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?
Also Virconia, not sure what her point was, I did not find a way to have her join me.
It had a ton of memberbarries, remember Sarevok, remember Jahiera (now old and weak), remember Minsc (with I think 10 strength?), remember the Slayer? It was all forced for nostalgia. So much focus on Jahiera being old as well, like she was half-elf she was not suppose to age worse then Minsc.
I felt used.
What they did to Viconia (and Sarevok) was complete bullshit and was the final determinator in my decision to not get this game. If the original characters don't deserve to have their redemption arcs, why the hell should any of Larian's get any?
Fyi Sarevok does get his redemption arc in Throne of bhaal even though the expansion wasn't that good it provided a lot of closure, Viconia can also have her alignment changed under the right conditions. The story had been completely setup and done for those characters, Larian defiled their graves to bring them back from the dead.
Even Viconia's non-romance, non-alignment-change ending implied a redemption for her happened, where she fell out of favor with Shar and assisted do-gooder Drizzt in saving Suldanessalar from a Zhentarim plot. Seems the writers at Larian really hated her and Sarevok and felt the need to go out of their way including them in a story that didn't require them just to assassinate them, character-wise and literally.
Jaheira was muh elven milf and they ruined her :(
