Baldur's Gate 3's Japan Release Removes Romping And Torture (www.thegamer.com)

Baldur's Gate 3's Japanese release is getting rid of some of Faerûn's best pastimes - excessive bonking and excessive violence. When the RPG hits the region on December 21, it will remove the ability to enable nudity, and will seemingly censor the sex scenes even further

MagicShel,

What are they supposed to romance the characters for the plot?

MagicShel,

I mean… You’re not gonna outrun that sabertooth on foot.

MagicShel,

I don’t think BG3 has boob physics, though. That or every character has +3 Implants of Toughness.

Anyone else having characters not moving their lips during dialog?

Basically title. I decided to start a new honor mode run after the update the other day (haven’t played in a few months) and getting a bug in which character’s face animations don’t work during dialog. Lips don’t move, expressions don’t change. A little googling didn’t turn up any similar reported bugs except for a...

MagicShel,

I meant I started a new playthrough, sorry. Hopefully that’s not the issue for you though.

MagicShel,

It can be fun in small doses except when it wants you to watch a bunch of cutscenes instead of doing stuff. The biggest drawback is just the length of the game. If you played 5 hours per week it might take upwards of half a year to finish a playthrough.

That being said, it’s probably one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played and the best D&D computer game I’ve ever played. I’m fifty so that encompasses a lot of games. The range of morality and meaningful choices is extremely high. To the point where I want to experience making different choices but it’s hard because it’s such a time commitment to do a whole playthrough just to see what unique dialog options you get for playing a Tiefling or a Druid.

The romances and dialogs can be a little spicy, and it runs the gamut of adult language. I think nudity can be turned off and romance is optional, but you’d have to judge whether that would be a problem for their family. Even the full on sex scenes imply more than they show, but I’d be uncomfortable if I was surprised by one while playing with my kid. This is definitely a judgment call on your part.

It’s a great game and I wouldn’t want to discourage anyone from buying/playing it, but I’d be remiss to not mention some of the reasons it might not be for everyone. I’m hopeful it might lead to introducing my kids to tabletop play. But I’m not overly concerned with language or adult themes in an appropriate context.

MagicShel,

I dressed up as Darth Vader and took my kids out. It was popular. I had several kids assure me they were on the side of the Empire. Then when they got past me, they were like, “I’m really a Jedi,” and run away. It was a good time other than I was completely blind. I couldn’t have chased those little younglings down if I’d wanted.

Anyway what were we talking about? Broke dipshits who chose irrelevance when they had the option of being rich and silent? Meh.

MagicShel,

Bad timing. Yo can’t sell the piddly little shit when Russia already bought the Maralago motherhood.

MagicShel,

That fits perfectly with my plan to keep subscribing until the actors get a good contact and then drop Netflix.
