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?

It has a vitiligo slider lmfao
Seriously, what the fuck is with wokies and vitiligo? You'd think half the population of earth has it the way it's represented absolutely everywhere. Does vitiligo have a 2x ESG multiplier?
It's the kind of thing that would, in a PnP game, add roleplaying options. Like, you could give a PC some kind of social penalty, hard to disguise themselves, but easier to cause diversions, etc. But Wokeness demands diversity AND conformity, you have the right to play a hideous freak but never to be TREATED like a hideous freak.
Something simple would be the classic Fallout games where playing a low-IQ character completely changed the game and only let you speak like a retard. That level of immersion and character-building isn't allowed anymore.
It allows trans-racialism without pretending.
It's just the same as 'needing' the ability to make amputees or wheelchair bound people, it's another step on their holy quest to make sure every last person on earth (above white males on the progressive stack) gets to be literally represented in a game, and damn the resource expenditure.
It's a non-issue made political because they always need a new crusade, basically.
I completely noped out of the game once I saw that slider. I was checking out a livestream just to see if I would be interested, and throwaway531 is 100% correct on everything he mentioned.
Body types instead of "Male" and "Female" options, lots of ugly characters, and a bunch of "diversity" everywhere. And that vitiligo slider made me close out the window and swear off the game.
A real shame, because the first Baldur's Gate was one of my all-time favourite titles.
All of this shit was added in after Early Access.
If you hadn't sworn off EA before, now's the time. Companies have figured out they can bait-and-switch in faggotry and social justice on release.
Wait, they only added in the woke stuff after Early Access? That's really scummy.
