Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General No middle ground?

I wouldn't consider "spanking" Arabella or some other suggestions you've made to be middle ground but I think I get what you're trying to say xD

And I agree. I've also felt some missing options here and there. I've mentioned this in the thread Thoughts after year away from EA but since it fits this thread, I'll copy-paste some parts that are pertinent here, paraphrase others. I hope that's ok.

Indeed, we are sometimes prompted with options that are very black and white.

Here are two examples of this occurring in dialogues with Astarion.


All options feel invasive to me.
How about adding at least one option that respects boundaries by just saying something like "Alright. As you wish/prefer/like."
It's possible to do so with the others. Why not here?


1. and 2. are the type of response an overly-eager hero or a walking-teddybear would give. That's too much even for my good characters.
3. It's just too sadistic for me to pick this. Although sometimes in my head I change the word "funny" to "fun", so it makes it ok to pick...Because adventuring is fun. Idk. I don't like those prompts ok x) ?

I would love
- More neutral/gray answers (not talking about the alignement) : it would be nice to have options that don't show all our cards, or turn us into an open book, or force us to choose between being a doormat or a sadistic prick.
- More humorous answers (think Purple Hawke in DA2) : it would be nice to have sarcastic/quippy/funny options that aren't necessarily mean, sadistic or belittling.

With that in mind, one alternative for the second example : "True. Although, she did put the romance in necromance I guess".
