I could write pages about what BG3 means to me, and I probably will at some point. But let me share a "few" of my thoughts right now, largely unedited.

Under cut for being way too damn long. I will be talking about transgender representation, OCD, and abuse.

The transformative (pun intended) power of representation.

This is the first game where I've been able to play a transgender character, without mods, in any way that faintly resembles what I hope to some day look like. At no point in the game am I made to feel like a freak for my gender identity. Compare this to lesser RPGs like DAI where being trans is treated as an anomaly and the character you play as can be a total dick to a transgender character with no repercussions. Being transgender is entirely normalized in BG3. You are not a punchline. You are not an anomaly. You are a normal, respected, and valued part of the world.

In the grand scheme of life, this is a very small thing, to be respected and appreciated by fictional characters in a piece of media. But I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it made me hate my body less. I still have strong gender dysphoria, but I don't want to punch the mirror every time I see my own reflection anymore. I think "well, you don't look like you should, but that's just the way it is right now, and that's okay."

It also must be said that the BG3 fandom has also been a VERY large catalyst for this new confidence in my own body. It has brought me so much indescribable joy to see peoples' art of their transgender characters and to see trans identities and bodies celebrated to such an extent. I entered 2023 hating my body, and as 2023 draws to a close, I find myself more and more comfortable in it.

Resisting the Urge.

Disturbing intrusive thoughts are a hallmark symptom of OCD -a symptom that most people with OCD, including myself, are reluctant to talk about. For those unfamiliar with OCD, intrusive thoughts are unwanted thoughts, often violent, sexual, inappropriate, or otherwise viscerally upsetting in nature, that many people with OCD experience. Intrusive thoughts can turn into obsessions, and obsessions can fuel a person's desire to engage in compulsions in an attempt to regulate intrusive thoughts. Due to their disturbing nature, our intrusive thoughts can become a strong source of shame and self-hatred, and prompt us to believe that there is something morally wrong with us, when in fact we are just suffering the unfortunate symptoms of an unfortunate disorder.

The Dark Urge experiences thoughts and "Urges" like these throughout the entirety of the game. They can "fester" in the Urges, or they can resist them. They can also admit to the main companions that they are having these horribly violent thoughts.

And it is here, in the first few hours of my first playthrough, that I knew the writing of BG3 was going to be something incredibly special.

The companions do not berate the Dark Urge for having horrible thoughts. They do not react with disgust. Most of them will express sympathy, and reassure them that so long as their thoughts don't become actions, they're alright. This mirrors talking points in actual real life therapy for people with OCD. I was wholly expecting the companions to just totally shit on my character for having demented thoughts. There are other modern RPGs where companions will berate you for doing something as innocuous as stealing a pencil. In BG3, you can describe your thoughts of extreme and horrible violence, and your companions will encourage you not to hate yourself for it.

There's also the scene with Isobel, which I almost forgot to talk about. This is, in my opinion, one of the most powerful scenes in the game. It made me cry. You can tell Isobel that your Urges are demanding that you kill her. She tells you that you don't have the eyes of a killer, and if you resist your murderous Urge, you can apologize to her for your "spells of madness." She gently forgives you, but not before saying one of my favorite lines in the game.

Ultimately, the Dark Urge has much worse than OCD going on, but it was still very refreshing and meaningful to see such a sympathetic take on intrusive thoughts.

You are not your thoughts - you are your actions.

Trauma, catharsis, and healing.

Abuse is, in my opinion, one of the biggest themes of BG3. You can see it in the way Mystra regards Gale. You can see it with the Dark Urge and Bhaal. And most notably, you can see it with Astarion and Cazador. I didn't go into BG3 expecting to confront themes of abuse. It made me realize some very very unfortunate things. (Thank god, I've never been through anything as severe as, say, Astarion, but I have been in no small amount of toxic and emotionally abusive relationships.)

