D&D has always taken greater inspiration from Conan the Barbarian and other pulp fantasy stories than Lord of the Rings. It's not Christian. It was explicitly the target of a smear campaign by Christians. I'm glad Larian is leaning into its roots and making a fantasy world that actually feels real. If I were thrown into this scenario and thought I could die any minute and was given the opportunity to hook up with a hot companion, I would absolutely do it in a heartbeat, and anyone honest with themselves would as well. The only reason previous generations of games didn't include sex was a combination of graphical limitations and censorship. We don't need to go backwards in progress when it comes to art. Enough of the Hayes code and Comics Code Authority. If that repells certain ideological segments of the population from playing the game, then good. I want an RPG that will really let me stretch my legs in the kind of content I can enjoy.
