    Meanwhile the game where you can be in queer polyam relationships with your entire party and it’s fine is going to win most of the awards. Go woke get paid, apparently.

      Go woke get paid, apparently.

      Or fuck, just write some dialogue that isn’t more thin and wooden than an IKEA bedroom suite.

      Much like Disco Elysium, the game does afford you plenty of opportunities to be a pig, a freak, and a sadistic asshole by turns (hell, they even give you a background that’s carte blanche murder-hobo). There’s no reason Hogwarts-heads can’t live out their most fascist fantasies by playing a full team of slavish dogmatic Githyanki or rolling Trad Clerics who go from scene to scene and murdering every White Knight and Goth Girl they come across. Its all available to you, if you don’t mind short-circuiting a bunch of fun cut scenes.

      Half the joke of BG3 is how accommodating it is to virtually every play style you can imagine by padding out the plot. You’d never know it was Woke unless you insisted on staring over someone’s shoulder through their entire play.

        It’s not enough to be able to choose to be a fascist piece of shit, other options must be locked from the player entirely to satisfy gamer-gulag

        See their reaction to Kingdom Come: Deliverance for instance

        I don’t think so?

        queer polyam relationships with your entire party

        I think it’s just the bear drood +1, but it’s been quite a few patches and hotfixes since I last played.

          Well now I need to know which game it is, because they win an Engels award for that “Origin of the Family” level take.

        Yup. You can’t be in a relationship with everyone at once due to personal conflicts, but there are pairs that will go for it depending on how you play it