I recognized myself in Gale's blind desire to please a goddess who thinks he should kill himself, and I hated it. I recognized myself in the Dark Urge's desperation to please his god, only to have his heart stopped because "Bhaal will accept the world from him, and nothing less," and I hated it. I recognized myself in Astarion's prickly survivalist prey animal behavior, his lack of self worth, and his fear of trusting people, and I hated it. No one wants to be confronted with the fact, however true it is, that they're in pain. No one wants to be confronted by the fact that their painful experiences have warped them so much that they struggle to find themselves beneath the nest of thorns and barbed wire they've built.

And no one wants to confront the reality that they deserve better.

Thankfully, catharsis and healing are also major themes of BG3. You never really get the feeling that these characters will ever be completely "cured" of their pain. There are multiple scenes where characters openly weep, or talk about how empty they feel, even after they've started on the path to healing from their traumas. Which is unfortunately, true to life. Healing doesn't happen over night. But you are given the feeling that the characters are beginning to heal. BG3 tells you that healing is not out of reach. BG3 tells you that hope isn't an impossibility.

BG3 tells you in many many ways that you are not alone, sometimes verbatim, and that there is hope, and I think that is why it has resounded so strongly with so many people, including myself.

That's all the infodumping I have for now. Maybe one day I'll organize these thoughts into a more coherent article or maybe even a video.

Since I saw someone else talk about it briefly, I’m also going to talk about it. So kids, let’s talk about op(overpowered) characters. As someone who plays video games a lot, balance is important to me, so keep in mind this is coming from someone who often sees rping literally an MMO RPG just without a controller, set game mechanics or active stats.

My own character, Violent Violet, would be classed as an overpowered character, so don’t worry, I know I’m totally guilty of having one.

For me personally, I don’t hate op characters, as long as they’re not completely god-mode-ed. There ARE ways to have these stupidly strong characters, & still balance them out for interactions for other people. EX: using a D&D based system to determine if your character’s action is a success or fail. People who have seen my rp often see stuff like this show up:

(Rolled a 1 out of 3 = fail)

Or something to that effect. This is based off the D&D system with the use of a Random Number Generator. For those who don’t know, basically a high number roll usually means success & a low number roll means fail, if the roll ends up being on a number that perfectly in between a success or fail, means that nothing particularly good happens to anyone, but also nothing particularly bad happens; like someone getting their shoulder lightly nicked or something. I really like this system for fighting situations if they are not plotted out beforehand, & I really encourage others to use it to make things a bit more fair, since no one can claim god-modding based on a random number generator's randomly generator-ed choice. Even the most skilled warriors aren’t going to make the prefect move every single time anyway!

But moving on from the balancing bit-

I’ll say it straight, obviously, if you have an op character just for the sake of having one, I probably aren’t going to be interacting with them. Having a character like that for not reason other then waving them around like your ‘fix all button’ is like trying to write on a piece of paper with no pen or pencil; it’s pointless & you get bored just sitting then waiting for words to magically appear on that paper on their own.

That being said, I actually really like stories that have an op character going through tons of emotional development. Seeing a character go through something that breaks whatever their current mindset is, seeing them breakdown, fall in love, or dealing with the side effects of their crazy powers, is a fucking experience that I love.

So, putting it simply, having a physically or magically op character is fine, but having them emotionally or mentally struggling is much more okay!

This is something I am doing with Violent Violet. She is obviously classed as overpowered by loads of people, even me, & she’s technically not even in her ‘final form’ yet. Violet’s story is meant to be that of a human woman who struggles with her humanity. She’s able to throw punches with some of the strongest beings in the multiverse, surely then, even though she puts on a confident face, that would make her question if she’s really human at all? The more & more she kills off beings naturally stronger then humans, & the more of this god killing power she's forced to use, the more that’s gonna effect her mental state. I guess it’s why I find her having a lover really important to her character & vouch really hard for getting her ships, because that person would be the one thing that makes her feel the most human of all. And ‘feeling human’ is something that keeps her from going completely fucking bonkers.

