Threads like this and some of the comments in here is why we can't have nice things. This is why majority of games get censored so wannabe parents can be happy.
I hope Larian doesn't change anything. Your kids shouldn't be playing this game to begin with. A game which literally starts with a brain infested worm that slowly makes you lose your whole body and mind. And the guy that is a "husband" and his gf walks in on an oral scene. Really dude? Really?
This thread makes me lose hope in gaming communities very fast.
Instead, how about you all don't buy a game which you can't phantom to play around your siblings or relatives? How about that? Or maybe, just maybe, be a little bit more open minded irl.
Im guessing english isn't your first language? As the "husband" guy, yes I was tongue-in-cheek making a quip. That means it was a "joke" - something you sometimes say like you are being serious but you arent being serious. So, don't try to use me as leverage on whatever weird little point you just tried to make.
As a developer, I can tell you that animations and cutscenes are guess what...scripted. Whenever they need to bring up a certain thing they call the function and grab the one they want out of the library. If parent-mode is what would happen if you just hit spacebar 3 times for questionable cinematics - done. Super easy. Takes such an incredibly low effort it is kind of funny hearing people who don't know anything about technology talk about it like they need to be a crusader for the product when ignorance is driving the defense - if they develop that, they wont develop my stuff! and they probably will make my stuff lamer if they want THEIR business too!
What if I told you they already had parent-mode developed, it just isn't visible on the menu right now because theyre M-testing. You'd sound pretty dumb, and the developers of this game would be ashamed of you. I'd stay in your lane as far as trying to dictate what Larian or WotC are trying to do with their customer base and what their needs are. EA is to hear feedback - right now youre trying to silence it. You are actively spiking the wheel of those companies in direct opposition to what they are requesting from their loyal fans. Id think about that before you decide youre the perfect archetype of their customer base and begin judging people on their standard deviation units away from your perfection.
Its a reasonable request, its not a hard request, other amazing games have done it, its feasible, it doesnt change anything, it doesnt alter future content, it doesnt cost more money.it doesn't delay the game....just stunning that you cant separate a game function from some kind if bizarre bias you are showing on what you think healthy human relationships are.
