Lol the main two love interests sure but all the rest were, hey girl I’m sterile while he gave them fuck me eyes.

I won't speak for anyone here but the reason I'm less interested in any game trying to appeal to the woke crowd is:
Did they write the same one about Cyberpunk? Whats the issue?

If I was being generous I would say something got lost in translation, but that 170ish hours of "cinematics" number is including when characters are "locked" in dialog. So as soon as you start to talk to a dude, they start the timer, then count the whole back and forth with the party.
people who make woke games have their priorities in the wrong place. its like Christian games and movies. the priority is on evangelizing Jesus, not making a good game ore movie. so they all suck. this effects every level of production. Hires are prioritized based not on merit, but being part of the cult. the work itself doesn't focus quality, but instead virtue signaling or proselytizing. so the sound sucks, the lightning sucks, the acting sucks. etc.
It's more the "everything is an affront to me!" thing that's just about every little thing. It's liked I posted, 20 years ago no one would've batted and eye and just laughed. Now people think it's some fucking furry virtue signaling because these people are just offended by EVERYTHING. If Star Wars was released today they'd ask why the black guy was so cool and rich, why the girl was so good with a blaster, and why the main bad guys were white. It's just every.little.thing. about every single thing. Super tiring when you want to discuss how good a game is to play and it always comes down to "well some blue hair gay trans probably made it which is why it sucks." This isn't even hyperbole. I wish it was.
What most of these people fail to realize is the games aren't bad because of wokeness or gay characters. They're bad because the companies suck shit. They've been sucking shit for decades and now people just get to play this "woke go broke" shit. No man, these companies get huge, get lazy, and stop innovating. That's why this shit sucks. The upstarts that crush it are "woke" too, but they have actual talent and ambition. That's the difference. Not to be all internet, but it's fucking Hitler's Germany. Wokeness isn't the cause of EVERYTHING'S downfall, the shitty fucking greedy companies who are fine with cranking out status quo games are the problem. They know they'll move 2 million boxes of something as dull and uninteresting as Diablo 4 so they don't bother doing anything extra. Then people blame women or gays or whatever they want when it's fucking Ron Blizzard Sr. who just wants the shit shipped ASAP for an extra 50% 3 day preorder.
The "they wasted time and money to do this!" shit is funny too. It probably took them like 4 man hours with the way shit is made now. They have 173 hours or some shit of cinematics. This is part of that schtick where they probably have all sorts of various scenarios for the same events based on choices and models and shit. It's really just a business ploy and it's probably something like 30-40 hours of story cinematics with various slight twists.

Games aren't bad because they're woke. They're bad because the companies making them are bad. Whenever you blame anything immediately on wokeness or shit you look like a fucking German peasant. "Oh yeah, we're failing because of the wokes. The wokes are making everything bad." No, you boomer and coomer fucks, it's because the $$$ matters more than the game and that's the bottom line.
This is a lot of words to say you want to fuck gay bears.

Why is this a problem for BG3 but wasn't a big deal for Cyberpunk? Is it because Cyberpunk is inherently degenerate?
Yes, the games have sucked shit for a long while now. The only thing that's changed in recent years is they now suck shitdicks. In other words, games were already bad, but now they're bad and gay.
Edit (from DoS 2 wiki): "In order to develop the game, the studio expanded from 40 people to a team of 130, and from one studio in Belgium to four international studios." They scaled up their team a bit for DoS 2, but 130 people still seems pretty small compared to what they have now. I doubt it was more than a handful of people that had any say about trying to get the BG IP, all of which have probably been there for 10+ years.

Hl alyx had a mixed race female protagonist that got further tomboyed compared to previous games, yet no one cried woke because it was just a thing that was part of the world , not something that was used to promote the game. I think woke is from a combination of diversity stuff coupled with ‘hey this is why our game is good!’. Tuco prolly jumping gun here, I have a feeling larian has a lot of compelling components to this game and this is just a distraction but I could be wrong.
