still, Kagha literally advises her on safe behavior around wild animals but the raging wild demon child doesn't care
>>738509790>anything wrongStealing is not "wrong", stealing is a fucking crime. Doing something wrong is hiding a bad mark from your mom or sweeping the dirt under the bed instead of properly cleaning your room. Your argument is fucking insane, like it or not stealing just isn't a relatable experience to most people.
>>738509975You aren't even trying anymore.Sad!
>>738509916Actually not, we went from >>738508475" it was the retarded adult behavior from kagha", my stated position.To >>738509539Me explaining the retarded behavior of kaghaBut nice try anonNext time maybe it will work.
>>738509587>People with shared experiences and physical traits bond.The tendency for Tieflings to engage in petty crimes does not come from interacting with other Tieflings. A Tiefling completely by themselves will feel at least a slight desire to engage in minor acts of evil. This is because this behavior originates from their souls being aligned with Evil as a grand cosmic force through their infernal heritage. It is not a learned behavior from interacting with other Tieflings.There is nothing in this game that suggests that petty crime is something that is okay with the Tiefling refugees. If the Tiefling girl is returned to her parents, she gets scolded for stealing the holy symbol. The Tiefling refugees are generally portrayed as honest folk who have resisted the Tiefling tendency towards crime and evil and are mostly engaged in honest, wholesome employment. The exception is the Tiefling children having formed their own little thieves' guild for children, which is likely borne of innate infernal influence and not the culture of the Tiefling adults.
>>738509956There was a gang of them. You don't get to misrepresent the situation then chide us for not playing along with your fantasy scenario. Every tiefling child shown in the game was a thieving piece of shit.
>>738509889You are extremely sheltered. Seriously. This isn't a cultural white vs brown thing, this is you just being a high-strung introvert and avoiding anyone with the slightest bit of risktaking nature.
>>738509956you are the one carefully manufacturing a scenario that no longer fits the discussion. It is not in fact normal for children to steal holy relics from places of worship, it's not a pencil nor a snicker's bar.
>>738510013I don't know who you are, I just joined the conversation two minutes before I made the comment you replied to. I'm just defending the tieflings, I don't care about the reasoning behind your posts if you're not against my side.
>>738510013>There is nothing in this game that suggests that petty crime is something that is okay with the Tiefling refugeesExcept for allowing their kids to set up a gang of thieves in the middle of their saviors' refuge.
>>738510074those are all explicitly orphans
>>738509984>Doing something wrong is hiding a bad mark from your momFraud>sweeping the dirt under the bed instead of properly cleaning your roomLittering private propertySee how fucking retarded calling it "actual crime" is?>Your argument is fucking insaneAnon you are arguing that a kid stealing a pencil from his classmate is an heinous crime unheard of in most classroomsYou are literally insane and removed from reality.>isn't a relatable experience to most peopleIt is, again, if you have EVER been around kids you had to deal with this shit. It's not relatable to you because you have never left your basement in the last decade, maybe.
>>738495251Can you form your own sentences or do you always copy paste the cringiest polshit greentexts? Are you even developed enough to formulate and speak out your own thoughts, or are you eternally 12?Like, shit on BG3 all you want, it actually deserves plenty of criticism, but at least do it yourself with your own words, you fucking cattle parody of a human larva waste of oxygen and food brainlet cuck tranny bigger bitch retard.
>>738509260We are under moral and spiritual siege, it's about time we take things seriously.
>>738510007it's unreasonable to expect druids to keep all their friends on a leash
>>738509713>It's not their culture, evil is just imbedded in their dna!Yes, correct. Evil is a real, cosmic force in the D&D settings and a Tiefling is essentially a person who has been mutated from birth by the cosmic force of Evil by some method, either by literally fucking demons or some other influence of Evil over their births. That's what Tiefling is.
>>738510013>There is nothing in this game that suggests that petty crime is something that is okay with the Tiefling refugeesNo, that is wrong. I played the game, and was pickpocketed by a tiefling kid, and then when I tried to punish him the camp turned hostile on me. I wasn't bothered by that, but I'm just saying that what you're saying is blatantly untrue and the tieflings in game couldn't care less about a little band of criminals operating under their nose and specifically do not want to bring them to justice.
>>738510024So your friends did set up a scam to steal from people who have done nothing but help them? That shows higher order thinking for them to set up the stall. That's culpability if I've ever heard it. It wasn't just swiping something when they had a chance. They set up a scenario by which they could steal from innocent people. You can't justify that with "kids will be kids".
>>738510043>It is not in fact normal for children to steal holy relics from places of worshipAgreed, it was an extreme circumstance which is abnormal, and the kids should be punished more than for a minor misdemeanor. Now what?> it's not a pencil nor a snicker's barOh so you retards DO AGREE it's a normal things that happens, after all. Good!>>738510021> us for not playing along with your fantasy scenarioAn anon literally did, and I was replying to himIf you don't want to engage with it, don't reply to the conversation, retard.
>>738510104what are (you) even doing at this point bruh
>>738510090Yeah, tiefling orphans. Not druid orphans. Let them steal from the gobbos out in the wild on their own.
>>738510135She's the effective head of state, she has a higher degree of responsibility. But even then, in real life, do you think the Vatican security would shoot an 11 year old refugee for trying to steal the True Cross? No, they wouldn't.
>>738510135>to keep all their friends on a leashAnon the snake wasn't wandering around by chance, she was actively using it to threaten the child.
>>738510219they'd die anon
>>738510149So anything done to them is deserved. They certainly can't be compelled to harbor them because other people might do bad things to them if they don't.
>>738510207You are right, I don't know what I'm doing, I'm arguing with someone who thinks the average kid has never stolen a cookie or pissed the bedWhat a waste of my time.
>>738510170I'm a different guy from the other one you were talking to, and no. Lemonade stands aren't a thing people do in my country. But I'm also from a private school, so I'm not gonna presume to know the norms of people outside my circle where I hear kids get into literal knife fights over drugs in public school. And even those cases I wouldn't assume they're irredeemable.The point in any case isn't the moral standard, but your extreme implementation of it. There's no real world society, not even Iran or North Korea, that would treat children like that.
