Ugh, I can't watch the Saw films. I tried to watch the first one, and just could not get through it. It was well done, but whoa, way too much for me.
Sexuality is important in story writing because it is a very basic source of character motivation. When the sexual aspects provide motivations for things to happen in the story, then I am happy. Sometimes you don't even need sex per se, and simple personal contact is enough ... I think of when Karlach can finally get a real hug. That scene was very well done. The circus dryad scene was very interesting in a similar way. I m glad Larian put those in. I wonder if the scene with the Emperor could have been better if the sex part was held back a bit, and if the focus was placed even more on intimacy and emotional connection?