I’ve been trying to show more of this side of her story, showing just how much she needs other people & how much her mental state has been silently crumbling. To show that, not matter how strong someone like her is, there’s always going to be someone that makes her weak, & someone like her needs to feel weak in the right moments. Although success of that varies, since activity with my partners has been pretty low, & one of them seems to dodge any sort of emotional development.

But anyway, my point is-

Op characters aren’t bad as long as they’re not some prefect being on all levels. Op characters can still have emotional development, mental development, relationship development, & plenty of others things that they... well... should have. And when these things are pulled off really well, they tend to end up as some of the most beloved characters. Don’t make an op character so they can be your ‘fix all button’, it’s just so boring.

literally everyone I've seen is angry at bethesdas fallout/TES games for forcing you onto a certain path. like, one of the biggest reasons as to why most people say fo4 is a terrible rpg is because of how little choice you have in the grand scheme of things compared to new Vegas from obsidian- and without mods, skyrim is nothing but a crappy rpg with boring repetitive combat. like, the reason why everyones annoyed with Preston isn't b/c "racism" you stupid whitey, it's because fo4 is a bad game.

You know things can be two things, right?

You’re right about fallout 4 being a bad RPG in this respect, because it is. You really don’t need to explain that to me, because it’s extremely common knowledge. In fact, I think that you didn’t go far enough. I would say that both Skyrim and Fallout 4 are not RPGs at all, mods or no mods. They are action games where you have some limited choice about how to proceed through the game world. You can’t decide what role you play, similar to when you play a game like DMC, Metal Gear, or Bayonetta or God of War. You just decide what tools, tactics, and tone of voice they use. Which are all mostly mechanics those prior games use from time to time-- with the added difference that different tones of voice or minor quest resolutions result in multiple endings or subplots. The Quest system in Bethesda games is not an RPG tool, but merely its mechanic of proceeding through the content. Even things that aren’t quests as we know them use it, if you examine the creation kit.

Unpopular opinion, I would even say that New Vegas isn’t an RPG either. It’s an open world action game where you can’t choose who your main character is, either-- you’re always the Courier-- but the execution is more open-form and allows the player to make their character and then go find the content. Rather than Bethesda’s approach, which is to have anxiety about the first two hours of content being boring if someone clueless wanders around in the wilderness and encounters nothing.

(Though this is a question of genre. Most RPG games are not really RPGs by this parameter-- but some have more RPG elements than others. And it’s not like genre is something concrete in other mediums either. The question of what a drama, action, suspense, or mystery novel is, or a ‘fantasy’ or ‘science fiction’ story is, these strongly persist despite books being one of our longest-running medias.)

But things can be because of like, two or more things.

It’s not like once we find a technical explanation a bell rings, pencils up, answer’s found. Problems have more than one element to them-- other Bethesda games like Skyrim, Fallout 3, have had “first hour station attendants” and radiant quest givers, though not to the same extent fallout 4 had them. And I don’t really see, or remember such virulent hate against your dad in Fallout 3, or even the Blades in Skyrim. Not even for asking you to kill Paarthurnax.

Multiple elements, I think, come together to make Preston a character that fandom dislikes. He runs heavily on the annoying radiant quest scripts that many factions (that don’t receive hate on the same level as he does, in the same ‘bad game!’) use constantly. He’s a companion so he has the potential to follow you around (if you choose! You can abandon Preston after Retaking the Castle and hardly hear from him again if you want!) and he’s a black man that asks you to please help him, that like any other companion will pester you to start a relationship once affection reaches a certain level.

I promise you that if Preston was a small pouty white girl who needed your help to get her organization back on its feet and called you General and deferred to you and admitted she ideated death before becoming your potential lover the fandom wouldn’t hate her nearly as much. She would be prime waifu material.

Homework and School Talk

Even the best student needs help sometimes. Thankfully when you’re friends with Steven Universe you meet lots of people willing to help.