>ITT: Anons attempt to justify child murdera 4chan classic
>>738510192>Agreed, it was an extreme circumstance which is abnormal, and the kids should be punished more than for a minor misdemeanor. Now what?exactly what Kagha wanted to do: imprison the child until the parents leave together with the child.>Oh so you retards DO AGREE it's a normal things that happens, after all. Good!no of course stealing is not normal, however I'm aware that this world is filled with evil people who do such things and people like you who rush to defend them and call it normal. You are in fact evil and that is why you defend evil behavior. Because of people like you there are laws in California that make stealing anything under 800 dollars a misdemeanor or whatever it was. People like you are the source of evil.
>>738510192>You can't criticize my false equivalency! If you have a problem with me being a liar then just don't talk to me.I'd rather call you out for being a dipshit.
>>738510238Good. Then maybe they'll learn not to steal from people who are helping them. When the goblin blade pierces their sternum, they can ponder whether the money they stole was worth it.
>>738505903>>738505750>>738505667>>738505812Did any game based off 3.5 ever adapt the ToB classes and maneuver system?
>>738510238They probably wouldn't, their stats should allow some careful stealing from the gobbos here and there, and they would have an even bigger chance to clear the whole camp when the gobbos are drunk. Games try to imitate reality, and that's why both in fantasy and IRL people stealing from their society not because it's the most effective way of actions, but because they are too dumb/unwilling to apply their courage/talents elsewhere.
I mostly hate bg3 because it has the gall to offer honor mode in their bug filled mess.
>>738510339When your entire life and livelihood is under attack by outside forces, that is an extreme situation and demands extreme solutions. How hard is it to just not betray people that saved your fucking life?
>>738510408Not a justified moral standard by any society in real life in the past 500 years. You can take the position if you want, but you would be on your own. Good luck.
>>738510282Despite the influence of the infernal realms on their souls, Tieflings still have free will and are not in any sense compelled to acts of Evil.
>>738510237of course it wasn't wandering around by chance, it's her home. She deserves to be there unlike the child. "hey, be still now or my friend will get very angry with you" is not a murder threat, Kagha is only saying that out of worry for the child and in an attempt to teach the child to chill the fuck out now because this is serious.
>>738510473You're telling me if a Mexican family huddled into your house to dodge cartels and one kid tried to take off with your dad's heirloom, you would shoot the kid and tell the rest of the family to fuck off and get beheaded?
>>738506150>sword and board probably would be a lot more fun if you could you know, actually do things people are depicted as doing with a shield in fantasy artYou'll get shield bash at negative modifiers and you'll damn well like it. If you wanted to be at all optimized you should be using great weapon master or dodge tanking in pajamas.
>>738510476Yeah bro, kids are never killed in war. Get a load of this retard.>>738510481So they all choose to be thieving shitheads? Even more reason to send them packing.
>>738510358>exactly what Kagha wanted to doWhat she actually did was set a pitbull on the child>you defend evil behaviorI don'tI literally argued for punishmentYou literally replied to me arguing for punishment literally 2 sentences before this one, how stupid can you fucking be that when typing a post you forgot what you were replying to literally 2 sentences ago? If I want the crime punished, I am clearly not defending or allowing it, am I not?Jesus christ. This is downright embarrassing.We went from you arguing no kid steals cookies or pisses the bed, to now the incredible "you are ontologically evil because you believe that when a kid inevitably commits an error you want to punish him to guid him to be better"This is just incredible, I'm left completely speechless by your utter idiocy.
>>738510514Is this some kind of trick question?
>>738510221nobody shot the child, this is more like if the Vatican had free roaming generally nice guard dogs and you expect the Vatican guards to all put them on leashes when a child steals something
>>738510164The Tieflings only turn hostile if your idea of punishment is running the children through with your sword.
>>738510473>demands extreme solutionsNo, it doesn't. The entire point of WW2 and the post-war international world order is to establish a new and right moral order where nothing can ever demand extreme solutions ever again. If you can't abide by that, you should not live in the modern world. Go into a forest and cut yourself off from the internet and global economy. The world is under the rule of internationalist humanists and globalists by vae victis, abide by our norms or leave.
>>738505215>Wizards are the strongest class late game, but Paladins are not weak at alllPaladins are good at levels 1 - 3. Less so if the other classes get splat book feats.Martials suck in D&D, man.
>>738510514Now you're just taking the piss, you'd have to be retarded not to understand what kind of answer any person would give to such a specific situation.
>>738510589All I did was throw mol down a hill and they all went berserk.
>>738500882>do something extremely selfish at the expense of others which is considered an 'evil' act since 70s when aligment system was drafted>NPCs call me...evil?? WHAT THE FUCK?!you're closer to 41% than any troon I've ever seen because your fragility goes even beyond femoid scope lmao
>>738510589As I said, I have no problems with that. Just don't go around saying things that are obviously untrue.
>>738495251Don't get why wokies think orcs are an allegory for niggers when tieflings just straight up are the niggers of the setting.
>>738510537425 replies later and you still don't understand that Kagha gave no order to attack the child, who's stupid here? it's you. Look how your brain is incapable of forming an honest argument. Stealing cookies and wetting the bed implies a family internal matter which is what you subconsciously construct as an argument in your favor, while the entire discussion is clearly about a general criminal thieving matter.
>>738510567No? Why on earth would you even think that?
>>738506645American culture is strange to me.Defend religious fanaticsKill children that don't fall in line
>>738510592>Believes children somehow stopped being killed in war and it doesn't happen daily in present yearRetard alert.
>>738510662Tieflings are attractive, that's the only reason.
>>738510619Stories like D&D are supposed to be idealistic. The druids should be held to a higher standard than any one man would in real life. That's the point.
>>738510668Yes, I obviously would. If you take something irreplaceable from me then your life is forfeit.
>>738510536>So they all choose to be thieving shitheads? They don't ALL choose to be thieving shitheads. The Tiefling adults are all honest workers. But they DO feel the pull of Evil on their souls, which means that Tieflings are, on average, more likely to become criminals than, say, an uncorrupted human, but they are by no means ALL criminals and none of the actual adults among the Tiefling refugees are criminals. Though, the Tieflings that do choose to engage in criminality did, in fact, choose to do it.
