The Emperor dialogs did not go the way I thought they should, and the sex scene diverted away from what could have been a very poignant conversation.
Not reading through this whole thread, because there�s too much of the same old �homophobic� without actually saying what�s homophobic.
That was the main ask about the original content, and it was never explained by anyone with some kind of logic/rationale.
By sexually harassed � which is the bodily groping I mentioned � I mean that which is illegal and disgraceful, whether it�s a man doing it to a man, or a man doing it to a female. I�ve been through the �man doing it to a man� thing, several times.
I never even went on a rant about it in the original post. But it�s not �homophobic� to say that physical violation is criminal evil. Gay men have absolutely 100% authority to walk up to me and ask me for a date. That�s called �civil�.
I�ll reject, but have obviously no issue with it.
I quote the dude above to confirm I feel the same way.
They could�ve easily made a great narrative from the emperor�s �condition�, in that he�s still capable of human thought despite looking like a freak. It�s The Fly in the Forgotten Realms.
But unlike that film, everything is so rushed in BG3�s narrative that it never develops organically, and ends up being another �wtf� moment, among many, because they�re trying to tell 1000 different stories at once.
Even the synopsis of the original BG3 story, The Black Hound, knocks this hyperactive tripe out of the water. It�s confident in its lowkey yet intriguing premise. And I would�ve loved to have played that game, as I loved the brilliance of BG1 and BG2.
PS: shout out to Raze who reversed the �ban�, which was unfairly applied for many provable reasons. This dude is a shining example of what Larian used to be, and could be again � pretty fucking cool.
