Playing through Kingmaker rn. So far hasn't been too terrible SJWwise, just typical Paizo shit. The game is really well done in regards to faithfulness to tabletop mechanics, one of the best I've played.
Only thing that's really annoyed me so far is the loading splash screen for Octavia. "She's the strong female companion I've always wanted" But that's been the most glaring thing to me so far, and it's very minor. Granted, I'm only 2 major quests in after murderating the Stag Lord
I'm about 40 hours in and I'm not minding it so far. The thing about CRPGs especially Pillars of Eternity is I don't want them to bore me and this hasn't so far. Octavia I've benched as she's better as a Chaotic Good Regent for me while I'm out exploring.
There is some decent environments and side quests to find (Cypress Queen Set) for instance and while the companions don't stand out, I find myself using Kaessi alot, mainly because the Kinetic class is really interesting to use, especially with different infusions and abilities that provides, different from say a vanilla mage.
So you noticed that is a lot of feminism influence, a lot of gay stuff, male companions are pathetic except black dude in second act, cause of course they will force the only likable, family oriented character to be black but I'll take that. Dialogue tends to be modern and off somehow, maybe it is the translation from Russian but maybe the writers are trash.
But despite all of this you still like it? Not observing it I understand but to notice all of this and still like it I can't.
In the defense of the game I did like the rule set implemented and I do dig the map and character creation, once they sorted most of the bugs out.
I actually did do that at one point. I replaced my companions with mercenaries, custom portraits and all, better back story as well. I remember mercenaries being expensive as fuck. Was that fixed?
I would even dispute the 'strong independent women' bit. Amiri at first glance is the feminist barbarian girl, but she literally submits to the PC as her Chief within 2 hours into the game.
Valerie is just a caricature - her whole back story is so ridiculous, especially coupled with her completely mediocre appearance that in my court she is basically the jester except she doesn't know it.
Past that - Kingmaker is the only CRPG I know where you can get legitimate threesome relationship with male PC and 2 sisters. That kind of polygamy i like.
I will play it as well, but pirate it. All in all Kingmaker wasn't that bad, except some "muh stronk independent women" and polygamy trash.

this mod lets one edit savegames and replace portraits for all NPCs and companions with custom art. Replacement affects splash screens.
Went to the trouble to switch the 'strong females' with very lewd fetish variants. Makes them bearable.