>>738510686That's not what I said. You're coming up with arguments in your head now.What's the point of this conversation? I joined late. What is the point you're trying to make? Because I genuinely can't tell, I think you're just ragebaiting from my no context view
>>738507950Doesn't the same game have Sherlock cover up a jewish serial killer because it might encourage anti semitism?
>>738506949I'm not sure if you are doing it on purpose, but this reads like someone defending a police who shot a child.
>>7385056675e paladins get a free +5 save on everything from themselves and anyone around and can reliably one shot everything with divine smite while having immunities for all the most common worse statuses in the game, what the fuck are you on about?
>>738510592no, you will abide by God's laws or you will get removed like you stupid dogs that you are. "Extreme" punishments" will always be necessary because humans do not change, it doesn't matter how warped your reality is. There is no time limit on the death penalty, nor is there a time limit on punishing thievery or adultery or any of the other crimes. It's good that you are so open about your moral corruption though, please keep talking loudly about how your idea of humanism is the effective legalization of evil behavior due to zero punishment agendas.
>>738508450Lmao. Pathfinder in general is way worse.
>>738510726You have no individual right to decide moral authority. Or maybe that's what you're taught, I don't know, I'm not a postmodern westerner. But going with my question - on what basis do you base this moral authority to do so, other than just "I feel like it lol"?
>>738510727>The Tiefling adults are all honest workersYeah, especially the guy that said to kill all the druids if they force them to leave.>>738510750Then what are you saying, retard? Because kids who do stupid shit during war get (justifiably) killed. How many arab kids were shot in iraq and afghanistan? More than a few, I'm sure.
>>738510705The druids in BG1 try to kill a young nobleman because he dared to hunt in their forest. The druids in NWN2 can split into two groups, one of which allies with the King of Shadows and the other decides to fuck away to the marshes and not to help the MC.I think there were some druids in NWN1 too, and they were fucking useless also. You know, probably druids are not paladins and are expected from the narrative point of view to be kinda jerks.
>>738510663>still don't understand that Kagha gave no order to attackWhat makes you believe I don't understand that? The post isn't about Kagha, it's about the anon who argued kids never steal anything in school and that I'm responsible for california laws or something.Kagha obviously did not order to murder Arabella, she merely put a poisonous snake in front of her because she's retarded. So she ranges from malicious idiot to retarded idiot, depending on how charitable you are to her. Funnily enough, my estimation of you and other posters in this thread, including you, also ranges from malicious idiots to retarded idiots, depending on how charitable I want to be.
>>738510727>The Tiefling adults are all honest workerslol I'm pretty sure there is a quest where they try to employ you to kill Kagha and anyone who stands with her, full ISIS assassination style.
>>738510805>God's laws I'm not Christian. Your god has no authority, and I wouldn't take your word, of all peoples, as authority even if there was proof.
>>738510824Don't violate the NAP, nigger.
>>738495962Why? Because they actually helped you during the goblin attacks?
>>738510839I don't know, I just came into the conversation and concluded without going up the chain of comments to waste my time, that you think it's okay for head of states to murder children in wartime even if they stole a holy relic during a siege. Not "whether it happens", but that you fully support it and justify it because fringe groups today do it. If you want to change my view of you, do it quickly and respectfully. I'm waiting. Don't be flippant at me either.
It feels like people are being willingly obtuse whenever bg3 is in discussion at all.
What pisses me off with the game is that all evil is comically evil and if you go down an evil path there's just one bothced questline while being a good goy and agreeing with everyone opens up dozens of them.
>>738495251Eh most of them are decent folk so I'll try to help them.
>>738510874How many times do I have to say this? I don't give a fuck about whatever insane ass political ideology you have. I come from a non western, non white country. I speak only from lived experience. There is no sane modern standard for murdering a child under wartime for theft of a holy relic. No one here part of the mainline society would ever agree to that. Why is it so important to you that you justify is as good, good, good?
>>738510874Rothbard wouldn't behead a 10 year old because she stole his walletHe would sell them, but that's another matter entirely.
>>738510752No, that was one of the older games, Sherlock Holmes VS Jack the Ripper I think. The new ones are such a weird mix of based and woke, you uncover human trafficking and go to an Eyes Wide Shut party where you eventually find evidence to implicate a super creepy rich gay pedo in the same game as the refugee slop. There's also a case where a young woman murdered her brother because he was beating and starving her to death in their mansion, and you can choose to basically tell her to get fucked, nobody is above the law and send her to life in prison. You can also just extrajudicially gun down literal waves of petty criminals and the only consequence of this is your imaginary friend is upset with you.
>>738510873...Very well. You shall no longer be under my protection, you will find no rest. Once I've defeated you I will replace all of humanity with more obedient servants.
>>738510972Because the game's plot was made mainly with Durge in mind, and it makes sense there because Durge's literal biology and divine nature compels carnage and violence>>738510968Well the writing is a bit on the nose relating to modern topics, I agree with the schizos that much. But even then I think the takes are getting out of control, idk what's happening in the west but nothing justifies this amount of derangement
>>738511105Why do American Protestants think they can literally speak for God? Do they realize how insane that is?
>>738496840Mods?
My father demanded me the blood of the weak and puny inhabitants of the grove, druids and devilspawn alike, and so that's what I did.
>>738511105>LARPingthere goes your credibility lad
>>738511021Children have been killed for much less during war. Open a history book sometime.
>>738510972The game has alot of evil choices but besides from Shart, they don’t really have any lasting consequences outside of losing a few items and getting a different ending. There should have been a evil path if you sided with the goblins and moonrise cultists. The companions should also had more fleshed out paths depending on their choices
>>738510959It shows an extreme lack of historical literacy if you think that isn't the status quo during war.
