I don't play many PC games these days because of how woke a lot of the shit is. I got burned on Cyberpunk, so now I pretty much play FS2020 and that's it these days. The last game I played through was System Shock remake, which I found to be decent enough.
BG3 won game of the year from Worth a Buy, but I hear it has a lot of gay sex?
I enjoyed my playthroughs. I recommend a few of the based mods. In particular Sir Aylin, that removes the aggressive dyke that isn't avoidable in a non evil playthrough.
Now I mostly play evil, so I killed her in my first campaign and wasn't aware that she's a psycho lesbian if you don't mod it.
She's legitimately my favorite character of the lot. Has the best jokes too.
I was intrigued by Minthara until I saw "her" and thought "She looks like a very effeminate boy...WTF? I thought drow were supposed to be seductive....?"
Also, why are ALL the drow NPC's so pale? If you have a drow, they are supposed to be black as ink.
WoTC changed that decades ago funny enough, they decided that having the sadistic slaver race be black as numidians was offensive.
I only played once so I want your perspective. Upfront, I'm already starting to forget details.
The story from the 3 evil guys, the Bane dude gets the crown from Raphael, the crown has the power of a god. He gives the crown to an elder brain (one of the most intelligent beings in the world), to control it with 3 shards that he shares with the other 2 (why??) in order to create an army to then save the city so he can become Duke? The entire scenario is ridiculous, use the power of a god in the most insane way possible in order to obtain almost nothing?
Also Raphael wants the crown as it is immensely powerful and he could become the most powerful devil but he already had it before and did not become the most powerful devil?
The Bhaal psycho-bitch has any motivation other then being there and being a bitch? All I got from that was, remember the doppelgangers? Remember Sarevok? Remember the Slayer?
Also did you free the comet dude? After his initial reaction was "I must become an Ilithid to defeat the elder brain" I just uninstalled the game. That made no sense to me, he was an incredibly powerful, borderline divine being and he could find no other way then turning in to the thing him and his entire race hates with unquenchable hatred.
Act 2 I think was the best act, it still had issues, mostly the lesbian being horrible and wanting to kill her but I had already freed her as I wanted a good story with Shadowheart. I also did not like how pathetic Jaheira was in term of power.
edit: When did it change the way Ilithid are made? It was not a mutation of the host but turning in to an Ilithid, basically the tadpole matures using you and is the tadpole now turned in to maturity that also absorbs the victims memory, more inline with Goa'uld rather then X-men.
No real disagreement there, Act 3 was a mess and imo there's a few significant rewrites needed for it to be coherent.
And no I didn't free Orpheus I enslaved his silly ass and lied to Laezel about it.
As for how ilithid are made, yes that's either a retcon or a mistranslation and these days it could have been either.
Gortash (evil follower of Bane) got the Crown of Domination from Mephistopheles, not Raphael. This is discussed in your meeting with Raphael at Sharess' Carress. (Personally, I'd have liked to see that story. "Go all the way down to the Eighth (of Nine) Rings of Hell and steal an ancient Netherese artifact from and Arch-Duke of Hell..." Sounds cool)
The premise of your first part is mistaken.
OK, that at least makes sense. I thought it was the same guy do to the chick that helped him and also helps you.
Can you give me a short list of mods for a good, evil, and works for both play styles? Thanks!
That's pretty much a matter of taste but I recommend basedmods.com.
