Baldur's Gate III Announced - ...and it's coming to Google Stadia and PC

[Imperial Citizen]

I’m just here laughing at all the people trying to rationalize the bear fucking. Yeah, it’s an option in a video game, but the character is still getting sodomized by a bear. It’s still beastality. And yes, at least one of the developers jerked off to this because this is a fetish of their’s.

I don’t care that they put it in there. It’s weird, degenerate, and silly, but frankly it’s not worth my time to focus on it.

 

[Kulee Baba]

Okay, but why is there an option to have sex with a bear? What purpose does that actually achieve beyond satisfying people who want to have sex with a bear? And why do you want there to be an option that is blatant bestiality?

Because to many it's funny and then to a small subset of weirdos it gets them aroused. As a resident Simpsons nerd I hate referencing shitty post-golden age episodes of the Simpsons but they pretty much did the same thing in a Treehouse of Horror.

Like that's the same shit, actually this clip from The Simpsons is more sexual in nature because you hear Homer and Panther-Marge fucking. Back to video games is it that different from having your player's character get pounded by FISTO?

You guys are acting like Larian is hiding 5 minutes of Bear on Human fucking. Maybe Coomer Modders will make that reality but they're not going to get the game on Xbox and Playstation if they included that. It ends with the Squirrel dropping a nut in bewilderment. It's a gag.

Would Meteor work? I'm starting to realize why Sephiroth was so intent on his ridiculous ritual overcast of that spell. Somehow he became prescient of all the Cloud slash fics the yaoi dykes would be making.

Meteor Swarm is a shitty capstone spell, much less just one meteor.

Again the problem is that there isn't OPTIONAL BEAR FUCKING in the game it's that there's this constant bitching about what they can/can't do in the game, so they chose to add bear fucking.

They could've added normal fucking at least first.

I'm pretty sure this is Larian's sense of humor more than anything. Swen in the past actually voiced disinterest at romance stuff in games, and it was only added in DOS2 because autistic people kept pushing for it. I've played most of Larian's games and this really just feels like their absurdity, just a way more adult version than we're used to. Divinity Original Sin has a few instant-death-ish situations early in the game meant entirely to haze players, for example. Almost every Larian game is infused with strange wacky humor, this feels like their typical situational humor to me. They've just never been considered a triple-A dev until now. If you play their other games you will probably understand. IMO, even Divinity II: Dragon Knight Saga was a better (and way funnier) game than Oblivion even if they aren't quite comparable.

I mean, when they phrase it this way:

Because at Larian, we have, and ultimately landed on the side of giving the people what they want: tender, consensual romance with a man temporarily transformed into a grizzly bear

that's obviously phrased with a wink and a grin.

I know people here are viligant about furries, but this really just seems par for the course for Larian and their sometimes-absurdist humor. This is Larian having a laugh. This is the same studio where the CEO pitched BG3 to Wizards at their HQ dressed up in a knight's outfit, filming a video full of magical realism just because that's what they do.

No it's not, it's Larian having a laugh, they're one of the last truly passionate dev teams. The games all have a goofy exterior with a lot of dark humor injected throughout and while this is a little more risque for them, I think it's similar humor to in the Witcher 3... Dandelion/Jaskier going to fuck a succubus because "I've never ploughed a succubus before" even after being told point-blank it'll steal his life energy. It's played straight but is deliberately unbelievable/weird.

Swen is an old-school Ultima-style "ultimate freedom" RPG fan, he is more interested in developing systems that allow a wide-range of ways to solve complicated problems in games, that's why the stories of Divinity games have always been lacking a bit. He pushed back a little bit on romance options in one interview for DOS2 saying "that's just not the game we were making," or something along those lines. Having followed the company for awhile it feels like a "well, you guys want romance options in game, sure, heh heh, we'll throw 'em in all right " thing.

God some of the takes are so stupid. Claiming that its not bestiality because its a druid turning into an animal and still fully sapient. So 2 men having sex is not gay as long as one of them is using a spell to become a man. Using this logic its ok for one of them to turn into a child. I swear this is just another way of them trying to wiggle pedo shit.

What is funny is that the more degenerate users in the Steam discussion were trying to justify that saying; "Well it is still two consenting adults and nobody, such as real children, are getting hurt". That slippery slope just keeps getting more slippery. One of the most disgusting comments I saw was on YouTube where a guy talked about how he always plays a druid and has his character shapeshift into a deer and has him have sex with all the deer he comes across because it is oh so quirky and funny. I really think we need to make a sub-forum for the degeneracy in D&D.

I am baffled on how many people (especially journoscum), even the "Fuck western game devs and journoscum" sphere I seen defending this bear sex stunt with some gay cope of "Well akshually if we can be allowed to fuck anime girls, monster people and etc. we might as well go full wacko mode" except all of these examples they listed are human or humanoid, but this is a fucking animal, by that logic that means some person can just barge in and fuck their cat because "we might as well go full whacko mode".

Look, if the furry sub-forum has taught us all anything it's that there are a lot of closet zoophiles and zoosadists in the world. This is an unfortune truth of the internet. For some reason there is a group of people who really, really want to fuck and torture a animal. It seems as of late they have become more brazen with their desires and that is because you are seeing more pushback from normies in regards to their degeneracy.

The bear sex freakout seems totally blown out of proportion. DnD has always had freaky sex shit, it's pretty much normal. If this is killing everyone I imagine one glance at A Dance with Rogues for Neverwinter would turn pearl clutchers to salt.

Just don't fuck the bear. I could understand if this was, like, a mandatory thing for everyone to have to do. Like if the quest was "kill the dragon" but you walk into the cave and it forces you into gay bear sex, but I doubt it.

It ends with the Squirrel dropping a nut in bewilderment. It's a gag.