>>738511150>>738511191You would slander my name? Debase me? Denigrate He who created the very world you inhabit? To impugn me is to impugn existence itself. You would be tying your own rope...And yet I still love and pity you, my ignorant children. Repent ,and your sins shall be forgiven
>>738511105Yeah uh, try telling that to the GREATER WILL, homo
>>738511227I know they have, you clown. I can probably drive two hours from here and find a village where a child was shot. That DOESN'T justify doing it. Stop fantasizing about norms that don't contribute to any real cohesion in modern society and only would contribute to wild mass suffering with no purpose.
What get me is the literal thieving gang being portrayed as dindu. That one guy who got his family heirloom stolen was right. It is because people were coddling those thieving Tieflings that they get bolder as time passes. Especially Meli that little shit
>>738511351FUCK YOU.
>make a redhead elf with freckles>have her run around nude>try to get my bearings>touch my pp >shut the game off and do something elseevery time
>>738511270>>738511348The year is 2026 CE, anon. You can stop LARPing now, you're neither God or some medieval judge. We live in a society of post-Enlightenment values and we try to keep up norms worldwide as such even if some countries fail. Keep up.
>>738511403So basically you want a world where evil people use children to commit evil deeds because they know they are off limits? The punishment for helping the enemy is the same no matter what your age is.
My niche theory is still that the seethe over the game is just Anglos getting mad Belgians make better games than them
>>738511462>some countriesMost countries, you retard. Child killing was even committed by these paragons of virtue you seem to believe exist in first world countries. How many kids were shot in iraq?
>>738510839>Yeah, especially the guy that said to kill all the druids if they force them to leave.Yeah, because at that point it would have been a "them or us" situation. The head druid basically wants you to kill the Tieflings, the Tieflings said that if it comes to a situation where they're getting killed, that they would prefer it if you killed the druids instead. The Tieflings make it clear that this isn't their preferred option and its basically the last resort if the conflict cannot be resolved any other way.
>>738511490You know you can do a measured Lawful punishment instead of being nigger Evil murderhobo with zero impulse control, right?
>>738511540>He was just starting to turn his life around! He dindu nuffin.
>>738511490Look, I would concede to your point if Arabella had set off a bomb spell or some shit and killed five druids and her parents were still "no, please, she's a good kid". That's not what happened.
>>738511565Yeah, telling them to get the fuck out but apparently that isn't an option for you suicidally empathetic retards.
>>738511538What's your point? I still don't get it. Is it that child killing is normal, good, or both?
>>738510839>Yeah, especially the guy that said to kill all the druids if they force them to leave.>Iraq>Afghanistan>JustifiableThe soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan died for nothing. The soldiers who fought in Afghanistan especially were basically fighting, killing and dying so pedophile warlords could rape young boys and sell opium. No death, much less the death of any children, was a "justified death" in Iraq or Afghanistan.
>>738511582How is stealing from the people that saved your life any worse than that? Because you don't see the deaths directly? Stealing money from people might be the difference between them being able to afford food. But apparently life is in easy black and white for you.
>>738511462>>738511538Very well my cursed children. Have your wish. My lightning shall send you screaming to hell. There you shall burn, awash in suffering, bound to your original sin for all eternity
>>738511579What the fuck are you talking about? Zevlor was a retired soldier. He wasn't about to make any change to his life. He was just willing to go tit for tat with the druids if no other solution was possible.
>>738511626Normal and expected when you fuck around during wartime.>>738511653So what countries are you referring to? Because the americans, the british, the aussies all did that shit to kids. Their evil parents used them to carry around materiel thinking they wouldn't get shot or even hoping they did so they could use them as a rallying cry. The responsible ones are the adults meant to care for them AKA the other tieflings (that also confide in you their murderous rage).
>>738511670>how is stealing any better than killing 5 people in a terror bombing?I don't know anon, it might take all of your brain juices to figure that one out
>>738511670>how is stealing a valuable item any different from bombing and killing 5 people
>>738511714The guy that was with him immediately jumped to killing the druids if they didn't allow them to stay.
>>738511540Having your "last resort" options be "to slaughter good people that let you into their home for free and tolerated you for a significant amount of time" is something that evil characters do. Or an evil race, in this case. It's metagaming, but a morally correct thing would be to genocide them every playthrough knowing they're one step away from literally stabbing their neighbors in the back.
How do bards work? Am I just supposed to be buffing everyone?
>>738511687Thanks for reminding me I'm spending my lunchtime arguing with a legitimate schizo
>>738511770>>738511772Retards are apparently unable to understand cause and effect if it doesn't happen immediately. How much can you steal from a person before they die of hunger?
>>738511621It is possible. You can tell them to get the fuck out, at that point they refuse, attack you and you kill them in self-defense. Competely Lawful, it's considered Evil when you attack them, not when you defend yourself.
>>738511756The Americans, Brits and Aussies were the bad guys in those wars. They were illegally and offensively invading countries that never attacked them and were never going to attack them, and if anything the degree to which the Iraqis and Afghans resisted them was what was justified.
>>738511828>Since stealing could, in certain situations, have second order effects worse than the theft itself, any kind of stealing is literally murderThis is not how it works anon
>>738511810How could you deminish me to such a state? Impudent humans...I cannot forgive you...I asked only that you take the life I granted you and obediently follow my word. The weight of your blasphemy is too great for death. Eternal suffering is the only suitable punishment.UWWOOOOHHH
>>738501063More like what actually happened with Hurricane Katrina. There were tons of displaced poor black people, I was friends with some who came to my church after moving to Texas. And I can remember certain people bitching about them "not belonging here" and telling them they should move back to the lower 9th ward and stuff. But most people were pretty moved by the tragedy of it, even if they were normally like a hardcore racist or something, and accepted them anyway.
>>738511828You cannot guarantee that the theft WILL deprive the person of their life. The murder IS guaranteed. The proportionality is dependent on the gap of guaranteed deprivation between the two.Context also matters (this is why we have a judiciary at all), and stealing a Bible from a small American town under siege from, I don't know, Chinese air raids? isn't gonna cut it as justification to shoot the child. Would someone actually? Maybe. That's not what we're arguing.Also I should probably establish here that I don't recognize any natural rights like argued by Locke, because I don't believe there is a higher power that guarantees any individual any right to anything. So you are arguing to a wall if you argue on that basis.
