man people REALLY can't tell when larian is full on joking in their patch notes, huh? the gale thing was a legitimate bug and people are crying that they changed him as they did lae'zel. reading comprehension these days is abysmal.

I can't be surprised, though, because back when astarion's kiss animation was bugged, I saw discussions that it was "suspicious" that his kiss animation wasn't bugged for the default guy body, but was bugged for the default gal body. you know, as if larian somehow fucked up their own game's code on purpose, specifically to slight women who want to romance a canonically bisexual man that has flirtatious dialogue with the lady companions regardless of your tav's interest in him. totally checks out.

the complaints about changing lae'zel are entirely valid and I agree that her personality should not be toned down to appeal to the delicate sensibilities of the heterosexual man. I'm fairly certain that lae'zel's change was actually the only one that intentionally altered a companion's dialogue to be less abrasive. the alleged change to shart was also a bug fix, not an attempt to alter her character, if I remember correctly.

but by all means, let's accuse the devs of "ruining the game" every time they improve it. even better, let's all campaign for the addition of another romance! solely so that we can have sex with a popular NPC! rather than, oh I don't know, putting more pressure on them to add more material to the stories of wyll & karlach!

I swear, some people really do NOT know what it feels like to play a game where the devs truly and honestly are not listening to the playerbase...or where it takes literal YEARS for them to respond to even a fraction of the players' reasonable concerns & feedback.

#bg3 #thoughts about media #no this does not mean the game is without fault and no this does not mean you cannot or should not criticise them.#let's not do that social media thing where we put words in people's mouths because we can't slow down and read their post properly.#the bg3 devs are Very receptive to community feedback compared to what I am used to.#and yet instead of the community banding together to press for much needed improvements to wyll & karlach's stories...#the majority complains about...misunderstandings on account of their own lack of reading comprehension....#...and the inability to actually have sex with raphael gort or dammon.#man I thought the whole “which NPC would you like to see as a possible romance?” was just a fun discussion question.#not “let's start a literal petition so we can have sex with a guy who's canonically terrible in bed.”#also wtf is wrong with the available options. wyll star gale and hal are all hot & cool.
