Ima just be real, Larian dialed the fantasy racism up to 10 with Baldur’s Gate 3. I get mfs reacting to your race is cool and adds flavoring, but in most these games your race doesn’t really impact that much social interactions. You’ll get a spare acknowledgment or maybe new dialogue option with one character or so, but it’s a lil treat when it comes up and it’s not like they’re mean to you (or other characters). I wouldn’t say the relations between said fantasy races aren’t touched on in a lot of cRPGs, but it’s all pretty tame. Not BG3 level. It really doesn’t come up that much. Usually, If characters have conflicts with you, or each other it’s because of personality clashes or differences in ideology. It’s not like mfs are at each other’s throats because of their said fantasy race.

Like I’ve never played a cRPG where your chosen fantasy race gets discriminated against like it does in BG3. Dawg, mfs like Lae’zel and her distain for tieflings (or astarion and his gnome racism, etc) do not really exist like they do in BG3 in other games. That’s why I would always kill Lae’zel in Early Access because I always play Tieflings and I had never encountered a mf like her before. I didn’t like her

I know that some people are like “lol chill out its fake. Toughen up” but mf I had never had an NPC call me a “foulblood” as tiefling (or “knife ears” as an elf, etc.) and I have hundreds of hours in WOTR, a game about a crusade against demons and devils. Mfs in WOTR and Kingmaker did not call my character fantasy slurs, they didn’t even really acknowledge the fantasy race I was.

I gotta just state bluntly that fantasy racism isn’t really a thing in most cRPGs. I think that it’s for the best tbh.

I’m not tryna drag Larian but I don’t think they made the right choice by doing this. There’s a reason why most of these cRPGs hardly acknowledge the player character’s chosen race. Yes, it’s fake, but people already get called names in real life so why would they want this in their video game?

finding wyll at the tiefling party:

when making a character remember! are they a FAG?

Fucked up beyond belief

Actually would suck in real life (and ideally in the story too)

Gay

black people in the bg3 fandom will express the inherent antiblackness perpetrated by the fans and the game itself and the response would be said fans doubling down why they're justified to think that wyll is boring, too nice, not very well written (you can't have this problem with wyll when rolan/dammon/zevlor have fanbases) , you're literally just showing that you either don't care and that you are contributing to the problem

What type of trans headcanon?

The nature of the trans headcanon can, of course, vary. You might see them as a trans woman, trans man, as any kind of non-binary gender such as bigender, agender, genderfluid, or undefined transmasc/transfemme non-binary... or maybe something else! Maybe they're questioning, maybe they don't have a label. They might also be at different stages with their relationship with transness and transition, e.g. possibly only realising they are trans across the duration of the game vs. realised years ago.

What if I have more than one trans headcanon?

You're a gorgeous and deeply sexy individual but please try to decide between your favourites.

Also: You are more than welcome to leave your reasoning for all your trans headcanons and discuss your other favourites on the tags.

wyll is 5’6” and wrought is about 6’4”-6’6” btw. peace and love on planet earth <3

quastion. do you guys think wyll is tall. this isn’t about game models this is about what you believe

Round 2, side A, bracket 3

"people just didnt get to know halsin well enough" are you sure. he is a white man that uses a ton of words to say nothing and hisbonly personality traits are that he is large, middle aged, and wittles ducks ? sorry if u think theres more to him you are likely suffering from brunette white man syndrome where you add personality where there is a void

i do think that wyll would pay at the d&d equivalent of the subway turnstile, but not out of respect for the law. hed know that its rude to flaunt his status like that when he can 100% afford it. however. he would pay for it, go through the turnstile, look the fist in the eyes, and then hold open the exit door for a bunch of people to go through. what are they gonna do? tell his dad? "so you know your son? the one who saved your life after you threw him out on his ass? yeah, he let people commit fare evasion. no, no he paid, he just- yeah. yeah okay, ill go now"

wyll "people's princess" ravengard is so so real to me. the gate will love their prince

Wyll has slept next to you. He is still there when your eyes open.