>>738511831Then tell the other retards here because they aren't having it. They say you're evil for sending them out to certain death. Their actions justify it post hoc.>>738511836So which country are you talking about not killing kids because it seems like it's most of them.>>738511887It is when you're stealing from the only reason you're still alive. Ever hear of this thing called gratitude?
>>738499310Well they literally said they stopped playing the game.But people just want their own opinions validated. They're not comfortable being the villain and get pissy.
>>738511970And then everyone clapped.
>>738512009>It is when you're stealing from the only reason you're still alive. Ever hear of this thing called gratitude?Gratitude has absolutely nothing to do with wether her actions would have terrible second order effects or not, this is a weird non sequitor. Obviously Arabella is in the wrong, still, she didn't terror bomb 5 people and it's silly to pretend what she did is equivalent.
>>738512009You aren't entitled to someone's gratitude for aiding them. You are entitled to not help them and resent it, yes. So the druids were justified in kicking them out, at least I think that, I don't know about the other anon. But if they come on to your property with your permission and steal the shit that MAY save your life someday, you don't have the right to kill them on the basis they MAY have threatened your life someday in the future.
>>738511791>>738511794The game makes it clear that if the Tieflings are thrown out of the grove, they will get killed by the goblins. The druids know this. They are basically sending them to their deaths. The ONLY reason why they are doing this is because their old master druid got captured and the second-in-command that took control of the grove is an insane cultist who is trying to capture the grove for her extremist sect and sees the Tieflings as acceptable collateral to achieving this end. The Tieflings aren't an overbearing burden on the grove, that is bullshit she is spinning to justify a ritual that would basically deliver the grove to the Shadow Druids.Once again, the Tieflings do not want to live in the druid grove. They want to live in Baldur's Gate. They are temporarily sheltering in the druid grove to hide from the goblins. If you destroy the goblin camp (or just kill the goblin leaders), they respond by immediately leaving. This isn't some kind of immigration situation. The Tieflings don't want to fucking be there, they just don't have anywhere else to go that doesn't end in them getting slaughtered by goblins. Literally the moment the goblins aren't a threat anymore, they move the hell out the next day.
>>738511970... and then the thefts happened.>>738511980It's not just a bible. Every kid there was part of an organized crime ring to deprive the citizens that saved them of their means to survive. They were all evil. The betrayal is why they need to be punished. You steal from them after they saved you, you fucking ingrates?
>>738512009>So which country are you talking about not killing kids because it seems like it's most of them.You were saying that its justified the Americans to kill kids in Iraq and Afghanistan as a part of pursuing those wars. I'm saying that those wars weren't justified in any sense of the word, so no death of either adult or child was justified.
>>738512092that's incorrect, people who open the gates to the enemy deserve the death penalty. That's what stealing the holy idol is doing.
It's amazing how Mol's sheer existence drag down the reputation of an entire race
>>738512137They're welcome to go and kill the goblins then. But they are more willing to try and kill the ones who took them in. You know, the more I think about it, the more I'm starting to believe that it IS about real-life immigration...
>>738512137>The Tieflings aren't an overbearing burden on the groveExcept for the little thieving shits but in general I agree with you
>>738512084>>738512092Yes, you do have the right to do that. It's your territory during war. You aren't taking food out of my children's mouths to stuff your own. Get fucked and deal with the goblins yourself, fucking ingrates.
>>738512009you must realize that good/evil is a spectrumsending someone to unnecessary death is evil (but your characters don't know that it's unecessary, they never had worm-wiped brains before and probably have no experience fighting gobling hordes)sending someone to their deaths so that others can live is neutral but since it's a spectrum good-aligned peope, a majority of players (worldwide favorite aligment is chaotic good) see it as evil because your standard of 'good' is more pragmatic (lawful/chaotic neutral) than self-sacrifical (good)in technical terms you are not evil but you are MORE evil than good characters which is not inherently a bad thingThey get buttblasted because they don't understand it's not a bad thing (perfect good would work in perfect world, not on material plane) and you get buttblasted because you can't accept being branded as 'more' evil than them (despite being more good than actually evil characters).
>>738512137>The Tieflings aren't an overbearing burden on the groveExcept for the organized crime ring their children take part in and the adults overlook and probably benefit from.
>>738512225>That's what stealing the holy idol is doingNo it's not. In fact the ritual would give the grove to the shadow druids, so, the idol is opening the gate for the enemy.The tieflings, I remind you, will defend the gate tooth and nail even as the druids are deeper in the sanctuary. Not a single tiefling will open it to the goblins.Just say you want to kill children anon it's more dignified than whatever this is.
>>738512194>Every kid there was part of an organized crime ring to deprive the citizens that saved them of their means to survive.No, irresponsible kids were having a LARP that resulted in locals getting some random shit stolen. You know, the kind of thing delinquent reeducation and fines are for. Corporal punishment too, if you're that old fashioned. Execution is purely indulgent, you're pretty much harming social cohesion in your own side too because of how much violence you now admit to being open to.>You steal from them after they saved you, you fucking ingrates?This isn't a moral position, it's an emotional one. You feel slighted by an injustice, that's not a real basis for policy. Don't be ridiculous.
>>738512275I don't know what this post has to do with mine. I would normally assume you only wanted to reply to the other anon and this is just a mistake, but you have already proven yourself to be retarded so I honestly don't know.
>>738512206I'm not saying that. I'm saying that plenty of first world countries have no problem with killing kids up to this very day. I'm asking you which countries you're referring to that don't do such things.
>>738512275>Yes, you do have the right to do that.Nope.>It's your territory during war.Even that's a contested claim.>You aren't taking food out of my children's mouths to stuff your own.There were no druid children there.>Get fucked and deal with the goblins yourself, fucking ingrates.Not how society works. You can't opt out of a system you're born into, it's not a contract. You're enslaved to other human beings the moment you are born as a human, that's the way it works. You can reconsider your position once you're the last human on Earth, until then, deal with it.
>>738512425Not that anon but take the social contract and shove it up your arse.
