I just had to turn down a prancing Wyll. I tried to let him down easy, but he wasn’t getting the hint.

Is this what it’s like to be a woman? Dudes come prancing up to you out of nowhere like it’s their best move, then get bitchy when you don’t drop your pants for a two step?

I know I risk summoning the worst of the Internet with this question. I’m still curious if anyone’s experienced similar in the game. Maybe I’m way off thinking there’s some empathy lessons in here. It’s obviously not the message of the game, but maybe one of the messages.

    The game was much hornier at release. It’s been tamed down with the patches.

    I’ve watched dudes in real life be much more forward that than Gale.

    I had a friend tell someone “No one at this table is doing anything with your dick tonight. You are wasting your time here, move on” that was finally what got him to work on the next group. I swear she’s going to end up being punched in the face by someone.

      You know. I wasnt as skeeved out by lazel. She says what she wanted, I said no, it was essentially over. The revenge sex after just proved the character is emotionally under developed - and given the backstory that’s 100% on brand - but it left a different impression.

      Granted, this is a video game, and not some bar where a psycho might not take a direct response like that very well.

    It’s annoying, I wish there was a setting to just turn off romance, or at least put strict limits on it. My tween wants to play the game and it’s pretty much the only reason I haven’t let him yet. And it’s unfortunate because the game is truly a masterpiece experience otherwise.

      I strongly disagree. You should not kneecap games to have them be able to be played by more audiences.

      The lack of games for children is a separate issue, but you can probably talk to yours and make sure they understand the problematic themes. Note that this game also has other adult themes and is probably unsuitable anyway. It is somewhat disconcerting that you are only concerned about nudity/sexual themes.

    Remember the bug that made Gale instantly want to marry you because you fed him?

    Honestly I’m surprised they patched it, seems like a pretty realistic relationship dynamic to me!
