The things is as i pointed to, even if you remove the more direct intended romance related sex stuff... BG3 will end up mature rated, and that is the simple fact that as the tech has advanced, everything gets more grafical... that nude pixely or scantely dressed, that pixely combat back in BG... and if you just bascially aply same advanced grafics on same models back then, and aply it in BG3... you end up with a extremly more grafical game forsome, and thats not couse Larian want to or put more effort into this... its simply couse everything gets more grafical as the tech has advanced...
And considering the BG verse and all the evil that exist in it... a grafical pixel penis, should be the least of peoples worry... you have evil rituals that sacrifice and damn people to servitude in hell, rasism, slavery, and the list goes on, the mere fact we have things in the verse by its very definition is evil, you ought to think that moral people have more to object to, then a pixel penis thats not real... but hey here we are 19 pages in... still debating... so even if the direct romance(sex) stuff be removed, or blurred you still end up with the plain fact as grafics advance EVERYTHING gets more grafical
The advances of grafics and making things more life like, also makes it harder for people to see things as not real, and subsequently they start to drag real life morals into games, on the basis they cant deal with it... so as i said earlier, the problem isnt the grafics in all its form... its you me and others not being able to treat them as pixels...
PS so many time reading this thread i get this mental image of a pleasure demon/devil or nymph dressed in a burkha, i was going to write something witty and cheeky but, yea lol... im just laughing at it at thispoint !
Cant agree more to what Eye said, be nice to people, but do beat up their arguments...
