Well I might be starting a shitestorm but I want to bring this discussion up and see what comes out. I am going to use a specific point and not get into ALL of this so you can understand where I am coming from.
The other day I was bored and started another play through, decided it was time I put an effort into being dark, so I created a Drow Wizard. BTW if you do not know, even without CHR, a Drow anything is EASY mode for the early game. Goblins bow to me without any dialog effort. I went straight to Minthara to recruit her and we set off to kill the Tieflings.
After the Tiefling and Druids are all dead she tells me we will celebrate at camp by banging. (Wow barely in the game and already heading for a sex scene, arguably the easiest one in the game)
So we get to camp and away we go... What followed made me almost fall out of my chair laughing. In the "sex" scene you watch Minthara (male PC), direct your hand for her gratification, give obvious head, mount reverse cowgirl and then mount regular cowgirl, all with efforts to show movement. I am laughing because this looks like it was designed for 13 year olds to masturbate to. This is when I started thinking, why so much effort to create sex scenes in the game?
I mean we have major plot holes "no pun intended", bugs in play, parts of game removed for changes not really well thought out and so much more. Was there not more for the team to do than to script out graphics sex scenes for the rendering department?
This was made even more glaring to me when a buddy had me finally set down and play some Kingmaker. I get for companions, a fallen paladin want to be, a barbarian with an inferiority complex, a bard that acts like my little sister and a cleric for the God of the pessimists. Not a single sexual come-on, innuendo, or suggestion in site. Let me be clear I am not saying Kingmaker is better, BG obviously has way more polish. Yet I feel like at least in concept, Kingmaker tried harder for creating interesting NPCs.
So I ask the question here, did BG3 over do sexuality in the game? This is NOT about the type of sex or orientations, this is about sexualization of the game period.
Is BG3 over sexualized? single choice
