Avowed's Creators On Why Romance Was Considered, But Ultimately Not Included And Skyrim Comparisons
  • You are making a silly argument that is flawed. The Witcher includes sexual themes because the book it is based on also includes these themes.

    BG3 includes optional romantic themes because the game it is based on can include optional romantic themes. The game is about your involvement in the story, about how you navigate the world and its people because it attempts to mimic DnD. You can do a lot of "I seduce the dragon" and BG3 was designed to be fairly accomodating to a variety of tables.

    To suggest the game would be better if it contained no romance when you haven't played it is... bizarre? Especially with it being optional. But, that is perhaps the epitome of my argument. A lot of content in BG3 is optional. To remove any of it would be to make a game about options lesser.

  • I think romance is included in a lot of stories because it is a very common component in life. We have so many experiences around love, and exploring that in a fictional environment at the same time we do battle against demons is fun for many people.

    TTRPGs cater to you choosing your own story. To remove the romance from this story is to say that some choices in this story cannot be made.

    Also, there's mods to remove the romance. It would be a loss to have them gone at the onset.

  • Stonehenge not visibly damaged by protest paint. It's clean and ready to rock the solstice
  • I get it. I think defending yourself against that is probably a lost cause, though, even if that feels bad not to.

    As for being an authority, personally, I see that. I think you made a statement and people, reasonably or not, assumed you know something more than they do. You post a lot, so why wouldn't you know a lot?

  • I disagree on pretty much every point, but I personally don't see the problem you're having with the game. If you don't like the nudity, that is optional (as in, there is an option for it.) If you're complaining about the romance, that's like an entire genre of stories. Heck, softcore porn is also a genre of stories that is exceptionally popular. So, why would removing it for you make up for the loss of potential customers that were gained from it being there, especially since you bought it with it there anyway? Idk, seems like you disproved your own point.

  • Israeli strike hits Rafah area after Hamas barrage
  • Your issue is that you have already come to a conclusion, and your issues aren't issues to anyone but you. Give me an example of someone saying Hamas is literally fighting with rocks as an actual answer.

  • Their data is adjusted for family size. Family size has been consistently shrinking since the 1960s, which, if you adjust their graph, will lead to overall decrease in wages throughout time. It is a meaningless method of transformation to get data that supports a false narrative.

    Why did you not point out that their data is transformed when I did?
