It isn't sexual harassment.

You should speak with my HR department.

I would appreciate it if you did not endorse prejudice against me for being straight. I am only asking for the ability to chose what I am subject to in the privacy of my home and my own game.

Ummm how is Shadowheart asking my female PC to have a drink with her sexual harrasment? Everything else really depends on the answer - which you control, so I really fail to see how the OPTION of romancing same sex character=harrasment

Have you never been hit on by same sex person IRL? Or someone you weren't even a bit interested in? It's the same here, you can simply say no and let other people enjoy whatever the hell they want.

For fucks sake!

Grow the fuck up people, and stop trying to derail a conversation by playing the victim.

That is how the EEOC defines sexual harassment. Draw your own conclusions.

Seems to be a common thing over here, when you don't have an argument, point and scream "Steam troll" because someone has an ever-so-slightly rightwing view on something.

I'm closing this for a bit as it's in danger of overheating. I may reopen it later.

Please don't attempt to continue the discussion in another topic. Thanks.

Why are all the classes either gay acting, high-voiced men or snotty, hard ass women? I am a long-time woman gamer (age 67) and I would like a deep voiced, handsome male as a romance companion. Are all the devs gay men who hate women?? And now the new class, Druid, is a woman!! I'm not gay and do not want a romance with another woman. What is wrong with you people? Why isn't there a sexy, male like Ifan Ben-Mezd for us straight women players? I've quit playing the game as I am disgusted with the companions!!!!!!!!!

First... This is a joke? And second... As I know straight women players love Astarion and Gale.

Well, I think the classical captain Kirk/hero archetype will come back. As will the typical damsel in distress waiting for some manly man to rescue her. The trope became boring after some time, so some people wanted to have something else. But now that got boring too, so they will return to the roots :P

For men, there is a lot like Witcher 3, with the manly Geralt and a lot of nice females. For women, it's admittedly a bit harder. Skyrim comes to my mind, but these romances are very limited. There are a lot of otome games, but many people don't like the ~manga style.

Btw. wouldn't Halsim make a good romance option? I dimly remember some women asking for that.

I don't think there's anything official yet but if the dataminers are to be believed one of the companions is a
a halfling druid named Helia
that is also a
werewolf

Also, very good spoiler notation. A bit ruined by my quoting of your message, revealing the hidden text in the editor, but that's on me. Oops

Okay, my turn:


"As a mature cheese wheel lover who just got here a month ago I'd like to denounce the blatant Cheeseism of the developers. Are all the devs lactose intolerant vegans? What is wrong with you people? Apples are overrepresented in the game in many varieties, while cheese is significantly harder to come by. And now, instead of expanding the range of cheese recipes, they introduce the Goodberry, A FRUIT. Are you kidding me? I don't want to eat more vitamins! Why isn't there a proper grilled cheese sandwich for us cheese lovers? I've quit playing the game as I am disgusted with the food!!!!!!!!!"

Goodberry *is* probably the most hated spell in DnD though, at least among DMs xD

Also, Ifan-smchzan, everyone knows that the Red Prince is the superior paramour. ***defiantly chomps down a goodberry-infused Waterdhavian cheese canapé**