The usual aides were busy so Connie asked one of the newest friends of Steven’s, Peridot. A very nice intelligent woman who was just calming to be around.

And she also has a decent amount in common with Connie which makes her easy to talk to.

“Thanks again for helping me at the last minute,” Connie said as she put her school supplies on the kitchen table next to Peridot’s laptop.

She usually got help from Pearl or her parents but they were all busy.

“It’s no problem at all,” thankfully Peridot was almost always free. She set down the drinks then started typing away. “Remember, if you need anything, just ask me.”

“Yes ma’am,” came Connie’s automatic response.

After a half-hour of the only sounds being the taps on a keyboard and the scratching of a pencil, Connie found herself still having some trouble with a couple questions.

She stared at Peridot who was typing so fast that her fingers were a blur.

The woman looked so busy.

“Do you need any help?” Peridot asked, sensing Connie’s gaze. 

“Oh, uh, well ma’am, there’s this one concept I can’t seem to grasp,” Connie pointed at some math questions.

Peridot stopped her work and took a good look at them. “This is a tough one. I had some trouble with it myself.” Peridot got up and grabbed some printer paper. “Perhaps a visual will help.”

She drew diagrams and carefully went over them asking Connie if she understood and got her to explain a few times as well. Eventually Connie got it and filled in the answers on her homework. After getting Peridot to check her work they both went back to their tasks.

“Ma’am?”

“You don’t need to call me that, in fact, I’d prefer if you didn’t.”

“Oh, right, Peridot?”

“Yes, Connie?”

“Do you think you can play some music? Sometimes I find it easier to work with a little noise.”

“I’m the same way,” Peridot opened the music folder on her laptop then turned it around for Connie to see. “Take your pick.”

“I,” Connie looked through all the folders, “don’t know any of these.”

Peridot chuckled. “Yeah, my tastes are a bit odd. Okay, I personally find calming RPG music helpful when I need to concentrate. And it’s also easy to talk over.” Peridot opened a folder labeled ‘Tales of Symphonia Chronicles OST Disc 1' and started the soundtrack from the beginning. Nice peaceful orchestral music filled the air. “If you want me to play something else, just tell me.”

“No, this is fine. Thank you ma’Peridot.”

Taps and scratches blended in with the music. Before they knew it the first CD had reached the end.

“I think it’s about time we took a snack break,” Peridot said as she stretched her back. “I baked chocolate chip cookies earlier. Would you like a couple? Or would you prefer fruit?”

“Fruit please, do you have any apples?” Connie had debated eating a cookie but her mom says that fruit is more conducive to studying.

“You know what they say about apples, right?” Peridot started telling a joke.

One that Connie’s heard a million times. “That they keep the doctor away.”

Peridot frowned. “Yeah, I guess that is a really obvious one.”

“If it makes you feel any better, I did find it funny the first couple times.”

Peridot gathered up the snacks, two cookies for herself, and a nice pink lady apple for Connie.

As they ate Connie couldn’t help looking at Peridot. She took in Peridot's tall spiky hair, gauges, and the split in her tongue.

“You look like you want to ask me something,” Peridot said.

“It’s kind of personal.”

“That’s fine.”

“Hm,” Connie wasn’t sure how exactly to ask it; Peridot’s sharp silver eyes made her a bit intimidating at times. “So why did you decide to modify your body? We’re always being told to not judge a book by its cover but let’s be honest, doing so is human nature. And... well...”

“My mods don’t match up with how people expect a nerd to look,” Peridot completed the statement.

“Well, I was going to say that your appearance belies the fact that you’re very kind and intelligent. But yes.”

“To be honest,” Peridot giggled. “I just did it so I could be one of the ‘cool kids’ for once. I figured that since they look cool that’d make me cool.”

“Oh, I expected something a bit deeper.”

