... As a developer, I can tell you that animations and cutscenes are guess what...scripted...
... 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. ...
... 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....
Unless you are a Larian developer working on BG3, your remarks are pure guesswork and appear to be closing down debate every bit as much, more so in fact, as Deventh's post.
Adding additional features is obviously going to take time and resources. The game is rated 'M' and Larian have confirmed that they are happy with that rating. Why spend time and money developing a feature to reduce that rating when that is the rating the game has been marketed and will be released under? What kind of financial madness is it to increase your development costs for something that will not affect the final sales?
Unless the feature to turn the game into a child-friendly one is locked in place, the 'M' rating will stay. If it is M-rated then people know not to sell it to children, and that is not going to be changed by some toggle to turn it into a PG. As an example, look at the game
Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal. It had a toggle to allow an 'intimacy mode' but was still banned in Japan because the option was there to show the intimacy. Censors are not stupid, they do not let games through on lower ratings because of an option to tone things down voluntarily.
Yes, if such a 'child friendly' toggle has been developed then I will look silly. But, you know what? I'll take that chance.
