Why is it whenever I try to find any info out about this game I find posts full of edgy "haha I killed that, are U mad?" assholes and borderline "race realists"?

Ffs I just wanted to find a post that would help me avoid killing Kobolds and the one posts I find asking the question is full of edgelords bragging about how they love to kill "vermin" races and gays.

This is what you get when you make a fantasy world were certain races are born evil, it attracts all the racist freaks that want to live out their genocide fantasies.

It's killing my fun for this game.

Compared to the old lore BG3 world is relativised shades of grey, hell they even did slightly less evil mindflayer and some conversations with githyanki are not made entirely of insults from their side and attack regardless of what you do.

I assumed Shar was “true” evil, but also hoped Shadowheart was right in that she was a genuine source of comfort and hope for broken and hurting people. Just misunderstood by those outside her influence. Nope. Just evil-sadist.

Agree, way too much like Vatican

elder scrolls

Pelinal. It always comes back to Pelinal.