“Nah, well,” Peridot scratched her cheek, “I was also hoping that if I were one of ‘the cool kids’ I wouldn’t be picked on so much.”

“Did it work?”

“Nope, if anything it got worse. Apparently my popular peers didn’t have the same tastes as me, they weren’t too into my newly stretched earlobes. And the girl I had a crush on was really grossed-out by my tongue.” Peridot laughed at the memory. “Oh well, I like it and the girl I ended up dating does too.”

Connie fell silent for a moment, she looked down. “Did the bullying ever stop?”

“Yeah,” Peridot’s previously intimidating eyes looked soft, “when I started the twelfth grade it just suddenly stopped.”

“That long, huh,” Connie sighed.

“You have to remember that I was a different person back then. I made myself an easy target and having a prosthetic foot didn’t help either. You’ll be fine. And just keep telling yourself that it gets better.”

“Is high school as bad as the media makes it out to be?”

“Nah, not that bad. I’ve never been shoved into a locker or given a swirlie. Most of what I endured was verbal. Well, that and some jerk kept wedging my lock up into a gap and I always had a hard time getting it out.”

“I’m terrified of starting high school,” it felt weirdly good to tell someone that.

“I was too,” Peridot confessed. “It sucked. But it was also only a few years and after that things got a bit easier. College is actually a better environment. There’s still a ton of work but things are more easygoing there. Just join a club or two, trust me, it’s the best way to make friends and gives you something to do other than schoolwork.”

Connie looked a bit disheartened.

“But Connie, everybody’s school experience is different,” Peridot hoped she could brighten the mood. “You’re already better adjusted than I was so you’ll be fine.”

“I dunno, I’m mostly picked on because I’m always reading alone and because of my glasses. But I don’t want to give up books.”

“Then don’t,” Peridot shrugged. “They make you happy so you shouldn’t give them up. Some of my few regrets are when I gave up stuff I enjoyed to fit in better. I lost what gave me joy and that just made everything worse.”

“I guess,” Connie hadn’t thought of it from that angle. “But I do kind of want to wear contacts. But my parents won’t let me.” Connie sounded a touch like a whiny teenager. “Not only do glasses make me a target they’re also a pain in the butt.”

Confiding in Peridot was so refreshing.

“Yeah, they’re always dirty and smudgy, they fog up, and if you’re a klutz like I am then they’re also covered in scratches.”

“And you get classmates asking to try them on and they get passed around the whole room.”

Peridot laughed “That was the worst! Then they all laugh because they can’t see anything. And some clod would always end up touching the lens with their thumb.”

“That happened to me so many times,” Connie groaned. Then something occurred to her. “But Peridot, you’re an adult so you can get contacts. Why haven’t you?”

“Ah, well, my glasses help me look less like my mother,” Peridot replied.

That took a depressing turn.

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be, that had nothing to do with you,” Peridot felt bad for killing the mood. “So why the sudden interest in my body mods? Were you thinking of getting a couple yourself?”

“No, I haven’t even thought about piercing my ears,” Connie appreciated the subject change. “So when did you decide to get them?”

“I was sixteen when I started to put some serious thought into it. I’ve always found the punk sub-culture’s aesthetic highly fascinating and eventually decided that I wanted to at least emulate it a little bit. After a year of debating and researching I asked my dad for permission.”

Connie’s eyebrows rose. “And he gave it to you?”

“Yeah, it really shocked me. He said he did because I was so smart about it.” Peridot's typical lopsided smile showed up on her face. “Go figure. But of course he set a limit to how much I could stretch my ears. And I respected that. Mutual respect, you know.”

“That’s actually pretty cool.”

“So, have you ever thought about trying out something more, adventurous?”

Connie thought for a bit. “Well, I have thought about cutting my hair short a couple of times. Long hair is always in the way, especially when I'm training with Pearl.”

“You should cut it if you want to. And if you don't like how it looks, hair grows back; I was bald just a few years ago.”

“I worry that I’d look like a boy.”

