No but you have to be a good craftsman to be an artist, same as you need precise command of language to be a writer.

I wouldn't call someone incapable of creating a good art (like a baby) an artist, just the same as I wouldnt call someone who can drive a driver, just because they sat behind the wheel and crashed. Nd if an artist create a crap art (happens to the best) it is in everyone beat interest to correct them early.

Art can absolutely be taught and it can be judged. There is of course a different matter of objectives, inaccassibility or perhaps too fresh vision.

But come one - it's BG3. It mostly just compiles popular stuff from previous popular titles. It is as much of a wide appeal commercial product as one can get.

Edit. Ok scratch the.above for argument sake. Baby writes a drawing and it is an art. Fine. It doesn't mean it's a good art, or best art or even art this baby wanted to draw. Not that O would recommend belittling a child for their poor drawing skills but if you can you absolutely should teach it to express itself better and more precisely.

Perhaps Larian did include porno like sex scenes for artistic reasons, and perhaps it is the best they can do. Perhaps pornhub is all the cinematic experience they have. I think it would be harmful not to point them to a wide range of options available to them to communicate romance which would be both more effective and make it's game more agreeable with wider audience. A child might learn to say *fuck* when it is upset but it will probably do well to expand its repertoire. It's communication will end up both more precise, more compelling and people will like it better. Al of those are positive. And yeah a good old *fuck* can be handy here and there, but it also can be very very out of place.
