What were those personal attacks again? Are they in this room right now with us? Seems like you yourself try to make it personal in order to stray from giving cohesive arguments.
So, basically your point should have been made differently in order to be undisputable. The game's sales greatly benefited from its sexual themes yes, which have been in RPGs in the same explicit manner since DAO which was like almost 20 years ago? Sex is a big part of roleplay same as violence, commaradery, friendship and heroism since those are hard to get themes in a daily life. All of those themes are well established in BG3 and they all make up what you mentioned 'story, worldbuilding and characters'. Themes like 'overcoming an embedded insecurity', 'going against the grain', 'choosing the lesser of two evils', 'living up to the ideal', 'denying reality', 'finding purpose', 'blind faith', 'racial conflict', 'freedom of speech', 'conformity', 'what makes us human', 'collective vs individual' etc etc are present in characters and the world (hope you don't need me to pinpoint what characters / world events correlate with those timeless themes, or else I would think you haven't even finished the game). The general consensus is that this is a great role playing game on all fronts (yet flawed on some, I don't like toilet chain as well) and its success cannot be objectively attributed to a single marketing event.
