And Siege of Dragonspear... well, the less said about that SJW shit-fest the better.
Never heard this take before. What are you referring to?
The most famous
example, but SoD is riddled with such content (and other equally bad writing). Check out the SoD thread for further info :D
Not true. It only has a few instances of such stuff. The rest is similar to BG1 writing. And combat is way better than PoE.
It had: transsexuals (in a setting where the polymorph self spell would make that obsolete), significant changes to already established characters' personalities, blatant attempts to shoehorn hard-core leftist ideology in a goddamn fantasy game, etc.
As for the
writing:
So, no, it did not have writing that was
similar to BG1's.
It had ONE transsexual. It had one instance of gamergame comment that was removed with a patch and it had a few less than stellar conversation, nothing really important.
The picture you posted is not one of those, this is a goofy conversation that BG1 was full off.
ONE transsexual in a setting where there wouldn't be any transsexuals is one transsexual too many. Besides that and the gamergate bit, it also had: the refugee crisis commentary, changing character the writers weren't happy with (such as Safana), psychedelic Californian hippies, threatening your companion
Voghiln when he calls you a wench (there's no option to take it in stride, just different shades of offendedness), and other assorted SJW-infested crap.
Also, dude, sorry, but BG1 didn't have
anything like that banter.
It had its share of goofiness, yes, but nothing like this Joss Whedon-wannabe style
lol-random humor.
It is a magical world that can have whatever. Not everyone has access to magic that permanently changes your gender (shapeshift spells even if they are permanent can be dispelled). If it can have part lion, part snake, part dragon or part bear part owl and 100 different such examples, it can have transsexuals. Don't be retarded. What was bad in that transgender case is how it was presented which was not done well. But because you have problems for them even existing means I am talking to a mindless zealot.
Gamergate thing was removed and studio owner apologized. As far as I am concerned it didn't exist. And as a person that didn't even follow the whole gamersgate war I didn't even care it was there in the first place.
Refugee crisis ingame was not a commentary on real life refugee crisis, that was just said that way by zealots like you. It was a very logical ingame result of what was happening. The game even lets you help them or chuck them all to bits with your weapons.
"Californian" hippy part is one of the bad things I was talking about so I agree there but that is a side character that many probably didn't even talk to as he does not talk to you if you ignore him.
Voghlin part was also bad and it is other bad thing I agree about, that one conversation was not done well.
So we got 2 bad short conversations and a 2 sentence conversation with transsexual that could have been done better out of 20h of gametime? Congrats zealot, you just uncovered a jew plot to rule the world!
Don't forget to put your tinfoil hat on before you leave your bunker.
