BG3 has two of the most thoughtful, unapologetic, no holds barred depictions of men with abusive female partners I've every seen (Wyll + Mizora and Gale + Mystra), which is so rare to see in any media but especially video games, and some of the Larian writers seem determined to convince me it was 100% by accident

#and like with mystra they even managed to do it without demonizing women as a whole!!#like wow if I could believe y'all did that on purpose I'd be impressed!#i know mizora isn't technically wyll's partner but you know what I mean #imo larian is running into a similar trap bioware has fallen into #where they are waaayyyy too present in their fan communities #bc like nearly everything the writers said about the game recently has made me go :/#and I think a large part of what they're doing is trying to appeal to a specific and very weird part of their fanbase #i'm conflicted bc on one hand i'd love to get a patch to give some of the underwritten companions more content #but on the other hand I like what we have and really *really* don't want them to change/take it #bg3 #wyll ravengard #gale of waterdeep #marie speaks
