Well it looks like there's a hole history of something that triggered (pun intended) this thread. But now I'm curious. Are there exsisting games that display intra-game warnings, like suggested ? If they exist, are they more or less violent than BG3 ? ( I'm not a pro-gamer, but I have the impression that there are games outthere that are lots more violent.) Do the players of these games also require these warnings on fora ? Or is this just a campaign targeted at BG3 ?
I don't know exactly, what you mean. I certainly don't target BG3, since it is one of my favourite games of all time. The discussion came up in another thread and I was curious. But seeing, that it is a hot topic, I do regret it a bit.
I think most mature games have a content warning. I don't think, that there are trigger warnings in games, that would be pretty much destroying all immersion.
Ok, from the title of the thread and the first posts, it seemed to me that the question was whether it is necessary to add warnings inside of the game to steer players away from choices that might make them uncomfortable afterwards.
I skipped over most of the later back-and-forth posts (full of abbreviations that I don't have a clue what they mean anyway), but understood it's not just about feeling uncomfortable, but serious anxiety and mental problems. So that made me think, is there something special in BG3 that would require this ? Or are there other games outthere that have this feature and how does it work ?
BG 3 has motives of ( I put that in spoiler because of forum regulations)
It can be triggering if you have experienced it. I was asking if it would be helpful to put a trigger warning about that somewhere and there was a discussion, if that is necessary or not. Or if it would lead to have more trigger warnings. I think that the game made it clear, that there will be heavy topics from the rating, the trailers and even the infamous bear sex scene.
I personally am not easily triggered, since I do like horror too and weird stuff like The Boys ( which is one big trigger warning tbh), but there were a lot of discussions in the past, where people expressed discomfort, so I thought, I make a topic to talk about it. I used the Haarlep encounter as an example.
Edit: sorry didn't want to put everything in spoiler
