When your son’s friends start sending him bear pics, you know you made a splash.
Ah. Spoilers. Great.
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.
If you’ve managed to miss anything about the bear sex until this post, I’m honestly kind of impressed.
Meh. As I get older I don’t have my finger on the pulse anymore. Things come out and I go “oh cool” and I pick it up whenever.
It was one of the few things I DID know about this game lmao
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.
Irritated this is in the title of post/article. Spoilers…
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.
Dude, I heard about the bear sex scrolling on Mastodon. And then saw it again all over YouTube in thumbnails. If you follow any gaming news at all, you’re going to see stuff like this, the mildest of mild spoilers.
Doesn’t make it ok. All that means is people have gotten less considerate of their fellow gamers
It was something in the marketing material. Larian put it out so people would talk about it. And look, people are talking about it!
I think you’re purposely missing the point. If you can’t understand why posting spoilers in titles is inconsiderate - I don’t know how else to explain it. Just say you’re too selfish to even take 2 seconds to consider others who feel differently in the gaming community and go. Rather than try to explain and convince me you’re not inconsiderate - cause you are. Thanks
Lol, dude get off the internet if you are that worried. It was literally in the marketing material, you buffoon.
No, thanks. Sorry my pointing out that people (sounds like including you) can be inconsiderate by putting spoilers in titles is so deeply upsetting for you that you’re reduced to name-calling just to save your own ego. You can disagree and think it’s not a big deal. That’s fine. But then own that you just don’t care about others.
Reel it in, bub. Your mask is starting to peel.
Unless you are serious, in which case, seek psychiatric help.