Well there is a whole bunch of murderous whores here that will get hanged once actual civilization (notably abscent during the entire game) learns what they're doing.
Libertarians are utterly deranged, as usual
>>738512327>Not a single tiefling will open it to the goblins. Only due to self preservation, retard. If they could make a deal with goblins to spare themselves at the expense of the grove they would absolutely do it.
>>738512340>Corporal punishment too, if you're that old fashionedThe adult Tieflings specifically beat the shit out of people for doing it though. There are literally no punishment for it in their culture
>>738512252>But they are more willing to try and kill the ones who took them in.No they're not. They don't try to kill the druids, Zevlor is asking YOU to kill Kagha if there's no other way.>>738512273>>738512324Petty crime committed by a group of orphans that neither the adult Tieflings nor the druids even know about. Kagha never brings them up because she doesn't know about them and their crimes are too small and petty for the druids to even notice. The one theft they did notice wasn't even done by the orphans.
>>738512340This is war, you dumb fuck. Even the slightest misstep could cost you and everyone you love their lives. There's no cutting people slack during wartime. That's how you get fucking conquered.
>>738512467I just said it's not a contract. Contracts are opt-in, life is not. We are a social species. The meaning of our lives are entirely in relation to each other, they mean far far less on our own. You, for example, need me to define yourself right now this minute.
>>738512381Where did I say that? Stop desperately trying to shove words in my mouth.
>>738512485>They are opening the gates to the enemy!>No they are not.>Only due to self preservation!Ok? So what exactly are you doing here, saying they wanted to open the gate to the enemy?
>>738512512>the adult TieflingsThe same group that cover for the theft and punish people who tried to take back their stuff? Those people?
>>738512425What usually happens to people who have contracts with devils? Oh wait, just ask the tieflings. They know all about it.
>Kahga: Help the teiflings leave>Zevlor: assassinate kahgaBut he's such a good guy!
>>738512526>You, for example, need me to define yourselfNo I don'tSpeak for yourself.
>>738512571>The same group that cover for the theft and punish people who tried to take back their stuff? Those people?Now you're just making shit up.
>>738512512>the adult Tieflings nor the druids even know about.Yeah bro, that stall the orphans set up was so hidden and obscure. How could anyone ever find it?
>>738512585Kagha basically tells you to kill the Tieflings, but if there's a way to get them to peacefully leave that's fine too.
>>738512534Somebody fucking said after ww2 we don't do that shit anymore. If it wasn't you then you're still a dipshit who cosigned such nonsense.
>>738512523But there is no tactical value to executing Arabella, either. You spark a war with the tiefling refugees immediately, and a goblin incursion could occur right away while you're weakened. So to indulge your base sense of revenge and feel good, you've cut off half your defense power. Well done.
>>738512621No one mentions the stall in the Tiefling camp, and where it is located they would have only been scamming other Tieflings.
>>738512585Zevlor is a grey character, and he's obviously wrong about the assassination plot as it does nothing but stir the pot, the ideal solution is indeed to find Halsin before things escalateBut Kagha has to choose between mild annoyance and lack of mild annoyance while Zevlor has to choose between being gutted by the goblins or doing something drasticIt's not even remotely a comparable choice.
>>738512553That they are selfish pricks even to the people that saved their lives. You can't put your thieving on hold when dealing with the only reason you still draw breath?
>>738512604You replied to me, which is evidence of it.
>>738512697How is it possible for a single person to move goalposts so much
>>738512606Weird how mol can get your ass in hot water just by calling out to her accomplic-I mean guardians.
Why do anons always make these game theory calculations as if they're always the druids and not the tieflings?
There is that cutscene with the kid who steal people's heirloom. We know adult Tiefling reaction to corporal punishment is beating the people who are against the thief. You can just side with him though
>>738512718No it is not, it is evidence that I enjoy a discussion not that I need a discussion, unless you also believe that me buying a beer means that I need a beer to define myself.
>>738512745Because Mol is a child and the adult Tieflings are unaware of what Mol and her gang are up to.
>>738512739There are more than two people in this discussion, you absolute smoothbrain.
>>738512523Nice theorycrafting but you never went through war and killing children for stealing your cookie might save you some calories and allow you to live a day longer but it might not be so good idea when it's family and friends who could be your allies come with pitchforks and roast your ass for dinner while you scream their little shit deserved it. The lines between good and bad decisions blur instantly during shit times like war, don't presume you have any idea what is the right choice in war from safe space of the internet.
>>738512672But telling them to leave also sparks a war. Seems like you need to appease the tieflings or they decide to cut your heads off. They're such a great race of people.
>>738512812They're trying to survive.
>>738512791Even when the adults are aware the children have been stealing, they will still side against non Tieflings though
>>738512787That you want a discussion at all, or that it fills your needs in any way, is linked to the same reason why you are not allowed to opt out of society the moment you are born. Again, I'm not a westerner, so maybe there is something fundamental to how you were raised that is different, but what you are saying is completely alien to me.
>>738512808Then read the reply chain before replying with stuff not pertinent to the argument being made, you troglodyte
>>738512791>the adult Tieflings are unaware of what Mol and her gang are up to.Bull fucking shit. Nice head canon, retard. Like your PC wouldn't have told them you're just trying to get your money back?
>>738512843What are you talking about?
>>738512880Provide proof in the game that the adult tieflings know about the children's thieving.
>>738512812The culture of a people isn't the matter on hand here, it's the fact that you're trying to justify disproportionate violence for circumstances that don't justify it, or have any real strategic value. You can just say "I wanna kill that filthy horned brat because it feels good, how dare she steal from my people", but you have to accept all this other reasoning is bullshit smoke and mirrors.
>>738512889That locket quest or something. I don't quite remember. It's bullshit is what it is
>>738512869No. No barrier to entry on this site means I can do whatever I want in this discussion, whenever I want.
>>738512809So you need to pay tribute to the tieflings or else they'll kill you. Sounds real good.>>738512841They're tyrants taking advantage of the druids' hospitality through intimidation and underhanded tactics. They are almost worse than the goblins.
