while i think it's fair to worry about how much they're going to change certain stuff, i also think there's Way too much doomposting surrounding bg3's changes in characterisation
#'they changed lae'zel' its literally a greeting.#which changes w different levels of affinity#and according to what i've read it was always in the game files but wasn't working?#she's pretty much still the same in the main plot and in her romance#and the whole thing w gale being more lenient about the magic items is literally bc he would leave if you closed the inventory#without giving him anything#like literally the only real change in characterisation that i've seen has been astarion and his opinion on the mizora thing#that and the gortash gay letters that were changed#other than that the changes have only added scenes (mostly related to epilogue stuff which may have felt lacking at first) and fixed bugs#i will also say that wyll's part in all of this has been Very lacking because he truly needs more content in comparison to astarion#but if they're willing to listen to fans? maybe they Will add stuff?#and about the added lines to the gortash scene.... adding more dialogue options is Not changing the characterisation of a character#it's literally giving you more options. if you don't like them you can literally NOT press the button#OH. i've just remembered. halsin's new thing. not going romantic on you if you didn't flirt with him#that's also another characterisation change i noticed. but that's a coherent one#if you didn't flirt with halsin why would he. yk.#anyways. i'm seeing too much doomposting. worrying about this is normal but people are being so pessimistic#mona.txt

Omg did your husband divorce you and take all your kids and now you've got too much spare time in your hands to cry about stupid shit boomer?
Why are you suggesting he's Gay or Bi or Queer? Are you basing it on the letter that he wrote as an overly corny cheesy villainy charismatic character he is? That letter seemed completely ok to me and you're assuming he is gay because men don't say we love you to each other? Seems like you haven't met a lot of men of different cultures and races or even learnt history.
Seems like Larian studios actually changed the letter to subtly imply he is straight and to avoid misunderstanding that people like you who thinks saying I love you to a man is gay. They wanted people to subtly know that he's actually straight without declaring it weirdly.
If I'm assuming correctly, you are angry at people for telling he is straight as default because of heteronormative society that you view as queerphobic. Even if that was the case, you'd still be wrong because there's evidence for him being straight and no evidence for him being bi.
He might be bi in secret but we don't know that, and according to evidence we have he seems to be straight than gay. When a female character is shown to be in a relationship with only a woman, we assume she's lesbian until show tells us that she's bi or even straight and all the relationship of past were just a public facade or whatever might be the reason. We go based on the evidence.
Heteronormative or not, Gortash is more in line with straight sexuality from the evidence and what Larian studios did. Not Queer, you are saying he's queer only because you want him to.
You are literally projecting at this point. Maybe have some self-reflection.

sorry, I'm still shaking my head at the audacity of suggesting that removing the homoeroticism of the Franc Peartree letter is "making Gortash straight."
and then saying it's not homophobic to do that.
actually making a queer character straight for no reason would be homophobic, but BG3 is full of queer rep, as YOU pointed out.
so why would you just assume Gortash is now straight because they removed a letter that they're probably just embarrassed of bc it's ooc, and not purely bc of its queer contents?
because you're a biphobic asshole, for one thing, but also because you deep down prefer that he be straight.
and that's not on ME for pointing that out.
there is NO reason to think they made Gortash straight because they ironed out that gay ass letter, not unless that's what you WANT to read into it.
queer Gortash was in the game for MONTHS. they removed it now but if you genuinely don't think Larian is queerphobic, which they are not, then why would you think he's straight now?
only because you want him to be.
the audacity.
also acting like IM the one who's projecting. ohhhhh you people. god sent you to test me.
