Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Polyamourus Romances?

I'm starting to think this is 101% a bit

You sure seem to be offended about it enough to harass me about it. Can you just admit that you might be bias against poly bisexual women and hetero men? Calling "playersexuality" a "dubis concept" to try to prevent more people from being able to enjoy something sounds really sus and cringe, like you embrace hurtful gender and sexuality stereotypes created by our oppressors.

Polyamours gender egalitarians :1 , Biphobic misandrists: -101

Yup. Try "Poe's Law" as a username next time

“The Red Queen” is one of this forum’s moderators. One of the three champions of the Larbsolute, if you will.

Also, before anyone starts slinging accusations towards anyone, we may need to wait some time before we know what is and is not possible with the romance mechanics in this game. Let the dust settle first.

My only concern with this is that I STILL can’t choose between Shadowheart and Karlach over 32 hours in because reasons. I don’t need anything additional, but I was looking for a way out of my choice paralysis.

I am being entirely sincere and have no problem with queer men, trans people and furies however they are not my preferences and am not bothered with their inclusion in BG3. I just want to know why Silver seems bothered by the idea of a male Tav being able to a threesome with Shadowheart and Karlach, the two most popular female characters, because it seems they have a problem with polyamory, heterosexual men and bisexual women...

The problem is, that you use the term polyarmoury wrong. It is not about a threesome with anyone, it is when a person loves more than one and is in a relationship with more than one person. The others are ok with that, but don't engage necessarily sexually with each other, because they are tolerant, but not necessarily sexually attracted to each other. So what you want, is a simple threesome, not polyarmoury.

yeah what fylimar said Poly is not your Threesome.

For the people interested:
- you can romance both SH and Halsin.

SH seemingly has a problem with Karlach in particular (or it's bugged/people did it wrong). You're not a throuple in this case. Threesomes appear to not be in the game at all, claims of discrimination against straight men (and curiously not lesbians) notwithstanding.

Weirdly enough, Karlach might be strictly monogamous after she's cured. That could be the problem (not SH). I still can't find enough info on Karlach's final ending and proclivities. You can romance both SH and Karlach for a time, but not forever. SH will break it off with you and not meanly.

Lae'Zel or Jaheira and SH might work, which is... 3/4 women. Unknown

Are you really trying to turn this around on me and implied I have a problem with lesbians? All I want is a FANTASY RPG in 2023 to be as inclusive and fluffing in its relationships as possible so as many players can enjoy it as possible.

Why all the hate against me and the idea of threesomes? The romantic characters are coded as pansexuals which is great but the idea of three people enjoying sex together is somehow taboo? Why?

Okay, OP said polyamorous when they meant threesome, I think we all get it now. Let the person want their threesome lol.

Okay, I'm with you on the whole 'Everyone should enjoy the game'.

But can you please stop saying they are Pansexual? Because they aren't. They are Player-sexual.

They aren't coded to be Gay, they are coded to have no gender, and there is no flag in the game that give them an orientation.

If there is a limitation, it seems to be toward how many you can romance and that has nothing to do with one orientation.

Polyamorous is also not a Threesome. A threesome is most often wanting to have sex with more than 1 person. Poly is a different thing altogether.

As for the whole 'Taboo' thing, it is not really taboo. But when you use the words 'Pansexual' and '3-some' you just walked on the whole old 'Stigma' thing that many don't like because it is untrue. Back in the days, Bisexual peoples were called 'Undecided', 'They just want to have 3-some' which isn't true.

So, just say you want a 3-somes because the characters are player-sexual.

They don't become Bisexual by Magic, or Lesbian or anything like that.

I'm not even for a minute going to pretend you're not a troll and going to ignore you henceforth

Yeah, he is a troll. If you try to correct his wording, you get cryptic Wikipedia articles linked. I'm going to ignore that too now.

You are al being gatekeeping bigots, implying polygamous people don't have threesomes.
