It is clear as day as well! I thought there was some pun intended regarding the unfinished content being bad. I mean, OBVIOUSLY it is bad because it is unfinished. It is just you've started your post with the word "problem".

It is a problem; it is a problem and it needs to be addressed.

So many thoughts here so many points to think about but.... At the end of the day two things will surface from all of this I think. We are all players here and most I would think are early access players. We have paid for the privlage of playing the game in it's raw form, helping find bugs and giving the team's the ability to shape the game to what "we the players and fans" are looking for in the final release. So Assuming (yes i know I shouldn't) that we are all adults here, Relationships in games like this are honestly few and far between for me, I have yet to see a solid non porn made game that has the great game play, great characters and ability to shape our characters world that this has the potential to be. If Larian are willing to build and put in the time for a somewhat realistic relationship within BG3 then I am willing to see where it goes and support what they do. If you dont want to see nudity, that is fine and fair and a switch to option to disable that is easy, But Please do not deny those players who want to push the boundaries of all aspects of this game from doing just that. How would you feel if you build your Bard/Warlock/Barbarian only to find that some other players didn't like the cleave feature, The ability to provide inspiration or to cast hex via twining) so they nerfed it or removed it all together ?

Sadly it really upsetting to see how many people are just like eww SEX, listen if your not 18 plus you shouldnt even be playing this game and if your 18 plus why you shaming one of the most natural act of being human... it make no sense if you have a issue with sex dont play M game, especially don't play game that are base off such act either. but that beside the point i think as someone who enjoy being able to do a lot in a game that nudity is fine there nothing shameful or eww about it. The ability to fully flesh out a romance or relationship in a video game is nice it give meaning and character to your playthrough. Sensual sex is one of the core things in love making in the first place you dont just shove it in and think it alright you play, you feel, you enjoy each other bodies and then you go further. the fact so many people here have issue with oh Sensual scene or i dont want to see a penis or vagina is dont right not ok if you dont want to see it then all you have to do is use the No nudity opition enjoy the scene with no sexual preference that your choice.

Seriously Larian if your reading this at one point dont take what these ignorant people say just add a no nudity opition and if they grow up in time they can turn it back off for those who will enjoy your game please have fun with us and do as you please we cant wait for the game release!!!

Moving on to the goblins and harpy and orge nudes mod i think it fine, in fact i think it be cool to have a goblin romance, we have halfling romances and dwaref and gnome why not have goblins if you decided to play evil why not have a harpy lover orge i mean if you like big bone women or big women or males in general why not i dont think we get Scene for Orge of course but still why not enjoy versatility of gaming i think it fine. i mean shoot evil playthrough aside i think it fun just not flesh out as much as say doing a good route which is a little ugh in my part. but still there nothing wrong with Sex with sentient beings to think otherwise is you shaming the act of sex.

That’s just unnecessarily rude. I’m not sure which posts you’re referring to, but there have been a variety of different preferences expressed as to whether and how the game should represent sex and numerous reasons given for them, none of which I’ve seen have anything to do with sex or genitalia being icky or shameful. You seem to have a preference for inclusion of explicit sex scenes in the game, and of course you’re entitled to your view but so is everyone else without their views being insulted or misrepresented.

Given that your suggestion - ie include (well executed) explicit scenes for those that want them but give those who don’t the option to skip the most graphic bits - seems to be the one most endorsed in this thread, your tone seems particularly unwarranted.

I haven't caught up on comments past yours, so it may have been addressed, but other games do have much more subtle, much more player-consensual romance, eg POE2 Deadfire, where there are dialog options blocking the romance paths, and that's ish the case here, but with much less subtlety.

Colin,

Glad for the update. I have by no means played every game out there. That said there seem so many here just against the raw reality of as someone put it "SEX" style graphics in the game.

Has ANYONE at all said "ew, gross, sex"? All the comments I've seen is how ridiculous it's going to look, the wasted development resources on something that will look stupid/meme worthy, and the complexities of having animations with different races/sizes/etc.

I know it's tempting to create strawman arguments and defeat those, but at least try to attack what people are actually saying.

Wanted to be extra nice, but since you haven't been...

I think it's safe to assume most of us here are adults and have had some prior experience with sex. Don't recall a single person here against including sex and/or nudity, but the way it is/will be included because we saw it, we done it and yet still cringe hard when we see two pixelated people do something that is supposed to be fun while clipping through each other, making strange facial expressions and doing things that should not be possible be it due to character height or gravity.

That must have been one of the longest sentaces I have ever written, and still not as embarrassed as seeing most sex scenes in video games.

Exactly.
If we do not get dragonborn, this scenes are probably the reasons why.
Not only because they require extra work to create but also because of the expected social impact when people starts screaming "furry" which might get even picked up by media with a agenda (aka, FOX).

Ha! Considering that in D:OS2 Larian made lizards “the sexy race”, I think it will be right up their alley.

Not really. Its one think to have dialogue lines in the game, but having graphic implied (as far as the BG3 scenes imply) scenes is something completely different.

As I said, the term "furry" gets thrown out a lot today, especially as FOX and other right wing media started a campaign to equate furry with LGBT in order to attack diversity ect. So now having pretty graphic scenes between lizards and (near) humans is something that might make BG3 a target for media.

And on the other side, dragonborn would need their completely own scenes. For example you can't reuse any kiss scene with them because of their snout and most other scenes will likely also not work because of their anatomy. Granted, you have the same problem with size differences, but its still possible to reuse one set of animations for all small races.

Asking for a spoiler here, is there a way to actually save Sazza?

From Minthara? You can persuade her to spare Sazza I think.

I didn't think the Minthara scene was *that* bad. It's EA so of course they will polish things. I love that games are more open with romance, nudity and yes, sex scenes. I hope Larian keeps doing what they were doing.

We still only have one fully rendered sequence, which is Minthara's, unless Larian sneakily put in more full sequences without me noticing somehow.

Gale's and Wyll's are definitely still "Under Construction" and Shadowheart's full sequence is apparently there (as it was before) but of course doesn't include sex.

Haven't tried Astarion this patch, or Lae'zel at all yet.