“There’s nothing wrong with that,” of course Peridot didn’t see a problem with it, she herself looked like a teenage boy. “And I think you’d look cute with short hair.”

“I guess,” Connie didn’t sound too enthusiastic.

“But remember, in the end it’s your body, your choice. If it worries you that much then wait a bit. There’s no hurry to find yourself.”

“Thank you, for the advice.”

“Any time.”

They smiled at each other then got back to work.

But not before Connie decided to have a cookie after all.

Reading old 80s D&D clones and found the best villain scheme ever.

While everyone is conquering the world or bringing about the apocalypse, the Riddling Reaver (from Fighting Fantasy) is planning to use an ancient artifact to alter the universe. If he succeeds, rather then everyone's moral status being easily placed into one of nine unambiguous categories, Morality will be grey, blurry and impossible to uncontroversially define. At one point someone starts panicking about the terrible possibility of having evil people who don't know they're evil.

"This fuckers going to implement moral complexity in your game and it's up to you to stop him!" is such a high-concept extrapolation of the concept of an alignment system that I can't help but love it. The villain is coming in with postmodern accounts of intersubjectivism and someone needs to stop him reading them to the GM.

Can't say I like the sound of this power

(From "Champion: Powers" for the Hero System)

See if you can figure out what it does from the stats and, if not, give a best and likely horrifying guess.

10 most bizarre theories for the first vampires from the Chronicles Of Darkness Sourcebooks:

Every single character from the fairy tale of Snow White

Vlad Dracula...’s butler

Thomas Edison

 Some guy from Rome known only as "The Bastard" 

Vampires are what the Y2K bug actually caused instead of computer failures

All pirates become vampires when they die. That’s just how that works.

Judas but they're very clear its wasn’t that Judas, it was another guy in the middle east at the same time who happened to have the same name.

A literal snake

A guy punished with eternal darkness for eating too many rocks 

Just a really shit werewolf. They were so bad at being a werewolf they became a vampire.

Mod Pencil’s RPG Finds

(from Stay Alive, Monte Cook Games, 2020) I love this. Wanna run a game with a killer clown as the villain? Have you considered preparing for the game by just filling your house with murder clowns ahead of time? Simple, straightforward, will 100% unnerve your players. Some might say it doesn't work during lockdown but I disagree. If you can fill all your player’s rooms with clown iconography when they’re on the other side of the country and none of you can leave your houses, I can guarantee they would start the game very unsettled indeed.

Mod Pencil’s RPG Finds

“So here’s my new character. They’re a human bard” “Ok” “And they’re fucking dead. Just a rotten skeleton” “You..mean an undead?” “Nope. Just a normal corpse. ” *climbs under the gaming table and goes to sleep*

(Pelgrane Press, Cthulhu Apocalypse) For context, “tainted humans” here means deep one hybrids. For further context, “All tainted humans” here is 99.9% of the world’s population. There is a story seed here where one day everyone around you turns into a fish monster, roars threateningly and then just...leaves. It’s simultaneously the most hilarious and most cosmic horrory apocalypse I’ve ever seen. -Mod Pencil.

Shadow Of The Demon Lord is just using verbatim descriptions of me for their game but go on I guess. -Mod Pencil

Mod Pencil’s RPG Finds

(From the Official Dragon Age RPG Corebook) Most of the advanced roleplaying tips in the rulebook are fairly normal- keep track of iniative, discuss matters ooc, etc. And then there’s this. “Fuck you guys, if you don’t start getting me food and drink I will call you out in a major official RPG Relase! A whole 20 people might see it and then you’ll be sorry!”

Mod Pencil’s RPG Find

(from Pelgrane’s Press’s Hideous Creatures) Look at this goofy bastard. All the other monsters in it are in aggressive poses, and then there’s just this thing. It looks as confused by its own appearance as everyone else.  It’s taking 1d10 sanity damage from its own face and honestly I can relate.