Gags? What are those? My brain is too rotten from rage to understand such frivolities.

I think some of the people here have never played a real RPG before so they don't understand the fact that you can make choices in the game that influence the story. In fact I kind of believe that a lot of the people upset about the bear thing in the first place don't care about BG3 or even video games as a whole and are just using it as another battlefield in their gay "culture war". Up until the bear thing was shown off they probably didn't even know what a RPG was.

It feels like totally manufactured nothing controversy on both sides. Leftists desperately trying to justify wanting to fuck a bear and rightoids whining about it being too degenerate, even though they otherwise have zero interest in the game.

The problem is the double standards. Having sex and being attracted to beautiful women like Jill from Final Fantasy 16 is bad but shagging a bear is "tender " and "beautiful". This is something that many gamers have brought up. Why is wanting to have sex with beautiful women "problematic" but gay bear sex is considered amazing and beautiful to jurnoscum.

I've had this game on my wishlist for 3 years. Was super excited when I saw the first teaser. After seeing the gay bear sex and the insufferable female characters I dropped it. Not spending my money on a game that is going to insult me. Have better things to spend my money on like books or more wholesome games to play like Doom.

 

[Evil Peter Griffin]

I go play a JRPG and it has loli shit in it. I go play western RPG and it has bestiality in it. Is it too much for devs to keep their fetishes to themselves?

But the game let's you fuck beautiful women and doesnt seem to shame you for it? I don't get what you're talking about here. If you're mad about faggot sjw hypocrisy sure but BG3 let's you fuck girls too.

Not spending my money on a game that is going to insult me

They're insulting you by putting in a gag where, if you're playing a degenerate character, you can choose to get fucked by a guy shapeshifted into a bear?

Did New Vegas insult you with Fisto?

Yes, devs are horny, I blame it on crunch. Sixty hours of work a week cramped in a smelly office and you'd probably want to fuck a bear too.

Bro, have you seen what the women in this game look like? They sure as fuck didn't win the genetic lottery. The men though are pretty good looking which is funny with Western games. The more ugly the women get the more handsome the men get.

They're insulting you by putting in a gag where, if you're playing a degenerate character, you can choose to get fucked by a guy shapeshifted into a bear?

Dude, it is clear that this is some devs fetish. Remember when we all made fun of the Frontier for inserting the devs fetishes into that mod? Why is it now okay? Is it because you are super hyped for this game and refuse to see the bad in it?

Did New Vegas insult you with Fisto?

Yes, it was gross but back then I understood that it was a gag. The game even shamed you for it. Now we are suppose to see bear sex as "tender" and "beautiful".

Yes, devs are horny, I blame it on crunch. Sixty hours of work a week cramped in a smelly office and you'd probably want to fuck a bear too.

You know not everyone wants to fuck an animal due to overworking. Now you are just making excuses. I understand that you are hyped for this game and want to play it. I and others won't shame you for it, but there is clear degeneracy going on in this game as there is with D&D as of late. This is what happens when you hire Tumblr writers and appeal to Twitter.

I've worked in offices and never wanted to fuck a bear. Where the fuck did you work at?

Anyone who is claiming the bear fucking cutscene is tender or beautiful should be spayed or neutered.

I will agree it's odd that there's only one hot female humanoid companion in the whole game followed up by 3 monster girls. Jaheira looks like an elderly asian woman so that's a no on my book. Meanwhile all the Male Companions are young Human/Elf that I think women will find appealing.

And they didn't include a Dwarf companion which is odd to say the least.

Yes, it was gross but back then I understood that it was a gag. The game even shamed you for it. Now we are suppose to see bear sex as "tender" and "beautiful".

I don't think Larian is telling you whatsoever to think that it's tender or beautiful. First off there's no way they invested the manhours to make some gay romance arc, they hired the actor and told him to deliver lines. And then they slapped an animated cutscene together which probably took a few days for their staff to make.

Look back at the stream for the game, the entire audience is laughing at it because it's goofy and over the top. In the same way The Dark Urge murdering Gale is funny. This is a nerdy RPG, it's going for a goofy vibe.

Is the game an unintentional comedy?

It's the devs barely disguised fetish.

When I think 'nerdy RPG with a goofy vibe,' a gay high elf getting sodomized by a gay wood elf druid who has "wildshaped" into a bear is not what I think of

 

[PaladinBoo]

For the people (you know who you are) who are saying that we are getting angry at a nothing burger, we are not calling for the censorship of this game. Censorship in any form is bad plus I'm the type of person who believes sunlight is the best disinfected. However, doesn't mean we won't be shaming the people who are defending the gay bear sex scene and calling a spade a spade. Degeneracy, in any form, is wrong and gross and deserves to rightfully be mocked and shamed.

 

[Kulee Baba]

Again it's totally up to the player to partake in this, it's optional content. It's goofy RPG Sandbox. Remember Rockstar's Bully? You could make Jimmy Hopkins a fag.

Did this bother me? No because I never had my version of Jimmy be a fruitcake. I'm not going to romance the Druid. Hell looking at the game I probably won't romance any character because I don't want to review my player choices and go "Oh if I select this option then I can't trigger the goofy PG-13 cutscene of my character kissing Shadowheart.

The only game I've played that made me care about Romance was Wildermyth because your cartoon cutout protagonists would get a stat bonus when paired up with their lover.

i don't think the game presents getting sodomized by a bear as "tender" or "beautiful" but that the premise of getting fucked by a bear is meant to be humorous in its absurdity (stipulated by the squirrel at the end), personally i disregard anything journos have to say about everything.

of course it's still bestiality in the end, but i don't think the game is showing it off as an example of how beautiful and pure it is to get ravaged by a bear.

Not spending my money on a game that is going to insult me.

lol filtered by a fucking bear.
