I sometimes see people claiming Baldur's Gate 3 isn't woke. It occurs to me that this is only possible because people don't publicly spoil the story.
So here's what happens in BG3.
Act 2: the macguffin you've been searching for is actually an angel. A female angel. A butchy lesbian female angel. Who is fucking the bad guy's daughter. And that badass lesbian angel totally kills her girlfriend's mean dad.
Act 3: the mindflayer you've been working with is actually Baldur, the namesake of the entire franchise. Also, there's a dragon living beneath the city. And the two of them were gay lovers. That's right. Baldur's Gate was named after a gay mindflayer who was fucking a gay dragon.
So the biggest reveals in the game are super fucking gay, but no one talks about them because that would be spoiling the story. Isn't that clever?
The game doesn't depict them as evil. And you can side with the druids. The problem with the game is the hardcore gay element.
it depicts the isolationist druids who want to protect their borders from the hell-spawn as evil.
Yeah but a lot of the hell spawn in the game were depicted as pieces of shit too. I think the game is more pro gay than anything else.
For someone whose gaydar went off like an air raid siren when the game was being marketed and hasn't touched it, are we talking hell-spawn in the sense of Tieflings, Devils, or Demons?
Because I could entertain Tieflings (can't choose your ancestors after all), would be willing to hear you out about Devils (lawful evil will still respect contracts, just gotta word them like you're wishing with the evil genie), and am 100% "kill them all" if it's Demons.
Tieflings acting like gypsies/thieving refugees.
Ah, wunderbar. The standard bullshit, then.
Well, content of their character and all that, but maximized extended fireball generally solves this type of problem.
I don't remember that but my memory could just be bad.
