Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General It's a little late for that, but why make the Tiefling kids so disgusting

The real world has taboos against animal sex, and other depraved and evil things.

I also don't think outrage sources like Fox News, the right, or the left dictate my life.

I have played games which gave the option to kill children like Fallout. You know what? I never chose to do so even in my 'evil' playthroughs and the roleplaying and the game was the better for it since I made the choice not to.

The game is supposed to be about choice and roleplaying your character. They brag about playing evil and doing awful things and being good. This lack of choice limits my ability to do the good thing.

Also, one thing I've learned over the years, there are almost zero people who would not buy a game over something 'killing children' or 'bear sex' or some other 'social taboo' that were going to buy jt, anyways.

The outrage machine would not buy or play this game. Afterall, it's a choice. If you dint want to kill children which I do not, I can choose not to. If someone wants to be evil and depraved, they can. Afterall, you can roleplay a Lloth worshipping drow, and guess what, drow murder children as a matter of course.


But, in the end, it is what it is. The outrage machine wins again even though it did not stop games like ME, GTA, FO just for starters to be successful. Imagine that. People who weren't going to buy or play in the first place had little affect on them.