>>738512858You are using the broadest possible definition of a "need" to justify the most narrow interpretation of it. Basically, admitting that I have the same need to reply as to drink beer: a superficial, easy to ignore need.If I fell asleep 2 hours ago and didn't have this discussion, I would wake up without an issue when defining myself.But since what you actually meant is a more general "men are social animals that live by comparison and interaction with each other", then sure, but that doesn't prove your prior argument as Kagha doesn't want to kick all people from the grove but herself, she only wants to kick out a subset of people. She wouldn't lose druid society.Mind you I still believe she is in the wrong, but your obvious argument about people and society goes nowhere.
>>738512950In the locket confrontation, the dude can smack the kid for stealing his locket and its fine. I think a guard gets offended that you would strike a child or approve of it, but you don't get into a fight with the tieflings unless your idea of punishment for theft is actually attacking the child with deadly force.
>>738512981The tieflings are not a they for some of us, I played as a tiefling and helped them through everything, so maybe consider that when we're discussing this?
>>738512927You going there to get your money back. Or would it be natural to assume a group of adults would be trying to shake down a bunch of orphans?
>>738512932It's not, you fucking retard. When you're in the middle of war and you take in refugees and they immediately resort to criminality, your only solution is to remove them completely. You'd be a moron not to.
>>738512843Even your people are stealing. Will you become race traitor because of that? Every single racial group on planet, hell not even racial, tribal suffices. Have some thieves, smugglers and similiars elements in it. Kicking out negores because they steal more on average? Sure. But would you ally yourself with others just because some of your people steal? No. So why would you expect it from others?
>>738512981You sound like a lunatic who wants to kill people. They're trying to survive and you would do exactly the same in their stead.
>>738513034>think a guard gets offended that you would strike a child or approve of it, but you don't get into a fight with the tieflings unless your idea of punishment for theft is actually attacking the child with deadly force.They don't dare to beat you but they beat the shit out of the guy if they have the chance so it's no wonder why the thieves get so much leeway
>>738513045No, I won't. You can get thrown out on your ass with the rest of your shitty race.
>>738513104>Punishment for theft is race traitor behaviour I'm done
>>738513127I absolutely would not steal from someone who saved my life. Only the lowest of the low would do such a thing. Actually try to be useful instead of intimidating your saviors into doing what you want.
>>738513023I'm not trying for a rational debate according to fallacy free models here anon. I'm trying to shit on the other anon for being a libertarian. I don't believe in libertarianism and I don't respect its value statements, and I say that all living sapients upon birth have an obligation by social reality to cooperate. Even the goblins themselves are not essentially inhuman monsters, just immoral - there would exist circumstances where druids, tieflings, and goblins wound cooperate against some greater threat. But the world was the way it was when the protag walked into the Grove, and on that scenario alone, I would still say Kagha was not justified in killing Arabella for the theft.I don't actually care if my point about society not being optional holds up the whole way. That's not how I was raised to argue. It is an very Western, very Anglo way of thinking, based on rationalism, which I don't care for.
>>738513098When you interact with any group at any time you have those elements in it as it is part of human nature. If your bumfuck village/city or whatever shithole you live in got bombed and survivors got put into shelters there's 100% chance it would contain some thieves. Would you like to get killed/kicked out despite not being thief yourself and having no way to prevent criminal activities of your group completely? By your logic you'd have to say it's justified to kill you because some of your people are shit, but you won't say it because you're believe special.
>>738513270>I don't care for rationalityNo shit. No wonder you're too stupid to be a libertarian.
>>738513098>your only solutionPlenty of more solutions when the perpetretors are children and the crimes are that petty, again, just lash them a bit>You'd be a moron not toWant to go the pragmatist route? Fine>kick the tieflings out>goblins kill some, capture the others>under torture some eventually reveal the location of the grove>You either get fucked by the goblins or the shadow druids, either way you have doomed the groveGreat idea! And this is if the tieflings accept their destiny and just go die, the other option is that you risk the life of your druids over some 10 year old running scams as it turns into a bloodbath.You are not doing the "only solution" and you are not being smart about it eitherYou just want to kill kids, just say it how it is, this position cannot be defended. You have tricked yourself into believing edginess=smartWhen it is in fact not smart.
>>738513308Sure it's not justified to kill an entire race. But there is zero punishment for the criminal behaviours going on is exactly why your race's reputation gets worse. If you can't even police yourself, how do you expect other to see you. And the game refused to address that
>>738513163I meant that if self interest is equally justified, and we do away with unity between tribes, then I'm justified to helping my people first. Property is not a right. So yes, I would kill for your food and land, all barbarian-like. But we cooperate to achieve a higher form of living above that, and if you're gonna annul that and execute a kid just because she stole an idol of your god, then sure, I would say it's justified to start attacking you preemptively in case you want to wipe out more of my people.
>>738513308Those groups all know it's happening and keep their mouths shut instead of policing their own because they benefit from it as well. They feign plausible deniability but they all know what is happening so they're all equally culpable. I wouldn't align myself with thieves. This isn't some giant group of tieflings we're talking about. They could easily police their own but they don't.
>>738513363The goblins already know where it is, you retard. Because the tieflings already led them there. Were you dropped on your head?
>>738512571You're distracting from the fact that the druids don't even know about the child thieves and the one theft they DO care about had basically nothing to do with them. Kagha is not kicking the Tieflings out because of thefts. Kagha is kicking the Tieflings out through a bogus story that the Tieflings are somehow making the grove unsafe by attracting goblin raiders as a justification to perform a ritual that would isolate the grove forever because Kagha is a SHADOW DRUID and wants to deliver the grove to the SHADOW DRUIDS.
>>738513401If the druids felt the same you would be goblin-food, you ungrateful prick. They took it upon themselves to help you and you repay them by stealing their shit?
DESU I wasn't surprised when the Tiefling kid sell her souls and probably a few other things. It's just expected showing of what Tieflings have been since Act 2
>>738513420Sure, its call hedging our bets. If you're not guaranteed to give us aid, we might as well take off with half your food in case we starve later. We could have cooperated and fought off the goblins together, but hey ho. See? No more talking about rights and culture. It's just self interest, justified both ways, the world you want.
