40% pretty cinematics, 40% gratuitous sex and nudity, 20% everything else
Forty percent sex and nudity? Really? I would estimate the time spent on sex in my playthroughs at a few minutes. Less than one percent. And that small time happened to be nature calling, so not gratuitous at all.
The amount of nudity … well that can vary. It is possible to have a high percentage of that, if you choose to display camp clothes and then remove the camp clothes. But that is up to the player.
Agreed. I think @Brainer's analysis is a good one but I feel uncomfortable when the conversation shifts into sex negative territory. I liked the romances - indeed I think the romances are the reason to play the game the main plot just is deeply flawed. And yes, I even liked that you could modify genitals. I mean my toon hasn't bathed in a month why would she take time to shave her nethers?
The sex is not to blame for the problems in the end game.
But I fear 'fixing the plot' is out of the question at this point. What should be possible is for Larian to learn from their mistakes, for their next games.
I fear you may be right but some small part of me hopes for a definitive edition or a director's cut.
Another optimistic part of me hopes that other companies will the real lesson BG3 - if you pack it with content, if you deliver everything but the kitchen sink fans will forgive anything. Even the deeply flawed "Orpheus is free" moment.
And, yes, if I'm being honest I never liked the whole mind flayer hook because I came to the game with prejudices from table top. I played lots and lots 2e and a little 3.0 and I never liked that that one type of save or suck monster needed expensive supplements to play properly and that they had powers that couldn't be countered by spells. And I just don't like body horror - extracting US makes me sick to my stomach.
