That M rating cannot stop 7th graders from viewing anything and everything that's going on in the world, who in turn share it with elementary schoolers.
That footage will be seen period. What's worse, Dismemberment, blinding, and torture because its "fun"; "Here you try!". If anyone thinks that if you commit such acts in a game,
that it will not effect you in real life, you are pitifully ignorant.
Now I am an adult. I bought the game, I can navigate it, and can use my own good judgment to make a good play through and enjoy what just might be my last ever video game.
There is nothing to praise Larian for, as this genre appears dead. All their hard work? Seriously? There best efforts I will never see, because it certainly wasn't made for me.
Any D&D series I played was about having the tools to stop evil, not become it. What I saw in the Shar cultist scene, made the Manson family look like the Brady Bunch family
picnic, and Sven is laughing maniacally. "Hey, lets go kill Jaheira and the Harper's, cuz they aren't fun". The man has made a trip round the bend, and ain't commin back.
What a bizarre post.
Firstly you should probably avoid personal disparaging remarks about the head of the company whose forum you're posting on. It's in poor taste.
Secondly, you clearly haven't played many D&D games as even as far back as BG 1 and 2 you could go completely evil and do some heinous things. In Wrath of the Righteous you can be a lich or even worse a swarm who consumes everything including his/her former comrades. In NWN Mask of the Betrayer you could be a soul eater who consumes the very souls of sentient beings, lorewise a fate worse than death by an order of magnitude. Going evil has been an option in these types of games for a long, long time.
You'll be able to play a goodie goodie, calm your knickers mate.
Bizarre?
My logic is irrefutably sound. Kids are tech savvy, see everything, and emulate the behaviors they see. What planet do you live on?
I have no allegiance to Sven. He was banned from Tik Tok for a reason, again my reasoning is not from some bizarre island.
Not played BG1 and 2? I don't recall such a backlash from ANY D&D title before, and if so, not like this. On a number of fronts actually. Larian clearly doesn't have the pulse of the community.
This forum has few posters and for every complaint here you can be assured there are proportional number of like minded players in the community.
There are millions of fans do the math.
Just calling someone bizzare is not an argument and quite lazy. If "goody goody" means I understand right from wrong than I own it.
Finally this isn't about me. I work with autistic kids (of all kinds). Even the non-verbal intellectual disability kids are surprisingly intuitive.
Sven aired his crap publicly. Things that should have stayed locked behind choice walls. Hell I didn't want to see such childish nonsense.
