You can't tell me that a lore with buff dragon men isn't gay as fuck. I refuse to accept it.
Just seeing the line "buff dragon men" makes me think of Chuck Tingle book covers.
buff dragon men critically hit in the butt by gay orc barbarian frenzy
Trying to read this makes my brain hurt. By "I gave it in" are they saying they accepted the gay orc's sexual advances? And then they go complain online about it, which seems weird.
Am I even reading this correctly?
Same, it was so bizarre that it made me laugh and I had to share it just to make sure I wasn't losing it lmao
I think they meant βI gave up [trying to like the game]β but the heart cannot help but speak
I think they did and then got angry at themselves and went online to get the feelings out
oh yeah reactionaries were fuming over the additions Beamdog made to the enhanced editions of Baldur's Gate I and II
what's weird is that the original itself never cared about making women look like fashion models, they did pretty well with making your companions look like actual people, you can scroll through some portraits here to get an idea
the original game also had an item called Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity which swapped the gender of the person that wore it (but didn't change their voice, sorry, still need to do voice training) which, if it were added in a game today would make reactionaries fume about the wokes
The portraits actually used a lot of the staff as reference photos. It's pretty cute!
I love the aesthethics so much and seeing how close they are to actual real people make me love them even more; more studios should take this route, it's great
I could see it be a cool crowdfunding reward, but the kind of g@mers with money to burn are probably all nightmares to work with.
tfw feeemales aren't about me
New gay orc?
It's a new game, aren't all the orcs new no matter who they fuck?
This is probably talking about the Enhanced Editions of the original games done by Beamdog. Tl;dr they're good.
They added a few companions, including an edgelord Blackguard orc, Dorn. The new characters can feel a little xbox360 Bioware in a classic Bioware game, so it's understandable if some people don't like them, but they're perfectly fine. You can easily ignore them after their initial introductions in the game.
There's also a few queer romance options added in the EEs, Dorn being one of them. You have to click the "yes, I want to have gay sex with the ~~handsome wizard~~ edgelord knight" button.
G@mers also got mad about the new Beamdog created expansion that's set between BG1 and BG2 because it has a cleric vendor that explains her name if you ask her about it.

But this is from a series where the incel wizard has a quest where he accidentally changed himself into a woman and has gender dysphoria
