I think it should be clear by now why I have an interest in a game carrying a Baldur's Gate IP. And if game had no issues with the game, I wouldn't be hanging around the forums, would I.
I had gotten the impression from conversation that you weren't very familiar with the IP, but it's a moot point. The game is more than 20 years old at this point. It can legally by alcohol in the US. Anyone who played BG3 when they were young is mature enough to deal with an M rated game, and people who aren't old enough probably aren't going back and playing the originals, as they have mechanics that don't jive with modern sensibilities in gameplay.

It is also not necessary that a sequel to a game maintain it's ratings. Jak & Daxter is a perfect example of a game that decided that its sequels be more mature than the original, and became a more compelling series for it. You can call it edgy, but it's far more memorable to a lot of people who the story had a big impact on growing up that if the game had gone in a kiddie direction like the original it couldn't have done.

I think this is where I'm just going to dip out of the argument, because there really is no point in continuing. The game is quite close to being done, and I doubt Larian is going to remove an entire section of content because it makes some people feel "icky". The majority of players in any RPG usually pick the "good path" over the "evil path" simply because doing the evil path makes them feel bad, but that's no reason to remove the choice from the game, and would cheapen the experience if you were forced on rails to play the game one way. Most players likewise will likely pick their favorite companion and enjoy the sex scenes that come with them.

Goodnight.
