This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Why D&D SJWs are Attacking Baldur's Gate
« on: October 28, 2020, 01:16:45 am »
I really didn't expect to be doing a video about baldurs gate 3 but here we are! Why? Because there's ttrpg / dnd SJWs who are trying to destroy it, and I want to go into how and why.

Well, I'd say it was a matter of time.

I'm kinda curious how it will end.
The bigger the title, the less there is to be gained by giving in to the perpetually offended as most people just don't care about their imaginary issues.

Strange. Is that still happening?

My take since I am a vidya gaemah and have been following this fairly closely (I don't do early access though...):
Funny enough, the developers commented that the early access people were creating their characters as.... "The default Vault Dweller" aka The Lone Wanderer from FallOut:
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/8/8a/Lone_Wanderer_action_figure.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101008165856

It was meant as a callback to the original Balder's Gate team, which came from Interplay, which made FallOut. Surprisingly, the blue outfit selected did resemble the iconic videogame character, they were laughing about it and it was cute. However, it was the Vidya Gaem Urinalists who Reee'd "WHITE MAN! WHITE MAN NAHTSEE BAD!!! GRRR....". Thereby, making claims that the players of the game are bad and evil people.
This caught the devs by surprise and their reactions show it. In fact, being an indie studio, they were probably unaware that this would be spun and spun until ... https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/10/16/baldurs-gate-3-devs-sorely-disappointed-that-most-popular-character-creation-option-is-a-white-human-male/

*sigh* Pundit isn't wrong about the whys, but vidya gaems have been under attack from the SJWs and their media for far too long now. Also, IMHO, THE BEST D&D video game of all time is The Pool Of Radiance from SSI released in 1988 Commodore 64 version (first serious attempt at 1E AD&D rules on the computer).
