Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Larian, please ensure you don’t take away player agency with AA in patch 7

I think it's unnecessary to ask the posters, who disagree with this suggestion, so many questions and have an endless debate, some people have already given their reasons. Some of us do not want to talk about this again and again. People have given Feedback already (including the OP) in the last months and in different threads and channels. Players have stated here, that they don't want to have this sensitive scene (nonconsensual) in the game (not with a toggle and not with flags where you can then come across it unintentionally, as often suggested here by a person) and each individual who is against it has their own reason. Why is this constantly being questioned, everyone has the right to reject a suggestion of another player and say so. The decision is Larian's.

An interchangeable scene of a BDSM / Kink with an SV scene, separated only by a toggle or flag, is disrespectful and dangerous for the BDSM community and brings it into disrepute, can fuel prejudice and hatred towards us, so I don't want that.
The changes of a consenting kiss scene (prepatch 6) into non-consenting (patch 6) turns Astarion into a


in that specific scene, which wasn't there before, when asking for a kiss. A lot of People here have stated on the last pages, that they do not want personality changes in Astarion (or in that specific scene.) The fact, that some may see it otherwise, doesn't change the fact, that those people don't want it.

There are women* among us, who are affected by


don't question people, who are affected by this, why they may not want to have this scene in the romance path or why they may not want to have a toggle or flags for keeping this:

I and others have stated here: We do not want this suggestion of a toggle or flags to keep a sensitive scene and depiction of (see above) in the game. Again, everyone has their own opinion and different reasons. And some of us don't want to be questioned by this again and again, it's unpleasant for some of us. Some people agree with this suggestion, some people disagree with this suggestion - Larian decides to go with whatever they think is appropriate, what the majority wants or whatever reason they may have then. Thank you.

Edit: *Some of the victims I know don't want to come to the forum and / or talk about their personal life and feelings themselves in public, they just "cannot" do this. I hope it's understandable. And there are also very obvious reasons. Others have spoken out in the past months already, why they don't want this non-consensual scene, and cannot or don't want to do this again - for reasons.
Edit to Elly below: "It could also be argued that(...)" - Again, you questioned my disagreement. I disagree with this suggestion. These were my reasons. Point.
