To be fair, it doesn't seem to me that you guys are discussing how well the various romance interactions are written, just your fantasies on how would you like to "punish Shadowheart" or "master Lae'zel".
As long as the moderator says its okay with the forum rules it is also fine by me but don't try to hide and accuse others to be intolerant if they find it creepy, because it is.
Try to join a discord voice chat about any videogame and start saying random "oh yeah, I really want to BDSM *charactername*, that noughy girl ;)" and see the reactions.
So yeah, people could just ignore this thread instead of commenting but don't deny the fact that this was not the most adequate place where to post erotic roleplay.
Peace!
I wonder if you've experienced the romance scenes. Lae'zel's is pretty on the nose with dom/sub elements. It's not something just being invented. It's literally part of the game when it comes to interacting with her like that. So that makes me think there's some dissonance or unwillingness to recognize what's there and is why I linked the article I did.
There is a very adult, explicit aspect to this game and Larian isn't being shy. At all. In the slightest. On the contrary, they're being quite bold with it. I think folks like you will have to find a way to reconcile that, but that's not mine or other's responsibility.
I have no problem with adult content, on the contrary, I appreciate it in a videogame since it helps portraiting things more realistically. I was only saying that it's not correct to accuse people of being "bigots", "puritans", "intolerants" etc just because they find cringe to see people discussing their sexual fantasies on the general section of a videogame forum.
Because, as I said, you people weren't discussing technical or artistic aspects of the romance, just read the first 4 posts of this thread.
As I mentioned before, I have no problem with this thread personally, the things that scandalise me are others, I just felt the need to point out that one doesn't need to be a bigot to find this conversation out of place.
I think folks like you will have to find a way to reconcile that, but that's not mine or other's responsibility.
Please, do not presume to know me or what should be good for me. I never address anyone personally, I just "defended" people being called intolerant for no real reason, at least in my opinion.
Thanks
