he shows 10 minutes of woke shit from the game, he dedicated a whole section of it in the video, so yes, he's not a fan of the wokeh there's more to woke than "same gender sex" i would argue and the game seems to have a lot of it (but i'm only going from what i've heard and seen clips of).
if i show no romance interest and my "bro" still wants to fuck me up the ass i think its a bit much, personally.
THIS GAME IS NOT CHRISTIAN
I HATE THE ANTI CHRIST

Pretty sure some of these bitching about the gay stuff got a little gay themselves in dialogue.
I only have Astarion
Spoiler:
Since I cut gale's hand
and he only hinted at something once and I shut it down, now he acts more like a friend or acquaintance with zero gae.
Yeah, Astarion is my 'dark urges' bro now, ever since I told him to find something else to screw. Gale looked a bit funny at me once, but I didn't respond to the advances, so we're good too.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the scene with Shadowheart
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

Out of these, #3 good ending for Karlach - is by far the most important thing they should patch in. Followed by fixing story arcs and in-game references that lost coherence and suffered from the cuts the most: #6 Raphael and tadpole, #9 Omeluum's Ring, #26 Mol and Raphael, #22 Tadpole's and Consequences.
Shit, I shouldn't have read some of these But man, if they do a definitive edition with the cut content back in, I might actually go for (what the pace in my current game looks like), another 120 hour run

Is Ansur bugged, or does he not fight back for some reason? Only his elementals attacked
I felt like *that* would be *the* fight, like optional dragons in Baldur's Gate / Pillars of Eternity / Dragon Age etc. Nope. Just stood there and got hacked to death. Reward = best sword I've come across in the game so far
Edit: Watching a video of the fight, it seems mine was bugged
The cinematic part before you fight the brain just keeps looping, where you meet all your allies. As soon as it ends, it starts again when you walk out the door. Fucking hell
Edit: I see now, it's if you go out the door you came in, then back in again. They didn't disable the trigger after the first time
Once I start summoning a fair few allies to the field, it does this and chokes. Then nobody takes their turn. It's been like this for 5-10 mins now and just keeps mini freezing. Can't save or load.
Well, now that they've been Larian'd, hopefully people will start being sensible when you point out flaws instead of going all, "AAA games should learn from this". It's still a classic Larian with a drop off at the 2nd half of the game. Hell, the big decision you do in siding with the grove or the camp in act 1 doesn't really matter story wise because you're still locked into a path in act 2.
One of the most interesting facts... according to achievements, only 31% of people have left Act I on Steam. Yet it has 144k overwhelmingly positive reviews in the past 30 days (205k overall). I'm not saying it doesn't deserve that, but it's evident that people are getting carried away with the hype. All of those reviews and only 15% have even made it to Act III, let alone the end of the game.
I just beat it after 116hrs. Didn't eat any tadpoles (apart from once, to see what they do, then reloaded), didn't transform to illithid and did it on tactician.
Act III, for me, is up there with the likes of Cyberpunk when it comes to broken shit. Act I and II are the Mona Lisa compared to the finger painting that is Act III. Had to leave multiple broken quests unfinished.
Anyway, well worth the money if you can stomach broken jank.
When the Enhanced Miracle Edition arrives, I'm going to do it again as the most evil, vile bastard possible. I'm going to eat every fucking tadpole and have brain tentacles coming out of every crevice of my body. I'll make new crevices too. Just a pure fucking octopus laden cthulu tentacle fest.
I'm one of those. Dropped off after 8 hours, never left act 1 (oh wait not exactly one of those, I didn't rate it on steam)
I didn't vibe with the characters or the world, and then the party members were so horny all the time, it killed all immersion for me and I lost interest.
I liked the freedom it offered in a lot of situations but I need characters I like hanging out with for a long RPG.
I'll probably give it another go at some point but right now I'm not feelin it.

It's a good game, the relationship stuff hits parody levels at the mid-point. I have to think Larian is taking the piss when seemingly out of absolutely nowhere, you make camp, rest:
Haven't rated, but i'm sure i'll enjoy this game. I'll just enjoy it further in the future when most bugs are squashed
You might not.
Spoiler:
Everyone is out to fuck you, including a certain asexual mindflayer, there's pro-refugee propaganda (though you can oppress them if you wish, you're not forced to help ) and most good, loving couples are homosexual (and the cutscenes with them are part of the main quest, so very hard to avoid)
There's also a lot of broken heterosexual couples, and the good ones are a minority.
I'm neutral on this stuff and even I was facepalming by act 3.
Spoiler:
Seems the Second Sundering unleashed a gay plague on Toril.
I also haven't heard or seen NPCs talking about their sex change, or female NPC with male voice talking, etc. There are much worse examples of games than this (hogwarts legacy).
Many people seem to forget that you can play as male OR female, and the game doesn't put limits on your options in the game, depending on the gender you selected.

You don't seem to be able to 'see' or 'hear' many things, friend.
Body 1 / Body 2 / Bo...
Are you feckin' kidding me?!
It's there... AT THE VERY START, making a stand, delivering a message, point a hint, telling a sign, adhering to certain principles... it's the 'name', 'identity' and 'title' of this whole story...
Yeah, I noticed that, obviously But because the game offers separate choice for your genitals, it made sense to me to not name the body type 'male' or 'female'.
Maybe I'm already a lost cause to the woke machine or maybe I can relativate some things a bit better.

I know I'm sounding like an apologist for this game, if you read through these last pages. But I honestly think it isn't as bad as it's made out ànd there are more jarring examples of other recent games, like the trans bartender in Hogwarts Legacy.
People who'd play a female character, wouldn't complain about gay gale, for example, but they'd have to deal with Lae'zel. It's the nature of open RPGs, that have a combination of character creation and romance options.
Witcher doesn't have gay Geralt, because you play as Geralt, an established character.
Mass Effect is a different type of RPG, because you can play as male or female Shephard, and the game doesn't lock you out of romance options depending on gender. Same in BG3.
It's about choice and options. Just because you can be the gayest wizard on the coast, doesn't mean you have to. It's the foundation of role playing
But if it were up to me, I would have just left out romance/sex completely. It's almost always corny and juvenile, not matter what.
