Even then, it doesn't have to be racist. It's all in intent. Could be, but doesn't have to be.

Some people don't change things with much thought put into the "established" rolls or w/e.
Then we'll have to disagree.

Yes, but we're talking about established black characters. That already are targets of racism.

Not some random nobody or a fully customisable npc from the ground up with no background/history.

You already said changing Wyll or Vivienne's race was racist, unless I misunderstood, so why are you going on about the cases of random nobodies or the main character etc.

In things like Baldur's Gate, pre made characters are a thing. So modding them doesn't have to be a some weird thing only tied to racism.

That is racism.

I said it would depend on the reason.
Then what the fuck are you arguing?

The mods in question specifically changed set companions/NPC's that are made by the devs and are not player made 'design your own' characters.

No one cares if you make your own character white.

If it's done for racist reasons, or making a thing... then yeah. I can see you're point.

Changing to color of someone isn't innately racist. As a white dude, I prefer Latina girls. Can see myself making a tan girl toon. Not the same, but similar.

Doesn't have to be racist innately. Fact. No way will you objectively prove otherwise either.
Changing Isabela from black to white is racist.
Changing Vivienne from black to white is racist.
Changing Wyll from black to white is racist.

These are just facts and pretending it's just about you wanting 'Latina' girls is such rot. If you can't see the obvious racism in turning the black people white then I'm not sure anyone is capable of helping you.

The mod would not have got any attention if people didn't blow it up on reddit and twitter. Just like the white Wyll mod for Baldur's Gate 3.

I wish people would realize that. That Hogwarts game wouldn't have been so successful if it wasn't for all the people buying it just because of the outrage.

But now you get people who see this and go "I don't understand what the problem is" which creates arguments that drive these people even further into a direction we don't want them to go.

Yall are creating your own enemies. People are naturally inclined to side against the loud obnoxious complainers. It doesn't matter if you're in the right or wrong. Humans are just that simple.

The key to winning is to not give them any attention.
Nah, fuck that shit.

All the white washing racist mods for Bioware games and Larians should be called out and banned.

Giving space for bigots to foster and spread their hatred only let's them ruin and taint all they touch.

Both are story tellers with different battle mechanics. Also BG3 is more open than you give credit.
Sort of? I probably should have put 'largely linear' as while you can go and do various things in whatever order you absolutely have nowhere near the freedom berhesda games allow.

You very much have different beats to come across one after the other and can't just go be a miner or a taxi service.

Also, almost every game tells a story.

The harder content can't be, mind. And taking control let's you push more on campaign.

But really, most gacha give you easy auto for the daily stuff, as they should. Even star rail has auto for most content.

But if you're not enjoying the gameplay, then easy enough to watch story/lore on YouTube.

Pretty much stays the same, as all the combat is done in the same manner. Occasionally get bosses, or ones to so with other players, but only real difference is just a few extra things to do.

Same issue with their previous game, Destiny Child. A decent story, writing and lore for a phone game but the gameplay isn't the best.

It does get easy and you can largely auto most things at least?

Don't get the Starfield/BG3 comparisons either.

Both are focused on different things and work in different ways.

One is a highly focused, linear game and the other is a free roam, do what you want game.

BG3 is definitely a much better game imo and the companions blow all others out, save for Bioware's themselves, with Obsidian rivaling them.

Starfield's might not be as great, but I've found them plenty engaging and with decent voice acting for most NPC's. I've found plenty of great quests, and just random interactions.

Basically what they've done for all the projects.

For practically every company providing masks, beds etc. Zto the NHS during lockdown - billions unusable and contracts given to groups no experience but Tory members.

Barge to cram immigrants into? Given to a foreign company at vastly more than already paying to house them. And then cant use it as had a deadly strain of legionnaires in it.

All of this is just open corruption and the barely even try to deny it. And nothing happens anyway.
