You're not one of those degenerates who think it's cool to make a lore-unfriendly/out-of-franchise character with a lore-unfriendly name when playing a game with character creation, are you?

Weebs are typically the worst offenders in this regard whenever they accidentally branch out from playing their designated weeb games, and have to turn every single MC they play into one of their favorite anime characters. Next up are self-insert fags, followed by literal children who believe playing as "MechaWorldDestroyer1488" who came through a multiverse portal to pwn everything in the game's planet is really cool.

You see this a lot, some retard going "what's a good build to be Goku" or some shit. It's sad enough not having the creativity to make your own character, but far worse is not even being able to build it yourself.
>>
>>4001217
I just try to make the most intimidating, demonic character I can. Like in Oblivion/Skyrim I would play with the sliders to make a pure black skin orc with red hair. 99% of games come down to killing thousands of people so I think it fits. I like orcs, I always play them when I can and I think it's more interesting than lore friendly bearded human guy with mid-length brown/black hair.

I do end up only doing the "good" choices in games that offer it, though. So I guess it looks "silly" with my character, but I don't give a shit. He was born looking like that, he can't help it.

not rly an RPG desu, but my first dork souls character ever was named jamal thompson, spurred on by the fact that i burst out laughing the moment i saw how fucking generic jigaboo the default "jubilant catarina" face on character creation looked. japs drawing or in this case, rendering blacks will never not be funny to me.
iirc he was a DEX build and used one of the katanas. mightve been the washing pole but idk if i knew to kill that merchant yet, so it was prolly the iaito. i also unironically upgraded the starting wanderer armor, because i thought it fit with the "generic edgy black weeb" shtick

The only clever thing Larian has ever done was prompting you to create your dream waifu during character creation and then the fucking retards removed it because “everyone knew the twist already” in favor of a totally-not-telegraphed-or-obvious gay squid. It’s like a shaggy dog joke or something.

this is wrong. the default human was a black female. they were mad that people changed it to a "generic" white dude, thus proving the argument, predating this incident, that people just click through on defaults wrong.

Realistically speaking, it's "as good as" Baldur's Gate 2 when you consider the pluses & minuses

- worse D&D edition
- less fun, less OP classes, less OP loot

the really funny thing about the larian post is it shows they don't understand how analytics work.

i have no autism and a fairly high IQ. why are you making this about me? trust me, i'm way ahead of you and the reason, the subtext, for the mockery is the actual funny part, it's why that community manager who wrote that blurb is themselves a joke.
i know though, being used to this game, that you are simply afraid to expose your thinking though. which is weird, because this is anonymous and no one really cares, you can't "win" or "lose" here.

i'd say it's more like spending a long time writing a faction and a hook for a tabletop game, thinking it very interesting, and then your players want to go explore a random forest that sparks their imagination instead. the resentment of the fool who can't predict seeps out, instead of reflection on the failure to understand your players.

This is pretty spot on. You can definitely feel the resentment from Larian that players would rather create their own characters in an RPG rather than use their canned donut steel OC origin characters. This also shows in how they hindered the ability to create a fully custom party, compared to DOS2 (nerfing the “generic” mercenaries to have specific predefined race/class combinations instead of à la carte, and even giving them stupid backstory blurbs). There’s still the “launch the game four times” multiplayer workaround, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Larian removes that for their next game. The contempt for the players is real and palpable (look at how they lied about the cut content in BG3), and there’s always the saltiness just beneath the surface from leftoids about white males wanting to play as a white male.

There's that one pretty half-elf face so that's all I need.
Too bad I can't have it with longer pure elf ears, but at least they are pointy.

I liked Dragon Age Inquisition and Veilguard generators, but they take time and most people produce really distasteful product (then agian those peeps will download mod faces and do the sme in BG3).
Yeah, Veilguard should allow bigger tits also where is my menu to select a proper bush, but all in all, sad to see the game kinda fizzle. I wish they sublicensed the generator to Epic to provide it as part of UE6 or something.
>>
>>4002086
>What's the % chance you're simply projecting?
What’s the percentage chance that you bothered to read that post, think about what it was saying and why, and ask yourself if the subjective opinions espoused in said post are logically consistent with and supported by the public statements and actions by Larian, as opposed to simply shutting your brain off and assuming that “they’re saying something I don’t like so they must be bad and wrong”? I’d wager close to 100.

This is unironically the attitude of nu-Larian, though. Increasingly contemptuous of making your own character and own custom party. Don’t you realize how hard they worked on their donut steel origin cast??
>>
>>4002383
projecting, dude

If it was as you think, they wouldn't make the mad lizard fucko origin appearance-changable, and they would they fix the issue where playing as origins ruins their impact because you don't get the voice acing and cutscenes.
>>
>>4002383
larian puts 0 effort into their characters tho, take shadowheart for example

clerics of shar are required to ritually sacrifice people to shar for spell access every so often. this never comes up despite the game spanning a decent chunk of time because they don't really want a character that is a cleric of shar.

The fact is that when you work on something an people ignore it, it makes it feel like wasted effort. So, resentment forms. That blog post was indicative of this. Now, do you have anything of substance to add other than "nuh uh"? It's fine to ignore a post that you don't like and can't argue against.

I love that even through the deceit of this transsexual poster, you can still make out the implication that the devs made the default human black to ensure that players have to go through the character creation screen.
>>4001774
For me, I can't become invested in a game where every other minute a character quips or swears like a bull dyke in a way highly inappropriate for the setting. There is a matter of my preference but it's also objectively inconsistent for most of the characters, unless the writing is shit- which it is.

Probably the context mattered at the time, bg3 came on the tail end of the most massive dei get rid of white people push in gaming history, things like the hysterical robot cripple girl in bf6 and the devs having something like 'fuck you playerbase' on their official wrap party merch, last of us 2: queer patricide edition etc.

It's not the fault of gamers leftist devs couldn't read the room.
>>
>>4003308
We had a shill here around release who claimed that the reason the default human was a black woman +2 ESG points barbarian with the lowest possible INT score -1 ESG point was that it wasn’t really the default, it was randomly selected, and would be different each time. Just obvious lies that anyone can disprove in two seconds of playing.
