I'm glad you brought this topic to the fore. I must say, the idea of video game developers intentionally crafting their products to be "Let's Play" friendly bothers me for a reason I can't quite put my finger on...yet.

I don't even mind the game implying that they are doing naughty things, but I don't want to watch it unfolding in all its strange, awkward pixel horror glory.

There's also sex without romance. Hey, I'd be happy to see more personalities characterized by their erotic escapades in place of mindless violence; the Realms themselves are certainly fornication friendly (seriously: look it up).

Oh, I know there's plenty of naughty business in Forgotten Realms. I'm not saying it's outside lore or canon to include it. I just don't like it being so in my face. In the past Forgotten Realms CRPGs, I very much appreciated that it wasn't so front and center. If I chose to sleep with one of the characters in a romance, it faded to black. I knew what they did, I got the dialogue before and after, and I didn't have to watch naked pixel people doing it.

I don't like porn. I'd like it to not be in my video games. I try to avoid it. I also don't like swearing, but I put up with that too. If I didn't, I'd never play another video game in my life nowadays.

So, I'm not saying it doesn't make sense that sexual escapades happen in the game. I'm not saying that duergar should suddenly say things like, "Dum diddly. Darn doodly," instead of what they're saying currently. I'd just LIKE to have a censor feature that would cut out all this stuff so that I can play the game without it.

Again, just a suggestion. Not actually even expecting them to do it. I am just a firm believer of "ask and ye shall receive" and "the squeaky wheel gets the kick."

Can't believe I just put a Jesus quote together with a Minsc quote. 🤪
