Ballas Gate 3 but instead of fighting the absolute you go hard in the paint. Picture felt relevant since Im known to enjoy both twinks and muscle mommies.

      I fucking loved Lae´Zel was probably my fav. char. Minthara was cool but it didnt feel worth it to loose out 3(?) other chars just to get her (and I do like Minti).

      I think they changed how you get Minthara in one of the updates ? So its not so punishing anymore.

      I’m on break from playing after finishing Act 2 but pretty much always had Lae’zel and Shadowheart in the party, lots of character development for both, got used to them. For the third character I had Astarion in the beginning and then Minthara later. I didn’t go the ‘full evil’ route to get Minthara but it still cut off some quests early as a result.

      Personally if there is ever a time to bang its before going into almost certain death …thats just me though. Die with no regrets and all that.

          There is a chance it might be the worst sex of your life. There is also a chance it’s going to be amazing—or just alright. I would rather give it a shot if I have the opportunity. If it turns out terrible, I’m going to be too busy during the upcoming fight to really care. Plus, if it’s really that bad, at least you’ve got a fun story if you survive.

          I’m usually a cautious and reserved person, but if we’re talking about high risk (potentially leading to death), I say party hard while you have the chance.

          Dont misunderstand me I have 0 problem with you not liking the horniness of Baldurs Gate. Im just stating that if I was put in a terrible situation/with possile death I would try to unwind as much as possible in my off time and do things I would not do under normal circumstances. Consequences be damned. Basically live as if you already are dead. Like you can bet I would take any drug under the sun and would be drunk most of the time if I had to fight in a war…just to cope. (Which is why I wouldnt make a good soldier I assume)

    I’m bi and I really don’t want to fuck anyone in that party except maybe Wyll.

    The racist murder-fish is a hard pass, I don’t even want her in my party even if a fighter would be pretty helpful right now

    Muscular mommy is really not my thing

    Astarion’s fun to have around but he mostly activates my “creepy weirdo” detectors and not “hot guy”

    The whiny horny Wizard who eats my magical items I’d generally like to talk less

    And then Shadowheart is… fine I guess. Kinda boring and I don’t think she’s that cute but better than being actively awful

    Wyll is a cheeseball but I think it’s cute. Bro named himself like he’s a whole group

      Without spoiling too much, there is quite a bit of payoff for sticking with Lae’Zel until the end, imho. I do agree that she is a bit off-putting at the start, though. Unfortunately, I didn’t get much time with Wyll or Karlach, which is a shame since they seemed like some of the more enjoyable companions.

      I’m also bisexual, and frankly, I’m not a picky eater, so some character quirks don’t really stop me from having a good time. (I do understand that some people have more specific tastes or higher standards, and there’s nothing wrong with that.)

      Larian’s character writing has never been very interesting to me - I’m not sure what it is, perhaps there’s a showiness to them that feels shallow. It doesn’t help that their back stories are almost always “supercool world-shaker who had a More Interesting Adventure than this… Level 1”, as that always starts them off on the back foot with me for entirely petty reasons.

      By contrast with various other games, perhaps their character backstories and the talk they inspire are less about “the cool things I did and their Dark Consequences that now directly affect you” and more about life events that exist outside the Plot?

      Eh, I’m probably remembering things a bit rosily…and, uh, I forgot that I was originally trying to say something about their appeal rather than just rambling.

      It was glorious. I almost regret playing a rather quick (60h) evil playthrough. Missed a bunch of stuff but that gives me an excuse to play it again in a couple of years after its super polished and has a ton of mods.

          Baldurs Gate is one of the rare games where a 100h game time can feel earned. Stuff like Assassins creed just got so much bloat and busywork which can be nice for a while but after like 30-40h im usually kind of fed up with most AAA games.

            Yeah, I’m glad that Assassin’s Creed and Assassin’s Creed II felt perfectly paced and just the right amount of padding and side-quests and content.

            Damn, and I miss the first Assassin’s Creed

            I will say, I however, that I really liked Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag but I love “nautical games.”

            Yeah, I get the conflicting “I just want to finish the game” and “I don’t want to miss the side content” feelings and I usually just drop the game at that point lol.
