    Is Baldurs Gate 3 considered Woke? Why?

    Is it the bear fucking? It’s the bear fucking, isn’t it?

      Maybe the fact that several characters are canonically not straight including

      minor spoiler

      The daughter of a benevolent god

        I am quite aware of that. My current Char is in a homosexual relationship.

        My comment was supposed to be a humorous jab at the fact that BG3s romances go way further than same-sex relations.

          It’s not just your companions, which could have been seen as just being “player-sexual”, but also NPC characters in relationship with other NPC characters, which are more direct statements.

        The question was intended to be slightly humorous.

        Someone got a stick up their ass about all the companion characters exposing their desire for the protagonist. Yeah, I saw it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong the freedom of choice. Although I do agree the implementation of the romance options is a bit heavy handed.
