No im not... a person want to make a change and expressed his displeasure of that things get more grafical... and yes they are getting and are portrayed more grafical... but that is done across the board, EVERYTHING is more grafical... so as stated and as the complained been, their upset couse certain scenes related to romance is grafical... yes of course their grafical, that is again couse the advancement of the tech... chopping people with a sword is significantly more grafical in how it shows violence...
So again what was once pixely combat is now more grafical... what was once pixely romance, is now more grafical... and most of all its not REAL, its part of a fantasy setting for adults... if people acctually treated it as such and stopped trying to make it real, it be less of a deal... pixels i still pixels, grafical or not... and that goes back to what i stated earlier...
this is the core of the problem... -"the problem isnt that it is grafical fantasy in all its forms, the problem is some not being able to handle it as fantasy !"
Throughout this thread you seem to be repeating the same point about improved graphic capabilities in Baldur's Gate 3. I am interpreting your argument to be that because video game graphics are improving, it makes sense for romance, violence, etc. to be shown more explicitly. In this argument you are making the assumption that older games did not show sex due to graphics limitations instead of a fade to black being an intentional decision by the writers.
All cutscenes should serve a purpose. They should be communicating something about the player, the companions, the world, etc. However, the sex scenes in Baldur’s Gate communicate very little that was not already covered in previous scenes. This lack of purpose is compounded with the issue of them being poorly animated and choreographed, making the end product hilarious.
Oftentimes in violence or sex scenes you don’t need to be shown anything explicit in order to understand more about the characters/world/whatever. Take this scene:
I don’t know if this is still in the current game but I’m using it as an example anyways because it illustrates my point. All of the major hits to the tiefling are not shown on camera. After he goes down (with a little tiny splash of blood) the hits to him are shown off camera. The parts of his body that would be disfigured/broken (his head) are covered by the foliage. This is still a violent scene but the writers/animators were intentional in how they conveyed this moment. Players do not need to see someone’s disfigured face to understand the gravity of what just happened. Just like how players don’t need to see Minthara blowjob to understand that drow are sexy or whatever. I don’t actually know what the writers are trying to communicate in the Minthara sex scene besides that drow are sexy and Minthara should step on them.
Anyways what I’m trying to say is no matter how good the graphics, there is often no need for explicit sex scenes as they very rarely communicate anything meaningful about the characters or story. If sex scenes started including important character moments then maybe it’d be different.
