I just had to turn down a prancing Wyll. I tried to let him down easy, but he wasn’t getting the hint.
Is this what it’s like to be a woman? Dudes come prancing up to you out of nowhere like it’s their best move, then get bitchy when you don’t drop your pants for a two step?
I know I risk summoning the worst of the Internet with this question. I’m still curious if anyone’s experienced similar in the game. Maybe I’m way off thinking there’s some empathy lessons in here. It’s obviously not the message of the game, but maybe one of the messages.
the tadpole must be applying pressure to the horniness-switch in everyone’s head, the Camp Horny Jail -experience can’t be explained otherwise.
People asks you out when they find you attractive. I fail to see how this is too horny. If any, I’d say it’s prude to see that as a problem.
It was a bit buggy at the beginning. I had Gayle and Halsin not register I rejected them. But I saw it fixed in a patch note I think.
I felt BG3 much more natural and real than previous games of this kind. Bioware games for example are much more mechanical about it, which is much weirder than BG3 to me.
You probably started playing after they patched the romances. On the playthrough I started first, Gale and Asterion are super horny for my male character with absolutely no romantic interest in men. I was casually nice to them, just being friendly. Apparently I made huge romantic progress because the options were literally ‘take me to your magic world’ or ‘i hate you fuck off’. Both of them basically started going ‘I want you so bad’ every other sentence, I had to switch them out of my team. What BG3 is really lacking in this regard is the option to become good friends in non-sexual relationships, even after the patches.
I had gayle and halsin bugged with this. Maybe not halsin. Gayle thought we were together when it never happened. Halsin was in love but correctly rejected. I had to turn down Wyll in act 1 and he was not very happy, but that seems very normal to me.
You know I feel like many irl relationships works more like in BG3 than any other game. People sleep together or get rejected or hide their feelings. Most people either are in a relationship or looking for one. That’s just how it is. To me this makes BG3 companions more real.
I get what youre saying but ‘Everyones gender preference equals my gender and everyone wants a relationship just with me’ is kind of the opposite of my rl experience. It just feels so unnatural that all female characters are hetero while all males are gay automatically. The exact opposite if your character is female. Also, why cant you reject someone by saying you arent attracted to their gender? Coz thats what I would do irl, not just say ‘leave me alone’
The game was much hornier at release. It’s been tamed down with the patches.
I’ve watched dudes in real life be much more forward that than Gale.
I had a friend tell someone “No one at this table is doing anything with your dick tonight. You are wasting your time here, move on” that was finally what got him to work on the next group. I swear she’s going to end up being punched in the face by someone.
Gale ropes you into his weird romance if you just try to be nice. He’s the only one who actually skeeves me out.
Wyll comes on strong, but I don’t feel like it’s weird per se, just him not getting the subtle hints.
Astarion I love, and he reacts in such an Astarion way when you turn him down.
If you reject Shadowheart, it’s like kicking a puppy.
Rejecting Lae’zel is pretty easy, since she’s pretty upfront that she just wants to smash at first.
Karlach is way too cool about being turned down for someone so hotheaded. I love her and her big, flaming, mechanical heart.
They had major bugs in the relationship system in earlier versions of BG3. Depending on which version you are on, or which version you started your current game in, you might be seeing those bugs at work.
