So I just joined up to post my concerns about the new patch (mainly), I tried airing them on "X" (it's still Twitter to me) and Facebook but "X" is a chess pool with teens who are into bdsm and Facebook isn't much better, problem isn't that Larian isn't listening or replying to fans either, problem is that they're only replying to fans (in the same manner back) who are posting obnoxiously gifs and well.... bdsm stuff I guess..... at least on "X". I just wish they would consider us adults gamer fans concerns as well, we are after all paying customers as well...
Before anyone misunderstands me and potentiallyjump my throat..., I absolutely LOVE BG3 and Larian for creating the game of my dreams, it's truly a marvel and it's something I've waited for several years, no other company has managed this, so a BIG thank you ??
Now to why I started this post....:
I like many other women (and men) love a manly man who is dominating, who can take charge in the bedroom and be a little rough but believe me on this there's a HUGE difference between being a little dominating and being ABUSIVE! Now I've tried both! There's nothing wrong with enjoying a man who is a bit rough, after all he can control himself but an abusive man CANNOT! There lies the difference.... what is wrong with the new patch and Astarion kiss animation is the choking, it's promoting abuse, that abusing your partner is a good thing especially during sex and these young teens are already hooked because of this movie 50 shades of gray thing that started the trend and now they start to see "woooow, seee choking IS okay and HOT", it's NOT. Call me what you will but like I said I'm not a prude I'm also into a guy who can be a bit rough but I've also been with an abuser and choking is not okay, no one can change my mind on that. Tav looks scared as she is getting murdered, now why in the hell would Larian do this? Promote such a thing? I've always Ascended Astarion because I liked his dark side, it was perfect, just enough dark but also a bit witty, now it's directly ABUSIVE and it's completely ruined, his whole character is ruined for me, I can't even stand to look at him.
Anyway that's my thoughts I needed to air.
