I voted for the option “Leave in the game only the facial expressions of the character from patch 7”. I have already repeatedly given various arguments in favor of this position, and now I want to give one, in my opinion and personally for me the main reason why it should be so. Scenes that I will not characterize so as not to violate moderator requirements, but these scenes must have an official descriptor set by the ESRB, are unnecessary for a game like BG3. It's not in keeping with the game's rating. If Larian suddenly decided to agree to change the game's rating to AO for whatever their reasons, it could cause problems for console players. I emphasize, can, not guarantees. Nevertheless, Sony treat games with AO rating with rather low loyalty, such games, as a rule, when released, count on profits exclusively from PC players. All known games with AO rating are not available on consoles. Therefore, if the rating is increased, there is a risk that players on Sony consoles may lose the game altogether if Sony bans it on consoles (Sony will return the money to players in this case).
Totally agree with Zayir on the moral side of this issue.
I voted patch 7 because too much time and effort has been wasted in this tiny detail while other parts of the game are still in shambles, Wyll for example, and are much more in need for attention.
So just leave it as it is.
Thank you for a revealing example of a rational and unbiased opinion that most BG3 players would likely agree with. I'm willing to bet anything that most players, if asked, would answer in roughly the same vein as Ixal. There are tons of important issues players are interested in, there are tons of things in the game that need attention. Minthara, for example, needs attention, and has far more problems at the moment than Astarion.
