    Seems really dumb to make such a mod. A game that has characters of different orientations and identities is simply a more believable and thereby better game.

    However from what I have been reading, the game seems to be overly focused on sex and relationships in general, or is that depending on player decisions?

    Edit: I asked an honest question and got downvotes.What the fuck is wrong with some people?

      Overly focused is a stretch. You can manage relationships with up to 6 party members, of which you may have up to 1 intimate scene in each of the 3 acts per party member. This is theoretical, and is generally not achievable like that in one playthrough unless you’re following a guide. Also, those intimate scenes do not always include sex, they are often just deep conversations.

      More importantly, the 3-4 5 minute scenes are spread out over a 60-100 hour campaign lol

        You act like people are just having sex all the time in real life, but as we all know real people rarely ever have sexual relationships. Now if the characters had to masturbate once a day to cartoon characters…

      My first playthrough was 130 hours and my character had sex once, and I only did that because the situation was so outrageous I wanted to see what happened.

      Probably a damn good game, but everything people talk about on the internet is sex 24/7. Makes BG3 sound like a hentai game.

      I totally agree with your second sentence, that it makes the game more believable and (at least for me), and BG3 is such an amazing game thanks to their character cast.

      However, why would it be dumb to make such a mod? Sure, it’s not something I’d use, but it’s actually a pretty cool technological feat, given the voices and everything, and it allows you to finetune the game to more fit your preference or fantasy. RPGs are supposed to be about living through your fantasies, and having fun. It’s a single player game, why shouldn’t people tailor it to their own specific needs and wants?

      Of course, if they are being a dick about it, and spewing their bullshit propaganda in the mod description, the I’m all for just banning it.

        So in my opinion the game spends too much time on relationships of any flavor

        That is what I was worried about. I loved playing Divinity 2 because of it´s focus on exploring and combat and never felt that I needed more love/sex/relationships in the game.

        You’re getting downvoted from one camp who disagrees that more diversity in a game makes it more “believable” and downvoted from another camp that will also downvoted me for disliking or criticizing the game at all. It’s very popular, with good reason, and has generated a very strong fanbase. Suggesting anything is “overly focused” is not gonna fly.

        Some people obviously never learned how to debate. I did not even say that BG3 was overly focused on relationships, I in fact just asked if it was.
