It's true, more or less. It might not be very precise, but I have a valid point. This is what happens when you obsess too much over a single character. I did research and, based on what I read through various links, media, videos, and so on, people are extremely limited and narrow-minded. 50% of folks obsess over Shadowheart and Astarion, 20% spend more time on the character screen than actually playing, and 10% argue on forums about who is more attractive or not. The remaining minority, 10%, actually progress and complete the game, immersing themselves in a rich fantasy world full of infinite wonders and choices. When I say play and progress I mean by it. People are unbelievably attached to their virtual characters as its real life. No matter how masterfully fashioned, voiced and presented they are , they are indeed still pixels.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, indeed. Let's start with Steam. If you look at the leaderboards of Global achievements 50% of players never went past Act II. 65% of players have not seen Baldur's Gate city yet. 30% of players never dug more than a few chests, which shows and proves their level of exploration of the world and care. I do not need to prove, By Nine hells, everything is out there. I m tired of getting idiotic Shadowheart, Astarion thirsty posts notifications whenever I go. Shocking beyond belief.
About Astarion His aristogay manner of speech and body language is grating on the ears and an eyesore. And his self-serving logic is dumb more often than not and Shadowheart with child voice and selfish fanatical cause is irritating as hell. He’s also thin,, charming, snarky, bisexual, morally ambiguous, tragic, drama queen who loves to do what he wants. It looks like a lot of women are turned by vampire and bitting, something is wrong in their heads. I strongly believe people who like certain personas in game can reflect in real life. They do act the same. This is pathetic. Guy has most irritating voice. He acts like child. He is not a man he is a child and a vampire. Looks like people love when things are reverted and more abnormal. These people are incredible, more people have achievement unlocked that Astarion bites you than seeing actual Baldurs gate city.
This is utterly disgusting. Everywhere I go, be it Steam, FB, Reddit, Instagram, every 2nd or 3rd post is about Astarion or Shadowheart. Is the BG community that limited , shallow and narrow-minded? Its unbelievable ,game has probably hundreds of thousands of lines with top notch writing and other aspects and people are blindly possessed with few things ? Of all things you can discover and see you have to be focused and centered about themI can't stand looking at these fantasies and drooling; it's so boring and dull. Keep it to yourself , at least control it or broaden your view and mind and do other things. It clearly shows a mindset and gamer attitude. It's not healthy, not only that, but it blinds you, it stupid , preventing you from seeing a vast amount of other content, characters, dialogue, and thousands of other variables. It takes only to sit down, observe, and read carefully. The perception of these people is abysmal. I quit all social media posts because of these memes, constant sexualizing, and almost scary obsession people have. It makes you dull. It lowers your IQ. it really does. Same thing over and over and over again. They are ruining characters. Shadowheart is a prime example. Cosplayers, so-called fans, and others are showing off the character as a slut; it's terrible. I'm sickened by it.
You want an absolute freedom. You can have it but you cannot take my way of expressing myself and sharing what I truly feel either. Its so sad and absurd. I feel I am in high school with bunch of horny teenagers drooling over same things and posting BS. BG3 is the best game ever made ravaged and twisted by their own fanbase because they cannot control their urges, random trolls and there is more but then it would take 15 pages. Its so stupid. I am amazed people have nerves and energy to look at same BS every day. How are you not getting bored. Where is your creativity level and ambition , it evaporated entirely. And yes, I have multiple characters, and I have finished the game. Plus, I'm a completionist, I take my time and I m not attached to some virtual pixeles as you do. It's my first post, and when I create one, I focus on details and try to post as much as I can. One of the finest examples of laziness within the community is the rejection of the Minthara character. It's not about whether you like her or not; it can be a decision, for sure. It's about not being willing to invest time and work a little bit to see the progression. People want everything easy and handed to them. When there is a barrier and more complex decisions, paf, they give up. You can attempt to twist things over and mask your true intents. This cannot be denied. There are armies and armies of people just as I described
I understand your point. But something you need to accept what I needed to accept to. Ppl hou are more close to the new media argenda what is present today they are way more louder. And they are way more socal platformly interactive. Because freedom of the speach is just one sided no one can say anything any more. And we need to tolerate everything.
In case you disagree you will find your self called out and samed by many. Even if those things what they say about you in not true. Making any kind of statement criticism is bad for your own health. At least I find it better to remain silent about a lot of things. Just because it's better for me.
So this is why they are actually the minority, hou became the majority. And they got and will get what they want. I have the feeling and the experience that developers don't want old true gold gaming experience nowadays. They want to adapt to the new generation. Ant let's be fair our younglings have an easy time. They don't need to fight for anything. So this is why games are getting easier and more socially tiktok Hollywood trendy.
