I've barely even talked to the dude who I assume is the wildshape you can romance. Of course I didn't know. I've been rolling with the boss bitches because all the good fighters are the ladies.
I specifically avoid most gaming sites and forums because I hate this type of casual spoiling. I don't want to have to avoid beehaw gaming too.
I know a lot of people don't care about spoilers, and that's a-okay and a valid way to enjoy games. But surprises are very important to the way I enjoy them. I hardly ever replay games either, for this reason. I totally understand why some people don't care at all, but nonetheless, spoilers like this do affect my enjoyment of games. This one admittedly probably less so than most, but even so, I'd have rather not known ahead of time.
Edit: ah, apparently this was part of a marketing campaign? That's more forgiveable, then, for people to be chatting about it, though I still don't want to know.
Not really. It tells you that there’s a druid who can turn into a bear and there’s a romance option for him. That’s it.
Doesn’t mention who he is or how he‘s relevant to the story. Most players won’t even see that scene in their first playthrough unless they explicitly look for it.
Yeah, that's really a small part of the game lmao. There are also way more companions in general than I thought there would be. I just recruited the druid last night and in the same area I recruited one other person and killed another who I thought was just a boss but apparently you can recruit. 3 potential companions from one dungeon is crazy lol
I understand frustration with potential spoilers, but to be fair this scene was in a livestreamed demo that Larian hosted that went viral before the game even launched. It's not been kept particularly secret and I don't think it's probably a major plot point.
the point is that I should get to decide whether or not I learn about game stuff outside of the game. I did not watch any demos or play early access because I want to experience everything including the small stuff for the first time.
I can control not watching YT/Twitch/etc but I can't control someone just full on posting a spoiler in the title of a post. If this was a BG3 community - fine. but it's general gaming.
Bear sex. Not what I would expect from this game but I haven’t played any in the series. It does make me want to play it just to see how this fits into the story tbh. Good marketing.
