That's the post, really. Basically everyone is saying it's really good and has no microtransactions, etc. Is it worth a buy, or would I be supporting a woke project?

I'm not getting it solely because it's not a Baldur's Gate game. It's Divinity Original Sin wearing a BG skinsuit
This is accurate, it's definitely woke as well even if Larian Studos used to be good, I think they're on the diversity quotas now. Since release day has come along we know for sure, they've beaten the female characters with the ugly stick even the good looking ones are kind of meh and they've got pronouns in the gender selection. They don't even have male/female body types but just 'body types' generally as numbers lol.
Now that's the sort of evidence that makes me go, okay, yeah they're with the WEF agenda. Fucking shame really, because if you look at Larian's older games the differences even in the art styles are stark as one would expect.
It's like this youtuber Vee pointed out ages ago you can tell whether it's a western game or not based on how ugly the female characters are. They seem to have zero intentions of stopping things. It's not just the fact that they're ugly though the models themselves look very meh. In general I'd call it an all round very meh game. Possibly the biggest crime I feel Larian has committed is hyping the game for all that time and I just don't find it that interesting.
Oh and there are in fact bugs etc. that I've been noticing as well as frequent rather jarring design decisions. I never liked the camp mechanics and so did a lot of other people actually and of course, every fucking time you do make camp, it's loading up a scene. Why? Just bad optimisation all around.
I think they made Karlach's face better looking but she's still hideously scarred. At least she has backstory for it. Only decent looking chick in the party is shadow girl, and the men are all gay for you five minutes after meeting.
I'm sure the wokeness was the price Sven paid to get the D&D/BG license and he was willing to pay it, which, in the long term is probably the best option for his studio, even if it sucks horribly for us.
Yeah, they likely have him by the balls now, a deal with the woke is a deal with the devil, there are going to be a lot of strings attached for his content to be able to access their markets. This is why I'm a firm advocate now of, abandon hope, your childhood franchises are dead, so go make new ones instead. Even if it's a complete rip off if you make a few changes it will still be better than that crap and you can do whatever you want with it.
I never would have dreamed I'd even be able to make some kind of fantasy IP if I wanted to because they are fucking all of this up so badly.
By the way, ib4 they beat women with the ugly stick in Starfield.
To be fair, Skyrim came out more than a decade ago and had fugly women, but modders saw to that... and then some.
This is my stance and I fucking loved Divinity Original Sin 2.
Yeah I was originally looking forward to the game but I hate wotc and all attached companies and I'm not playing a gay sex simulator
This.
