Repeating back what was just said but from the other side of the argument seems to be a theme of this thread. I don't think it accomplishes anything. You're agreeing with her.
Yeah. Lol. I got used to repeating what others said because for said others - not Niara - I wasn't sure how else to explain what I was saying to them.
I agreed with most of what she said, but not all.

*tongue in cheek* Truly? Would you now? Well, consider me surprised and corrected ^.^ (Might want to swap your 'I's and 'you's I suspect, hehe)
Quite honestly, I've been accused of many things on this forum including that I'm a hypocrite, a liar, a totalitarian, a Puritan, etc. Whatever. I'm not playing games or trying to be a frustrating jerk here either. I'm really trying to find the middle ground because I really want to finish this game.
I literally wrestled for months with my initial purchase of BG3 BECAUSE of this topic. Because BG3 was advertised as having sex scenes and a mature rating, I literally decided to play Neverwinter Online when EA for BG3 first began. I wanted to play BG3, but I settled for the other because it was clean with no sex or nudity. I also bought Solasta for the same reason.
But BG3 looked so freaking awesome, and I was going crazy because I really wanted to play it. I was even playing through BG1 and 2 and Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 and Icewind Dale to try to satisfy the itch - a little here and a little there - doing everything I could to NOT buy BG3 and literally all because of the sexual content.
In the end, I caved, hoping and praying the content wouldn't be blatant or too graphical. Thankfully, it wasn't and the naughty scenes were locked behind a definite trigger... Except the bugbear and ogre bit, which was not TOO bad. I mean, I was thoroughly disgusted by the scene, but at least I wasn't seeing them literally doing it and I have never triggered that scene again.
And yes, even now, I fear that EA is where my BG3 adventure will end. No matter how much I have loved it, I will drop it if they throw naked whatever at me with full on penis on screen in some perverted manner, or topless women or explicit sex or stripper bars I have to enter and can't avoid etc.
I almost stopped playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake because of the Honey Bee stuff and Don Corneo, and the original game and KOTOR have ranked Top 2 for most of my adult life.
Anyway, my point is that this is a very serious issue for me, and I'm not alone. Hence there has been numerous people on this forum since EA began who have been very upset by the sex scenes, some PMing me and thanking me for standing up and putting myself out here for ridicule and mockery.
I might be in the absolute 0.5% on this thread and forum, but I'm a part of a much bigger percentage of audience than that outside this thread. You just don't encounter them because they either haven't bought the game or they have but they don't participate in these forums.
But whatever. The point remains as you stated. If they just provide the dang option to censor the game, fade to black, blur out naughty bits, OR something, that would pretty much satisfy a vast majority, including the fan group I fall into.
