My only complaint is how horny everyone is. I act nice to people and they wanna jump on my dick. Literally had a mind flayer try to smash my pelvis and I’m like DUDE MELLOW OUT
To be fair it almost feels like a homage to early bioware. I remember a few bioware games that had this issue. I remember the forums being full of complaints about surprise romances in mass effect or dragon age.
I do think the issue is more prevalent I'm BG3 though.
It's made worse by Larians decision to absolutely juice the approval gains when going from Early Access to Full Release, apparently. Makes everything move way too fast and really exacerbates the issue.
Absolutely agreed. I asked one person if they wanted to share a drink at a celebration (that's just social decorum, right?) and have done no flirting before or after that and now that person talks to me like they've been in love with me their whole life.
And I get the idea that you want to let everyone sleep with their favorite NPC regardless of who they're playing as but it just feels weird to me that everyone is so both pansexual and horny. It makes me feel like nobody has any preferences and just falls in love with you because you're the main character.
And in general it also lessens the sense of camaraderie a bit for me when it comes down to sex so much. I wish some companions had other interests and had no desire to get in your pants.
Finally I get some representation in a game!
You not gonna complain about "woke" ???
/s
Is there even a point to the romance? It doesn’t seem to have an actual effect on the story, so far.
I can't say anything about the ending but as of the end of Act 2 at least one romance can have an influence on the main story.
You could say that of real life too...
No? 😂
We are this close of having a proper RPG that's also a proper AVN.
I fucking love it, it's great
