just seeing a lot in the last few day that's making me shake my head and say, "what the %$%^$ is this world coming to"
Fortunately, all we need to worry about here is what BG3 is coming to.
We can leave the state of the world for another day and another place
Or unfortunately. By the way, is it forbidden on the forums to talk these kind of themes? I don't see how it violates the rules. The feelings Doomlord has are drawn from the change directly connected to BG3. Imo, too much policing of freethinking and self-expression won't do the forums any good. I also feel deeply uncomfortable on a fundamental, emotional level about the tonal shift in gaming industry and other media and marketing during the past many years. I am trying to adapt but it just doesn't stop, world is running somewhere I am not sure we can run at such speed. This particular topic with equalizing the races in a computer game is just a grain of sand in the vast desert of little changes that are pushed to the consumer, seemingly harmless, one by one, then one day you wake up in the different reality. And boy I am not sure this reality will be a better one. I hope so.
Edit: A little more on the topic. I really, really hope that Larian Studious give us, their players, options. It is crucial that some of the changes to the beloved material are optional. If they only leave their new system with discounted races, no stat rolls, no racial stat, then for me it'll mean that they are standing behind one particular group of players with some selfish intent while discrediting the needs of all others. Here I saw a lot of players post that they are not content with the possible changes and it should matter to the developer, unless it turned into a corporate machine or is acting for some agenda. I am not asking them to drop their changes, but I think it'd be fair to let people choose.
