[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9105327, member: 4534"] I found BG3 jarring because I didn't expect that kind of thing in a D&D game. Not knowing a whole lot about the Witcher series, I had no such expectations when playing. I don't find anything atypical about how romance is handled in BG3 when compared to other CRPGs. Most of them handle it rather poorly, and I think in one of the Bioware games I even romanced an NPC on accident. Like I was just going through dialogue to be friendly and suddenly they were ready for good time fun. True story: Many years ago my mother and sister were at my apartment and my sister selected a movie for us to watch. [I]Boogie Nights[/I]. It's a good movie, but not one I would want to watch with my mother. Personally, I'm not embarrassed by these kinds of things. I'm not embarrassed about the random harlot table for 1st edition AD&D as I think it's perfectly fine for any random table of urban encounters. On the flip side, I'd be embarrassed to have a copy of Avalanche Press' d20 supplement [I]Doom of Odin [/I]sitting on my coffee table for all my guest to view. We all got our hang ups and sometimes it's hilarious what bothers us versus what doesn't bother us. [/QUOTE]