>>738513270For starters, your belief that libertarianism is against cooperation is completely incorrectLibertarians argue libertarianism works BECAUSE of the human tendency to cooperate, that's PRECISELY what makes libertarians libertarians, as they believe the free market the greatest method of cooperation of mankind, and that mankind can cooperate voluntarily (which is correct as cooperation between humans precedes taxes and the state)>an obligation by social reality Cooperate with whom? Obviously if someone wants to rape you, you do not want to cooperate, right? So we need to draw a clear distinction to when and where this obligation is valid and when it is not? What about if he needs children and wants to fuck your wife? No, that can't be.Ok, what if he needs food? But there is only a loaf of bread and you have a family to feed. Do you kill your own family to save a stranger? No, of course you don't, even the social contract considers priorities to oneself and one's family superior to strangers.See the issue? "the social reality" is meaningless. It can mean whatever the fuck I want it to mean. I claim the social reality is that you need to suck my cock, so kneel and suck my cock!
>>738513520I also could have killed you right away, since you threatened to point weapons at my kin at all just for being in bad fortune to not have homes. Tribe versus tribe. That the way you want it?
>>738513532What is the self interest exhibited by the druids when they took you faggots in? It was an act of kindness you repay with criminality and bloodshed if you don't get your way. They should've left you to fend for yourselves like the faggots you are.
>>738495251Nice opinion. Did your favorite influencer give it to you?
>>738513474>The goblins already know where it isNo they don't, all those goblins got killed when you arrive, you fucking retardThe goblins and minthara have no idea where it is because the goblins that got there got killed, you have to tell Minthara the location for her to attack.> Because the tieflings already led them thereDouble wrong, it was the human zoomer and his gang (who hate tieflings) who led them there, which makes Zevlor very mad and even spawned a meme>Were you dropped on your head?Ironic, considering you don't even remember one of the first fucking scenes in the game and managed to be wrong two times in two sentences. You are embarrassing, just shut the fuck up.
>>738513382Good luck policing a large group of people with poor background and shitty survival conditions without any real police force. The point is even if YOUR group would be exposed to the same conditions it would behave exactly the same and if part of you group would be band of thieving orphans living in sewers your group, that tries to survive on daily basis, wouldn't certainly have time prowling severs and hunting for kids stealing trinkets. And then it would be kicked out, including you, and massacred out in open.I don't advocate for 'spread your anus to migrants' EU-tier policies and it would be understandable if a druid or two turned into rats and hunted kids in sewers/caves themselves and put them to some useful work but you can't expect everyone in a group of individuals who are trying to survive to uphold a moral standards for entire group.
>>738513495I was addressing the whole responsible Adult Tieflings sentiment. The Druids are heading towards spiritual evil. But pretending adult Tieflings are good or responsible is retarded because they ain't. They know about the shit going on and act as if it is natural and will even go out of their way to cover for it. You are looking at the bigger picture sure, but not everything you believe is correct. Because they just blatantly ain't
>>738513606How could you? The gates were shut, retard. The druids opened them, and their hearts, to you and were repaid with betrayal.
>>738513643Nta but it's not hard to find and punish MolThat's an entirely fixable problem that only doesn't get fixed because Mol doesn't have parents and so nobody really gives a fuck
>>738513420>I wouldn't align myself with thieves.That's the point you dummy, you wouldn't get the choice. 'He came with them, he's part of them, he has to go, just like them.' is the entire premise of kicking out the tieflings, not just the orphans.
>>738513540Yeah, my point isn't about cooperation. I would coerce you just as fine. Society is an obligation, coercion is a part of the necessity. That's where libertarianism fails for me, I don't recognize natural rights, I would stomp all over them if I were a warlord, so I recognize the value of the state in preventing those like me from oppressing me.
>>738513680Deception is a legitimate survival tactic.
>>738513745>I would stomp all over themThat's not a refutation of natural rights, that's a refutation of you as a moral personNatural rights are not a force shield, yes, you can behave as a baboon and violate them, natural rights is how things OUGHT to be. >And how are they to be enforced?Privately. But you don't need to go that far, you can be a minarchist and have a minimal state who enforces natural rights, if you REALLY want to feel safe abou it
>>738512227
>>738513606>>738513745>thirdie fundamentally cannot tell why tieflings are evil>sides with them 100% just because tieflings are "their people"pottery
>>738513720It's not hard for you as MC character, others obviously didn't know where the fuck are orphans hiding.
>>738513840Morality is subjective, not absolute. It's dependent on societal context, and mainly what needs to be done to maintain cohesion, legitimacy, and belief in a better tomorrow. Both the druids and tieflings had their own contexts and acted according to them, but there are actions which would be un-virtuous even in their circumstances. For the tieflings it would be striking first, for the druids it would be exactly that, executing their children while they're vulnerable instead of expelling them.In fact the theft was very solid justification to expel them alone, killing is where it crosses the line MORALLY - but again, as I state, Arabella does not have the actual "right" to not be killed, as this is only agreed upon by society.
>>738513831>>738514006>deception is good>virtue is arbitraryChinese?
>>738513883It's not a standard I want to live in, but it's a standard I'm willing to resort to. Yes, you should handshake and do deals with me even if I would rob and murder and sell you out in my head, because I don't do it. If you think that sounds weird then your morality is Christian and western and I don't recognise it.>>738514042Not a mainlander, but yes.
>>738514006>Morality is subjective>What needs to be doneThis contraddiction alone is enough to refute all moral relativismYou don't get to tell others what needs to be done or what should be done, because you have assumed the position that everything is equally correct. >but there are actions which would be un-virtuous even in their circumstancesImpossible, if no objective morality exist, nothing can be un virtuous, except as a subjective personal opinion. See the issue with taking a non position as your moral foundation?
>>738514095>subjective personal opinionThat's all morality. It's dependent on context and who is speaking. >what needs to be done or what should be doneis based on who you are and what is going on. There are no divine laws saying what should be done regarding what, we have to work it out through the ages through study and cultural evolution, not because there are absolute universal rules guided by anything. There is no moral universalism.
