Of course it's "the controversy". It's 2022. People and companies get canceled in hate campaigns people just love to snowball. Guilt or innocence doesn't even matter, your reputation is damaged anyway when accusations are made hugely public. The power of social media..yay. This thread already proved how strongly people react without knowing the facts.
Or maybe they just need a younger voice?
What I am concerned about, however, is Larian messing up Boo as a finely balanced mirror of a benevolent but deranged man's psyche and making him an actual space hamster with some stupid anime scene where he goes supersaiyan and kills 15 enemies. For me that would be ruining a great nuanced character for a cheap giggle. I hope I'm vastly underestimating Larian, but I've seen too much childish meme stuff already.
Also concerned about how they're going to explain why these epic level characters are suddenly low level again. Or if they even bother trying.
#1: I think its extremely unlikely that they'll mess up Boo, and yes you are seriously underestimating Larian.
#2: A few theories are going around that (a) he'll be high level when you meet him because you probably won't encounter him until late into Act 2 or (b) something in his past (like the petrification or the insertion of a Mind-Flayer Tadpole) has caused him to lose some of his previous levels.....or maybe it'll be some combo of the 2.
