We’re working on our next game update, Patch 7, which will add improved evil endings to the game for even darker conclusions to your most sinister playthroughs, and yes, that includes you non-Durge players.
I suppose this is good news, but I also bet it's because the bulk of the playerbase finally finished the game ( As if it was that difficult to do ) a lot of the positive reviews were based on Act 1 or Act 2 and people hadn't even gotten to Act 3 yet which is a piss take. They're admitting now the hype has died down they had an unfinished game on their hands and now they seem to be finishing it.
Baldur's Gate 3 is a great example of why steam metrics are worth jack shit in terms of research and marketing purposes. Any honest reviews get drowned out by fanbois and spam or bots reposting shitty memes and bumping each other up. The whole site has turned into a reddit clone with blatant shills covering for each other.
does it acknowledge its faggotry problem?
Larian already did that where they "patched out" the "bug" that made party members super horny and come onto you within the first hour of playtime. Because that's totally what it was, a bug. It was absolutely NOT a feature and the game was obviously NOT designed that way to appeal to the Reddit faggots that represented the majority of people who played the early access (or at least were the only ones permitted to give feedback).
Unfortunately, Gale and Astarion are still in the game, as is the drag queen, the bear scene, the horny Mind Flayer, the ogre and bugbear...I swear, this game sounds more depraved than a hentai visual novel.
The WHAT?!
Yeah, there's a Mind Flayer called the Emperor that you can romance and have sex with. Even though Mind Flayers don't have a reproductive system that is in-line with vertebrates, and thus don't have a sex drive, and thus wouldn't seek out any kind of sexual experience. Never mind how different their thought processes are from everyone else's; companionship and romance would be incomprehensibly alien concepts to them, especially towards beings they view as food. But it's what sexually-obsessed (and frustrated) Redditors want, so of course Larian put it in.
People who bitch about BG3's bear scene only looked at the surface and really didn't understand how bad it is. I personally don't mind romance at all in a game, it can add a lot of depth to characters like with Mass Effect 2. However yeah, there's a big difference between doing that classic Bioware style as opposed to Tumblrites and Redditors inserting their fetishes into it all.
It's also really telling how they turned all of the male companions for the most part into muscle chads or femboys and you instantly knew who the game was marketed at mostly when they beat women with the ugly stick. That's all the aesthetics problems that the game had and I've ranted in the past about the gameplay mechanics having it's own blatant issues.
Isn't the initial goal of every playthrough to abort a mindflayer embryo that was implanted into your brain?
You heard him
I wish I didn't. Fuggin hell
