    the one piece of this complaint I’m a bit sympathetic to is that because the game is so desperately horny and everyone wants to fuck everyone else, it can be hard to tell when you are engaging with an NPC in a platonic way versus romantic. there are a few romance options that start out like ‘hey I’m a wizard do you want to see some magic?’ and the response options are ‘yes I do’ or ‘eat shit and die’ without an option for ‘magic is cool but keep your mage hands to yourself’

      I love Baldurs Gate 3 but its the horniest crpg I have ever played.Also relationships for your companions can go from 0-100 really quick. Im not mad about it but I can understand that some people would have prefered the companions to be less thirsty. Even a little bit more build up in the relationships towards sex would have gone a long way.

      It was really funny seeing this one girl online complaining that she struck out with everyone at the big campfire scene. I was like “literally how?” Bc I was tripping over everyone trying to turn them down left and right

        Actually got kinda mad when the game locked me out of one character romance line because of one of those seemingly innocuous conversations with said wizard. Game seems to think I’m 200% into him and not the other character, which appears to have broken that storyline entirely kitty-cri
