@SpicyCurty its definitely made a bit more egregious considering they had the narrative means to include an additional "return a previous time" incantation that let you experience the original ending, but they're obviously aren't too interested in preserving the weakest part of their game
@SpicyCurty I agree, for the sake of preservation and art I do think both versions of hades 2 should be accessible, but given how much worse I find the original to be I just cant bring myself to be that devastated over it
@TigoODonnell It really bums me out that silent hill is a billie jean situation where I think its an all time great song but I cant really square away the crimes of one of the artist crucial to its creation
@CorbynRed@illusoryego@Alison_is_lost oh my god you're right, I honestly hate him but he's the single man/thing defending da2 from the tedious totally bi cast allegations, a se-"bastion" if you will
@ChazakielDoremi im genuinely so curious as to why you think this, is this another "I missed all of the dialogue of characters expressing their sexual interests outside of the player so im labeling this as playersexual" or is it something new
@brdmoedr@Alison_is_lost understandable response, havent played it yet but from what ive heard theres like 4 total main romances, 1 guy and 1 girl for both presenting genders right? I guess thats what considered woke these days
@Alison_is_lost I wish bg3's main cast had diverse sexualities but im just never going to agree with "romanceable cast is pan = playersexual" when every character explicitly states their attraction to men. Also all of the prominent gay couples you left out. Idk this feels a little dishonest
@CVelkyar@Alison_is_lost I've come to the conclusion that a lot of people wont consider a character's queerness as legitimate if they dont have a scene where they look directly into the camera and explain the exact details of their sexuality
@QueenDragonie@profdekarios and personally I really don't much prefer inquistions "here's our gay man. here's our lesbian. here's our bi man, and here's our bi woman. Everyone else is straight" approach, it feel just as token and inorganic as bg3's "the entire cast is pan and openly acts like it"
@QueenDragonie@profdekarios this is my main problem with the people who praise bioware's lgbtq+ stuff while being hyper critical of larian, who to be clear are also flawed. They seem to project inquisitions' diverse sexualities onto every game they've made when DAI is the exception rather than the rule
@Vulkiveir@Alison_is_lost honestly I cant tell you what metric the original list is going off of, it seems very silly; I take umbrage with the idea that every romanceable character being pan somehow invalidates its lgbtq+ elements, which the op and many others have asserted
@Cactuarian@CorbynRed I dont fully disagree, my main issue is that "playersexual" refers to characters who have no sexual expression or identity outside of their romance with the player, i.e fallout 4, not the entire romanceable cast is pan and therefore fundamentally doesn't count as being queer
@CorbynRed Everyone is well-meaning and speaking their truth but im kinda tired of being accused of being a fake gay
because I find instantly deriving an entire game as playersexual with zero nuance because the romanceable cast is pan to be genuinely offensive
@CorbynRed I think I give up on this discourse, I have tons of issues with larian and how they handle sexuality in general I feel like everyone who talks about this in bg3 ignores a lot of in game dialogue and npcs while projecting dorian's romance onto every lqbtq+ DA character
