I do agree - I think we are all aware that there will be people who view and receive this work in that way, and that it can very easily be taken out of context, etc., Out in the rest of the internet wilds, there isn't anything I, or anyone else, can do to convince them other wise or dissuade them from reacting as they''re going to; here at least, I can ensure that the thread for the analysis itself stays clear of that... but I probably did come down on Blackheifer a bit hard earlier, so I am sorry if you felt I was overly strict. I just want to keep those reactions out of this space - they're going to be free range anywhere else it gets discussed, and I'm fine with that.
I can absolutely acknowledge the concerns about how much effort and resource goes where, but I'm not content with them sacrificing one thing for another, when both are important (in my mind), so I'm going to keep pushing for them to do everything right and well. Unfortunately, Sozz raises a good point, in that, to be frank... Biting off more than they can chew has been the defining feature of Larian's development of this game; they promise the sky before they've even worked out how to deliver it. So... sadly, yes, there is a very real chance that the scene with Minthara is not something that they're going to actually manage to fix, nor continue delivering for every other intimate moment... and we may well end up with tasteful fade outs for everything else at final release, simply because it was more than they were actually ready to deliver. I hope not, but despite the work I'm doing, I still acknowledge that as a possibility. All of this is just so that they can do everything that they do manage, well.
To the topic at hand, within the partial scenes we were able to see before they took them back out of the game (or anything else that anyone else has seen in data mines or leaks, too), were there any common choreographies that we know for sure that Larian are using that I didn't actually cover? I thought about delving the dream sequences for things that need considered, but last I checked they were so broken that I couldn't even see what was going on half the time...
