In Baldur's Gate 3 you can prevent a tiefling from doing a revenge killing on a goblin or even lead a goblin raid on a druid grove to show those stupid tree-huggers what for

In addition to all that stuff, the story was just straight up yawn-worthy boring

Huh. I always thought Yahtzee was at the very least chud-adjecent just based on vibes but he makes a pretty strong rejection of Rowling and TERFs in general in this. Cool to see.

Yes, Armored Core 6

ive been a harry potter hater since i was in first grade and my friends were trying to hype me up for the first movie. i was vindicated years later when jk rowling ended up being a terrible person

if there is one harry potter hater on earth, that is me if there are no harry potter haters on earth then i am dead

i wish i could say the same

And on the other end of the spectrum there's me, still not emotionally detached from the parts that meant a lot to young draggo :(

bluejean baby.. Hogwarts lady

Just install a mod to replace all mind flayers with mine flails

I don't like that the plot is all about illithids (boring)

Mind Flayers are the hook, but its a full on brawl between supernatural factions by the end. You get a healthy number of gods, devils, and undead monsters all piling in.

Anti-calamari discrimination

Yeah mind flayers suck, and it sucks that anything involving the underdark has to so heavily involve them. Give me more svirfnebli if we must go to the fucking underdark

(I've never played Baldur's Gate 3 so I have no idea whether we get svirfneblin action but I have read R.A. Salvatore's books and this reminded me to rant about it)

"How... How can you smile like that? Murderer!!!"

None of those things except maybe the shadow government because you basically play a born-special child soldier enforcing the status quo against a marginalized ethnic group.

Thoughts on a game (that wasn't TERF shit) where you still put down a slave rebellion, but they full on lean into being a neoliberal ghoul? You can get sponsored by the shadow government for unlimited currency, you can instigate wars off of false pretenses, you can empower landlords for rep with your shadow faction, you have missions to extract slaves and resources from other countries, etc. Would you play it?

Basically it coasted on advertising. People thought it's the next big thing because they saw it everywhere, not realising that thats because more money went into advertising than paying the devs to make a good game.

Finally, I can do Roblox in Zelda.
