the pretend plot of bg3: you've gotta get these tadpoles out and stop a giant floating brain with delusions of grandeur

the real plot of bg3: in order to date us (the party) you must defeat our seven evil exes: a half-demon warlock patron, the literal goddess of magic, a vampiric lord, an insane cult leader , an archdemon, the goddess of darkness, and finally, the Trauma

What's better than a devil you don't know? A devil you do.

The fact that they weren’t just like, oh we'd better have a contingency plan for the player losing the Hammer, they were also like, you know what, how can we have fun with this?

I just love how he builds up to the insult.

20% ‘no’ on the “does gale dekarios eat pussy” poll is crazy—opinions on his character aside—solely because his voice actor stood in that recording booth multiple times to deliver at minimum three separate lines of dialogue reiterating that the man eats pussy. the writers said “let’s not leave this up to guesswork” and mr. downie collected his paycheck

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.

But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.

And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.

And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.

Halsin says trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

[vierune]

So, there I was looking through all the datamined stuff Halsin is in. Most of it is just Halsin approving or disapproving of a single action, so I usually skip over, but today I noticed something ABOUT Halsin's approval in one particular scene.

While fighting Balthazar, the player can steal his mother's eye (or maybe more?) that's in a jar. Doing so will yield the following dialogue.

Halsin is the only one to disapprove if the player keeps the eye. He's also the only one who approves of the player returning it.

Notice that the option comes after Balthazar gets upset and demands the player return his mother.

Now, one could just chalk it up to Halsin's overall decency, but even Wyll approves of keeping her. And, well...

You might remember that Halsin has a lot of understanding for what it's like to experience loss.

And, more to the point, empathy for the issue of lost mothers.

So... yeah. Make of that what you will.

I clicked on a mirror as Halsin for funsies and now I'm feeling some sorta way about it

So, that devil at the end of the bed...not quite sure which one it is, until they start to spout either something pretty horny, or poetic,a bit human.

Raphael or Haarlep? Back then (like centuries ago) it would have been impossible to distinguish one from another, y'know ψ( ` ∇ ´ )ψ

(p.s. rotate the name and the other one is there as well.)

(p.s.2. I don't know how well the quality here on tumblr provides for the full pic, so pls check this link for the full res to guarantee the best zoom for dat ass ｡ﾟ(｡ﾉωヽ｡)ﾟ｡)

Raphael not only has a diary at home but a journal at the Devil’s Den, not to mention his fanfiction book. Love the idea the minute he’s done talking with us his scribbling down his feelings furiously.

shooting her shot

"Orinthara isn't toxic yuri it's putting Minthara with her abuser, her rapist"

...Yes, which is toxic. Toxic ships are not supposed to be "they fight sometimes and are kinda mean to each other" it's "this would not be good IRL in fact it would be very bad, this would be awful"

I'm actually very concerned some people think there's an "acceptable" degree of toxicity in a relationship, even a fictional one, like obviously idc what fictional ships people like I'm not saying otherwise, but when you're moralizing over ships it's weird to insinuate that there's a level of genuinely bad relationship behavior that is acceptable to portray.
