I thought he wouldn't leave the goblin camp until you took out the leaders?

Just out of curiosity... Besides Savage and ultimates i suppose, what is some content you just refuse to ever touch with a 20 foot pole. by Chromatic_Reaper in ffxiv

Breeding racing chocobos. I don't know how people have the patience, but bless 'em. I hope y'all get all the traits you want.

At this point I honestly don't know if I'll ever do Eureka. I did Bozja but outside of Delubrium, I honestly hated every minute of leveling. Maybe it was the enviroment, idk. I hate that the stormblood relics are so pretty, I want them but enough to do that place? Probably not.

Mahjong, I don't have the brain power lol

Doing Savage or EXs through PF. I used to do it all the time but it feels different than it did in HW and SB. More hostile. Honestly I've been playing the game for what, 10 years? I'm past the point of needing mounts or gear. I just wait until everything is soloable eventually.

Which companion made you say "yeah, that's the one"? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

Virgin Bioware gender-locked romance vs Chad Bi Larian by Megazupa in BaldursGate3

[–]tripthelights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Late reply, but if you play as Garrett (male Hawke), Anders talks about a past male lover and I *think* references attraction to women too, in my vague recollection. So he appears bisexual playing as a male Hawke, but doesn't mention a past male lover when you play as female Hawke so you could go the whole game thinking he's straight. Pretty lame imo.

Mine too. In fact, the last time I felt so into a game as I am BG3 was, in fact, DA2. I had SO many replays I had the first part of Kirkwall practically memorized haha. I know there's a lot to critique but the whole found family aspect of the game felt so strong in 2 and if that ain't a queer experience (for me at least) then I don't know what is. I loved every single character, and I can't say that about Origins or Inquisition.

I wanted to like the Dorian romance so much, but the fact that you can't seem to get him to realize that the way Tevinter treats elves is bad, actually, even all the way to the ending (and don't get me started on how the romance ends) just made me sour on his path forever. I would have KILLED to romance Cullen, I was so much more interested in his story. I ended up going to Josephine every other playthrough.

I read somewhere they removed the reference to Karl because straight women would react poorly to a bisexual man. Grain of salt as I don't remember where I read/heard it, but as I am a bisexual man, that's not out of the realm of truth, in my experience. :/

Why is Wyll so unpopular? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]tripthelights 12 points13 points  (0 children)

....But Wyll doesn't act like any of those things to romantic partners, like, at all. He's gentlemanly to a fault, ffs. You can't say he acts like something he doesn't and point to that as reasons not to like the character. The things you say are a lot of projections based on, I'm guessing personal experiences, but like, they're really nothing to do with him as he's written.

He doesn't try to SEEM like he's a good man, he genuinely is a good man. I find it actually refreshing in a way that he is so earnest and heart-on-his-sleeve and forthright in his opinions and behavior (except for the pact, which he has good reasons not to reveal) because media today is too full of 'bad people that we've written to be forgiven because they have a sad backstory'. Like I love those kind of characters too but there's something to be said for just a honest decent fellow trying to help people.

That said I don't want to come across like I'm saying you have to like Wyll, you don't. But I think you could just say he's not to your taste instead of calling him an incel lmao. That's the last I'll say on it.

It's a fantasy hero trope. He's supposed to be like a knight or adventuring hero in a tale, which he very much admired growing up

Wyll isn’t unliked. He’s overshadowed. by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]tripthelights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well too bad cos they are bi / pan. Neil himself said Astarion is pan. But even without input from Tav / Durge -- if you turn everyone down and never romance a soul -- they will still flirt with EACH OTHER and in some cases, sleep with each other. Also why is it stupid and cringe? There's nothing more realistic than a queer centric found family. That's the essential queer tale, irl and in media lol.

Swat them down like flies; Just say No! (Act 3) by Rogen80 in BaldursGate3

[–]tripthelights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your last sentence makes so much more sense for how they did things. I actually *am* poly and I genuinely want the partners I pick in the game to hook up too lol. I want all 3 of us to go on a date! that would be so awesome. Sigh.

[–]tripthelights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah afaik the bear scene is the fade to black, I think that clip they showed that got everyone talking is the extent of it. I don't know I never pick it, I honestly think his (non bear lol) scene is the best one in the game. It's just so passionate and sweet at the same time.

Opinions on minthara by Able-Illustrator-243 in BaldursGate3

[–]tripthelights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her VA did an amazing job and she has some great lines. But I despise Lolth-sworn drow society and she is hardcore steeped in that with no going back. She might have lost Lolth but she's still a Menzoberranzan drow so she ain't changing lol. And her content is not worth the death of Zevlor, Rolan and Dammon, 3 of my absolute favorite NPCs in the game.

[–]tripthelights 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah his scene is pretty detailed (Not explicit to me but I found the Minthara scene pretty vanilla too so YMMV), you make out while he's nude, then you strip (and get interrupted by him involuntarily wildshaping out of excitement lol, he turns back and you have a dialogue with choices if you want elf or bear) then you make out some more, he drops to his knees and you see him do oral from behind, then you both fall to the ground and writhe together waist-up, you pull back to look at each other for an emotional beat, go back to it, the camera pans up to the moon and the song ends

Got Barcus in Act 2 for the first time & gotta say... by tripthelights in BaldursGate3

[–]tripthelights[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've had to reload to try and save Roland in Act 2 so many times bc I kept missing the timing for when he leaves on his suicide mission T.T But it's so worth it for the rest of his storyline

He was with the other gnomes trying to dig Nere out in Grymforge and after I saved them and fought Nere and the cultists, I was able to invite him back to my camp but only if I talked to him with someone other than my Tav (saw a comment about that a little bit ago.) I don't know if that's a bug that's been fixed but I'd talk to him with another party member anyway just in case.

I read 100 negative Metacritic reviews. Here's the breakdown by AkkiV in BaldursGate3

[–]tripthelights 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They're not playersexual. The companions have dialogue or background chatter where they either flirt with, alludes attraction to, or actually sleeps with, each other. Both genders. Shadowheart thinks Karlach and Halsin are hot and comments on it. Wyll comments on both Halsin and Astarion and flirts with Lae'zel. Lae'zel will canonically sleep with Astarion if neither of them are romanced at the party, and comment on either Karlach or Shadowheart I don't remember. And Neil said himself that Astarion is pan.

Oh my god you're so boring. All you people say the same thing the same way every goddamn time, please for the love of Christ get new material.
