Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General New Steam image of the game is trash

Are you letting a sjw design it?

You've only used fifteen words, and that was enough to make me file any opinions from you in the "worthless" category. Normally, it takes a lot more. That was very efficient of you.

Wait wait, this sounds hilarious. What image are we talking about here?

There are more male origin characters than female, and the poster-boy for BG3 is a red eyed squid-man. What do you mean?

I'm afraid I have no idea. *shrug* etc.

If only an erectile dysfunction could post…

Someone forgot to put their glasses on I guess.

If only? It evidently can.

Divinity art style inherited. It is not that bad, but not good either.

Gotta give it to the mods on these forums, their tolerance for members who very obviously only intend to troll and will contribute little of actual value is extremely high.

I think things are getting a little impolite, so perhaps we could rein it in a bit, folks.


That has been remarked about before; and I can see the point (albeit not the "SJW" angle). ISTR (though I don't have the exact quote to hand) the explanation is that a number of different approaches were tried out precisely because they didn't want it to look too DOS-2-like, but that the art direction gravitated towards the same conclusion simply because it worked and the others didn't. I guess it was a choice between difference for its own sake or the risk it may be seen as more of the same.

Of course it was worded much more eloquently (and I dare say concisely) than my re-telling.

i disagree.
And i realy dont like invasive SJWs.

Rofl. Anyone who complains about 'sjw's and 'no politics in muh gamez!' is actually saying 'Don't add anything that is not my race/preferences! Different things confuse and scare me!'

I have to hand it to the op, though; to have those two braincells bump together in the vast, empty void of his skull long enough to make a post here is impressive!

Guys.

This started off deeply toxic. It’s not going to rise above that ignominious beginning.

I am an eternal optimist and believe that something can be salvaged.

OTOH, I have a headache.

The mere presence of inclusiveness doesn't inherently imply SJW. I definitely like integrity more than I like SJW oriented decision making. That said, I've looked at the Steam page and have literally no idea what OP is talking about. I can't even figure out what could be construed as SJW.

If is probably the pink haired halfling at the bottom of the page. Pink hair is a trigger for some people.

I maybe totally wrong, since OP has very specific way of expressing his thoughts, but I thinks it's all about this:

It may deserve some criticism for certain companions suddenly being more important than others and not very good logo position. I even took liberty to show how I think it could be composed with all companions being there. Here:

Dear Larian, I know you aim for perfection, but it's way too small picture for trying to place there anything but logo in a making sense way.

That has nothing to do with social justice, so that would be even more weird.
