They will finally move on from BG and Icewind Dale? BG2 is my favourite game of all genres and eras but still I eventually got my fill of it after finishing the original 4-5 times and playing through the enhanced edition with mods once more.

I mean, jesus fucking christ, no more bullshit DLC for that, goddamnit. Do something new for once fags, instead of injecting gay and trans characters to push an agenda. That orc evil warrior they added to BG2 wanted to assfuck my mage character, I mean what in the actual fuck Laughing

It was like the Bull situation from DA2 : Electric Boogaloo edition

An orc who wants to fuck you isn't really problematic, the universe in which the BG games took place is more progressive than our own when it comes to sexuality. People in it don't care who or what you fuck. Or how many of those you fuck at once or per month.

The issue with Dragonspear was really that one trans character. The issue is that it wasn't written as a transsexual character in the Forgotten Realms. It was written as a transsexual character in the real world. This isn't good writing, it's injecting politics from our world into the Forgotten Realms world. A trans character can work in the Forgotten Realms, but it should be written the way it would exist in their world, not ours.

And that's ultimately why that character was such a boneheaded move.

1. Human is now White Male Misoginist Racist if white, Oppressed Minority if other color.
Dwarf: Vertically Challenged
Gnome: Even More Vertically Challenged
Elf: Fatphobia Supporter
Half-Orc: Feminist Liberator

2. There are 578 genders to choose from. CISscummale is hidden by default, but you can play as Sexually Attracted to Cybertronians Fluid Butterfly.

3. Playing as white human scummale you get a +100 to THaC0, because white priviledge.

Spot-on Bendi. The most problematic character is certainly the Feminist Liberator, a heroic pale half orcknight of humble origins and weak in willpower points, being forced to listen to the bewitching whinging of his rescuees for the eternity.

Legend tells that if you get ahold of Mizhena's leather scrotum holder, such echoes can still be heard to this very day. "We aren't damsels in distress, we are strong and independent women who don't need no orc!"

The last boss of the game is a giant eye atop a tall tower, clearly representing a man's desire to compensate for his tiny penis. That giant eye is named "The Male Gaze".

I'm slightly optimistic, I think they did learn their lesson with Dragonspear. Amber Scott no longer works there, neither does some other beta white guy Wink

And it was fun to play BG again, even if it felt like a more polished mod rather than an expansion.

Well after playing through BG2 many times this was the first time I was like "wtf" and was instantly taken out of the game and got reminded that the year was 2015 and agenda is being pushed down my throat.

So I don't know much about the universe but I know about the game, my most favourite game of all time. And got taken right out of it by the character they added.

Isnt there a mod to straighten out this crap?


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

From what I understand, the credits of Dragonspear lists two people: Amber Scott and Andrey Foley. Both of them aren't working at Overhaul Games/Beamdog anymore.
"Additional Writing" lists Liam Esler, self-described 'Diversity advocate'. He lists himself as formerly working for both Beamdog and Obsidian, so once again not with them anymore.
This might be seen as very good news by most people.


They DID hire David Gaider, which will likely be met with a mixed response.
On one hand, he worked as a designer on BG2, worked on KoToR (HK-47 and Carth), wrote NWN: Hordes of the Underdark and was the lead writer of Dragon Age: Origins. He also wrote some of the companions (like Alistair and Morrigan).
If this is the David Gaider we get, we'll be quite happy.

But he also wrote Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition. What will probably create some apprehension for people is that the next game by Beamdog will be written by a married gay man who worked on games with gay romances in the past.
All things considered, I'd MUCH rather see him write a new RPG than the duo of Amber Scott and Andrey Foley.

And in the unlikely scenario that anyone here signed up, they might have already seen a NDA being sent. So there's the possibility, as unlikely as this would be, of humpers playing this game in the near future.

Edit: Forgot, he was also the creator of the Ascension mod for BG2.

I believe there will be no problems with gay or trans characters if they're written by competent writers. There was no controversy about Krem from DA:I, was there? And they did tone down that "absolutely everyone wants to polish your hawkepole/hawkecherry" from DA2.

Amber Scott pushed her moronic narrative in a world, where you're a belt away from actually changing your gender and no one cares if you fuck a dragon, demon or celestial for gods sakes. And religion has no time for gay bashing, if you can go to one of the actual Hells for being a douchenozzle murderer, or even worse: an atheist.

For me, the best + worst part of "everyone wants to fuck you" remains DA:O.

There are multiple threesome options (2 man + woman, 2 women + man, 2 women + man again) but also foursome options for both genders.
As both man or woman, you can have a foursome with You + Zevran + Leliana + Isabela.
Hey, if you're a warden bound to fight an Archdemon, might as well get real weird with it before you die. Laughing

I remember hitting dialog in DA:O and distinctly thinking 'damn i think this elf wants to fuck me, better lift my game and not pick the wrong options here'.

I killed Zevran in my first playthrough, I saw I had the choice and wanted to test the game and see if I could actually kill this important-looking character. Well, you can Laughing

In the next playthroughs I kept him, he is a good character and a useful party member. And his quests are interesting.

Its an Enhanced Edition for PC and Mobile. They might be picking you to test mobile since they tested Steam first.
Edit: I'm referring to the current beta test, not their own future game.
