I just wish they would consider us adults gamer fans concerns as well, we are after all paying customers as well...

First of all, thank you for mentioning this. It is really frustrating if you take your time to write feedback, good feedback one put a lot of thought into, and there is literally no reply or another form of acknowledgement but at the same time, if you post something more...offensive in a horny way, they will more likely answer. This is the case for Larian Studios twitter as well as for some VAs and Larian members - basically most of the people involved in the game.

As for the choking, I feel like Larian really tried to see how far they could take things, like they included lots of stuff that you usually should double-check before adding it. Also, you should know what message you want to transport to your customers.
In BG3, we have BDSM, sodomy (even if the bear is thinking like a human) and even forced sodomy at the drow twins, SA / trauma, religious torture (against parents) and so on and most of the topics are not handled well or with the sensitivity that is needed.

I'm just afraid all this new success are getting to their head, that they're going to ruin it for themselves at one point. Maybe I'm wrong.

To my understanding, if you release a game in Early Access, you not only want money but you want the feedback, that's the fuel for future improvements. There have been lots of things people (including me) loved in EA that totally got changed in the release. Larian knew what people wanted to see more of but they removed or replaced said content with new stuff (looking at EA Halsin, who got a complete rewrite or Minthara, who you thought would play a huge role and they treated her dirty in the release).
I feel the same as you, chances are they are trying to feed just a part of the playerbase, which is the lound, young, horny part that's spamming X (and other platforms) with mostly headcanon stuff that's fueled by their own sexual fantasies.

Thank you!! It's nice to know I'm not completely nuts in feeling like this lol, knowing that there's others who feels the same way is reassuring.

I never played bg3 in early access so I can't speak to that but I've heard from others how a LOT of great content have been removed, especially from Halsin and Wyll and this shows greatly in the game since they have much less content than the rest, Minthara too. What bothers me most is not putting things in or adding things or fixing the game, it's the CONSTANT replacement of them, the game should be out of early access by now, at least that's how I understood it when purchasing it for my ps5, so replacing the content in it shouldn't be allowed if it were up to me.
