Okay idk if this is a hot take, I just finished my first BG3 playthrough recently and am only now starting to really engage with the fandom, but why is nobody talking about how hostile the game can be towards ace and especially aro characters? Like idk it feels weird that Withers is so beloved or the tiefling party is such a cherished scene when both of them have text that paints choosing not to date anyone as lonely and cold and tragic.

#and don’t get me started on how impossible character creation for nonbinary characters feels #like I don’t mean to act like it isn’t great how respectfully the gay/bi and polyam characters are shown #and I get that romance is a big part of the game for a lot of people #I’m just as fine with the sword coast being mostly bi as I am with cartoons having most every character be functionally aromantic #I just kind of wish the player was treated with more respect for not being a part of that majority #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #am I going to post this?#ykw sure I’ve been back on tumblr for a day let’s stir the pot #I didn’t articulate my thoughts as clearly as I could have but hopefully you still get what I mean
