BG3 is that renaissance, it's that necessary push to display sexuality fully and unbashfully. And like Mortal Kombat, there's bound to be resistance to exploring those areas. But 10 years from now, we'll be looking at BG3 as one of the games that help normalize sexuality in games, and Larian deserves a round of applause for that.
In 10 years people will roll their eyes at BG3 for making every publisher add badly made sex plots in their game the same way Mass Effect formularized romances are seen today.
You mean like how every game has add badly made sex plots in their game already thanks to Dragon Age and Mass Effect?
Or how every game has full nudity already thanks to Witcher series?
Oh wait... None of those things had any major impact on game design...
I find it utterly remarkable that people think that BG3 is somehow going to become the basis for every RPG made from today onwards. When it isn't even the first game to do anything that is supposedly genre defining from it... (It's also not like DA:O, ME2 and Witcher 3 weren't GotY contenders so you can't say that it's because BG3 is well received and other games were niche indie titles)
The only thing that BG3 has done that's truly unique... Is the Bestiality scene. Which is unlikely to be picked up by other studios (Maybe Witcher might, it's not like Geralt hasn't slept with all manner of beasties... Though they tended to take the form of sexy ladies as opposed to animals)
